Places to Cool Down in Oklahoma City!

Summer heat got you and the fam in an "It's too hot outside!" rut? Don’t worry; it happens to the best of us this time of year. Good thing we live where we do! Here are a few of my favorite places to gather up the gang, pack a few snacks, kick up my feet, and make some serious headway on my summer booklist:

Go whitewater rafting AND surfing in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City at RIVERSPORT Rapids & Adventures! The facility has outdoor thrills for all age levels. For more chill experiences in the Boathouse District, float along the Oklahoma River on a standup paddleboard or kayak.

Hurricane Harbor Oklahoma City (formerly White Water Bay) features more than 25 acres of classic water park fun, including family raft rides, a lazy river, water slides, and a huge wave pool. You'll have to try them all.

Cool off at OKC's newest urban oasis, Scissortail Park! Frolic through the interactive splash pads or rent a paddleboat and hit the lake.
