From Indigenous art to tropical plants to “dead people’s stuff,” these free or cheap attractions keep you entertained without breaking the bank. Here’s your local guide to top things to do in OKC.

Tragedy jolted the heartland when a domestic terrorist detonated a truck bomb outside the Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. This memorial is now the top attraction in OKC. Visit the grounds for free any time. The 168 chairs representing each victim light up at night. Our Downtown Tour talks about the symbolism behind the memorial’s design, story of the survivor tree, and resilience that defines our city to this day. The on-site museum is an emotional experience and highly recommended.
