If this past year hasn’t been so good when it comes to your finances and your budget is pretty tight at the moment, then the summer staples – travel, theme parks, resort stays – don’t sound viable at all, they just sound expensive! But what can you do? Summertime is precious, and you don’t want to waste it away sitting at home twiddling your thumbs. Well, don’t go burning through your savings just yet. Why not save some hard cash and take a staycation? Oklahoma is full of interesting sites, some of which you may not have even heard of, even if you have lived in the state your whole life. So, put on your cap and your sneakers, go outside, and start your staycation by visiting these wonderful places described below!
Frontier City and White Water Bay
Disney World is no longer the happiest place on Earth, but rather the most crowded place on Earth during the summer. Also, the cost of admittance into the Magic Kingdom has skyrocketed over the past few years. Why pay hundreds of dollars to swelter in the heat and spend the majority of the day waiting in lines? Instead, get the double park season pass for Frontier City/White Water Bay, save some money, avoid the crowds, and have a blast. The pass pays for itself in just two visits!
Celebration Station
If you’re really broke and even the Frontier City/White Water Bay pass costs too much for you, no problem. Passes for Celebration Station go for less than $20 and discount specials are going on all the time. And don’t be fooled by the cheap prices. There’s plenty to do – arcade games, batting cages, bumper boats, go-karts, miniature golf, and more.
Oklahoma Museum Network Affiliate Membership
For a low, low price of $40, you can get an Oklahoma Museum Network Affiliate Membership, which allows up to five free general admissions per visit to any of the OMN partner museums for a whole year from date of purchase. These museums include Science Museum Oklahoma, Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum, Tulsa Air & Space Museum, Leonardo’s Discovery Warehouse, and more! Just making the whole round should occupy you and your family for much of the summer.
Whether you’re out to get some thrills, relax in the sun, or discover something new, Oklahoma most certainly has something to offer you. Do you know any good Oklahoma staycation ideas? Share them with us on our Facebook page.
