Live Life in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City offers a refreshing mix of modern amenities, cultural attractions, and outdoor spaces that make healthy, connected living accessible and enjoyable for older adults. From tranquil gardens to enriching art museums and community cooking classes, OKC creates plenty of opportunities to stay active, inspired, and social—at a pace that fits your lifestyle.

Begin your day at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in downtown OKC. This 17-acre urban oasis features paved walking paths, shaded seating, and a beautifully designed conservatory that’s fully ADA-accessible. Older adults can enjoy seasonal walking tours, tai chi classes, or simply relax among the gardens and waterfalls. For more outdoor enjoyment, visit Scissortail Park—just across the street. It offers wide-open green space, a scenic lake, and walking trails that connect to the Oklahoma River Trail, ideal for low-impact exercise and scenic strolls.

If you enjoy learning and socializing, the Will Rogers Senior Center offers fitness classes, dance nights, card games, and craft workshops—all geared specifically toward the 55+ community. Over in north OKC, the Francis Tuttle Technology Center hosts cooking and enrichment classes for adults, including healthy eating seminars and small-group culinary lessons with flexible seating and instruction designed for all experience levels.

Cultural outings abound as well. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art offers senior admission rates, guided tours, and quiet gallery spaces featuring everything from glass sculpture to modern painting. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum is fully accessible and features tranquil indoor courtyards, historic collections, and senior-focused events like Western movie matinees and lecture series.

Looking to enjoy fresh air and wildlife? Lake Hefner Trails offer a flat, scenic walking and biking path around the lake, with access to picnic areas and birdwatching spots. For something even calmer, the Martin Park Nature Center offers nature exhibits and short, level trails that are perfect for leisurely walks or peaceful reflection in a wooded setting.

Whether you're learning a new recipe, taking a lakeside stroll, or discovering a new artist, Oklahoma City invites older adults to live fully—with comfort, creativity, and community at every step.
