Moving to Midwest City—Central Oklahoma

For starters, it gets hot and humid in the summer in Oklahoma. But you can counter those hot, humid summers by cooling off with a trip to Reno Swim and Slide, a new million-dollar water park right in Midwest City. If sports are what you’re into, visit the Carl Hubbell Museum for a history lesson on the famous New York Giants left-handed pitcher. Or even better, go see a live game at the Bricktown Ballpark in Downtown Oklahoma City, just a few minutes away off Interstate-40.

Another favorite spot is the Oklahoma City Zoo, one of the top zoos in the country for families.

Carriage rides take you through the park for a full view of the colorful lights.
