Thanks to a citywide revitalization effort, downtown Oklahoma City now boasts the nation's premier minor league ballpark and a canal that flows beside choice restaurants, shops, a movie theater and quaint cafes in the historic Bricktown entertainment district. A fleet of water taxis also provide tours along the mile-long waterway. In the Downtown area, you'll also find the Myriad Botanical Gardens, the Oklahoma City National Memorial and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Catch a ride on the Oklahoma Spirit Trolley which runs through all of the popular downtown attractions in Bricktown and the surrounding area, such as the Cox Convention Center or The Ford Center, home to our new NBA franchise, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
