De ruinas industriales olvidadas a la fiesta más loca de Oklahoma: ¿sabías que un atentado lo salvó todo?
As a city district, the streets and canal walk are open 24 hours a day, every day, although restaurants and shops usually operate between 11:00 AM and midnight. It is located just east of downtown, and you can easily get there by car or by using the OKC Streetcar, which has direct stops in the area.
Access to walk through the district and enjoy the canal atmosphere is completely free. You only need to pay for specific attractions such as the boat ride, museums, or parking, unless you find parking on the surrounding streets.
For a full experience that includes a walk along the canal, a meal, and exploring the main streets, we recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. If you plan to visit additional attractions such as the baseball stadium, you could easily spend the whole afternoon and evening.
Bricktown was Oklahoma City's first commercial warehouse district in the early 20th century, and today it represents one of the most successful urban renewal projects in the country. Walking here lets you see how the old industrial area was transformed into the city's cultural and entertainment heart.
Late afternoon and evening are the best times, when the lights reflect on the canal and the restaurants come alive with music and a festive atmosphere. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather for walking, especially if your visit coincides with a Dodgers game at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Yes, the district is very accessible; it has ramps and elevators strategically located to reach canal level from the main street. In addition, the famous Bricktown Water Taxi service allows wheelchair access on most of its boats.
You are just a short walk from the beautiful Myriad Botanical Gardens and Paycom Center, home of the NBA team Oklahoma City Thunder. You can also visit the American Banjo Museum, which is located within the district itself.
We strongly recommend taking the water taxi, since the drivers tell fascinating stories and the ticket is usually valid all day. To enrich your visit even more with fun facts at your own pace, do not forget to check whether content is available on IAudioguia.com before you go.
