Got summer vacation on your mind?
You’re not alone. Once the temps hit the 80s and the lakes start calling, Tulsa locals know—it’s time to relax, explore, and maybe even escape for a bit. Whether you’re planning a staycation or booking a long-awaited getaway, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy summer in Tulsa and the surrounding communities.
But before you start stuffing your suitcase or mapping out your next adventure, check out these helpful tips to make your summer even better, plus how Fox Cleaners can take a few chores off your plate so you can fully enjoy the season.
Explore the Best of Tulsa This Summer
You don’t have to go far to have a great summer. Tulsa offers plenty of sunshine-filled ways to enjoy your time off:
- Catch a concert at the BOK Center or Cain’s Ballroom. From indie acts to big names, summer lineups never disappoint.
- Take a stroll along the Gathering Place. Pack a picnic and enjoy riverside views, splash zones, and live events.
- Plan a lake day at Keystone or Grand Lake. Remember sunscreen and a dry bag for wet swimsuits!
- Check out Route 66 sights. Grab a burger, find a roadside oddity, and take some selfies for the memories.
- Cool off at a local museum or aquarium. It’s a great way to beat the heat while learning something new.
Travel Wisely with These Hotel + Packing Tips
Whether you’re hitting the beach, the mountains, or just a cozy cabin for the weekend, these travel tips will help make your stay a breeze:
- Roll your clothes, don’t fold. Save space and reduce wrinkles.
- Use the shower steam trick. Hang wrinkled clothes in the bathroom while you shower. They’ll straighten out in no time.
- Slip socks into shoes. Maximize space and help your shoes hold their shape.
- Bring a dryer sheet or two. Your suitcase (and your clothes) will thank you.
- Pack a trash bag. It makes separating dirty laundry so much easier and helps avoid mixing clean and worn clothes.
