There’s much to do in November and December in Cleveland County and the OKC metro area that the problem may be not finding any fun activities but rather deciding which to choose. We selected four very different events to spotlight here, from fall foliage drives that you can fit into your own schedule to a Polar Express Train Ride that’s sure to appeal to families with young children.

Fall Foliage Drive
The changing of the seasons ushers in new opportunities for rest and recreation when fall colors decorate the landscape. Enjoy a scenic drive through one of the state's prime foliage areas with the windows down or hike through an outdoor recreational area, watching as the autumn leaves seem to change colors before your eyes.
