Do you have a toddler in your household this summer? Raises hand…I do! And after 3 summers in OKC with toddlers I thought it would be fun to put together a list of some of our favorite fun activities for toddlers in OKC.

As a mom I’m always on the lookout for new things to do and as an OKC family photographer I also love providing resources for families and my clients.

The Oklahoma City area offers so many amazing opportunities and I love hearing about new things to do. If I am missing something on this list please drop it in the comments below!
