Are you spending some time in Moore, Oklahoma and are looking for some fun things to do while you're here? Well, this is a list of just a few entertaining and exciting things to do in Moore, Oklahoma.

The Moore Warren Movie Theatre

Residents throughout the Oklahoma City metro area, and even the state for that matter, make the trip to Moore for the Warren Movie Theatre experience, and I say it's easily the best in OKC, particularly the balcony seating option. Have an adult beverage or a full meal served to your individual, oversized seat as you enjoy a movie in luxury.

Orr Family Farm

Located just to the southwest of the Moore city limits, Orr Family Farm is one of the top places for kids in all of OKC. Kids and families can go fishing, ride the train, pet the animals, ride the carousel, play on the playground, sample the jams and jellies, ride the pedal carts on the Orr Grand Prix and much more. It's great for parties and special occasions as well.

Lake Stanley Draper

Located just east of the Moore city limits, Lake Stanley Draper covers about 2,900 acres and has an average depth of 34 feet. It offers many fishing piers, a marina, picnic areas, camping areas, recreational areas, ATV tracks and large, open water for skiing.

Golf Courses

Of the many OKC golf courses, the Moore area is home to a few excellent ones. Private ones include the Moore Golf & Athletic Club and Lakeside, but Broadmoore has a good reputation among the public courses. It's an 18-hole course that is very reasonably-priced.

Yellow Rose Theater

The Yellow Rose Theater has to make the list of one of the top things to do in Moore, OK as it's the state's only full-time, professional dinner theater. The "Whodunit" murder mystery dinners are a lot of fun, and there is a nice variety of entertaining performances. They're even willing to customize dinners for special occasions.

Buck Thomas Park

Of the many Moore-area city parks, Buck Thomas is the largest and has the most to offer. It features, just to name a few things, a skate park, athletic fields, a walking trail, picnic areas, pavilions, playgrounds and more.

KidsPlay Moore

And here's another one for the kids. If Buck Thomas Park above doesn't have a playground to impress them, try this. Located at Fairmoore Park and completed in late spring of 2000, KidsPlay Moore is an 11,000 square-foot playground built by volunteers and actually designed by children.
