If you live in the tranquil Seminole area and are looking for family-friendly activities to change your routine, this post is for you. We want you to see that Seminole is the perfect place for outdoor and indoor activities. You may already know that any of the area’s beautiful parks are great places to do fun things and spend quality time with your loved ones.

However, you don’t need to let the absence of numerous other entertainment venues limit your options when you want to have a wonderful time with your family. This post introduces you to six fun local places to go with all your household members. We hope you find it helpful. Enjoy.

Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum

A family trip to the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum is one of the best ways to enjoy a pleasant and different type of day. Don’t let the museum’s name fool you. Even though kids are the primary target, adults of all ages are welcome, and there are fun activities for the entire family.

The museum has everything from brain quizzes and innovative attractions to a massive outdoor playing field. There is even an imaginary town where you can expose your kids to self-discovery. There’s a whole section dedicated to healthcare careers where kids are encouraged to become whatever they want in the field — whether a nurse, doctor, or hospitalist. In fact, the museum promotes over 300 career options, and kids can even experience what it feels like to take care of a baby in an incubator or ride a real ambulance in case of an emergency.

Tickets cost $8 for adults and $7 for kids, though adults over 70 years old pay the same fees as kids.

Oklahoma Oil Museum

The Oklahoma Oil Museum made it to this list because Seminole has a rich history. The fun and catchy activities this museum offers are some of the best ways to help your children learn about it. Like the Children’s Museum, you can find both outdoor and indoor activities.

A diorama display in the main room explains how Seminole became a boom town in the 1920s and onwards. In short, a family visit to this museum will enlighten all of you about Seminole’s role in Oklahoma’s development. And to help you get the most from your visit, they offer a guide that will make navigating the entire venue easy.

Sportsman Lake

Going to Sportsman Lake may be what you’re looking for if you’re after something more daring and adventurous. This location is ideal for fishing, camping, boating, RVing, and horseback riding. If your family agrees to go, then it’s better if you spend the whole weekend there. That way, you can try all the things it has to offer.

Ticket prices are affordable, and every activity has a different price point. For example, the basic fee (for walking and exploring) is $8, boating is $5 per day, and the equestrian trail is $3 daily. Before going, please check Sportsman Lake’s website to stay updated with everything happening there.

Note that drinking alcoholic beverages, littering, fireworks, swimming after dark, jet skiing, and firearms are prohibited.

Strothers Twin Cinema

Recently renovated, The Strothers Twin Cinema is a good option if you are looking for a pleasant and warm family environment where you can enjoy a good movie. One thing that makes this theater so special is its meaning to the Seminole community.

As you may know, we live in a small town, and this is one of our few entertainment venues. The theater is clean and plays current movies. Regarding prices, anyone should be able to afford a ticket. Adults pay $7, children 12 years old and younger pay $6, children 3 years old and under get in for free, seniors over 65 years old pay $6, and active-duty military personnel pay $6.

Snowman Wonderland

Snowman Wonderland has one of Oklahoma’s best light displays. Many Seminole residents make a yearly tradition of viewing this display every December — it’s an event we never want to miss. We recommend you mark your calendar because this is a beautiful way to spend a night with your loved ones.

We don’t know the itinerary for next December at the time of this writing. Still, there were several attractions last year, including:

  • Riding the trolley
  • Renting a golf cart
  • Proposals with “Would You Marry Me?” lights and a horse and carriage ride
  • Several activities at Reynold’s Wellness Center
  • Luminaries on the lake
  • Christmas recitals
  • Santa Claus meetups
  • The fireworks finale

Don’t forget to check their social media accounts or website frequently to see whether they’re offering new activities this year or sticking with the ones mentioned above.

Boom Town Park

One of Seminole’s hidden gems, Boom Town Park is a jungle gym built to provide fun for children and their parents. The playground equipment accommodates kids and adults, so you can play along with your children and even challenge them to races.

Don’t forget to pack snacks, drinks, and even meals if you plan to spend the day there. We’re sure you and your family are going to love it.
