Moms do so much for us; it’s only right to celebrate her by doing something special on Mother’s Day. Whether you’re searching for where to have a Mother’s Day meal or a place to pamper mom, Oklahoma City (OKC) has plenty of great options for showing mom you care.

Take Mom Out for a Meal

If you asked most moms, spending time with their kids is their top priority on Mother’s Day, and sharing a meal is a great way to do so. OKC has many favorites that could work. Mom might even find a more intimate dining experience in the metro area, perfect for catching up with her children in a nice, quiet atmosphere.

However, if your mom is more traditional, perhaps you should plan a brunch. Some of the best spots in town for this hybrid meal are Classen Grill, with fresh-squeezed juices and breakfast favorites with a Mexican twist; the French-inspired La Baguette Bistro; and the modern Museum Cafe, housed within the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Explore the City with Mom

Your day with mom doesn’t have to end when your meal is over. You can continue spending time together by exploring some of Oklahoma City’s most famous attractions:

• Take mom on a water taxi ride on the Bricktown canal.
• Explore more than 119 acres of animal enclosures at the Oklahoma City Zoo.
• Be inspired by the art on display at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
• Experience the educational fun of the Science Museum Oklahoma.
• Check out the beautiful Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge.
• Stroll the Paseo Arts District and pop into one of the many galleries.

Let Mom Be Pampered

Flowers, candles, and even edible treats are very popular gifts; however, giving your mom the opportunity to be pampered might be an even better idea. This is something most moms never get enough of. You can treat your mom to a massage, hair styling session, or a restorative body treatment at one of these highly-rated OKC spas and salons.
