If you were a trip advisor for where you live, what would you highlight as the best attractions in your area?

This would be easier for me if I still lived in Florida. I'm not a big fan of Oklahoma, so I'm probably a terrible guide here. But this is what I'd say:

In Oklahoma, I'd say there are some good "hole in the wall" restaurants. My favorite is the Japanese restaurant, Tokyo.

The OKC Civic Center sometimes has decent shows and some aren't that expensive. (I've found some great Groupons for some shows).

We have a racetrack/casino. I don't care for gambling, but I sometimes like to watch the horses run. There is also the Riverwind casino, which gets a lot of big name performers traveling through. So does Chesapeake Energy Arena.

As a small, inexpensive thing to do, there is a comedy club near me.

There are some interesting Escape Games in the area for a group thing.

Also, Top Golf is fun for just hanging out and smashing balls with a golf club. You try to hit the targets.

Lake Hefner is OK to walk around. I'm having trouble finding a lot of beautiful places to walk around in Oklahoma. The botanical gardens here are ... ok, if you're bored. Pretty sparse for the $7-8 bucks you have to pay to get in. I'm spoiled by the one I used to go to in Orlando, I guess.

Of course, the Downtown areas have bars. Horse and carriage rides. Little boat rides in the canal. I haven't done much there. It's not my scene.

How about where you live?

Dayton is OK. There are several parks nearby for hiking near Yellow Springs, a very libral college town the home of Antioch University and very good PBS station <a href="http://wyso.org/#stream/0." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="forumlink">[wyso.org]. John Byron State Park has a really cool gorge to hike [yelp.com] Glenn Helen is very nice too. [glenhelen.org] I live near Wegerzyn Gardens in Dayton [yelp.com] is adjacent to 26 miles of bike paths that go all the way into the City. Lots of bars and micro brews in town. Usually go to the Oregon District. [tripadvisor.com]. Also horseback stables at Carraige Hill Park [metroparks.org].

Love playing tour guide. Offered a couple of members who are coming to Boston my services. NH is a big tourist state. Many tourist sites in the White Mountains. My favorites are the Flume (mtn you climb with waterfalls and magnificent rock formations,), Clark's Trading Post (black Bears, show, rides, watch bears), Lost River (caves you climb through), and Mt. Washington (drive a scary road to the highest pt in NE, ride in a van, take the old Cog Railway) Summit. Lots of Mtns in White Mtn Natnl Forest, Androscoggin River, Saco River (tube/canoe in summer with hundreds of people) and Swift River for swimming and spotting wildlife like moose, bear, deer on Kancamagus Highway-road through mountains. Love northern NH.

never did it-love sled dogs.

Got to most of them when I was younger, lots of pleasant memories. Had a cottage on Winnipesaukee in the 1970's, until it got too crowded, central Maine after that.

I live in Michigan close to Detroit. If you go just a mile down the road, there are dozens of weed dispensaries and I feel like a tourist going down there. Those are the kinds of attractions I would recommend to anyone.

Practically anywhere here in Cornwall . It's a beautiful county . This is Portreath ... Literally 5 minutes from me

What OKC needs is a place where people can hang out, get high, and play dominos. This place should also have a nacho bar. Make it so number 1.

I live in OK as well so definitely agree about the restaurants, that's all it seems to have going for it. Otherwise it's a buy-bull belt shithole. I'm sure there are a few other things to do but I don't go out much.

My son he was impressed by the OKC Bombing memorial.

@Akfishlady I think he was 17. No, 16. Just the fact that he felt emotional about it made me want to go.
