Moore oozes small-town vibes
If you want to saddle up for the cowboy coasters of Frontier City or chug on locomotives through the Oklahoma Railway Museum without having to bed down in the heart of bustling Oklahoma City, then small-town Moore could just be the perfect choice for you. Straddling I-35 just to the south OKC central, it's a welcoming spot of weekly farmers' markets and food truck dining, of homey craft festivals and leafy parks, not to mention multi-bedroom Moore vacation rentals with pools and big gardens _ perfect for the whole family.
The OKC has you covered in Moore
It's less than 20 minutes in the car from the driveways of most Moore vacation rentals to the heart of Midtown Oklahoma City. The state capital certainly doesn't disappoint on the attraction front either. You can learn about bluegrass beats and dustbowl strummers in the American Banjo Museum. You can unravel heroic stories of Indian tribes in the Oklahoma History Center. You can pay your respects at the Oklahoma City National Memorial. You can face up to elephants in the zoo, or encounter a menagerie of atomic wonders in the Science Museum of Oklahoma.
Moore sits by the wild Oklahoma plains
Moore sits clutching the southern edge of the urban conglomeration than is big Oklahoma City. It's largely flat and rolling, with fields of agriculture and suburban pockets surrounding it to the south. Within the town's boundaries are a couple of pretty parks, like the Buck Thomas Park, with its manicured lawns and children's playgrounds. For a taste of something wilder, to pitch the tent, or get on the kayak, you should head east to Lake Thunderbird, which has creeks and inlets spreading through the plains, and a prime place for birders that's right on the bald eagle migration corridor.
