Norman's Best Kept Secrets

Venture off the beaten path and discover the hidden gems that make Norman a truly special place.

While the University of Oklahoma and Lake Thunderbird are major draws, Norman is full of hidden treasures. As locals, we've compiled a list of our favorite spots that you won't find in the typical tourist guides.

Campus Corner

Just across from the OU campus, this historic district is packed with unique boutiques, art galleries, and delicious eateries. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon shopping and soaking up the local atmosphere.

The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art

Home to an impressive collection of French Impressionism, Native American art, and more, this museum is a must-visit for art lovers. Best of all, admission is always free!

Lake Thunderbird's Calypso Cove Marina

For a different side of the lake, check out Calypso Cove Marina. It has a more relaxed, local vibe. Rent a pontoon boat for a leisurely afternoon on the water, or enjoy a picnic on the shore.

Gray Owl Coffee

Need a caffeine fix? Skip the chains and head to Gray Owl Coffee. This quirky, independent coffee shop is a local favorite, known for its excellent coffee and cozy atmosphere.
