Tulsa Is Home

🎰✨ Tulsa’s Ultimate Claw Machine Arcade! ✨🎰

If you’re looking for the perfect way to beat the summer heat and level up your family fun day, you have to check out Magical Claws on South Memorial! 🙌🏼

I took my boys here, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! From the second you walk in, the neon lights and rows of claw machines loaded with plushies had my kiddos hyped. 🧸✨

🎒 Pro-Tip for Parents: When you buy your token packages, grab one of their cool bags at the front! It is an absolute lifesaver for the boys to carry their token baskets around—and, more importantly, to haul home without dropping them everywhere or me lugging them around.

The Lowdown on the Fun:
• Each machines takes one tokens per play, making it super easy to try your luck again and again. There are a few machines that require a few more but for the most part it’s one. If you buy a larger token package ($60+), you get a guaranteed “Magical Coin” to redeem a free 8” plushie of your choice with an employee’s help. No tears, all wins! 🎉 
• The Vibe: friendly staff, incredibly clean, and honestly just as fun for adults as it is for the kids. (Yes, I definitely tried my hand at a few machines too!)

📍 Find them at: 8922 S Memorial Dr, Suite G
⏰ Hours:
• Sunday – Thursday: 12:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Beat the Heat at Paradise Beach! ☀️🏖️💦

Today was a hot one, and if you’re looking for a way to stay cool and celebrate Dad this weekend, you have to check out Paradise Beach Waterpark! ☀️ We spent the day soaking up the sun and playing until our kiddos couldn’t run anymore. It was a great day and felt like the perfect summer escape right here in town.

From catching waves in the massive wave pool to racing down the waterslides and completely chilling out on the Lazy River, there is definitely something for everyone. If you have little ones, their dedicated splash and play structures are an absolute lifesaver for keeping the kids entertained and cool all afternoon.

💦 If you plan on making a splash more than once this summer, you have to look into their Season Passes! Right now, you can lock in daily access for the entire summer season for less than $2.00 a day. They have two great options depending on your crew:

• The Paradise Pass: Perfect for anyone over 4ft tall who wants unlimited daily summer fun.
• The Jr. Paradise Pass: Designed specifically for the under-4ft crowd so the littles don’t miss out on the action!

I would highly suggest renting a cabana for a private, shaded home base to store your gear and grab a burger between slides, especially if you plan on staying the whole day.

So glad we finally got to check this place out! 🙌

😅When the week is hectic and you just need a quick, no-fuss escape with your husband, may I suggest sneaking away to historic Route 66? We did just this and finally tried out Red Light Chicken located on 11th Street—and wow, it did not disappoint! 🚗💨

I would describe it as the ultimate “no-frills, all the flavor” neighborhood spot. The energy is lively, completely unfussy, and full of that classic Mother Road charm. With plenty of easy parking right behind the building, it’s tailor-made for a spontaneous, “let’s grab a bite just the two of us” kind of evening. No reservations are required—just pure, relaxed comfort.

🍗 They served us some of the best crispy, golden-brown fried chicken I’ve had in a while. You can get their bone-in fried chicken and massive tenders regular or with some serious spicy heat! Either way, you can’t skip the Southern comfort sides. The mac & cheese and the green beans with bacon are savory perfection, and the warm honey butter rolls are delicious.

It’s fast, casual, incredibly satisfying, and the perfect reminder that date night doesn’t have to be complicated to be perfect. ✨

📍 Find them at 1401 E 11th St (Suite D) right in the heart of Route 66.
