EXTRA BUZZ How to Spring Break without going broke By Kira Fell one located in Oklahoma City. Zoos equal a day of fun, in which have reasonable day rates, you can pack a picnic, and will keep children of all ages entertained. Check social media for addresses, rates, and hours. Jin and Ava Photo By Bryan Tapp Courtesy Tulsa Zoo TULSA, Okla. – Hello March, and double hello Spring Break! We have been looking forward to this week since we sent our angel babies back to school after Christmas. Okay, that is a lie, but the kids are excited. Now we must decide how to keep our monkeys busy while not breaking the bank or losing what little bit of sanity we have left. If your budget will allow, there are many camps during Spring Break to keep the kiddos busy and you still working. However, if you are like me and stay at home, or took the week off, we must keep them busy and not spend our entire monthly budget in one week. So, here are three different things to do for entertainment and without breaking the bank. Number one to do, which by far is my favorite - hit the zoos. There is a zoo located in Tulsa at Mohawk Park and Number two: a Route 66 road trip. When is the last time you got off the turnpike and went down the iconic Route 66? Pack a cooler of snacks and drinks, fill up the car and take a trip down the “Mother Road”. A good time for everyone to get unplugged and receive a history lesson. Number three on my list of to dos: hiking! Do you realize how lucky we are to live in the beautiful state of Oklahoma? Get out there and go to one of our many state parks and get exercise at the same time. To find a state park near you visit travelok.com I hope this small list will give you a few ideas to get out of the house and make this Spring Break the best yet.
