Edmond is technically a suburb of Oklahoma City, but it has a charming character all its own. Visitors will find no shortage of delicious restaurants, boutique shops, and plenty of things to do. The beautiful Arcadia Lake is the biggest natural attraction, particularly in the warmer months, but if you'd rather stay inside, you can go bowling or catch a movie at the Showbiz Cinema. The city also has a wonderful art scene, and several places offer the opportunity to create your own masterpiece, including the family-friendly Unpluggits Playstudio and the DIY-oriented AR Workshop.
