These markers tell the story of more than 10,000 years of indigenous history, including acknowledgement of the people who lived in Oklahoma for hundreds of generations, plus the tribal nations (often forcibly) relocated to Indian Territory and the Oklahoma Territory in the 1800s. This plaza and its markers also acknowledge Oklahoma's modern First American nations and their critical roles in our state's leadership, culture and economy.

Great experience
Great views and history. Great guide
via Tripadvisor
Simple, easygoing fun!
Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the tour! It's a simple experience, but an easy one. It was a nice break in the day from walking, etc. Our guide was pretty funny and tried to get to know each group on the boat. Definitely recommend.

Average
I learned some history. Good tour guide. The canal is nice.
via Tripadvisor
Summer in OKC
While the 40 minute boat tour was awesome, I don’t recommend doing it in 104 degree weather. And if you do, BRING COLD WATER. I wished the boats provided water to their customers.

Water Taxi Tour
With the right tour guide, this might have been a great tour, but I couldn't hear the tour guide and I asked her to speak up. She needs to brush up on the OKC history because she really didn't speak to the "history" well. Because it was a hot day, being on the water was refreshing, but to pay for a tour, and not to hear any history, was disappointing.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oklahoma City.
How much does Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oklahoma City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oklahoma City is not rushed.
Is Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oklahoma City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oklahoma City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oklahoma City and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oklahoma City Bricktown Canal Narrated Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oklahoma City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oklahoma City?
+
Oklahoma City, OK packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Oklahoma City by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Oklahoma City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include OKC's Comedy Magic Show: Jonathan's Magic Theater, Guided Streetcar Hop On/Off Tour, Bike Art and Architecture Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oklahoma City?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Oklahoma City, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oklahoma City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
