Summer vacation is a much anticipated time of the year! But, it also marks the end of school and many after school activities for our kids. As kids count down the days to their summer hiatus, say goodbye to classmate and teammates with a bang at an end-of-the-year party! Whether you need to entertain a class full or a few soccer buddies, here are MetroFamily’s favorite places to have an end-of-the-year party in Oklahoma City:
(Editors note: If you’re planning a party in the Oklahoma City metro, be sure to check out our guide to local venues, party services and more!)
- Take your group ice skating at Arctic Edge Ice Arena or Blazers Ice Centre. Both rinks offer party reservations and group discounts.
