Main Street
The Stockyards City Main Street has been carefully preserved over the decades to keep the western culture and history of this city intact. This Main Street is so well preserved that it feels like it's from a western movie set, and here you'll find plenty of western retail shops, vintage boutiques and even Native American arts and jewelry shops. If you need to find a unique souvenir from Oklahoma City, this is the place to do it.
Cattle Auctions
Stockyards City received its name because it's home to the Oklahoma National Stock Yards, one of the largest feeder and cattle markets in the entire world. Every Monday, the public can attend live cattle auctions, and I simply couldn't pass up the chance to go to a live cattle auction during my trip. After all, where else would I have the chance to do something like this? That's just one of the many beauties of Stockyards City-- you'll see and experience things you can't find anywhere else in the country.
Steakhouses
Stockyards City is probably not the best place for your vegan friends and family members, because--as you might be able to tell from the name of the neighborhood--this is an area that loves its steak. There are so many great steakhouses and restaurants in this neighborhood that serve up fresh steak, and here you'll find some of the best steak in the country. So if you have a craving for some red meat, save your appetite before visiting Stockyards City.
