Things to Do this Week in OKC (1/27/26 – 2/2/26)

Whether you’re new to Oklahoma City or just starting to explore everything the metro has to offer, this week is a great time to get out and experience OKC like a local. From NBA action and nationally touring comedy acts to immersive museum exhibits and family-friendly library events, there’s no shortage of ways to fill your calendar. Here’s a look at some of the highlights happening around Oklahoma City this week — and why they’re worth checking out.

• Live Comedy: Jeff Dunham; Paycom (Jan. 29 – 7 p.m.)
  • Looking for laughs? Comedy legend and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is in town with his Artificial Intelligence Tour. With beloved characters like Walter, Peanut, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist, this show is perfect for a night out with friends or date night — and a great way to enjoy big-name entertainment right here in OKC.
• The Cowboy: An Immersive Journey; National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum (Now through May 30)
  • This immersive experience brings the American West to life with 360° projections, soundscapes, and historic imagery — it’s a truly unique way to connect with Western culture without leaving town. It’s perfect for history lovers, art fans, or anyone who wants to dive into a next-level museum exhibit.
• Readerpalooza: A Book Fair for Adults & Teen: Metropolitan Library System — Northwest Library
  • If you love reading (or want to get into it), Readerpalooza is a fun, low-key event where adults and teens can browse books, connect with fellow readers, and reminisce about school book fairs — but with grown-up perks. Whether you’re here for Winter Reading Bingo or just browsing new titles, it’s a great indoor activity for cooler evenings.
• Small Wonders: Insects in Focus; Ronald Norick Downtown Library (Kickoff Party Jan. 31)
  • This exhibit celebrates the incredible beauty of insects through macro photography by Tulsa artist Bob Sober — and it’s both educational and visually striking. Families especially will love the January 31 bug party featuring a live insect petting zoo, crafts, and more. It’s a creative way to spend a weekend afternoon with kids or curious adults who appreciate art and nature.
