Step into an 1880s Western town at Frontier City, a unique themed amusement park located along Interstate 35 in Oklahoma City. Originally opened in 1958 following Oklahoma's semi-centennial celebration, this historic park invites you to experience a fun slice of wild west heritage. As you explore its four square blocks of themed streets, you will find authentic town setups featuring a Marshall’s office, bank, saloon, post office, hotel, and traditional storefronts.
Beyond its historic streetscapes, you can enjoy a full spectrum of rides and entertainment. Thrill-seekers can brave coasters like the suspended Steel Lasso or the classic Wildcat, along with spinning rides such as Brain Drain, Winged Warrior, and the 60-foot-tall Gunslinger. If you visit during the summer months, you can cool off at the Wild West Water Works, featuring water gadgets and high-thrill slides like the Gully Washer, or catch live summer concerts at the Starlight Amphitheater.
Classic western entertainment lives on through live-staged gunfights and saloon shows. Owned by EPR and operated by Six Flags, Frontier City offers an engaging mix of nostalgia, water fun, seasonal events like Fright Fest, and family rides for your Oklahoma adventure.
