Bricktown Canal Holiday Lights & Water Taxi Cruises

About this adventure

The Bricktown Canal Holiday Lights offer one of Oklahoma City's most iconic holiday evening spectacles. Spanning the entire one-mile canal corridor through the historic warehouse district, tens of thousands of shimmering LED lights drape the bridges, canopies, and historic brick facades. Families can bundle up for a scenic stroll along the canal level, admiring illuminated floating displays and historic murals, or step aboard the narrated Bricktown Water Taxi for a cozy boat tour along the waterway. On select Downtown in December evenings, free community water taxi rides are offered to families, complete with festive caroling and holiday storytelling by enthusiastic boat captains. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Elevator towers and concrete rampways connect street level to the canal boardwalks; strollers can easily navigate along the canal walkways. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Family restrooms and baby changing facilities are available inside the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark concourse and nearby restaurants. • Age Suitability: All ages; the water taxi ride is safe and calm with mandatory safety gear for infants and young children. • Sensory Tips: Gentle colorful lights reflect off the quiet water; canal strolls are relatively peaceful during early weekday twilights compared to bustling weekend nights.
