It's loud. It's big. It's Monster Jam, Friday and Saturday at the BOK.
As is typical after the holidays, Tulsans are easing into a busy calendar of events.
After all the go-go-go of last month, many of us are content to be home. But, that doesn't mean you can't find something to do. There's still plenty happening around town this week, including everything from the Monster Jam show at the BOK to a family friendly book club, complete with balloon animals.
Monday: Last day of WinterfestIt's the last day of Winterfest. That means it's your last chance – until next year – to skate on the 60-by-150-foot ice rink. If skating isn't your thing, take a carriage ride or drink hot cocoa and eat cookies.
When: Ice rink is open from noon to 10 p.m.
Where: Outside the BOK Center at Second Street and Denver Avenue
Cost: Free to enter. $8 to skate, which includes skate rental.
Tuesday: Teen book monthWant to develop a love of reading among your teenagers? The South Broken Arrow Library is having a fun event to pair teenagers with books to suit them. They say it's a chance to make a literary love connection. Teens who let the librarians know their likes and dislikes will be paired with a book. It's for ages 13 to 18.
When: Stop by anytime during the month of January. Tuesday's a good day to come, since school starts for many Tulsa and Broken Arrow kids on Wednesday.
