"Elvis Lives!" in this show at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center.

The weather is playing tricks on us. We're supposed to be in the doldrums of the dead of winter, but instead we've been at the park, working in the garden and even having coffee on the patio.

So, there's no excuse to hibernate. Get out and enjoy all the fun going on in and around Tulsa this week.

Monday: $1 day at the Tulsa Zoo
Every Monday through the end of February, admission to the zoo is $1. That's a big discount, as regular adult admission is $8. Even in the winter, there's plenty to see at the zoo, including the giraffes, monkeys and penguins. Indoor exhibits include the rainforest and Arctic Tundra.
When: 9 am. To 5 p.m.
Where: Tulsa Zoo, 6421 E. 36th St. North
Cost: $1

Tuesday: Elvis tribute
Elvis fans, check out this live show, "Elvis Lives! The Ultimate Tribute Artists Tour," at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. It's a full production, with a live band, dancers and back-up singers.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Where: Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, 701 S. Main St.
Cost: $30 to $60

Wednesday: Pop-Up Shops' grand reopening
The pop-up shops in the downtown Deco District aren't going anywhere. The shops, which were set up temporarily for holiday shopping, have been so popular that half of them will stick around. Those shops include Indie Emporium, Bison and Bear, Hood Design, Earthly Delights and Candy Castle.
When: Hours will be 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with the grand reopening on Wednesday
Where: First floor of the Philcade Building, 511 S. Boston Ave.

Thursday: Boat show
The Tulsa Boat Sport and Travel Show starts Monday evening with a preview night, but there are plenty of opportunities to check out this popular show, which runs through Sunday. Of course, the big draw is a chance to look at and climb into boats, including everything from small fishing boats to luxury yachts. Beyond boats, the show includes cooking demos and exhibits. On Friday and Saturday, meet two of the personalities from the History Channel show "Swamp People." For more, go to tulsaworld.com/boatshow
When: Show runs Monday through Sunday
Where: QuikTrip Center at Expo Square, 21st Street and Yale Avenue
Cost: Tickets are $10 Tuesday through Sunday. Monday preview night tickets are $20.

Friday: Dance at the Depot
It's Dance at the Depot, a fun night out of music and dancing at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. The setting is a classic 1950s dance hall style, complete with a wooden dance floor to show off your best moves. The music can't be beat, with vocals from Cindy Cain, Rebecca Ungerman and Pam Van Dyke Crosby and a four-piece band. Swing, waltz, rhumba or two-step all night long.
When: Doors open at 7 p.m. Dance begins at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Jazz Depot, 111 E. First St.
Cost: $10

Saturday: Big Freeze Run/Walk
Here's a cure for cabin fever: Get out and run. The Big Freeze 5k Run/Walk is the antidote to winter. Organizers say the idea is to gather as many people who are crazy enough to get out in the cold to run or walk around 3.2 miles of LaFortune Park.
When: Registration at 7 a.m. 5k begins at 8 a.m. and fun run/walk begins at 8:30 a.m.
Where: LaFortune Park, 5501 S. Yale Ave.
Cost: Registration is $25 for adults and $5 for kids age 12 and younger.
