Question: how can i entertain my mom in tulsa

what can we do in tulsa on tuesday? or how to entertain two teenagers, two 40 year olds, and my grandmother on very short notice.

my mother, stepfather, stepbrother, nephew, and possibly grandmother are coming into town for one day. i just moved here (owasso, really). we don't have a couch, so we'll probably be going out to do something. but what? the ages range from 15-65. we haven't seen each other in 5 or 6 years, so somewhere we can visit (no movies or shows) that won't kick us out after our meal is over.

any ideas?

The Philbrook Museum is a must see. It is one of my favorite art museums. The Oklahoma Aquarium is a great place to take the kids. The Ocean Room is an enormous tank that surrounds you on all sides and overhead. Hideaway Pizza is the local favorite pizza in Tulsa. They have three locations and the marinated mushroom caps are great. I also recommend Mary's Trattoria. I love the food there and they have a delicious grasshopper pie. If you don't mind going a little outside of Tulsa, Woolaroc will keep everyone entertained for hours.

McNellie's Pub. The food is good (definitely ask about the dessert special for the day) and there's booze if you're so inclined. I've sat there for a few hours after I've finished food and never been asked to leave, although I was (slowly) drinking beer. Hideaway is also a good bet. You might also check out Utica Square for a coffee shop or the like.

Winterfest is going on downtown every night - lots of fun.
