In the heart of downtown OKC, you will find everything from our bustling business district to Bricktown’s eclectic nightlife and the scenic Myriad Botanical Gardens. But there is more to downtown OKC than meets the eye. Underneath our busy streets is a hidden network of tunnels called the Underground.

Constructed in 1974, the original “Conncourse” was designed and named after Oklahoma Hall of Famer, Jack Conn. In 2006, the tunnels underwent a $2 million dollar renovation designed by Oklahoman architect Rand Elliott, which included all new carpets, lighting, paint, and maps. The Underground offers quick conveniences for the working Oklahoman like coffee shops, hair salons, and a post office.

The tunnels also offer indoor routes to a variety of parking garages which is useful during inclement Oklahoma weather. Recent updates, like neon lighting and local art installations, have enhanced the atmosphere of the tunnels. The Underground is open Monday-Friday, 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
