At MetroFamily, we promise to always help carry the challenges and joys of parenting and grandparenting: we will cheer you on through the brightest days, we will support you through the darkest nights and we will give you inspiration for creativity and adventure for in-between times. Our deepest desire is to support family relationships -- to help families grow and thrive. We believe that the Okla

homa City metro area is a great place to raise a family. We believe that parents have the need to take care of themselves and their supportive relationships in order to be the best parents they can be. We believe that families having fun together helps strengthen family bonds and provides a strong foundation for getting through the hard times. We believe that one way to grow as a person is to be inspired by stories of triumph over tragedy and of the strength of human character.

Our Story

The staff of MetroFamily Magazine loves hearing our readers' comments, many that sound like this: "Our world of fun would be motionless without you." We love bringing the best in family fun around the OKC/Central Oklahoma area via our extensive in print and online calendars and our Local Family Fun and Exploring Oklahoma with Children columns. We offer an award-winning magazine to over 98,000 Central Oklahoma readers each month as well as a popular website (over 95,000 monthly visitors) that is full of handy resources and informative blogs; e-newsletters about the top things to do with your family (Top Picks on Tuesdays and Weekend Picks on Thursdays); and a vibrant social media following on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also have a live event for families each year, Kids Fest, that connects thousands of local families to the services and businesses they need to know in a dynamic, engaging way. The upcoming Kids Fest event will be held April 6, 2019 at the Cox Convention Center in downtown OKC.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES MetroFamily's social media pages and groups are intended to unify, inspire and spark conversation and ideas. Any deterrent from this goal will be handled in the level of severity necessary. Here are our guidelines for making sure MetroFamily's social conversations are friendly and enriching to all:


  • Discriminatory language or hate speech will be immediately removed without discussion or exception.

  • Posts containing foul language or sexual innuendos will be immediately removed, as there are children who may be reading content from MetroFamily's social media pages.
