Welcome to Okana Resort & Indoor Waterpark, a brand-new resort and waterpark destination in Oklahoma City that’s redefining family vacations and adult escapes alike. Opened on February 21, 2025, this impressive $400 million development by the Chickasaw Nation combines luxury lodging, thrilling waterslides, boutique dining, and cultural touches—all in the heart of the new Horizons District. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a date night, or a corporate retreat, Okana delivers an unforgettable vacation experience just north of Dallas–and with year-round fun regardless of the weather

Strategically positioned next to the First Americans Museum in the Horizons District, Okana Resort stands as a beacon of entertainment in Oklahoma City. With 404 guest rooms and suites overlooking the Oklahoma River, adventure lagoon, or urban skyline, it melds natural beauty with thoughtful architecture. The resort’s native-inspired décor honors Chickasaw culture and supports local heritage, offering guests cultural immersion alongside modern luxury. It’s a resort that not only entertains—it tells a story.

Okana isn’t just big—it’s personal. Choose from 10 distinct room and suite types ranging from 420 to 720 sq ft: family-friendly bunk suites, romantic junior king suites, multi-room retreats, and river-view accommodations. Each suite includes plush furnishings, 65″ UHD TVs, and design elements inspired by First American artistry. Whether you're traveling with kids or jetting in solo, you’ll find a space tailored to your comfort.

At the heart of the resort is a 100,000‑square‑foot indoor waterpark, the largest in the region. Open all year at a balmy 82–86 °F, it features 15 slides—ranging from high-speed body, tube, and raft slides to relaxing kiddie and wave pools. Notable attractions include:

·         Splash Falls: A multi-level play structure with tipping buckets and interactive sprays

·         Wild Rapids: Thrill-seekers can enjoy a coaster-like uphill launch followed by exhilarating drops

·         Soothing Springs: An adults-only warming pool for relaxation

With lazy rivers, surf simulators, cabanas, and heated pools, the indoor park offers hours of family fun or date-night delight.

Opening Memorial Day weekend, the 4.5‑acre outdoor lagoon delivers sandy beaches, zip lines, a fly-pool plunge, and a floating obstacle course—making it the fourth-largest pool in the U.S. Whether families are chasing thrills, enjoying the adult-only swim-up bar, or lounging in luxury cabanas, it’s summer vacation perfected under the sun.

Okana isn’t just about slides—it’s about experiences. The resort offers:

·         OKANARAMA: A 20,000 sq ft entertainment center with arcades, VR, laser tag, and escape rooms

·         Full-service spa: Featuring seven treatment rooms, nail stations, saunas, and tranquil lounges

·         Conference & event space: 27,000 sq ft of flexible meeting venues for corporate retreats and weddings

·         13 dining outlets: From gastropubs like Jack Rabbit and Curveball Kitchen to casual bites like pizza, tacos, and shaved ice

It’s a curated getaway for families, adults, and business travelers alike.

Military, group, and family pass options add flexibility to your stay. Guests can also upgrade to luxury cabanas both indoors and out for premium service.

Okana offers something no other inland resort does: a full-scale coastal vacation experience in the heart of the U.S. With indoor/outdoor water attractions, adult-only spaces, extensive dining, wellness, culture, and business infrastructure, it attracts everyone from adrenaline-seeking families to conference attendees and spa-loving couples. Its location in the Horizons District puts guests steps away from OKC’s cultural landmarks and future Olympic venues. Add in Chickasaw Nation heritage elements and you have a resort that both delights and gives back.
