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.

entertainment center with arcades, VR, laser tag, and escape rooms
·
Full-service spa: Featuring

and outdoor waterparks; Evening Passes offer after‑5pm entry from ~$25. Room

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.
