Kids will love swimming and splashing in the fourth-largest pool in the country. Complete with plunge-pool body slides, an inflatable obstacle course, and adult-only swim-up bar and tanning pools, the resort’s outdoor adventure lagoon opens just in time for summer. There’s even a “fly” pool, where guests can zip, jump and slide into the water. The outdoor adventure lagoon also includes luxury cabanas and a sand beach lined with lounge chairs.
Accommodations are available in king and double queen options, with plush furnishings, televisions, and views of the Oklahoma River and city skyline.
