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.

There’s also Wild Rapids, a water slide combined with a rollercoaster, and Soothing Springs, a relaxing spot for guests aged 21 and up.

 

Beyond water adventures, the resort features countless entertainment options like OKANARAMA!, a 20,000-square-foot family entertainment center with interactive arcade games, arts and crafts, prizes, and two-story laser tag and immersive escape room experiences; three outdoor event spaces; and various retail shops. Parents can indulge in a treatment at the on-site spa, too.
