What to Do

Cool off and make a splash at the all-new OKANA Indoor Waterpark! With an impressive lineup of water slides, a wave pool and a lazy river, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The best part? You don’t have to be a hotel guest to join in the fun—day passes are available, giving you all-day access to Splash Indoor Waterpark and, starting this May, the shores of OKANA Beach.  

If you're seeking a peaceful retreat away from the pool, treat yourself to a visit to The Spa at OKANA. First-time guests can take advantage of an exclusive 30% off all spa treatments through April 30. Not staying at the resort? No problem—you’re welcome to enjoy the spa as well! 

For some extra fun, don’t miss OKANARAMA!, the in-house arcade. It’s open to everyone, whether you're a guest at the resort or simply exploring the vibrant Horizons District for the day. 

After a day of waterpark fun, take a short stroll to the First Americans Museum, where history and culture come to life. This 175,000 sq. ft. museum features immersive exhibitions, engaging community events and educational programs that highlight the collective histories of Oklahoma’s 39 tribes. It’s the perfect way to round out your visit with a deeper appreciation of the region’s rich heritage. Before you go, be sure to stop by the FAMstore to browse a unique selection of handmade First American art and products—the perfect keepsake from your visit. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the FAMily Discovery Center, opening Summer 2025 at the First Americans Museum! This immersive exhibit offers a fun, engaging experience for all ages. Explore a vibrant, multi-dimensional world filled with interactive games that challenge stereotypes and inspire respect, while hands-on activities teach patience and resilience. Don’t miss out on the adventure!
