If you're just learning about Okana now, it has been a huge undertaking. A $ 300 million project in the making and the Sooner State's likely most technologically advanced indoor/outdoor water park.

Still on schedule, the 400-room luxury hotel overlooks parts of Bricktown, Downtown, and the Boathouse District. The indoor water park will spread across 100,000 square feet jam-packed with slides, zip lines, and all sorts of fun stuff including a 4.5-acre swimming lagoon.

It's massive.

If you're interested in being among the first Oklahomans to visit the resort, they're now booking stays starting April 1st of next year. Prices range from $310 - $633 per night. You can get all of the details here on the official Okana site.
