Exploring Oklahoma with Children
SLEEP As a family of five, finding a hotel room that comfortably fits all of us – without feeling like we’re playing a game of suitcase Tetris – is nearly impossible. But OKANA delivers, offering spacious, well- thought-out accommodations for families of all sizes. All of the 404 rooms across the resort’s 11 floors are suites, meaning extra space and comfort are standard. Our King Bunk Suite was designed with families in mind, featuring a king-sized bed, sleeper sofa and cozy bunk bed nook that instantly became the kids’ favorite hideaway. Everyone had their own space, and we all enjoyed a full night’s rest on luxury bedding. Thoughtful touches continued, including a large mini-fridge and safe, as well as Indigenous art and décor and Indigenous-made toiletries.
EAT I expected OKANA to deliver top-tier waterpark thrills and luxe accommodations – but what I didn’t see coming was just how incredible the dining would be. OKANA takes
resort dining to another level with 13 unique eateries serving everything from elevated comfort food to modern Mexican street fare. At the indoor waterpark, you don’t have to sacrifice sliding time for snack
time. Order fast-casual favorites like pizza, burgers and Asian fare via touchscreen and get right back to the action. For a sit-down meal, OKANA offers several signature restaurants, including Jack Rabbit Pub , Chido Tacos y Tequila and Smokehouse Social (where you can also experience golf simulators overlooking the lagoon!). During dinner at Chido, the grown-ups sipped on specialty craft margaritas while the kids devoured adorable taco truck kids’ meals, complete with tacos served in an actual toy
truck! Every bite was fresh and delicious, from the sizzling fajitas to the bold guacamole and salsa. The breakfast buffet at Jack Rabbit included fluffy waffles, fresh fruit parfaits, spicy biscuits and gravy and a hearty egg scramble, all with views of the OKC skyline. Market 56 offers grab-and-go Starbucks coffee, fresh pastries, sandwiches and salads. Frosty Flamingo serves Hawaiian-style shaved ice, and OKANA Candy Co . dishes up creamy, unique ice cream flavors. Don’t miss Ultimate Oreo and This (Ish) Just Got Serious – a dreamy blend of salted caramel ice cream, fudge ribbons and salted cashews.
