Have you been dreaming of splashing around at Oklahoma’s newest aquatic paradise? I was too! When I visited OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark, I literally squealed with excitement as I stepped into this 100,000 sq. ft. indoor wonderland. The best part? You do not need to book a room to enjoy the waterpark because OKANA day pass options are available.
While I loved the convenience of staying onsite, sleeping in, and staying late, a day pass is a great way to add OKANA to an Oklahoma City trip without booking a full resort stay. Here is what to know about OKANA day pass prices, tickets, resort day pass options, and tips before you go.
OKANA Day Pass Options: Something for Everyone!
OKANA uses flexible pricing for day passes, so the exact OKANA day pass price can vary by date, demand, holidays, and availability. Buying OKANA tickets online in advance is the best way to compare current options and secure the lowest available rate for your date.
Standard OKANA Waterpark Day Pass
This all-access ticket lets you enjoy Splash Indoor Waterpark and, when open seasonally, OKANA Beach. It is the best option if you want the fullest OKANA waterpark day pass experience.
Indoor Evening Pass
The Indoor Evening Pass includes access to Splash Indoor Waterpark from 4 PM to close. This is a good fit if you want a shorter visit or an after-work waterpark plan.
Outdoor Waterpark Day Pass
The Outdoor Waterpark Day Pass is for OKANA Beach when the outdoor waterpark is open seasonally, typically Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Military Day Pass
Active military and veterans receive 10%
Group Passes
Planning a birthday bash or team bonding? Groups of 25+ can snag special rates.
OKANA Day Pass Price and Ticket Tips
OKANA day pass prices are not one flat year-round rate. The resort uses flex-rate pricing, which means tickets can change based on the day you visit, peak seasons, holidays, and how many passes are still available. If you are comparing OKANA tickets, check the official day pass page for your exact date before you plan your trip.
- Book online in advance: OKANA recommends buying ahead for the best available rate.
- Expect higher demand: summer weekends, holidays, and school breaks may cost more or sell out.
- Check what your pass includes: indoor, evening, outdoor, group, and military options may have different rules.
- Know the policy: OKANA notes that day passes are final sale and non-refundable.
How to Score Your Day Pass (Without Breaking the Bank!)
Getting your hands on day passes couldn’t be easier! You have two options:
Online (Recommended): Book through OKANA’s official website to secure the best rates. They use a flex pricing system, which means booking early can save you serious money.
On Arrival: If spontaneity is your style, you can purchase at the waterpark front desk. Just be aware that peak days (especially summer weekends) might sell out.
Pro Tip: Follow OKANA on social media for flash sales! You never know what deal you might score.
What’s Included in Your Day Pass
Your day pass is basically your golden ticket to aquatic paradise! Here’s what you get:
- Full Access to both indoor and outdoor waterparks (outdoor park open seasonally)
- All Water Attractions from heart-pounding slides to the peaceful lazy river
- Seating Areas throughout the parks (though these fill up fast on busy days!)
Waterpark Hours Worth Planning Around
Splash Indoor Waterpark (Year-round)
- Sunday-Thursday: 10 AM – 8 PM
- Friday-Saturday: 10 AM – 9 PM
OKANA Beach (Memorial Day to Labor Day)
- Peak season: 10 AM – 7 PM daily
- Non-peak: 11 AM – 6 PM daily
Insider Timing Tip: Or not, but seriously. More people should take advantage of weekday bookings for less crowds.
My Top Tips for Day Visitors
Food Options That Actually Impressed Me
With 13 different food and beverage spots, you won’t go hungry! As someone who typically finds waterpark food disappointing, I was blown away by all the fun choices
Bring Your Own Towel
Save money by bringing your own towel. Hotel guests get this free, but it is a charge for day pass holders.
Splurge on a Cabana If You Can
If your budget allows, the cabana rentals are WORTH IT.
Day Pass vs. Resort Stay: What’s Right for You?
While I’m all about the day pass value, staying at the resort does come with some sweet perks which is what we opted for:
- Waterpark access on both check-in and check-out days (essentially two days of fun!)
- Access to additional resort amenities like the state-of-the-art fitness center
- Get extra sleep in time by not having to drive to the waterpark
- The joy of only having to travel up a few floors on the elevators after an exhausting day of play (also your private restroom/shower/nap center whenever needed).
For my Oklahoma City visit, I enjoyed all the convenience, but if that’s not an option a day pass still provides great opportunities.
Your Burning Questions, Answered!
Can I bring my own snacks and drinks?
Unfortunately, outside food and beverages aren’t allowed in the waterparks.
Are there height restrictions for the slides?
Yes! Safety first at OKANA. Some attractions have height requirements, and life jackets are mandatory for guests under 48 inches tall. The staff are super vigilant about this.
What should I pack for my day visit?
- Swimsuit (obviously!). If you plan on riding the flowrider ladies might like to bring an additional one piece with some upper chest coverage. Those waves are strong and I’ve seen too many accidents.
- Sunscreen (even for the indoor park – those skylights let in UV!)
- Flip flops or water shoes
- Cash for locker rental
- A change of clothes for afterward
Towels are available for rent, but I brought my own to save a few dollars.
