OKANA Named One of TIME’s World’s Greatest Places of 2026


OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark has been recognized on TIME’s World’s Greatest Places of 2026, a list honoring 100 destinations redefining travel around the globe.


This achievement reflects the vision of the Chickasaw Nation and the dedication of the many teams who brought this destination to life. Designed as more than a resort, OKANA creates a space for families to gather, explore, and connect through meaningful experiences rooted in culture and hospitality.

At ADG, we are proud to have partnered on this landmark project through a comprehensive, start-to-finish approach. Serving as the owner’s representative, our team supported budgeting, planning, and execution to help ensure the project was delivered on time and within scope. From early concept development alongside the Chickasaw Nation to full construction management of the waterpark and adventure lagoon, ADG played a hands-on role at every stage.

Our team also delivered a specialty equipment package featuring WaveTek® wave generation technology and a range of water attractions designed to elevate the guest experience. Through our Developer Support Program, we worked closely with all partners to streamline development, align details, and maximize long-term value.

Seeing OKANA recognized among the world’s top destinations is a testament to what can be achieved through strong collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence.

Congratulations to everyone involved. We’re excited to see the continued impact OKANA will have on Oklahoma City’s growing tourism landscape.
