They may say that everything is bigger in Texas, but when it comes to water parks, this isn’t the case. That’s because it’s the country of Germany that can lay claim to being the home of the world’s largest water park. It’s called Tropical Islands and it’s a part of a much larger property known as the Tropical Islands Resort.
Now, this isn’t your typical water park. As you might expect, the weather in Germany isn’t always conducive to having fun splishing and splashing in the sun. And so, the vast majority of this incredible water park is actually indoors! In fact, the structure that houses the water park covers a whopping 16 acres and is capable of accommodating up to 6,000 people at a time… That’s one massive water park!
But, it’s not just the size of this water park that distinguishes it. It’s also got some pretty cool things to see and do as well! So, if you’ve been wondering what the largest water park in the world looks like, and you want to lay eyes on a marvel of human ingenuity, then read on!
