While we were in Berlin we took one day to visit the indoor water park
Tropical Islands. This is so cool! It's built inside of an old Zeppelin hangar! They did a really good job with the inside, including real plants, birds, and beach sand.
Inside they have two swimming areas with "beaches." They have places you can stay inside the park, either in tents or in little lodges. We didn't stay overnight, but I think it would be fun to stay in one of the lodges.
Once you are inside you pay for everything with a chip in your wristband. For lunch we had an all you can eat Asian barbeque that was AMAZING. You choose all the raw ingredients and then they cook it for you.
The kids wanted to spend the whole time in the pool, but I did get them out long enough to take a hot air balloon ride around the complex.
It was pretty fun! The balloon is strapped to a guy who walks it around the grounds. Seriously. It's strapped to a guy. He weighs the passengers ahead of time and then weights down the balloon so we don't fly away. Say hi to Rob on the lounge chair!
That looks like soo much fun! What an awesome way to use an old space as well!
ReplyDeleteI think that might be one of the coolest things ever. Do they keep it heated and open during the winter? They must, it has got to be getting pretty cold over there, by now!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how grown up Haven is looking!
That looks like a blast! I think my favorite part is the balloon!
