Tropical Islands Resort is a tropical-themed indoor water park located in the former Brand-Briesen Airfield in Halbe, a municipality in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg, Germany, 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the southern boundary of Berlin.[1] It is the largest indoor water park in the world, bigger than Canada's World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall, and is housed in a former airship hangar (known as the Aerium), which is the biggest free-standing hall in the world and the fourth-largest building in the world by usable volume.[2] The hall belonged to the company Cargolifter until its insolvency in 2002.
Tropical Islands has a maximum capacity of 8,200 visitors per day. Approximately 600 people work at the park. Spanish entertainment group Parques Reunidos acquired Tropical Islands in December 2018.[3]
