Tropical Islands Resort is an artificial tropical resort in Krausnick, Germany.[1] It is said to have the world's largest tropical indoor pool which can accommodate up to 8,000 visitors a day. It is also the world's largest indoor waterpark at 66,000 m² (710,000 sq feet).
The resort is located in Briesen/Brand, part of Halbe in Dahme-Spreewald, Brandenburg, Germany, about 60 km (37 mi) south-southeast of Berlin.
It is inside a disused hangar 360 metres (1,181 ft) long, 210 metres
(689 ft) wide and 107 metres (351 ft) high. At 5.5 million m³ (194
million ft³), it stands as one of the largest buildings on Earth by volume,
and is the world's largest single hall without supporting pillars
inside. The hangar cost €78 million and was originally commissioned by Cargolifter AG as an airship hangar named Aerium, but the airship it was intended to house – the CL160 – was never built.
The Malaysian Tanjong
company bought the hangar and the surrounding real estate for €17.5
million and turned it into a resort with a man-made tropical habitat. It
opened on December 19, 2004. The resort has an exotic environment with rainforest, beach, artificial sun, palm trees, orchids, and birdsong. The air is kept at a warm 25 °C (77 °F). Tropical Islands is open all day, every day of the year.
