While researching and putting together our itinerary for Berlin, I came across Tropical Islands Resort. Tropical Islands Resort is a tropical theme park inside a cargo lifter airship hanger (know as the Aerium), the biggest free-standing hall in the world. Tropical Island opened in 2004 and has the biggest indoor rainforest in the world (with around 50,000 plants and 600 different species, including some rare plants), a beach, and a number of swimming pools with fountains, slides and waterfalls. It also includes a hotel and camping grounds, bars and restaurants. It is open around the clock, every day of the year.
I thought it would be a fun stop on our trip and is right between Berlin and Dresden. We left Berlin around 8am to arrive at 9am and enjoy a few hours of swimming and lunch before heading down to Dresden.
We bought our tickets online and had no issues checking in. Make sure you get in the proper line since they have a few different lines for guests who are staying overnight or buying tickets at the door. Next, we headed to the locker room to change. They have changing rooms available but don't be shocked if people change right in front of you by their locker.
Be sure to take a walk around the whole park. It really is a cool place and they have a lot to offer. The kids area is really fun. Rand had a blast in the ball pits and water areas.
Tips for your visit to Tropical Islands Resort:
-Bring a wet bag for your swimsuits and your own towel
-Bring sandals (I remembered everyone else's except my own)
-Leave your wallet in your locker. You will get a wrist band and use that for purchases
-Bring your own water since it is very pricey
