Do you have any indoor water parks on the list we missed?
I wonder if anyone actually visits these places before copying and pasting a description for an article. The first one on the list has been closed for probably close to 10 years now. I actually made reservations there several years ago after reading a similar article only to find it was no longer in operation. Just fyi
Thanks Derek for the information. The Pirate’s Bay Indoor Water Park has been confirmed closed and removed from the list. Thank you!
