Ireland’s biggest indoor water park is now taking bookings and it sounds AMAZING

The holiday resort is going to be a 'Subtropical Swimming Paradise.'

Center Parcs has officially opened the bookings for its Longford location. The location, which is set to open its doors in summer 2019, is going to be a 'Subtropical Swimming Paradise' near Ballymahon - creating the perfect place for a family getaway. The mammoth complex - which is being billed as "Ireland's largest waterpark" - is going to be heated year-round  and there's going to be something for everyone to enjoy. The indoor waterpark is going to have a large family wave pool, Wild Water Rapids, children's water play areas, relaxing whirlpools, and 350m of exhilarating rides and flumes suitable for all ages. Coming to Center Parcs Longford Forest are the Tropical Cyclone, a family raft ride with a gravity-defying drop; the Typhoon, a two-seater ride with drops, swings and speeds of up to 45km/ph; and the Twister a thrilling family body slide. If you're looking to take a break from all the splashes, slides and waves, Center Parcs is also going to have the option of a private family cabana, which includes a TV, refreshments and loungers; or grabbing a bite at the café. The reveal of the Subtropical Swimming Paradise comes as Centre Parcs Ireland confirming that bookings are now open for winter 2019.
