Huge new £250million water park to open in UK with 35 waterslides and 20 pools

Families will soon be able to enjoy fun days out at a huge new £250million water park opening in the UK.

Adults and kids alike will be able to splash around in over 20 pools, take on over 35 water slides, or simply unwind at the UK's first indoor beach complete with a wave machine.

For those looking to relax, the new attraction will also have thermal baths, an on-site spa and 30 saunas, as well as a 'wellbeing garden' and fitness classes.

Basically, it's set to be a strong contender for the UK's best water parks.

Therme Manchester is a thrilling new attraction coming to - you guessed it - Manchester, with construction set to begin this year and expected to take approximately two years to complete.

However, the resort has already shared a sneak peek of what guests can expect with CGI renderings, and it's definitely going to go top of our staycation wishlist!

Other highlights will include indoor and outdoor gardens with the likes of palm trees and tropical plants; in fact, its rose-shaped botanical garden is expected to be home to 1,500 biodiverse trees.

The 3D printed superstructure will house thousands of plants in the site's 10,000 sqm garden which will also boast urban farms and beehives.

Therme Manchester will be located in Peel L&P'S TraffordCity, opposite the Trafford Centre and Barton Square.

A statement from the group stated: "Therme Manchester will be a one-of-a-kind destination that offers a fun and relaxing holiday at home while helping to boost the health and wellbeing of all who visit.

"At 28 acres, the size of 19 football pitches, Therme Manchester is expected to become one of the top three all-season water-based destinations in the world."

It's expected that it will take approximately two years for the water park to be finished, although it's not yet clear if it may open in phases, which can often be the case on projects of this nature.

The resort hasn't yet revealed what people can expect when it comes to ticket prices, but its website does promise 'entry prices to suit every budget'.
