Tropical Islands Indoor Water Park Day Tickets from Berlin

Tropical Islands in the former airship hangar

Tropical Islands is in Krausnick, in the state of Brandenburg, about sixty kilometres south-east of Berlin. It occupies a huge former airship hangar, about 360 metres long, 210 metres wide and 107 metres high, one of the largest free-standing halls in the world, which now holds a tropical world under one roof.

For visitors from Berlin, the resort makes an easy day trip: leave the grey weather behind, take the shuttle bus for around an hour, and step into warm air, palm trees and blue water. Many families search for a Tropical Islands day trip from Berlin because it is one of the most popular indoor attractions in the region and works in every season.

Rainforest, lagoon and beach

The main hall is dressed as a tropical landscape, with thousands of plants forming a rainforest, winding paths, waterfalls, lakes and a large lagoon with a sandy beach where you can swim, lie back in the sun or simply enjoy the warm air. Themed areas add different moods, and the whole place feels like a holiday resort in the middle of Brandenburg.

Because the hall is enormous, it never feels crowded even on busy days, and there is plenty of room to walk, explore and relax between swims. Bring swimwear and a towel, and plan to spend most of the day here.

Slides, Amazonia and the kids' club

For thrills, the water slide tower is the highlight, offering some of the fastest and longest slides in Germany and a big drop for adrenaline seekers. The outdoor Amazonia area adds more water play in the open air when the weather is good, and the Jungle Splash is a favourite for families with children.

Younger children can join Tropino, the kids' club, while parents relax. The default ticket includes the slide tower, Amazonia, the Jungle Splash and Tropino. The sauna area, the fitness club, food and drink, and the souvenir shop are not included, and the saunas, which reach up to 90 degrees Celsius, carry an extra fee.

Getting there, timing and tips

Your ticket includes a shuttle bus from Berlin. The pickup point and departure times are shown in your confirmation, so check them carefully and arrive a few minutes early. The ride takes roughly an hour each way, which leaves you most of the day at the resort.

If you are asking how to get to Tropical Islands from Berlin, the shuttle is the easiest option. Attractions have special opening hours, and adverse weather or maintenance can temporarily close some areas, so treat the list of attractions as a guide. The best time to visit Tropical Islands is a weekday, when the resort is quieter, or in winter when the warm hall feels especially welcome.
