New images show the new holiday park set to open in Basingstoke.

The site will be the site of the current Basingstoke Golf Centre.

The new resort will have a 500-bedroom hotel on site as well as an entertainment center with bowling alleys, arcades and restaurants.

There will also be an indoor water park with slides and pools as well as an adventure park with climbing walls and ropes courses.

The 45-acre attraction will also feature miniature golf courses.

No more has been revealed regarding prices and the official opening date.

However, it is expected to provide overnight accommodation and daily passes to the water park.

An overnight stay for a family of four at the Great Wolf Resort in the United States can cost around $199 per night.

John Isitt, Basingstoke Councilor, said: “The Great Wolf Indoor Water Park Resort in Basingstoke will bring around £275 million of investment, many new visitors to our area, many good jobs and will bring material and long-term savings to the local economy.

“This will put us on the map as a tourist destination in the UK, and I expect it will attract the best and most exciting entertainment operators to the new theme park.

“Of course, these are early days and a lot of detailed work is needed including the company obtaining planning permission. I can confirm that our commitment to building the new council-owned Aquadrome at the theme park remains whatever the outcome.

“I very much welcome the interest Great Wolf Resorts has shown in our area and hope residents share this enthusiasm.”

Plans for the holiday resort were first announced in 2019, with the application rejected in March 2020.

However, this was canceled with planning authorities given the green light.

There are plenty of other exciting attractions opening in the UK in the next few years.

A £250m water park and spa is to open in Manchester, with an indoor beach and swim-up bars.

Wales could become home to a multi-million pound holiday resort featuring forest lodges, zip wires and canoeing experiences.
