A couple have divided critics after installing an incredible water park in their home, complete with a pool, hot tub, palm trees and a WATERFALL… so would YOU want one?
Why drive miles to a water park and spend a fortune when you can build your own oasis at home?
A unique home based in Chicago, USA has caused a stir on social media after images of the incredible indoor water park were released, showing a water paradise within the confines of the private home.
Originally commissioned by the home’s previous owner, disgraced singer R. Kelly, the project is nothing short of spectacular.
The on-site water park, complete with a pool, jacuzzi, palm trees and even a waterfall, has drawn mixed reactions from viewers.
a clamp posted by @dronehubmedia and @alexwolking on Instagram in February shows the extensive size and intricate details of the water park, with the caption: ‘These homeowners built a water park into their house.’

The drone footage begins by following a hallway on the ground floor of the sprawling home, leading to two double doors that open into a room as long as a football field.
The walls, painted sea blue, and the thick stone floor are reminiscent of a rocky coast and a tropical amusement park.
Round windows have been installed, reminiscent of the windows on a sea vessel, while artificial palm trees and plants along the edge of the pool reinforce the maritime theme.
The turquoise pool takes up much of the space and has stone steps and iron handles leading down to the inviting water. In a corner of the pool there is a bubbling jacuzzi, where you can relax.
A spectacular wooden bridge arches over the pool and leads to a tiki-themed hut, complete with a wooden picnic table and chairs.
One of the standout features is a monumental waterfall, estimated at 6 to 8 feet high, with neon green ‘vine’ lights decorating the trees, adding a playful touch to the tropical setting.
Thousands of viewers praised the homeowners in the comments for their creativity and marveled at the innovative design and luxurious features.
However, some were concerned about the potential for high water bills and the challenge of maintaining sanitation. The risk of mold and the potentially overwhelming odor of chlorine was also pointed out.

Thousands of viewers praised the homeowners in the comments for their creativity, while others expressed concern about potential high water bills and the challenge of maintaining sanitation.
One wrote, “I know the water bill is high,” while another said, “That water bill is outrageous.”
A third said: ‘I can smell the chlorine on my phone’, while another asked: ‘How do you control the mould?’
Another Instagram user joked: ‘That’s not a water park. That’s a regular indoor pool.’
Meanwhile, one impressed wrote: ‘Simply beautiful’, while another said: ‘Honestly I’d do the same if I was rich.’
Finally, an Instagram user added, “This looks fun and creative and it’s definitely different… I have nothing negative to say about it. Maybe those who do can’t afford it, so it makes sense.”
It comes after a three-bedroom property in leafy Wimbledon was launched on property website Rightmove in May, with an open-plan toilet in one of the rooms.
