Not only is it a balmy 32C inside throughout the year, it also has 18 swimming pools and 35 water slides.
The Polish waterpark got a little bit bigger when Crocodile Island opened on January 17, just in time for the country's winter school holidays.
First announced in 2022, Crocodile Island has been created alongside Creative Studio Berlin, which has imagined new stories and three mascots: Jag, Maggy, and Otto.
The new family-friendly land features four zones: the Boat, the Beach, the Rainforest and the Ruins.

Its first zone is the Boat, which acts as the entryway to Crocodile Island and is home to a huge boat.
Designed with younger guests in mind, the Beach zone features a range of play areas, building activities and a live entertainment stage.
Meanwhile, in the Rainforest zone, kids can climb a huge tree, play educational games and use up some energy in the soft play area.
The Ruins zone has been designed for teenagers and is home to water spray games, contests and challenges.

Families will get the most out of Jamango thanks to its themed water jungle with palm trees and sunbeds.
The area also has several water slides, including a lazy river and baby pools.
Meanwhile, only guests aged 16 and over can visit Relax Suntago, making it the perfect spot for adults.
Park-goers will find hot tubs, thermal pools, sulphur pools and brine pools.
The Saunaria zone has 15 saunas as well as steam rooms and hot tub pools.
Suntago Water World also has five restaurants - serving American, Asian and of course Polish cuisine - and four bars right by the pools along with juice and snack bars.

The waterpark even has its own holiday village, with Suntago Village having 92 fully equipped bungalows ranging from four-person to eight-person.
Idan Greidinger, CEO of Park of Poland, told Blooloop: "Creative Studio Berlin was in charge from concept to opening. In close collaboration with the Suntago team, they transformed the 1,000 sqm area into a highly themed playground like no other water park has.
"Only open for just a couple of days, it’s already our guests’ favorite. Families love to immerse themselves into the world of our mascots Jay, Meggy and Otto at Crocodile Island."
Entry tickets for adults start from PLN 155 (£30.76), while tickets for children up to 120cm start from PLN 95 (£18.65).
The attraction is about an hour's drive away from Warsaw.
Both Ryanair and Wizz Air operate direct flights from UK airports like London, Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle.
Sun Online Travel has found one-way tickets from the UK to Warsaw for £17 during the winter months.
