One of the stranger tourist attractions in Germany has to be Tropical Islands Resort, a massive water park built in an old Soviet airplane hangar outside Berlin.It's open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. And it attracts everyone people of all ages.There are dozens of water slides, lagoons, and pools, as well as a rainforest and shopping boulevard. As Neistat notes, this trip was his son's idea.Still, it's a pretty good place for a father and son to hang out.Tropical Islands has Germany's highest water slide tower, with 4 slides and 110 steps. It's a monster.Neistat also shows us the dark side of Tropical Islands. At one point, he wonders why a chicken is freely walking around the grounds. And there are cockroaches everywhere, he says.As night approaches, the park gets a little creepy. People can actually vacation here: There are two hundred rooms in the dome, as well as dozens of tents in the "rainforest."Neistat and his son find themselves wandering the dark, empty grounds at 2 a.m., totally unsupervised. It's the perfect opportunity for a late night swim.Finally, morning arrives. The food? "Just terrible."The video is worth a watch in its entirety:
