Virginia's largest indoor waterpark is under construction

Get your goggles ready, kids. Virginia's largest indoor waterpark is under construction an hour north of Richmond.

Driving the news: Wisconsin-based Kalahari Resorts broke ground last week on its $900 million, 1.38 million-square-foot Spotsylvania resort, its fifth in the nation and second on the East Coast.

• It's slated to open in 2026.

Why it matters: The massive entertainment wonderland will bring to the region 10 acres of outdoor pools, a surfing simulator, an adventure park with rides, rope courses, an arcade and climbing walls.

• Plus, 12 restaurants, a full-service spa and 900 hotel rooms.
• And the biggest waterpark in the state.
