ROUND ROCK, Texas (Talk1370.com) -- Central Texas is now home to the nation's largest indoor water park.
Kalahari Resort Round Rock, located right across from the Dell Diamond, is now open - with more than 1.5 million square feet of space on 350 acres.
The resort features more than 900 guest rooms, making it the second-largest hotel in the Austin area, along with other indoor attractions.
The company says it's aiming to employ 700 people by the end of the year.
Former "American Idol" champion Jordin Sparks was part of the opening day's festivities.
Officials said under normal circumstances, the resort is designed to accommodate as many as 8,000 guests - but with COVID-19 safety protocols, the resort will limt itself to about 3,000, with social distancing and other limits in place for the water park and other attractions.
Round Rock is the company's fourth location, with existing properties in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
