West Des Moines city leaders have revealed updated plans for the Grand Experience, a $400 million indoor water park and hotel complex that spans 226 acres across two sites near the MidAmerican RecPlex on Grand Avenue.
Project Details
The northern site will include a 142-room hotel, a convention center, parking, and residential housing, while the western site will feature the original indoor water park, another hotel, and a newly announced 6,000-seat covered amphitheater. The updated plans also include space for restaurants, retail, and additional housing.
According to West Des Moines Mayor Russ Trimble, the project will be multi-use and will get a ton of use by West Des Moines residents and people from the region. The West Des Moines City Council is scheduled to vote on the updated Grand Experience development plan during a special meeting.
If approved, construction could begin next year, with the entire project potentially taking up to 10 years to complete. The mayor believes this project will spur additional economic growth and development in the area.
