The incredible science behind this $2,000,000 garden pool

by Leave a Comment

This garden pool cost $2 million Dollars. That’s an incredible amount of money to spend on a water feature but this is also an incredible pool. It is as a long as four school buses. It has several waterfalls that either let you jump from the top or are the exit point of a hidden slide.

The rock is fake but looks very real. Inside the rock is the entry way to a water tunnel that’s so deep and dangerous you need to train in scuba to use it. Also inside the rock is an entire kitchen, with 8 panel grill, shower and toilet.

Do you have a pool in your back garden?

Are you tempted by one?
