I must say I’m pretty offended by what I’ve seen said here… especially when what’s being said has nothing to do with the article~.
I just saw this Ocean Dome on “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” and it looked really really cool. I would love to go there and see it. As for what people have been saying…. I just don’t really understand what the point of commenting is if you’re just gonna say “that’s a f**king stupid idea” or w/e. It’s not about ruining the real beach… the area around the Ocean Dome doesn’t have the most healthy water to swim in…(that’s what they said on Ripley’s anyway) so they do have more reason to build something like this. Also the waves are a perfect condition situation so many pro surfers go there to surf, which I think would be awesome to see!

I wanted to go there but The Ocean Dome was officially closed on October 1, 2007. It was only for $25 !!!

Rrom what i hear and see from pictures, this place produces some of the best quality surfable waves(from an indoor pool) in the world. The technology in that area is so far ahead of everyone else, it’ll be years to reproduce that wave making technology. Now i hear the place is shutting down, is that true?

I’m pretty sure this hunk of crap is closed down. So much for it being a ‘great idea’ like all the morons posted above.

This is a beautiful idea, for a while I have been working on a project proposal for such beach to be build in my city johannesburg but I have not been able to talk to anyone who can give me some ideas. Can anyone give me people I can contact of the company that built the one in japan. Desperately in need for information, please help.

Dudes, I moved to MN from CA. Bring it here. I would so get a season pass.. (a season pass would be all year round..whoot). And yes its cold in Japan, it snows like heck and rains like hoot. Beaches are hard to come by in MN. Man, a indoor beach at the mall of america… that is awesome.
I’ve been to the “Ocean Dome”… believe me… it rocks.
anyone who says different.. Probably never been to a real beach.
“Build it, and they will come”. LOL

I just got back from a weekend trip to the Ocean Dome and a stay at SeaGaia Resort. The Ocean Dome was impressive and lots of fun. My 2 year old son had a blast playing in the kid zones and we all had fun at the “beach.” I had read the reviews from previous visitors before I went and was worried the establishment would be rundown. I was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite. The Ocean Dome looked great and was well maintained. The staff were friendly and even spoke a little English. The price is not $50, but closer to $30 during peak times (a season pass is only 8,000 Yen). In addition, if you stay at the hotel, you get a discounted admission to the Ocean Dome. The hotel was great and had a breathtaking view. We had a wonderful weekend and plan to go back. I would suggest a trip to the Ocean Dome if you ever in the area.

It sounds like a number of people are jealous of their water park. The USA has a number of INDOOR water parks (example Castaway bay on Lake Erie) but none are as grand as the Ocean Dome. If you want nature go hike to some remote beach if you have a bunch of kids and want safety and fun go to Ocean Dome.
