The Wave Waterpark Resort by EPIC, the first new construction indoor waterpark, is opening in Fargo, North Dakota, in December of 2025.
The Wave has finalized all plans and closed on its final loan allowing construction to begin. The finalized cost for the project has come in at approximately $73.8 million.
EPIC Companies and its investors will be the owner and developer while S&L Hospitality, a Wisconsin company that has worked on similar attractions, will manage the project.
At the core of this resort is its 50,000-square-foot indoor waterpark, attracting visitors from a 180-mile radius to visit. The waterpark is not just for overnight guests; it’s open to the public, too, with day passes available for purchase.
This project has been backed by many local lenders including Bank of North Dakota (approved by the Industrial Commission), Bank Forward, First Western Bank and Trust, Kirkwood Bank & Trust, Bravera Bank, the ND Commerce Development Fund, and private investors.
