Wet N Wild was an indoor water park situated in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England. It was the United Kingdom's largest indoor water park when opened by Diane Youdale (Jet) on 19 July 1993, a title subsequently claimed by Sandcastle Waterpark after its extension in the 2000s. The park was situated in the Royal Quays complex, and featured numerous slides, a wave machine, and rapids. The park finally shut in 2019, and remained abandoned until 2024. On 8 November 2024, demolition of the abandoned water park began.
