One of Europe's biggest indoor children's play centres is set to open in 2022, near Wetherby.
Based at Stockeld Park, the Playhive will feature a range of "adventure zones", made up of wooden play pieces, covering 20,000 square feet indoors.
The owners of the estate say it will bring millions of pounds of investment to the area, and it will also help to create and safeguard 50 jobs.
It's being built with the help of a loan, and costs £3.5million to build.
Owner Peter Grant said: "The Playhive is a passion project. We didn’t want the usual soft play scene, but one that truly inspires imaginations.
"During lockdown, we had to close Stockeld Park for significant parts of the year, and when we were allowed to open, Covid restrictions hugely reduced our capacity.
"Now more than ever, our tourism sector needs to come back fighting, and after the isolation and anxieties of the last year, families desperately need to get away and have some fun."
