• Slides open at 1pm on weekdays outside school holidays, so a weekday morning means pools only
• Under-12s need an adult with them in the Galaxy and the pools, while over-12s can go on their own
• Reserve online at busy times, since a booking guarantees entry when the doors close on full weekends and holidays

Therme Erding is a thermal spa and water park with more than 300 real palm trees around its pools. Kids head for the Galaxy, 28 slides adding up to over 2,850 meters, including four children's slides for over-3s and two gentler ones for toddlers.

The 34-degree wave pool runs from gentle ripples to surfing swells up to two meters high. The sauna and wellness areas are for ages 16 and up.
