Ridiculously expensive indoor swimming pool/wave pool. You know, we had wave pools in the States…read moreback in the 70's. It's not as if it's THAT big an atttraction. Anyway, they have a regular pool, a wave pool with beach-style shallow end, various saunas, and two, relatively decent slides. It's a decent sort of place but I just find the prices hard to justify and I give them poor marks for the extraordinary rudeness of employees. If I'm going to have an 18 year old school dropout run their mouth to me, I'm certainly not going to pay 50 Euros for the experience.

Public transport connection is good and plenty of free parking too.

How lucky is Darmstadt to have this Art Nouveau swimming complex? Note that most of the pool areas…read moreare not that suitable for lap swimming, because the main pool has a rope across the middle between the shallow and deep sections, and the outdoor pool is mostly for families, and therefore gets a little too crowded. However, it is definitely nice for swimming a few strokes and just relaxing! The best part, of course, is the sauna and steam room complex, with every temperature and combination of wet and dry sauna that you could imagine and want! A note for people traveling from abroad that this is a European style sauna, so it is coed and nude, but people are very respectful, and it was a very nice environment to relax either by yourself or with friends. A particular highlight was the outdoor sauna space and Terrace, which allows you to take in views of the city from an area of relative privacy. The pricing was very reasonable, and I would gladly come again!
