First of all I hesitated a bit because I saw many recent bad 1 star reviews. And its even said that…read morethe park has a bad reputation. But now I got to say that Miramar isn't really that bad. I really enjoyed my stay and had a positive experience. Arriving: The park is situated in a more rural area but easy accessible via highway. Parking is free. I advice to arrive early around 9:30am since it can get pretty packed. (+ check the school holidays) Right now reservations are not an option but its limited access only, so first come first served (check the website to see if its free). Honestly I'd have preferred a reservation system. Before entering you need a corona test or vaccine pass (German 3g rule) check in on their website via the QR code at the entrance and remember to check out after exiting. Tests are available at the park. You can chose between the "Erlebnisbad" (water park), nude sauna area and Crystal therme. You can buy a ticket to one single area or combi. You also have a choice of 4h visit, whole day and evening visit. The park: The water park's slide complex is already an eye catcher with its colorful architecture. Inside after getting your wristband you go to the right to the changing rooms (men and women mixed). The wristband lets you open and close a locker of your choice (lockers are free, not like in US water parks). The showers as well as the changing rooms area are pretty clean and are spacy. Entering the main water park you have a relaxation pool under a glass dome to the right and a restaurant area on the left (where you have to wear a mask). Also on the right you can get to an outdoor pool area and the extra costing sauna area. Continuing straight you have a wave pool with tropical theme and a beach like area. Inside the wave pool there is a rope going across to mark where the water gets deeper. Thought of it being a bit of a trap to make people trip. There is also a kiddie slide, kids area and whirl pool. From the wave pool area you can also access the slide complex Slide complex: The first slide tower is the one featuring the body slides Typhoon and Blizzard. From the outside the tower looks its designed by a pop artist and resembles a "Hundertwasser"-house. Inside, the tower looks like it needs renovation. The blizzard slide, formerly known as Grüner Hai and being the roughest/intense slide in Germany, is a very fast and now smoother slide but with a very abrupt end. It still happens that people hit their head or so at the end. The typoon is not as intense, but also fun and fast colorful bodyslide. The second tower features the most slides. First there is the racing body slide Piranha, which one is very fast paced. The right Piranha side seemed more intense with faster paced direction changes to me. Then on the right is a tamer raft slide where you can slide all together without waiting. Very fun and colorful slide. Then on the further right there is the crazy single raft slide Splash with a covered bowl followed by a quarter pipe element (one of a kind section). Continuing up the stairs you have the raft slide Twister: a colorful fast paced slide with a huge covered funnel/halfpipe at the end. The second slide at the top is the famous Hurricane loop trapdoor slide featuring two loops. A very thrilling slide with a long freefall (if you're below 55kg you might not make it though the loop and use the escape hatch). The third and also smaller slide tower, which is accessible via a more industrial looking stairway, leads to two smaller/shorter slides: the pirate slide which goes straight down and a broad slide with a fun water curtain in the middle. They don't have group raft slides in the park though, but I don't mind that. Conclusion: Miramar a very fun indoor water park. I'd say in the slide domain it has a better slide selection than Rulantica. They have some crazy and intense slides in this park. The slides are all operated by traffic lights, except the trapdoor slide which has a life guard at the start. Thought it was pretty weird for them to open Splash at 10:30 and the trapdoor slide randomly at 11:30. The park is also a cool combi between action and relax, everyone finds its place to be in this park. Its clean and mostly well maintained. The staff is friendly and helps you out if you ask them something. They do certainly NOT cashgrab you, not like in most theme parks where everything costs extra (lockers, parking etc). The park was like at half capacity and the slides just had 0-5min waits. For me the 4h Erlebnisbad ticket was enough since I was solo. Its a very fun and enjoyable half day experience. I might come back. Slides: 5/5  Price: 5/5  Families:4/5   Pool complex: 5/5  Relax/wellness: 5/5  Staff: 4/5 Sanitary/safety: 3,5/5

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!

Thank you for your help to find out my husband's watch after we have left for serval hours…read more and the kids swimming pool's temperature is very suitable, and my daughter loves there. This is the first time we come but we all feel glad that we find one fantastic place in Darmstadt.

I came here after experiencing the salt mine near by. After spending time in the cold air, walking…read morelaps and breathing in Salt, I was ready to relax. The center is very clean and organized. Locker rooms are spacious and allow for plenty of privacy, however I can't say the same for the showers afterwards. Showers were curtained off in pairs of two, so the Europeans were far more comfortable using them than I was. The pool itself was heated. There was also a mineral pool and hot tub inside. Large glass walls let in lots of natural light and provided great views of the outdoors. I also made it in time for the water aerobics class included in your ticket inside. Despite the language barrier, the class leader demonstrated everything clear enough for me to follow along. This was a great, relaxing experience (besides the showering naked with strangers part).

It is the open-air pool of Weinheim, owned by the local sports' club and subsidized by the town…read more The renovation, completed not even two years ago, was badly needed and came almost too late. It is open in summer only. It is situated towards Gorxheim, surrounded by woods, on a fairly large aerial, with football (soccer) places attached. The Grundelbach, a little brook that flows from Gorxheim through Weinheim, feeds the pools. There are two main pools, one for swimmers, one for non-swimmers, and a little wading pool for tiny tots. Sprawling lawns for sunbathing, volleyball or badminton fields, and a little shop for drinks and snacks complete the scenery. The pools are lined with metal which looks cool even if the water is not (there is a heating system). Unfortunately, the renovations did away with the diving platform and the extra wide slide into the non-swimmers' is not an adequate replacement. Parking right in front is at a premium, but a short walk up into the forest leads to another well-shaded parking lot. As an alternative, the bus stop is right in front.

Die Therme an sich in Ordnung, aber mein Erlebnis mit dem Bademantelverleih war enttäuschend. Ich…read morehabe einen Bademantel ausgeliehen (40 € Pfand, 7 € Gebühr), aber nach dem Besuch der Dampfsauna war er verschwunden - vermutlich versehentlich von jemand anderem mitgenommen. Obwohl ich das sofort gemeldet habe, wurde ich an der Rezeption sofort abgewiesen. Keine Kulanz, keine Lösungsvorschläge - nur ein Konversation welche man mit "Pech gehabt" zusammenfassen konnte und die Forderung, die 40 € zu zahlen. Das restliche Personal war freundlich und verständnisvoll, aber die Person an der Rezeption war direkt in Abwehrhaltung und hatte eine merkwürdige Art. Ein bisschen mehr Kundenorientierung hätte ich mir gewünscht. Neben der schlechten Erfahrung ist das auch eine fragwürdige Geschäftsentscheidung. Ich habe in der Vergangenheit mehrfach Gutscheine für Ihre Therme als Geschenk gekauft, doch nach dieser Erfahrung werde ich weder wiederkommen noch erneut Gutscheine kaufen. Auf lange Sicht verliert die Therme damit weit mehr Geld, als wenn sie in solchen Fällen kulanter handeln würde. Auch nach schildern der Situation über die Info-Email wird darauf behaart, dass ich das Geld nicht zurückerstattet oder gutgeschrieben bekomme.

Oh my! What an experience!…read more This is a perfect palm paradise. Swimming pool/spa/sauna extravaganza. But I must say right now that most of it is nude. There are several different packages you can buy. Just the pool (textiles) or the vital thermen which includes pool, sauna, spa (textiles free). We opted for this. It cost €29 (+€3 extra as was bank holiday/weekend). You are given a watch like wrist band which enables you to enter certain areas. When entering, there is a sign in German which roughly translates to 'you must remove your textiles now (also no phones or photos after this point)'. Okay, drop the bathing suits, and after a few minutes of feeling a bit coy, you can release your inner mermaid and take pride in your body as everyone else around you is also in the nude! There is a bar in the pool. You can get cocktails, you can get coffees and drink them in the pool! Three glasses of prosecco please! You use your watch wrist band to pay for these - it tallies what you've spent and you pay at the end when you leave - very clever. The inside is amazing, albeit a little tacky. Huge palm trees surround all the many pools, along with plastic orchids! Lots of jacuzzi's and bubble streams. You can swim outside, it was freezing and raining, but so nice and warm under the water. I could imagine it being amazing if it were snowing, or equally in the sun. There are about 7 or 8 different saunas to choose from. From 60 degrees, up to 90 degrees. Japanese theme, Finnish, Moroccan, Viennese. All sorts. They also have infusionists shows. We saw a guy dressed like Mozart waft a towel around in the sauna. There was also a cinema sauna which was playing nature documentaries. Nothing like sitting in a sauna full of naked strangers watching armadillos trying to mate! There is a salt pool which has so much salt in it you literally float like in the Dead Sea. There is also a calcium-lithium pool which is good for your bones and wellbeing. We put our 'textiles' back on and went to the other pool and bar and enjoyed a pina colada in the jacuzzi. Just perfect!
