Water park

Water parks in Lower Silesia: slides, thermal pools and saunas in Wrocław and the region's towns. See where to go for a swim.

Where can you swim and ride slides in Wrocław?

Wrocław has the widest choice. The Aquapark Wrocław network runs a main complex in the Huby district with pools, slides and saunas, plus two smaller branches in Brochów and Zakrzów. The Huby site was built in 2005-2008, the Brochów branch opened in 2022 and the Zakrzów one in 2024. The same main complex also has its own page as the Wrocław Water Park on Borowska Street, so start there if you want that exact address.

In Brochów, Aquapark Brochów offers a sports pool, an outdoor recreation pool, a paddling pool for toddlers and a sauna zone. Aquapark Zakrzów on Wilanowska Street has recreation pools, a wave pool and an outdoor brine pool. All the city options sit together on the page water parks in Wrocław.

Which pools have thermal or brine water?

If you want warm water, head to Jelenia Góra. Termy Cieplickie is open all year and has thermal pools, slides and a spa area, with water between 27 and 36 degrees Celsius. In Bolesławiec, Termy Bolesławiec combines a brine pool with a recreation pool, a jacuzzi, saunas and a salt cave.

In the spa town of Kudowa-Zdrój, look at Wodny Świat: a water park in the centre of town with a 92-metre slide and brackish water with a salinity close to the Baltic Sea, which is not chlorinated. That suits people who dislike chlorine, though health questions are best discussed with a doctor.

Which pool is best with kids?

For a family outing, choose a place with a paddling pool and a slide. In Oława, Termy Jakuba has an indoor pool with six lanes, a paddling pool, a jacuzzi and a slide, and in summer an outdoor pool of more than 1,300 m² joins in. In Jawor, Słowianka has a 54-metre slide, saunas and a brine graduation tower, and in Osiecznica the indoor pool offers a tube slide and a paddling pool with a water umbrella.

Children who are still learning to swim will find classes in Trzebnica. The Municipal Water Park runs swimming lessons, including a programme for children and teenagers with motor disabilities, and classes for seniors. In Strzelin, Granit has a separate children's pool, a jacuzzi and swimming lessons.

Where can you swim lanes, and where can you simply unwind?

For regular swimming, pick a place with a sports pool. In Lubin, the pools at the Regional Sports Centre have a sports pool with six 25-metre lanes, but this is an outdoor complex, so plan it for warm days. In Świebodzice, the Water Recreation Centre has a 25 by 12.5 metre sports pool that is 2 metres deep, and in Brzeg Dolny Aquasport offers six lanes and a sauna.

For adults who prefer quiet, there is Aquario in the Ołtaszyn district: a pool and spa complex with marble tiles, saunas, a jacuzzi, massages and a gym. Close to the Market Square, the Wrocław SPA Centre occupies the historic interiors of a former bathhouse and has two pools and a sauna area.

Can you combine a swim with other activities?

Yes. In Oleśnica, the ATOL complex joins an indoor pool with a bowling alley, a gym, a climbing wall, tennis courts, an ice rink and a sauna area with a salt cave. In Wałbrzych, Aqua Zdrój is the largest sports facility in the Sudetes: a water park, a hotel and a restaurant at the foot of the Chełmiec hill. In Kłodzko the indoor pool lies close to the Kłodzko Fortress, so after a walk around the fortress you can spend an hour in the sauna.

If you like water sports, drive to Jezierzany near Legnica, where the Kraina Dobrej Energii resort runs Wake Park Dobra Energia with a wakeboard cable. It is not a pool, but it works on a summer day when an indoor swim does not appeal.

What about seasonal pools and smaller towns?

In Żmigród, Aquagród is a seasonal summer pool with a slide, swimming lessons and a sunbed rental. A short trip near the Barycz Valley is easy with Krośnicka Przystań, which has a swimming section and saunas. In Głogów, the Chrobry pool combines a hall open all year with outdoor pools open in summer.

In the mountains, look at Blue Mountain Aquapark & Saunarium in Szklarska Poręba, with outdoor and indoor pools and sauna zones. Guests from outside the hotel can use it, but access may be limited at peak season, so it is a good target outside the summer holidays and winter breaks.
