General
In addition to the Aquapulco, the Therme Bad Schallerbach also includes the Tropicana area. The two areas offer different worlds of experience for visitors.
Aquapulco is an action-packed paradise for water enthusiasts of all ages. With more than 200 interactive water play devices, 9 exciting slides, and a large outdoor area, thrills and fun are guaranteed here. The Pirate World, in particular, attracts young adventurers who can feel like real pirates and explore the imaginatively designed water attractions.
In contrast, Tropicana offers a place of relaxation and well-being. It revolves around wellness and relaxation. Thermal pools, saunas, steam baths, and relaxation zones invite you to let your body and mind unwind.
However, all this fun comes at a price. Two adults with a child can easily pay over €100 per day if they want to enjoy both areas (they are only separated by turnstiles). We particularly recommend this in winter, as there are almost no lounging areas in Aquapulco except for the outdoor area.
Aquapulco Pirate World
One of the main attractions is the impressive slides that promise pure adrenaline. From fast descents on the Black Mamba to thrilling rides in the X-Tube, there is plenty of excitement. But even the youngest visitors are not neglected. They can splash around in the shallow children’s pools, discover water games, and frolic on child-friendly slides.
Pools and Relaxation
In addition to the action-packed attractions, Aquapulco also offers a variety of pools and relaxation areas. The wave pool promises pure bathing fun as you let yourself be carried away by the artificially generated waves once every hour. And in good weather, the outdoor pool entices with pleasant refreshment and sunbathing.
Highlights of the Pirate World
Here, children can immerse themselves in a fascinating world characterized by pirate ships, water fountains, and slides. The imaginatively designed environment invites exploration and play. The adventure trail is a 100-meter-long circular path high
above the pirate bay! Kids can have fun here, climbing, and exploring interactive water play devices such as water cannons, pumps, water wheels, and splash attractions.
The Slides
In the Pirate World, there are 5 slides with different levels of difficulty: Kamikaze, Snaky, Die Krake, Black Jack, and Canyon. Unfortunately, all 5 slides start from the same platform, which can lead to congestion, especially on weekends and holidays.
Our favorite was Die Krake, where you ride in double tubes through the tentacles of the octopus. Please remember not to keep the tubes but hand them over to the next person in line at the end.
Tastes vary, so there is something for everyone.
Outdoor
If the 5 indoor slides are not enough, the outdoor area offers 4 more slides and 200 interactive water play devices!
One of the highlights of the water park is undoubtedly the impressive pirate head, which holds a proud 3,000 liters of water. Every minute, there is a spectacular “splash experience” where the contents of the pirate head pour out over the entire facility. This impressive spectacle never fails to amaze visitors and creates a captivating atmosphere full of water fun and adventure. There are plenty of loungers available on a spacious lawn area for relaxation.
Baby Area
Of course, the little ones have also been taken into consideration. Here, you enter an island surrounded by palm trees, offering crawling and climbing attractions. Babies can splash around in small streams, experience their first sliding adventures, and explore water play devices. Additionally, Aquapulco provides separate mother-child areas equipped with nursing booths, changing tables, and a baby kitchenette.
Tropicana
For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the Tropicana in Therme Bad Schallerbach is the perfect place. Various saunas and steam baths provide an opportunity to unwind the body and mind and recharge with new energy. In the relaxation areas, you can rest and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.
As you relax in the soothing ambiance of the Tropicana, only an airy, 14-meter high, and 1,000 square meter winter garden separates you from the palm beach and picturesque thermal lagoon. When the sun is shining and the weather is pleasant, the roof is even opened to create an even more immersive holiday feeling.
What can you experience in Tropicana?
- Thermal Lagoon 35°C
- Colorama Pool 34°C
- Panorama Pool 34°C & Whirlyacht 36°C

For an extra dose of relaxation, there are whirlpools and bubble beds that pamper tired muscles and invite you to unwind.
Gastronomy and Refreshments
Aquapulco and Tropicana also offer a variety of dining establishments where visitors can recharge. From snacks and light meals to refreshing drinks and ice cream, there is something suitable for every taste. Considering the admission price, we found the food and drinks surprisingly affordable.
