Zwembad De Fakkel

Nice place works great for kids

Good place to relax after heavy week in work

The kids had fun, lots of fun. But for me, as a parent only accompanying the kids, it was not fun at all. There is not enough seats around the pools, and to seat by the snackbar you have to order something. Ok... No problem... I was thirsty and could really use a Cola. And also in a few minutes, the kids are coming back from the pools to drink and eat something. So I sit by the snackbar and ordered only my Cola for the time being, only to find out that all orders below €5 are charged extra 15 cents when using a debit card. Ok... But then can I pay only after the kids return to drink and eat? No, you need to pay everytime you order. Not fair. If I'm charged extra 15 cents everytime I pay less than €5, you should offer me the possibility of not paying everytime I place an order. I hated it as a parent, but the kids loved and had tons of fun. Plus, the staff is very friendly and helpful. And for people like me that don't speak good Dutch yet, another plus is that most of them speak good English.

Came here on one the hottest days of the year (36 degrees!!!) and understandably it was BUSY! There was a long queue to get in but the entry price was very reasonable (€4.85 if I remember correctly). We had a fantastic time! 4 outdoor pools (2 for toddlers, 1 with a wide slide and one large pool), a large indoor pool with a "River Rapid" (it would be a lazy river anywhere else but this one sends you through with a blast!!!), multiple steam rooms, a couple of jacuzzis and a great slide! Well worth a visit if your in the area!

Great pool with lovely staff
