About the event
In the Sint-Andries district, LAGO Bruges Olympia combines a lively subtropical hall, children's pools and a wellness area with a warm lagoon. Three slides, a wild-water channel and a wave pool keep things moving, and you can also swim outdoors in heated water. On school-term weekdays the early afternoon is a 'relax' slot: slides only open at 4 pm, except on Wednesdays. During the Christmas holidays the pool opens at 9 am on weekdays, but it is closed on 24, 25 and 31 December and 1 January. Tip: book a time slot online, as desk tickets are only sold if there is room and cost €1 extra.
