About the event
On the east side of Ghent, LAGO Rozebroeken pairs a 50 m Olympic pool with a subtropical leisure zone. Kids get slides, waves, a wild-water channel, a warm lagoon and a water playground, and you can swim outside in a heated pool. The family bistro has a large indoor play area, and an outdoor playground borders the park. Over Christmas the usual hours apply, but the pool is closed on 24, 25 and 31 December, 1 January and 4–5 January. Tip: come on Saturday from 9 am or on a Wednesday afternoon, and book online to avoid the desk surcharge.
