Galaxy, The Palm and Elysium

Facts checked October 2026 against the official site and the booking platforms. Prices and hours change: the booking page wins.

Therme is divided into three zones with different tickets and different crowds, and choosing the right one is half the visit. Galaxy is the water park, open to all and built for families; The Palm is the tropical garden with the thermal pools, for ages 14 and over; Elysium is the sauna-and-silence zone, also 14 and over. The upper-zones ticket includes all three, the basic one Galaxy only. Prices are on the tickets page.

Galaxy

It is the zone you see on entering: a big hall with sixteen slides, a wave pool, a children's lagoon with water games and a 5D cinema. The water is thermal here too, at 33 °C, which makes it usable in the depths of winter. It is loud, packed at weekends and perfect for anyone with children under 14, who can stay in Galaxy all day. A 3-hour pass comfortably covers an afternoon; with children who will not leave the slides, take the 4.5 hours.

The Palm

Through a glass door everything changes: six linked thermal pools, a swim-up bar, loungers and hammocks among some eight hundred real palms planted under the dome, and greenhouse light. It is the zone of the photographs and the reason couples come from Bucharest and abroad. Ages 14 and over, relative quiet, no slides. On weekday evenings it is almost empty: the best combination is an upper-zones ticket from late afternoon until closing.

Elysium

The third zone is a spa: a dozen themed saunas, from Finnish to salt and herb, steam rooms, pools with different minerals, sensory showers and a botanical garden with a path. You move around in a robe or swimwear, in silence, and the infusion sessions in the saunas, announced through the day, are the part regulars do not miss. Ages 14 and over; anyone coming for the saunas takes the full day, because three hours is not enough.
