What Is the Galaxy Zone?
Galaxy is the “fun first” side of Therme Bucharest. The slides, the wave pool, the noise, the laughter. It feels more like a tropical water park than a quiet spa, but you still get the warm thermal water, the palm trees, the big glass roof and that soft, humid air.
You can move from indoor pools to the outdoor Galaxy Pool without ever feeling cold, even in winter. Kids run for the Water Playground, teenagers race on the slides, parents try to pretend they’re just supervising and then end up on the big slide too. It’s that kind of place.
If you want the relaxing, silent side of Therme, you can reach it from here. But if you’re looking for a day that feels like holiday, with water everywhere and plenty of things to try, Galaxy is where you start — and where most families stay.
Galaxy Zone at a Glance – Key Stats
- 16 water slides in the Galaxy area
- Over 1.5 km of total slide length across the slide network
- Tallest slides around 12 metres high
- Romania’s largest wave pool – about 560 m² of water
- Average pool temperature: ~33°C (thermal water, year-round)
- Children’s pools: around 36°C, so little ones don’t freeze after ten minutes
- Indoor air kept at roughly 29–30°C, so you can walk around in a swimsuit without shivering
Who Is Galaxy Zone For?
- Families with children who want plenty of water play
- Teenagers and young adults who go straight for the slides
- Groups of friends looking for a more active day at Therme
- First-time visitors who want to “see everything” in one zone
It’s lively. It’s not a whisper-only wellness area. If you’re coming with kids or people who get bored easily in traditional spas, Galaxy is the safe choice.

Attractions and Activities at Therme Bucharest Galaxy
Wellness
When the noise from the slides gets a bit much, this is where you disappear. The wellness corner of Galaxy is warm, dimmer, slower: Tropical Rain and Herbal Essences saunas with soft steam and aroma, the quiet Salt Library where you just sit and breathe, and the Oriental Garden Sauna that feels more like a calm ritual than “one more attraction.” It’s still inside the fun zone, but the whole pace drops a few steps.

Relaxation
This is the part of Galaxy where you go, “Okay, five minutes. No slides.” You sink into the warm Galaxy Relax Pool, let the hydromassage beds thump away at tired legs, or drift outside into the Outdoor Galaxy Pool and watch the steam rise. The Galaxy Family Lounge is where everyone regroups, the Feng Shui Park and Galaxy Horizon give you actual open space and sky, and the Galaxy Beach Terrace feels like a small holiday corner you somehow stumbled into by accident.

Food & Drinks
At some point, everyone needs something that isn’t water. In Galaxy you don’t have to go far: Greens Restaurant covers the “proper food” side — easy meals, lighter options, kid-friendly plates — while the Galaxy Relax Pool Bar is all about snacks and drinks you can enjoy without really leaving the water. Quick bite, cold drink, back to the slides.

Water Fun & Slides
This is the noisy heart of Galaxy. The Water Playground keeps younger kids busy with gentler slopes and splash features, while the big ones race to try all 17 different slides and argue about which one is “the best”. In between, there’s The Wave Pool — calm one minute, rolling and lively the next — where everyone ends up sooner or later, just bobbing in the water and waiting for the next round of waves.

Outdoor
Step outside and Galaxy feels a bit like a small resort. The Outdoor Galaxy Pool stays warm even when the air is sharp, so you sit in hot water watching steam drift off the surface. Feng Shui Park gives you real grass, paths, and a calmer green space, while the Galaxy Beach Terrace is all sunbeds and summer mood. Up at Galaxy Horizon, you get the open view — a quieter spot to just stand there, wrapped in a towel, and do nothing for a moment.

Activities
If you want to sneak a bit of “real spa” into all the water park chaos, this is where you do it. The Caribbean Scrub Beauty Ritual feels like a quick tropical reset, the Herbal Scrub Beauty Ritual leans softer and more soothing, and the Oriental Scrub Beauty Ritual adds that slightly richer, warmer vibe. They’re short, hands-on treatments that leave you with smoother skin and the sense that your day wasn’t only about racing down slides.
