About the place

Therme is in Balotești, the commune that borders Otopeni to the north, on the DN1 about 5.5 km by road from the terminal and 7.5 km from the centre of Otopeni. It opened in January 2016 and has three zones. Galaxy is the family zone, with a wave pool, about 1.7 km of slides and a water playground. The Palm has thermal pools enriched with minerals, pool bars and palm trees, and Elysium has themed saunas, wellness therapies and spa treatments.

You may not bring in outside food or drink; each zone has a restaurant, and you pay with the wristband you get at the entrance. Children aged 3 to 14 are allowed only in Galaxy. It holds 4.4 on Google from 48,265 reviews.
