If you want to go with your family for a swim, you might be right here. A lot of things to do with different pools, a slide, hot tub etc. On the weekend always very crowded. The sauna area is very nice. Different saunas welcome you in a beautiful garden surrounding. one of the best saunas I have ever visited.

We visited this place on a recent trip to Germany. It is so beautiful. All of the landscaping was immaculate and wonderful. There are Fountains and flowers. Plenty of places to walk and enjoy the grounds. A very large Fountain highlights the landscape and leads to the Kaiser's Place which was built in 1703. Everything was so tranquil and peaceful. Loved this place.

well when I first moved here people told me how good the place is, but really you have to see by yourself. Don't expect a traditional zoo though! It is like a small zoo with no entrance fee (completely funded by donations). You get to see small animals like goats, Guinea pigs, rabbits but also bears, buffalos, deer and wolfs. A good place for a walk or jogging. Kids can touch and play with goats and have a plying area, it also has a cafe and restaurant.

Marta Herford sets standards. With its innovative and future-oriented approach it is a place where knowledge, thinking and creativity are combined with sheer joie de vivre. This is where questions about the present meet the ideas of tomorrow. Marta Herford is an internationally oriented museum for contemporary art with a special focus on architecture and interior design. Exhibition and education are at the centre of our engagement with art. At the same time we feel bound by the classical functions of a museum: collecting, preserving and researching. In all of this our focus remains on contemporary trends and developments, and is always inquisitive, open and experimental.

The most interesting part about this building is the architecture. Very elegant and at the same time playful and serene. From the outside as well from the inside it contains a lot of nice surprises and gives you something to explore and to be amazed.
They do offer Exhibitions on various topics so better make sure it is something of interest for you in there but if it iis, it is surely worth the 7 € entrance fee. Parking space is ample close by and the railway station is just 500 m aways.
For those of you who are interested in modern art and architecture certainly a must see.

One of the landmarks of the tourist area of the town, these are multistory towers that concentrate brine drawn up from below the town. The towers (which stretch for hundreds of feet) concentrate the salts, which is the founding industry of Bad Salzuflen. You can walk along side the towers at ground level or along the top of the towers, giving you a view of the town and the beautiful Kurpark nearby. Sitting my the towers gives you a breath of sea breeze, and you can even arrange to spend time in a spa inside the towers to take in the mineral salt laden air. The towers are central to a major shopping and restaurant area.

Bali Therme was the reason for our stay in Bad Oeynhausen and we were not disappointed. While prices are high, so are the service standards. Staff was more helpful than at similar places elsewhere and everything looked well maintained.
It is not only the great choice of different pools and saunas which make this a great place for relaxation. What really makes a difference is the Bali themed decor that is not just superficial but can be found everywhere.

We've had family over and one thing we obviously had to go to was the castle. We took the little train up there, as parking can be quite a hassle.
The view is awesome, especially if you take the climb up the tower. Not too hard, but quite a few steps.
It's a very nice spot to spend a sunny afternoon, have a drink or an ice cream with the kids. And the best thing, it's basically for free (except food and the additional fee for the tower).

an extensive spa. Lots of swimming pools, with different temperatures, and inside and outside. Similarly, a range of saunas. Outdoor Terrace with loungers for when weather permits. All included in one price.
You can hire towels and robes, but most people bring their own.
Mixed gender changing room but with separate showers and private changing cubicles.
