Liquidrom: What Spas Want To Be When They Grow Up

This week we went to Liquidrom, a giant domed warehouse turned spa thing near Mockenbrucke. The entry ticket was expensive (17,50 for 2 hours) and later we realized we should have purchased the 4 hour card for 20,50 or the day card for 22,50 as these were only slightly more expensive. Despite the steep price, the experience was worth it: a steam room, a dry sauna, and two large heated pools were up for grabs. The largest of the heated pools was underneath the dome. Whale sounds and minimalist music echoed from the speakers into the water. Colorful light displays were projected onto the walls on either side changing the water from pink to purple to blue and so on. They also had free funoodles which we made thorough use of as there were only a couple other people there (we went around 2 on a Tuesday). The warm salt water made our bodies even more buoyant. I didn't use the cold pool as much as Schnitzel did, the water being just above freezing when compared with that of the heated pool. It was also less of a pool and more of a well being about 4' x 4' with a ladder leading down into the water. It resembled one of the rooms from that movie "The Cube." The bar tenders were very nice about checking our bracelets to make sure we didn't overstay our 2 hour limit. The outdoor area was also nice, if a bit warm as it was a hot day. We had to get naked to use the sauna and the spa as well as the cold pool which was okay because not many people were there. Schnitzel was surprisingly comfortable in his birthday suit. We didn't try the massages as they were even more of an expense and the entry ticket was a splurge as it was. We will definitely try to go back during the night, maybe on a weekend when they are open until 1 am.
