Donautherme publishes different closing times for the Erlebnisbad vs. Therme/Sauna:

– Erlebnisbad: daily 10:00–21:00
– Therme: daily 10:00–22:00

Key operational details:

– Bathing/sauna end: 30 minutes before closing
– Saunawelt + Therme: access from 16 years

Seasonal/holiday hours can differ (the site lists specific Christmas/NY dates for 2025–2026), so if you’re traveling on a holiday week, double-check the published list before you go.

## What’s actually inside (specific features, not vague marketing)

– Whirlpool: ~34°C, depth 1.3 m, area 13 m²

There’s also free aquagymnastics in the wave pool Tue–Thu 11:30–11:50 (outside Bavarian school holidays).

### Therme: textile relaxation with multiple specialty baths
Donautherme describes the Therme as a newer, modern thermal zone with indoor and outdoor water surfaces and several named features: Solebad (saltwater bath), Champagnerbad, a Thermenbecken with massage jets, plus a large textile steam bath and an experience waterfall shower.

(“Textile” matters in Germany: this zone is not a nude-only sauna space; the site distinguishes Therme vs. Saunawelt.)

### Saunawelt: seven saunas + steam bath + garden
Donautherme’s Saunawelt is explicitly listed as seven saunas plus a steam bath and sauna garden with pond landscape, with relaxation rooms and massage mentioned as options.

Named saunas and their posted temperatures include:
– Donausauna: ~95°C
– Zirbensauna: ~60°C
– Feuersauna: ~100°C (note: accessibility page flags it as stairs-only)
– Waldsauna: ~75°C
– Hopfensauna: ~95°C
– Finnische Sauna: ~90°C
– Saunanest: ~80°C
– Dampfbad (steam bath): ~45°C

Sauna water features include a movement pool (“Bewegungsbecken”) ~34°C and a sauna outdoor pool listed ~30°C.
Aufguss (infusion) sessions are handled via an up-to-date downloadable plan on the sauna page.

## Practical planning: pick the right “shape” of visit

### If you’re coming with kids
Two rules Donautherme states clearly:
– Parents/guardians are responsible for supervision.
– Children under 10 may only visit with a responsible accompanying person.

Their safety guidance also recommends swim aids for children who can’t swim confidently, while stressing that aids do not replace supervision.

A smart approach for mixed ages:
– Start in Otti’s Kinderwelt / Spraypark while younger kids warm up to water.
– Move to the wave pool (the depth range is published, so you can choose where to station yourself).
– Use the sport pool only if your group has confident swimmers (the venue labels it “only for swimmers”).
– Decide early whether you want the Therme upgrade—it’s priced as an add-on, and the Therme runs later than the Erlebnisbad.

### If you want a quieter adult-focused day
Because Therme + Saunawelt are 16+, those areas typically function as the “quiet zones” by design (and they close later).
A simple structure:
– Arrive near opening, do a light swim or float session.
– Upgrade to Therme for specialty baths + steam.
– Finish in Saunawelt if you want high-heat sessions and Aufguss.

## Accessibility notes (specific, published constraints)

Donautherme provides a detailed accessibility page. Highlights:

– Public transit stop around 100 m away.
– Six designated accessible parking spaces, approx. 50 m from the entrance.
– Entrance to the ticket area is step- and threshold-free, with automatic doors.
– Most guest areas are ground-level or reachable via ramps/elevator, with two explicit exceptions:
– Feuersauna in the outdoor sauna area: stairs only
– Slides: stairs only
– A mobile person lift is available for entering thermal and swimming pools (indoor/outdoor).
– Sauna access for wheelchair users is described as routing via the Erlebnisbad, using an accessible changing room and elevator to the bathing level, then step-free into the Saunawelt (incl. sauna gastronomy).

If one person in your party can’t do stairs, plan your day around pools/thermal bathing/sauna spaces first—and treat the slide tower as optional.

## Getting there (what’s confirmed)

A third-party thermal-bath directory notes access by car via major routes (B13, A9, A93) and that public transit from Ingolstadt Hauptbahnhof connects onward by bus to a stop named “Donautherme” close to the facility; it also states there is free parking on-site.
(As always with directories, verify any transit routing in your maps app the day you go.)

—

## Data checks and what might be outdated
– Prices and hours in this article are pulled from Donautherme’s own pages and can still change; always re-check if you’re planning around a tight schedule or a holiday week.
– The accessibility statement notes the site was last materially updated 22.05.2025—useful context if you see conflicting older summaries elsewhere.
