pirbadet

Different pools make it interesting both for the young once and the older. The waves are good fun, the wqater i nice and warm. it has a big jump tower and different bobblebath. The big glas windovs allow you to stay in the water and watch the landscape outside.Ther is a resturant, but it has mostly junkfood.

We had a grea time here during our visit.Others have complained about the entrance fee, I haven't got a clue how much we paid. I just gave up monitoring money in Norway, no point as it would just spoil the trip. The view over the sea is a lesson to many water centres with a similar location, its glass frontage is spectacular. The slides and diving boards are fun and there is a 50m pool for those wishing to take things seriously.

This is so much better than any pool I have visited in London. And the view over the Fjord from the pool! Wave pool, dive platforms, Jacuzzi, slides, bubbles, waterfalls, climbing wall, sauna, etc. Really good way to spend an afternoon with kids in Trondheim

Norway's largest indoor swimming pool with the stunning view of the sea is really worth visiting - despite the exaggerated entrance fee. (Well, aren't all Norwegian prices a joke?) You can spend hours and hours swimming, jacuzziing, sliding, saunaing and so on. The caldarium is anything but hot - but never mind...

When I go to pirbadet I always go in the middle of the day as it is less cramped then.The fee to get in is high, and the changing rooms offers little privacy. The lifeguards don't do much about teens that shout and jump in to the therapy pool after they've had their swimming lessons, and this is a big draw back. Sometimes you can feel like you're invading a private party during these swimming lessons in the big pool and in the wave pool. There's no information on their website as of when there's many swimming lessons.The view from Pirbadet is fantastic, with Munkholmen and the fjord. An hour or two here during the autumn storms is bliss.

The facilities are very nice, with a lovely view of the Trondheim fjord and Munkholmen. The main swimming pool, which was described as 50 metres long on the information site on-line, was in fact divided into 2*25 metres, as organized swimming practice was going on. Apparently, this applies on all days but mon/wed/fri. It would be helpful to inform visitors about this before they pay 145 NOK for an adult ticket.

Our family has gone several times to Pirbadet. There's something for all ages, from the little kids' area to a wave pool, hot pool with jacuzzi areas and views over the fjord, big slides, rooftop outdoors hot-tub, diving tower and lap pool, etc. There are also two separate pools (the second is opened when the place is very full), which are usually quieter than the big main area. And there's a gym and sauna area, which I have however never tried.If you go on a week-end with bad weather, be prepared for big crowds! Try to get there at opening time, or go late.The in-house fast-food restaurant has some decent fish and chips, but you can also bring your own lunch.Entrance fees are steep, and the shower area could do with a re-vamp, but it's a good place to spend a few hours with the family and tire out the kids.

Nice choices of pools and warm tubs. A great place to be when the weather is not so great for outdoor activities. I like that they give a choice for people to bring their own food or buy in their canteen as most public baths in Norway prohibit bringing your own packed meals. There are ample dining areas, showers and toilets. The staff and lifeguards are highly visible. The only negative thing I have about it is that the public address system is not good. I don't think I had ever really understood any announcements clearly so I don't know if it is the equipment hey have, the way they speak or their set-up that makes it problematic. (No, not my language skills as I am pretty good in Bokmål). But I don't let this small thing be a turn off, it actually made me extra observant. Al in all it is a good family experience!

3-5 hours at this place is great fun for the whole family! Lots of things to do at this pool for all ages! Very recomandable!

When you don't have so much in winter, This is the best place for expending time with friends or solo. Or just for training. Wonderful views

A place for bringing the family for fun and water activity. They have a few pools, one wave pool, some heated some not, a few slides and a tower to jump off from.

This is a very nice pool, but is over £10 a visit which is ok if it is all open. Slides open about 9:30 too late for the Hurtigruten southbound ferry.

Fantastic bath with all you need for the children. The view over the fjord is spectacular. Minus for high ticket fares and poor cleaning of the toilets.

Nice recreational area for families with small kids. The park has 2 water slides and diving towers from 1-10 meters. There is also a outdoor Yacusi and a "junk food" restaurant..

The pool offers a stunning view over the fjord. The pool is good and has a few slides. But it's really expensive. There is a pretty bad cold draw when you go from the showers to the changing rooms.
