Thermal Park at Loipersdorf

Therme Loipersdorf:  A pretty big and fun place!

We did something today we've been talking about for a long time ... we went to the "thermal park" at Loipersdorf (Therme Loipersdorf).  I'm calling it a thermal park because it is a water park that is fed by hot springs below the ground.  The one we visited in Loipersdorf was east of Graz, almost all the way to Hungary (we had an idea to take a quick trip over, but we were having so much fun at the park, we ran out of time!).

Not having a waterproof camera, we don't have any pics.  The park has a variety of fun things to do, including:  water slides, water slides where you use rafts, indoor pools, outdoor pools (the air was cold, but the spring-fed water was warm!), not-so-lazy streams in the pools, a kiddie area with sand at the bottom of the entire pool (Henry's favorite!), another kiddie play area, a really hot pool, etc.  And this was during the winter, during the summer they also have a wave pool and some other outside features.

The kids loved it and we had a good time.  Our day was enhanced in that a friend brought her son and the kids played well together.  It was a long day that started with a trip out to the airport to pick up a rental car, but I'm really glad we went.
