Big family day at the Waldbad Günzburg
On Saturday, May 24, 2025, all visitors will have free admission. The new catering area will also be ready by then.
The Waldbad in Günzburg is one of the most popular destinations in the region in summer. The new bathing season started on May 11 and 14 days later a real highlight awaits visitors: the family day on May 24, which entertains guests from morning to evening with all kinds of attractions. This Saturday also marks the official opening of the new catering area.
Since the late summer of 2023, numerous renovation and new construction measures have been taking place around the Waldbad. The 2024 millennium flood and water damage in December in the “Esstisch bei Joe”, which was about to open, delayed the construction work. But in a few days, all the work will be completed and Stadtwerke Günzburg is inviting you to a big family day that starts at 9 am. What you can look forward to on May 24: Free entry to the Waldbad all day long. “We would like to thank our many bathers for their loyalty and the high level of understanding they have shown over the past year during the construction work. With our investments, we have made the Waldbad even more visually appealing and fit for the future,” says our Stadtwerke board member Lothar Böck.
The outdoor facilities were redesigned, and the operations building and catering area were rebuilt or converted. Despite massive water damage during the renovation of the restaurant area at the end of 2024, which meant that the entire floor structure had to be dismantled, among other things, there were no negative effects on the opening of this year’s pool season. Wood as a raw material is of great importance at the “Esstisch bei Joe” restaurant run by tenant Josef Fritz. Wood from ash trees that had to be felled on the Waldbad site in the winter of 2023 for safety reasons has been used in the 55-seat dining room, which is accessible all year round. Thanks to the great willingness of companies, clubs and private individuals, these gaps were closed again with new plantings. The wall coverings, counter, tables and benches of the new kiosk were made from the wood of the old Waldbad ash trees. More than 300 seats are available in the outdoor area. A mini-golf course and an extended playground with additional attractions will also be available again when the new restaurant and the beautiful beer garden open.
A highlight of the family day at the Waldbad will be Tobi van Deisner’s performance at 1 pm. The Günzburg balloon artist has been delighting people of all ages for many years with his hilarious and spectacular shows. Afterwards, magician Magic Martin from Germaringen will be performing at 2.30 pm. He offers lots of magic, fun and entertainment.
Goal wall shooting, a trial dive by the Günzburg diving club, a bouncy castle and information stands from PERI – the main sponsor of the family day -, the Förderverein Waldbad Günzburg e.V., Stadtwerke Günzburg and Landesgartenschau GmbH round off the special day at the Waldbad in the afternoon. The musical accompaniment in the afternoon will be provided by Radio 7 with DJ Chris Montana.
The pool closes at 8 p.m. and the family day ends in the evening in the beer garden. Günzburg’s Lord Mayor Gerhard Jauernig is looking forward to the Family Day on May 24 and says: “The Stadtwerke Günzburg has put together a fantastic program. Visitors of all ages will be splendidly entertained throughout the day and can enjoy our beautiful Waldbad. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed that it will be a sunny day.”
