Discover Himlabadet in Sundsvall. A unique experience to learn about its history and significance.
Himlabadet is usually open every day, generally from 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 or 8:00 p.m., although hours vary by area (pools or relaxation zone). It is centrally located on University Avenue; you can check the exact location and updated opening hours on its official website.
Admission is paid, and prices vary depending on whether you want access only to the pools or also to the relaxation area and Surfstream, with rates around 120-200 SEK. I recommend checking current prices and buying your tickets directly from the official price list.
To fully enjoy the adventure pools, water slides, and relaxation area, it is recommended to set aside at least 3 to 4 hours. If you plan to use the Surfstream surf simulator, consider adding an extra hour to your itinerary.
Opened in 2010, Himlabadet is a modern landmark for hosting Europe's first Surfstream (artificial surfing wave). It is the region's most important recreational center, combining high-performance sport with family leisure.
As an indoor attraction, it is perfect to visit in winter when it is cold outside, although it tends to be busier on weekends and during school holidays. For a quieter experience, we suggest going Monday to Thursday in the morning or around lunchtime.
Yes, Himlabadet is designed to high Swedish accessibility standards, including elevators, ramps, and wheelchair-adapted changing rooms. You can contact reception directly at +46 60 19 20 00 to arrange any specific needs.
The complex is very close to the city center, so you can walk to the famous Stone City district, known for its unique architecture. We also recommend a visit to the open-air museum at Norra Berget to complete your day.
Remember to bring your own towel and a padlock for the lockers (or a 10 SEK coin), although you can also rent them there. If you are traveling with children, check the height restrictions for the large slides before joining the line.
