Discover the new tariffs of the Berlin bathing companies from May 2025: price increases and discounts for outdoor pools and indoor pools.
Price increase in the Berlin outdoor pool: Families in need!
From May 4, 2025, outdoor pool visitors in Berlin have to expect significant price increases. The Berlin baths (BBB) increased the admission prices for summer baths for the first time after eleven years, which will particularly strain families with low incomes. Entry to the popular Prinzenbad outdoor pool in Kreuzberg will cost up to 7 euros in the future, before that it was 5.50 euros. The new multiple card for 20 visits also costs 80 euros, an increase of 10 euros compared to before.
The Berlin outdoor pools are divided into different price categories. The cheapest baths such as the Marzahn Kinders' Bad and the Summer Bad Staaken-West cost 6 euros, while combined wheels such as the Olympic Stadium and the Wuhlheide cost 6.50 euros. The summer pools in Neukölln and Kreuzberg, both heavily populated areas, come to 7 euros, with a reduced price of 4.20 euros for certain user groups. A visit to the Prinzenbad also becomes more expensive by buying snacks - for example, french fries now cost 4 euros, which drives the total costs for a visit to 11 euros, without drinks or ice cream.
New tariff system and discounts
In addition to increasing the admission prices, BBB introduces a new tariff system, which is valid from May 5, 2025. The different bathrooms are now divided into three categories: the most expensive with comprehensive equipment, a medium price category and the cheapest baths. The adjustments have been implemented in response to increased operating costs, such as energy and personnel. Discounts are to be offered for less visited time windows to facilitate access. Tickets bought online also offer up to 20% discount.
In the new price structure, the day tickets for category 1, which also include the prince's pool, cost 7 euros (reduced 4.20 euros). For category 2, prices are 6.50 euros, while the cheapest baths, category 3, are operated for 6 euros. These include the popular children's baths.
various new offers
In addition to the new price models, the already established bathroom card system will be replaced by a club membership, which will be available from December 2025. This new membership offers the opportunity to use rechargeable test cards and enables the owners of volunteering cards to buy tickets at reduced prices. These innovations aim to make visits to the outdoor pool more attractive, while at the same time meeting the economic challenges of bathing companies.The changes in admission prices and the introduction of a differentiated tariff system raise questions, especially with regard to access to these popular summer places for low -income families. Many Berliners rely on the outdoor pools to treat themselves to a cost -effective cooling on hot summer days.
