Recently done a yoga class at Aurora and it was excellent. I’ve also done a few of the virtual sessions like breath-work and mobility which are surprisingly good. Only downside is not many people go to the virtual sessions and I enjoy an atmosphere and potential to meet likeminded people.

Pool itself is fantatic, slides and wave pool is a fun experience, however i can only give 3 stars on the basis that there was zero respect shown by others for the people around them.. trying to push and walk through others instead of respecting the people around them. It lets this place down.

I live abroad and came home for a visit with my children. I decided to come to Bangor pool Thursday 13.3.26 @ 3pm to find out the slide area is closed weekdays. So we went to the normal pool to not disappoint the kids. So I had to purchase arm bads for both girls costing £18 The changing facilities were not clean and smelled like urine. The pool was cold so my 2 year old only stayed in for 5 mins as she was freezing. My 3 year old stayed in for 30mins as she was cold also. When I brought her out to get heated up in the shower the water in the showers was cold. I let a memeber of staff know. He didn't seem overly surprised. Rather disappointed.

You’ve got a bright pool area, a well-equipped gym, and a soft play space where you stay with the kids. After your session—whether swimming or working out—there’s also somewhere on-site to grab a coffee or snack, making it easy to wind down or refuel before you head out. It’s a well-rounded, family-friendly spot!
