Leisure facilities: | Experiencing energy with excitement and joy - this is the aim of the Energy, Education and Experience Centre (EEZ) in the Sandhorst district of Aurich. The heart of the centre is the interactive exhibition ENERGIE ZUKUNFT (ENERGY FUTURE), which presents the various facets of the subject of energy in an informative, playful and modern way and stages them in an impressive manner. In seven thematic areas, scientific phenomena can be grasped at exhibits and interactive stations and insights can then be deepened via the use of touchscreens. The central themes of the exhibition are the energy sources earth, water, sun, wind, classical energy concepts and future (social) challenges. The EEZ was opened in July 2015. Part of the EEZ also houses the "Nature and Technology Centre", a recognised extracurricular learning centre in the sense of education for sustainable development, with rooms for experiments and workshops and the Klaus Bahlsen Centre for Sustainable Nutrition (ZnE), which offers programmes and further training in the field of nutrition education and school catering. In May 2013, the new family and wellness spa "De Baalje" was opened. The bath has a sports pool, a multifunctional pool and a heated pool. There is also a separate children's area. In the outdoor area there is a brine pool, which is in operation all year round. During the summer months, there is an extensive outdoor area with a swimming pool and a children's area for relaxing. The 66 m long adventure slide is equipped with light effects and time measurement. It can be reached from inside as well as from outside. The swimming baths are complemented by a sauna landscape with four saunas and a steam bath. The carefully chosen, high-quality steam treatments promise pure relaxation. The restaurant facilities can be used by bathers and sauna guests. The Tannenhausen district has the Tannenhausen bathing lake with possibilities for renting beach chairs, pedal boats and bicycles. In summer 2016 the waterski and wakeboard facility "NORTH BOUND Aurich Beach & Wake" was also opened. This is the most modern facility of its kind in the region. In addition, the Wallinghausen district offers the Kraxelmaxel climbing forest with modern and exciting courses for all ages. Those who prefer to climb indoors can do so in the Boulderhalle in the Ostfrieslandhaus in the centre of Aurich with a climbing area of approx. 500 m², which was opened in July 2017. The new Aurich cinema was opened in November 2017 at Emder Straße 5. Six cinemas with 1,100 seats and the latest technology invite visitors to enjoy a visit to the cinema and choose from a varied programme. The Family Centre Aurich is a meeting place for all generations: a place of encounter and exchange - from person to person. It offers the framework for networking and bundling civic commitment and professional structures. Everyone is welcome in the Family Centre to benefit from personal exchange, further education and mutual support. |
