HOTEL
Hotel bookings can only be made via the hotel ticket packages. You will receive a package ticket as a booking confirmation directly after your booking. You can easily check in at the hotel with your name and official photo ID.
The Hotel Van der Valk Moers is approx. 700m away on foot. The path leads through a park and can easily be walked in gear. Just watch out for slippery surfaces in winter!
The hotel parking lot is free of charge for our hotel guests. There are 12 Tesla Superchargers in the parking lot.
The hotel also offers free Wi-Fi.
ATTENTION!!! out of respect for other guests, no masks or helmets may be worn in the hotel lobby, at reception or in the corridors of the hotel!
The hotel rooms are allocated according to the hotel package tickets booked. The room allocation therefore results from the ticket booking. The room categories are allocated after the order is received (the earlier the order is placed, the better the room category).
DURING THE EVENT
The very large, free parking lot in front of the location offers enough space for cars to park.
There is a checkroom on site for a fee.
- 5€ Large bags over 40x40x30cm (e.g. 24MX bag, flat rate for check-in and check-out as long as the checkroom tag is not removed)
- 3€ small bags and jackets (per bag/jacket, flat rate for check-in and check-out, as long as the checkroom tag is not removed)
There are large dressing rooms on site.
The main floor plays pop music and dance classics, while the rave floor focuses on styles such as techno, hardstyle and other intense music genres.
The XGEAR offers you a photo wall. There are also many other activity areas with little surprises, mini-games and a holding cell for our tacticals.
In the location, payment can only be made cashless, i.e. only by EC/credit card. The sale of drinks on site during the XGEAR on Saturday is carried out by and on behalf of the ENNI Eventhalle.
The Beach Party can be attended with a separate ticket (even without an evening ticket). The Beach Party is also an 18+ event.
The entire non-swimmer pool of the ENNI Solimare outdoor pool, the slides, the bouncy cushion and the entire outdoor area of the outdoor pool are available to you during the Beach Party event. The deeper swimmers' pool is closed to Pool Party guests and reserved exclusively for our divers.
We give you the opportunity to complete a trial diving course during the pool party, including certificate and certificate. A certified diving instructor will accompany you the whole time and take you on a 20-minute trial dive in groups of two.
The diving equipment (compressed air cylinder, regulator, diving mask, fins and weights) are included in the price. The trial dive also includes a short underwater photo shoot, during which you can of course wear your gear.
The underwater photo shoot can also be booked by all pool party guests independently of the trial dive. In this case, you will be taken into the water briefly by a diving instructor and supplied with breathing air. You will then have the opportunity to take a few photos underwater and will then be escorted out of the pool again by the instructor.
The diving pool is also open to certified divers with a certification for a fee. The access fee also includes a basic set of rental equipment (compressed air tank, regulator, diving mask and fins as well as weights), a tank filling with normal compressed air and the underwater photo shoot.
