Pools remain open on public holidays, so if a cleaning session and a holiday coincide, cleaning will be postponed to the following day.
Ticket prices depend on age, costing 5 patacas for individuals under 18 and 65 or above, 7 patacas for students, and 15 patacas for everyone else.
Tickets can be purchased on the day at the venue or through online platforms such as Macao One, the Sports Bureau website and mobile application, with advanced purchases of up to two days available.
