The popular water park The Reef in Fredrikshamn, Denmark, has been temporarily closed since a rat was spotted inside the pool on Saturday.
We had a rat here on Saturday. We're taking no risks, so we've closed until Friday, says a spokesperson for The Reef.
Anticimex is involved and fifty people are working to locate the rat.
We're checking sewers, we're checking everything.
Several vacationers who had planned to visit the water park were met with the news of the closure and were disappointed.
The hotel's director Marianne Bredevang writes to Göteborg-Posten that they have tried to compensate guests with food, admission to another pool, and gift cards for hotel stays.
Saturday's rat sighting was, according to Marianne Bredevang, the second in two weeks, and rats are "obviously not guests we want to have". There is still no notice about the closure on the water park's website.
