Mineral Water Straight From the Spring
The spring behind the building comes out of the ground at 122°F and is cooled to 104°F for the sunken pool. Nothing is added to it but time. It's high in sulfate, calcium and magnesium, which is why it feels soft on the skin.
The pool is drained and refilled every night, and the private tubs are drained between every booking.

How to Spend a Day Here
The order most regulars use, whether they've got an hour or the whole day.
Reserve a time
Soak passes and private tubs book by the hour. Weekends and evenings sell out; weekday mornings almost never do.
Rinse, then ease in
Showers are at the pool door. Sit on the top step for a few minutes before you go all the way in.
Soak, cool off, repeat
Fifteen minutes in the pool, a few minutes in the cool room, back in. Water fountains are at both ends.
Sauna or massage, then soak again
If you've added a sauna or a massage, it comes in the middle. The last half hour is always back in the water.
Rest in the quiet room
Loungers, blankets and hot tea. Nobody is hurried out.
Stone, Steam and Spring Water
What to Bring, What's Here
A swimsuit
Required in the pool, sauna and steam room. We sell suits and sandals at the desk if you've forgotten.
Towels and lockers
Included with every pass. Robes can be rented for $6.
Water, and plenty of it
Fountains at the pool and a water bar in the quiet room. Drink more than you think you need.
Free parking
A lot for eighty cars beside the entrance, and the bus from downtown stops at the gate.
Weekday mornings are quietest
The easiest time of the week to get a private room without booking far ahead.
Winter is the busiest season
Ski days fill the evenings from December to March. Book a private tub a few days ahead.
Before You Soak
Do I have to reserve, or can I just turn up?
You can turn up, and on weekday mornings you'll get in. Weekends, holidays and evenings sell out most days, so reserve a time if that's when you're coming.
How long is a soak pass?
Two hours from your entry time, or all day with the full-day pass. Re-entry is fine on a full-day pass; your locker stays yours.
How hot is the water?
The mineral pool is 104°F year round, and the private tubs are filled to the heat you like, up to 104°F. If you're new to hot springs, sit on the steps for a few minutes first.
Can children come?
Yes, in the pool and private tubs during the day. The evening soak is adults only after eight, and under-fives soak free with a paying adult.
Who is a private tub for?
One adult, or a parent with a small child. Each room has its own shower and door, and the tub is drained and refilled between bookings.
Can we book a tub and a massage together?
Yes. Book the tub for the forty-five minutes before the massage and we'll put the two rooms next to each other.
The Pool After Dark, Seven to Ten
Low lights, quiet, and water that's warmer than the night outside. Evening passes sell out most nights, so reserve ahead.
