    I'm on a multi-month road trip adventure and stumbled across Salida and decided to stay a few days. This GEM of a facility popped up; $14 gets you into a beautiful hot pool (100 degrees) and a cool pool for lap swimming. I warmed up (it snowed on my camp last night - ugh), did 10 laps, then warmed up again. Hit the showers, which are kept clean and new and include soap, then back on the road fully refreshed. I can't recommend this place enough - great investment, Salida! You got it going on!

    This place was a lot of fun! The hot spring pool in the back was hot enough to be very relaxing and at the deepest of 4ft it was deep enough to have fun with the kids. Having the cooler, larger pool with a starting depth of 4ft and going all the way to 10ft, was a great alternative. Extra options were a pvc volleyball net and beach ball for an impromptu game with family or strangers. The rock climbing wall was cool. There is also a small slide and small diving board. Family rooms are available as well as the expected locker rooms for men and women. Front desk staff (Molly) was extremely friendly and helpful. Lifeguards were a little less friendly, but maybe it’s because they took their job seriously. They still did their job well, which having 4 kids I prefer. The family deal on Thursday night was awesome.

    This is a great place for family fun or swimming laps. I was looking for a more natural and private setting... this is not that. The lap swim area is great. The soaking area has families with little kids splashing in the shallow area. The deeper area is nice to float but it also fun for bigger kids. There's a fountain, slide, rock wall, tons to do in the water. I saw a class schedule. The locker room was clean and had everything you need. This is a great INDOOR water facility for families and laps. Free parking. Super friendly staff. Great activity to accompany a ski trip.

    Used to love this place until I learned they poison the sacred spring waters with chlorine.... there are literally so many other options in keeping a pool sanitary.... do better....

    Lifeguards were rude and blew their whistle at every single thing. My kid is a great swimmer and I had to be in the pool with her at all times within reach. Also took about 20 minutes to check in. Otherwise the facility was nice and clean and best price for a hot spring in the area.

    Pretty standard pool but we had fun. I like that it was nice and warm and there's a big shallow area for toddlers. A little slide was fun!.

    More like a small rec center than a hot springs, but they do keep the water very warm by pool standards. It was nice as a parent sitting in warm water while the kids played.

    Really enjoyed coming here the day after hiking up Antero. The water is spring fed and chlorinated and indoors. Showers and locker area were clean too.

    First of all it is clean and it is a good pool, what I don't like is they won't answer their phone... like they're that busy, I've been there I've seen those people just sit behind the glass... You're not that busy that you can't answer the phone,and like I say to everybody nowadays if you don't like your job get another one. This job requires YOU to answer the phone and answer questions.

    I loved the place! There's a lap pool with cooler water around 80F with a diving board, slide and a climbing wall. My kids loved the slide! Then they have a leisure pool that's zero depth on one side, perfect for the little ones. The water temperature is around 100F. The prices were decent too. Kids are $3 and adults are $11. We are going there again today.

    We love the springs as a solid indoor activity. Kids area is wonderful, and I've liked all the classes. Always check hours as they're programming sometimes occupies the space!

    The pool area is very nice with lots of family friendly activities. The staff was friendly. The men's locker room was far too small to accommodate all the people coming out of the pool at closing time.

    The pool was great other than I got to hear the Karen life guard yell and scream at every one for just haveing fun....for 2 hours straight. She was I think the most mean, entitled, unhappy person I have ever been around.

    Came with the family, to find out only half of us could swim. We came to celebrate our son’s birthday, and he and step dad went in first. 15 min later I come in with sister and they said they are full for the next two hours. The pool barely had anyone in it. I guess we will wait until they are done and then finish our birthday outing together later. Huge bummer for a pool of that size to barely get used and turn people away.
