Glenwood Hot Springs Pool

If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing, spa experience, this isn’t it. It’s more targeted towards tourism and a family friendly poolside atmosphere than a spa. It was expensive, but it did provide you with reentry all day, unlike Iron Mountain. I was expecting it to be more of a luxurious place, but it did not feel so. The grill and snack bar reminded me of a baseball game, and the grill closed at 4. No alcoholic drinks were allowed outside the grill area, so you couldn’t sip by the springs. The springs were great, I enjoyed the mineral baths and how they became adult only after 5, but it wasn’t the experience I was looking for. Also! It does not have a lazy river! I thought it did from the pictures, but it’s actually a tube slide.

Spent 9 hours there... gotta get your money's worth. 😁 Went there with 4 kids, 2 adults. Spent 8 hours during the day, the returned after dinner for 1 hour. The kids loved it all... lots of varieties of pools, plus the splash pad, plus the chutes area. We had lunch at the grill as the food cart required a physical credit card and we didn't have one. Nothing was cheap, but we had so much fun!! Pro tips: bring your own towel... it costs $5 to rent one. Don't bother coming back with kids after dark, all pools are closed to them except the big two and interest level dropped and it was more crowded. Come early to get chairs. There are locker rooms on the second floor... less used, so cleaner.

So relaxing! This was our first time here and we weren’t sure what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. The water/air doesn’t smell of sulphur. The multiple pools with different temperatures and features allow you to choose which temperature is best for what ails you. The shower feature in the therapy pool is excellent for relieving neck tension. We were able to set up chaise lounges under a tree and enjoy the shade as we allowed our fingers to de-prune. We appreciated having the option of leaving and returning throughout the day if we had chosen to. It was really lovely and we’ll definitely return again and again. Highly recommend!

Wasn't worth the $30+ dollars that I paid for a day pass. I was done after 90 minutes. The water slides and kids area was closed (it's only open on weekends from 12-5)-kids area. The hottest pool was over 100°F. It was nice, like being in a swimming pool sized hot tub with waterfall. Seating was provided under most waterfalls. In the great pool they had special seats for neck massagers and fountains for shoulder massagers. There's an area in the great pool where you can do laps, and after that section there was another section with a diving board that was around 12ft deep. Plenty of friendly lifeguards too. The snack bar was closed, but there was another spot on site for food. No swimsuit? The gift shop has a HUGE variety of bikinis, swimsuits and swim trunks. The lockers are FREE.

Soothing waters. Room for everyone. There's a very hot temp area but the main area is warm, not hot and perfect for swimming, playing or just floating around. Lots of seating and lounge chairs. Two restaurants including a walk-up fast food counter..no need to leave for lunch/food. Really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience at a hot spring! It was heaven on earth! 10/10!! Worth every penny we spent and the facilities were so clean. We truly saved this as our last adventure before heading to the airport and back to Florida! Colorado stole our hearts with this spot!

Is this expensive? Yes, it is! Is it worth it? Yes, 100%!! My family of four paid over $200.00. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. The water is crystal clear blue and doesn't smell like sulfur. The river ride is worth the wait. It uses the spring water, so it's warm. We stay for over 5 hours. Next time, I will make sure we can stay all day. The big pool was a comfortable 92° and the smaller pool was hot hot but in a good way. They have great restrooms with showers, which included soap. Which smelled pretty good, actually. Restaurants were pricey, but the food was good. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent experience! I just went in the evening, I wish they had 1/2 day passes. After 5 the newer pools are for adults only which is nice. All the pools were clean and I saw someone testing the water often. Nice shower changing rooms with lockers. I only wish I'd brought my own towel. The ones they rent are the cheapest small scratchy ones.

Glenwood Hot Springs is pure relaxation heaven. From the moment I dipped my toes into those steaming mineral pools, all the stress just melted away. The pools are massive, clean, and surrounded by beautiful mountain views that make soaking feel like a mini-vacation for your soul. Whether you're swimming laps, lounging in the hot tubs, or letting the kids splash around in the shallow areas, there's something for everyone. The friendly staff and laid-back vibe make it easy to kick back and forget the world outside. Five stars all the way--Glenwood Hot Springs is the perfect blend of fun and tranquility. Can't wait to go back!

We drove the 3 hours from Denver to the famous hot springs pool for an overnight stay at a local hotel where we encountered hail and then snow. Despite the weather, the hot springs were warm and toasty. There were different temperatures of each pool. We didn't realize it was spring break week so there were many families. The changing rooms were huge with many benches and free lockers that had combination locks to store your clothes. You can buy swim suits ($7) and rent towels if needed. What was confusing is that the prices for the pools were listed only when we got there and even their brochure did not mention prices. I looked online previously and it was difficult to find prices. Our total for the use of the pools and one swim trunk was $97 which I felt was high. The cost is for a full day pass even if you only wanted to go for a few hours. Someone mentioned prices would be cheaper getting tickets online but we could never get into their website so I don't know if that is true. Parking was free and was next to the building but overflowed quickly. There's also a nice gift shop inside where you can buy beach wear. I would recommend wearing swim shoes and also a robe because you're walking around inside and outside. We just borrowed the hotel towels but bringing your own robe is better. The big pool seemed a little bit run down and probably could use more maintenance. The scenery was beautiful with mountains surrounding the town. We had a enjoyable experience at the spa and the town had several shops and restaurants.

A fun day for the family. My kids loved the splash zone and Shoshone Shoots. The adults preferred relaxing in the hot pools. I wish that kids were barred from the upper hot pools all day instead of starting at 5 pm because it's a bit chaotic with them splashing around. But overall it was fun and worth the price.

We were road tripping from Utah to Denver and saw this place and decided to take a break! I love hotsprings and when I saw this was the world's largest- we HAD to go! Personally I love it all! It was not crowded, so i don't know if id feel the same if it was. It isn't the natural/outdoorsy springs, but the fact there were multiple pools and lots of space made it feel less touristy. I think it would be fun to come back with the fam and vacation here... the gym seems awesome and im a swimmer! The tube slide was also fun! I really enjoyed this little rest stop, even though it was a bit pricey ($50 per person for a day pass). Realistically though, for the day and full access to the pools and kid fun until 10 pm it's not bad. Plus you can come and go! Id highly recommend this place for a relaxing day, family fun, or even a 1 hour much needed relaxation after driving through 4 states in 24 hours!

Rediculious pricing! Just passing through Glenwood Springs. Figured I'd try the hot springs pool but there is only one price. Perhaps management will consider a pricing structure that takes into account guest that would be in for only the evening instead of the full day price. I know of 4 guests you lost...

Overall a decent spot for hot springs which had a lot of good and bad. First the good: No problem finding parking, huge pools, "free lockers", drying stations, cold plunges, cute gift shop. Now the bad: Too many kids, the hottest hot spring pool was barely warm enough to make me feel relaxed in the freezing cold, entry prices were a little steep at $34 a person, not much else to do there.

We have been going here yearly as a family get away and it is always a pleasure! Everything is clean and well maintained. My family is always welcomed with enthusiasm and the staff are friendly. The new hotel in the pool house is exciting and I can't wait to stay when we come back. Typically we stay across the street and get a pass with the hotel. Highly recommend that!

Came here for a relaxing weekend and we were not disappointed! We came once at night and spent 1.5hrs then we came again the next morning and spent 2hrs. We loved that there are so many pools with varying temperatures! This isn't your average hotsprings experience, it looks like they fill gaint pools with the hotsprings water. We came the perfect weekend, the aspens turning yellow but it was abnormally hot out. Our favorite ended up being the large pool, because it was the perfect temperature for us. We also had alot of fun doing the cold plunge, it felt nice with the warmer weather. We worked our way up to 5 minutes and it felt amazing! There were plenty of lights for a night swim but it felt very romantic and peaceful. The water was clean and everything seemed well maintained. They added so many pools and the water fountains, that make for a great massage. They have plenty of free lockers for your stuff, showers to wash off and towels are included. Since summer is over some of the amenities are no longer available and they are not open as late. It was disappointing that the cafe does not sell ice-cream after summer, would be a nice treat after sitting in warm water all day. Overall it was a great experience and we would come again!

Meh. $50 entry fee for 13 years old and over and $33 for younger. Although the water is perfectly warm in this 50 degree weather IN JUNE!!!, not worth the $50. They have the lazy river tubing that's quite fun but that closes at 6pm. Towel rentals are $5 and you might as well dry off with a paper towel. Not much to do here other than that. This is a big ass pool but that's all it is, "a pool". So we'll see what tomorrow's activities bring elsewhere but not much here. At least we experienced the largest hot springs pool in the U.S.

Really fun spot! For the whole family! Clean, spacious, everything was open! Bathrooms were clean! Parking was plentiful! Also, super relaxing and various pools with various temps! Highly recommend! Especially the mineral pools!

"Hot Springs - SONG" - Island Mountain Pat. This would have been a 4-star since it was pretty pricey ($55 a person x 3 of us) but this was like an experience like no other, and the world's largest outdoor hot springs, so for uniqueness it gets a 5-star. PARKING: We walked over from La Quinta Inn, and this place is right across the street from Hotel Colorado, very close to Hotel Denver and I imagine walkable from anywhere if you're staying in the downtown area. PRICE: Daytime tickets for adults $55.00 a person, night rates are cheaper, as of March 2024 night rates were $37 for ages 13- adults after 6 PM. You get in-and-out privileges so if you want to take a dip in the morning, then come back after lunch, and enjoy the springs again at night, you can just stamp your hand and come back in. Towels for rent $4, Swim suits for rent $5 (yuck?). We just brought our towel from our hotel to save us $12.00 ($4 x 3 of us). FOOD/DRINKS: One Youtuber said you can bring outside food and drinks in, their web page says no. We didn't need to eat or drink when we got here, so we were good to go; they don't really check your bag when you come in but there are a ton of staff roving around, including life guards so if they see you eating something from home they may call you out, but I don't know how they would know if it's something you brought in or food from the bar. LOCKER ROOMS: Men's and Women's locker room on the 2nd floor. They have free lockers you can use via combination, so remember where you locked up your stuff! The lockers also have this mini spinning water extractor you can put your bathing suit in so you don't have to leave with a soaking mess. I didn't know about it until I heard a noise and a girl using it. You just put your wet swimsuit in and hold down the lid for about 30 seconds and it spins it dry. Showers, toilets and changing rooms with curtains available. You have to shower before you go into the springs, but again, no one checks, but be nice and shower. SHOSHONE CHUTES: They closed at 5 PM when we were there in mid-march. I read somewhere it was 6 PM but it was really 5 PM, so get there early enough to stand in line for it. I didn't do it but my husband and son loved it. POOLS: This is from the Glenwood Springs FAQS: "Our main pool, the "big" pool, is 405 feet long and 100 feet wide at the widest point. It contains 1,071,000 gallons of water, and is kept at about 90° F / 32° C, and features a diving area and exercise lap lanes. Our therapy pool is 100 feet long and contains 91,000 gallons of water. It is kept at a temperature of about 104° F / 40° C." We tried all the pools except for the shallowest part with the kids in them. It goes from shallow to deep, and on the deep end there's a diving board with sometimes obnoxious people hollering and screaming before they jump, kind of ruining the tranquil atmosphere. I didn't come to the springs to hear a bunch of hollering men. Water bubbled up through the cracks in the ground and warmed us pretty well despite the temps being in the 30's when we went. The main pool is pretty shallow, you can easily stand and walk the whole distance of the pool. We didn't smell any rotten eggs like sulphur as our friends did on a prior trip, we only smelled like chlorine (required by code). OTHER FUN FACTS: - Glenwood Springs Pool opened it's doors on July 4, 1888. - Famous guests included Teddy Roosevelt (stayed at the Hotel Colorado right across the street where the term "Teddy bear" was coined after a hotel worker gave his daughter a stuffed bear); the 'unsinkable' Molly Brown, Al Capone and gunslinger John "Doc" Holliday, who came to the springs to help his TB but unfortunately Doc Holliday never made it into the hot springs but died in the Hotel Colorado at the age of 36. - Doc Holliday spent the last 57 days of his life in Glenwood Springs suffering from TB. He asked for a glass of whiskey while in bed laying in the Hotel Colorado, looked at his feet and said "this is funny", and died in bed; not the death he imagined in his boots in a gunfight shoot-out. RETURN FACTOR: My husband said the hot springs was the highlight of his trip to Colorado. I voted for Manitou Springs town and my son said it was the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, so we all had our favorites. Next time we visit I'd like to visit the Iron Mountain Hot Springs, which is less crowded and mostly for adults.

Big pools, nice geothermal water. Different water temperature pools, massage chairs and fountains. Can do lap swims. Ok size changing room. Towel for rent for $4 if you don't bring your own. Love the massage fountains to release my tense muscles. Water smell chlorine which expected for huge public pools. Price is steep at $46 no discount for late evening. Parking is big but a long walk to entrance. Service is nothing to toot about but adequate. Have to give them a try.

Too many kids who run around and some people bring their own food and make a mess. Also, management never replies to email queries.

We ( 2 special needs adults& 2 adults) enjoyed an April weekend here. Our pool times were very enjoyable. Extra special due to the great lifeguards assisting us getting our special folks into & out of both pools I didn't get am guard but the pm guard "Lucy" we're both exceptional in assisting & monitoring Our safety & conditions. Well worth the day rate. Super clean facilities & friendly gate staff. No security issues Looking forward to returning.

This place is an institution. I love the updates and new mineral pools with the variety of temperatures. The locker rooms could use some sprucing up but that's not what you are here for. Friendly staff and a fun place to enjoy for the day

The pool is great but the phone number on their site goes to the Glennwood Springs visitor Center #. That is bull. Then, the price is advertised to be $ 38.00 (but may vary per time of year) leaving me unable to actually know how much a day pass is, and if it costs more on weekends. What crap!

You haven't truly lived until you visited this place in the winter and enjoyed the warm water as snow falls upon you. Outside of this genuinely magical experience, I really have no complaints here. Staff are a-okay, the springs are all different and pretty relaxing, and it's a must do if you're into water. Only thing I'll dock a point for is that towels cost $4. Cmon man. Other than that, I definitely recommend it

Lived in Colorado for over 20 years. Visited other hot springs in Idaho Springs. Doesn't compare. The establishment was clean. Cheaper to purchase tickets online. 7 different heated pools. The slide area was not open. The showers were limited to a dry soap. Needed other options, shampoo and lotion.

I had not been to this place for over 20 years. Wanted to check out the new pools and take my bf who had never been. At the ticket counter, the woman who was helping me abruptly stopped in the middle of my transaction and walked away, starting a conversation with another employee that went on about 5 minutes while a line formed behind me. I tapped my credit card on the counter a few times while wondering if she was coming back, and the other staff person said "Don't do that. I think It's rude!" I said, "really?" She said "YEA. REALLY." so- this had me going in with a bad attitude. I was interrupted and scolded by their staff before even getting in the door. The new pools were cool, I liked the new water features and cascades- very cool. I did become violently ill afterward- unsure if that had to do with the pools because my bf was fine- I may not have stayed hydrated enough. All in all, could have been a lot more pleasant if their staff didn't show such disregard and contempt for their customers who are paying $50 a head to get in.

Although it a little pricey, it's a very unique experience. This place doesn't just have a hot spring to sit in, it has slides, a splash zone, multiple pools of varying temperatures. There can be a faint sulfur smell, but it was mild when we were there and we got used to it pretty quickly. There's food and treats by the pool, so you can spend half or a full day here.

I love this place every time we pass through. Great place to take your kids in the evening after a long day of doing Colorado!

Had an absolute blast here! There literally is something for everyone!!! Completely worth every penny! Go early to make sure you have tons of time to do the water slides/rafting.

After traveling 5 hrs of winding roads and construction, we were looking forward to soaking in some hot pools. We checked in to our hotel and paid the $43 each( very expensive) The pool was 2 blocks from our room so we walked, it was a great walk. The lady at the front desk was very kind and pleasant. There are free lockers and showers. Towels are $4 each. Once inside we asked a lifeguard which pool was the hottest pool. He pointed to the pool which was crowded, we entered the water, unfortunately it was equivalent to bath water, we should of seen the signs, babies were in float tubes in this water so it couldn't be too hot. We've been to other Hot Springs and I would have to say this was not a good one. It was more enjoyable getting into the 52 degree cold water and then getting in the hot water, but still not worth $86.

Visited here for the 1st time over the post-Christmas weekend. My only other hot springs experience was the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, so I was very excited to visit this location. Check in was fairly easy and fast. My only issue was that we only got a hand stamp for re-entry and the front desk agent, Hanna said that if the stamp rubbed off we could not re-enter because they would not accept our receipt for proof of payment. This was a little anxiety-inducing given the amount we paid for a family of 4, but it was lovely experience nevertheless. My only other issue was the cleanliness of the ladies locker rooms. There were multiple puddles of brown muddy water in the locker areas and I did not see anyone cleaning during either of our two visits.

European jet chairs forthcoming. No reservations required; great for those of us who like to fly by the seat of our pants, on vacation! And I recently saw photos of a sort of water park, which I'll be checking out this fall. Have been coming here since I was a kid, and it's still a great vibe.

This is the worlds largest hot spring! It's also in a resort so it's very commercial but very pleasant. I had some time to kill and spontaneously popped in for a soak. You don't need to make reservations in advance so it was cool to be able to do it spur of the moment. A day pass allows you to come back as much as you want, but honestly staying the night at the resort would be a better value as it includes breakfast as well as free access to the pool. The large pool outside consists of one section that's ~94 degrees while the other is ~104. I stayed in the hottest one and was so relaxed afterwards. I swear it cured all of my aches and pains. The view is incredible of the canyon and mountains. Although it's commercial, it's so enjoyable and regardless of what kind of hot springer you are, you will love it!

I travel the I-70 corridor frequently and occasionally stop at the hot springs. When i went this past Tuesday nite with my friend and the lady said $97.00. $49.99 a person is ridiculous! Can only imagine what the locals think. When you should be supporting your community, you out price them instead! Also, for that kind of, the place should be a Winter Wonderland, instead, only 2 sorry decorated trees! What a shame... There are plenty of HS to choose from in Colorado.

We enjoyed both pools and the lap pool, diving board and the rapids (tubes)!! We needed special help with my father in law getting in and out of the pool, we wheeled him up to the walk in area, the ground is not even and the lack of help he almost fell, once in the pool there wasn't a suitable spot for him to safely sit. To get him out we had to flag a worker down to unveil the seat that helped lift him out, we learned that the "cooler" pool was better for him but still not east to get him in. The kids enjoyed this hot springs pool over the other one in town bc of the diving board, the slides and tube rides. The great thing is you can buy a ticket and stay all day. The mountains are gorgeous and it's a really relaxing place, just a lot of people, everyone comes out for these pools. The food, desserts and drinks are fantastic

Very crowded and not at all relaxing. Very loud. Dressing room didn't feel well tended but was not dirty. Lockers have the combination visible on the door, so belongings aren't actually secure. Very pricey for a short stay.

When in Glenwood, YOU MUST visit the hot springs! It's like an outdoor communal Roman bathhouse where you can socialize in the comforts of a natural hot spring. The hot springs are right under the bridge and in the heart of all the Glenwood action. There are 2 pools. One 98 degrees. The other pool is 104° is still just as good as a hot tub. The locker rooms are clean. The showers are hot. It's the perfect place to relax and start the day. Hot tip: Bring a towel, water and snacks. I found that I was so exhausted when I got out that I needed a protein bar just to have the energy to get to the locker room. There is a bar and grill too! It's a great activity for families, couples and individuals. Everyone!

We enjoyed our time in the springs thought it would be a different setting not a pool of hot water but it was a wonderful time and the water was so nice. Would definitely return.

We had a really good time here. It's $40 for a day pass. We have a dog so my husband and I have to go separately. Thinking of that now i wish we would have found a dog sitter or boarding place so that we can go together. This place is fun! There is a hot pool that has two sets of jets, one for your head and shoulder and the other for your back; The water temp is good and very comfortable when the weather was around 55-60 degrees. The big pool is slightly cooler and perfect for floating or swimming. At the deeper end they set up swimming lanes and also a diving area. I didn't see the diving board so sadly I didn't get to do it. It'd be so much fun! The locker room and showers are clean. I went right at 9am when they open and stayed for an hour. Then my husband came and stayed until 12pm. Like mentioned, we'd love to be able to go together as it's more fun. There seems to be a lazy river too but no body was on it. The whole place is pretty big and they are adding more pools. We'll def be back to check them out.

A great destination to experience healing, history and old fashioned fun! This was a second trip for us with 14 years in between visits. Love the updates. The rapid tube ride, the bath house, the different venues and water features - something for every kid aged 0-110. Weekdays are less crowded. Food and drinks were resort priced. Cabanas were clean and enjoyable. Shaded seating available. We chose the full day pass with in & out access to obtain food and attend to our pet as needed. The grounds are well maintained. The night vibe & glow is very peaceful. The rapids and children's venue are closed early evening. Lifeguards on duty, stationed at every water feature and professional (opinion from an ol' lifeguard).

This was my first time going to a hot spring pool and it wasn't all that I thought it would be. The water wasn't "hot spring" temperature, more so just warm. The pool is enormous and you get to have a great mountainous scenery behind you. I do wish the towels for rent were bigger and softer. The hardest part was getting out of the pool and feeling that cold Colorado air lol.

Really enjoy this place. Hadn't been since I was a kid, and was driving through and stopped spur of the moment. Very nostalgic! Water is still pretty fragrant so plan on using the nice showers after :) iirc, the back sprayers and bubble chairs used to be coin-operated, but now they're just on all the time for free which is nice. $37 per adult for the day with free re-entry, $4 towel rentals, and you can even rent bathing suits. Lockers are free. The water slides weren't on but we were there a bit later in the day. Diving board is a blast. Hope to go back someday after they expand the pools!

Now this place is cool!! I was not expecting how cool it was! We stayed in Glenwood springs and knew we needed to experience a hot spring. Many years ago I went to one, but it was a natural one with the icky bottom that is squishy on your feet, this was not like that! We were able to walk in and pay for 5 of us. We brought our own towels which saved us $4 a person, so bring your own towel. When entering they have free lockers to lockup your belongings which is cool and even changing/locker room. They have cabanas you can rent for the day but honestly I probably would only consider that during the summer months. Upon entering there was a lot of people but it doesn't seem that way because it's huge!! I mean huge! It's pretty shallow for the kids which is nice. They have a area where there is a diving board and that area is 12 feet. My kids had the time of there life and so did my husband and myself. It was magical/breathtaking! The views of the mountains covered in snow and the water is warm in many areas and hot tub like in others. The steam in the air, ughh I can't explain it enough. My skin felt so amazing and it was very relaxing! If I lived here I would buy a membership and go daily. I felt like I had a massage or a spa day after because it's so relaxing. The only bad part was getting out! It was freezing LOL! I will be back one day, but if you are in the area and don't try this place I feel bad for you because you are missing out!

This is a can't miss place if you visit Glenwood Springs. Probably one if the biggest pools in the country. Try and go when it's cold and nighttime to add to the ambiance.

People were friendly and very helpful. It was very clean and very busy. Get there early to get a chair. A bit pricey but all in all a very relaxed, fun environment. Pools were very warm and the mineral springs are amazing!

In the summer time the ice cream is the best I've ever had! It's a great place for the kids and for my husband and I !

The price of a day pass is 39.00, kids 25.00, no senior discount. Years ago this was a wonderful place to soak after a day of snow play or driving but now it's just over priced. Too bad. We are used to wonderful hot springs in Nevada and Idaho and the cost is minimal. What a nice reply I received for my made in anger review. I didn't realize it was now a type of water park. I imagine those with children might find it very affordable and a nice distraction to wear their little ones out. Perhaps you can add a Senior rate and senior wrist band for only soaking in the large pools.

Let's clarify something. Glenwood Springs is a public swimming pool with mountain views. It is not a true hot springs. So don't be fooled. With that being said, it's a massive long running pool with gorgeous views of the mountains. I went on a March afternoon and the water was not hot. Apparently, the HOT pool is not open until late spring/summer. So heads up! Since I'm visiting Denver, I wanted to get the experience. Upon arrival, you pay an entrance fee and can purchase additional items (swimsuits, towels etc). The pool was packed and started to clear out as the day progresses. But by then, the weather started to get colder as well. Stayed for 2 hrs which was plentiful.

I love Glenwood Hot Springs. My partner and I have a yearly membership to the springs and the gym. We both love it. He's a skier and the springs are exactly what he needs. If you've never been, don't wait. It's awesome.

The pools are beyond dirty. The smell is horrible, they have a serious sewer issue. For the cost is it not worth it At ALL.

Native Americans found this what they called a healing spot, was later reintroduced to the community by explorer and I'm glad they did that. I along with 8 of my friends were looking to just relax on our first day in Colorado and decided to visit Glenwood Hot spring Pool as none of us had been to any hot spring before. We had heard that it can get crowded and we took a leap of faith and came on Friday morning around 11. To our surprise it was quite empty. It has snowed day before so the aesthetic was on point. Steam rising from the water and the smell of minerals put us right in relax mood. Its large in size and has few lifeguards just incase you cant keep your balance in 4ft water. They have two pools and some water slides. True larger pool is about 90 degrees while the smaller one is a bit hotter at 104. You get free locker with the purchase and incase you didn't bring a towel, they provide one for $3. In total we spent 26 dollars per person and stayed for 3 hours. Well worth it. Chill vibe | History | Relaxing

Considering that Glenwood Hot Springs has been around a lot longer than Iron Mountain Hot Springs, I'm surprised that it hardly has any reviews compared to the ladder. It may not be the fanciest or most trendy hot springs around, but this place has history dating back more than a century. I've always enjoyed my time here. It's definitely busy during peak months, and slows down a little during non-peak months. The pool is huge and you'll have ample room to move around. One of the harder parts is trying to find a spot to leave your towels and items, but they do have lockers for more important items. There is a food and drink stand and I do believe that you can bring in your own stuff as well. There are lifeguards on duty and there are designated adult swim times as well. Overall, the city of Glenwood Springs has many appealing aspects and things to do, but the hotsprings is definitely a highlight.

Perfect spot for the family to get together and enjoy some family fun. We share some of the best memories of our family gatherings from the time we have enjoyed in Glenwood Springs!

If you're looking for a large hot tub this is the place for you, but if you're looking for the hot spring experience stay away. I've bathed in hot springs all along Japan and I enjoy how the minerals make my skin smooth and I don't feel dried out once I leave the springs. Hot springs smell like sulfur and this smells like another highly chlorinated pool. Driving in to the area I smell the sulfur, but once in the pool area it's just chlorine and dried out my skin. If you're looking to swim in a very large hot tub then this is that. It's warm so it's great for the winters.

Don't come to this pool if you genuinely want good service first of all this pool is nasty and they don't even clean the gunk under the pool and I've never seen them clean these nasty ass pools and they claim that they don't let food/drinks near the pool but I always see drinks and food in the pool not to mention the workers here are rude and ignorant and I've been seeing employees being mistreated a lot here. I wish I could give this homeless shelter you call a pool a 0 but that's not possible come here at your own risk these people are rude,ignorant, not to mention unsanitary.
