HOT SPRINGS FOR THE KIDS
Find fun in the rejuvenating hot spring waters throughout the state. Waterslides, wading pools and diving boards provide excitement for the whole family.
Glenwood Hot Springs, Glenwood Springs
The warm waters of the largest hot springs pool in the world simmer in Glenwood Springs. This immense pool holds more than 1 million gallons of mineral-rich spring water, held at a constant 90 degrees Fahrenheit – and that’s just one of the two pools available. The hot springs area is big enough for kids to splash and explore without disturbing other soakers. But the size of the site isn’t the main draw for families – Glenwood Hot Springs also has two slides for kids to enjoy. Families staying at the Hot Springs Lodge are offered unlimited access to the water. For more information, visit Glenwood Hot Springs online at Hotspringspool.com or call 800-537-SWIM. Be sure to ask about vacation packages and other deals, as many are offered throughout the year.

This 250-foot-long pool holds water that ranges from 80-106 degrees Fahrenheit. Catering to all ages and activity levels, this mineral-laden hot spring offers a water slide for the adventurous, lap pool for the workout crowd, a diving area, water-volleyball section and a wading area for younger children. And while the rest of the family enjoys the offerings of the hot spring waters, you can enjoy a massage at the pool’s onsite massage facilities.
