Entertainment & Activities

This is a natural, but developed hot springs 15-20 minutes from town. If you have never been to a natural hot springs, you should definitely try it! After dark, suits tend to be optional. Old Town Hot Springs is better for kids. Charge was $16 last we checked.

Great for families - there are pools for every age. Try the rock climbing wall. The extra charge / bracelet for the water slides is worth it. Charge is roughly $16-20 per person. LOCAL HINT: Try the free 'hippie' hot springs pool across the street, directly on the Yampa River if you just want a quick soak.
