Was my first time visiting this place. The price was decent. The pool was nice, but a little too hot for my liking. I enjoyed the soak I just wish I could have sat longer in the water before I had to get out to cool off. The changing room was good, just wish the showers would have worked a little bit better. But they got the job done.

My family and I went there today 3/7/26 6 adults and 4 kids for my special needs cousin’s birthday. when we arrived there was a few people we waited not very long we were trying to find out who we had to pay for and who had to wear swimmers and what not, the gentleman behind the counter (Guy we found out later is his name) was super rude as we were trying to figure out what was what (no one was behind us) so bad that 2 of adults would not swim because they would not be giving their money to someone that treats and talks to customers that way. But they stayed for my cousin. The pool was big which was nice but the amount of chlorine in there pretty much over powered the minerals that heal (so really it was just a big hot pool not a the healing water we had hoped for. But we stayed (mostly because I was trying to make my cousins birthday special and happy) The bathroom and changing rooms very small, out dated, honestly filthy, dirty diaper in one of the changing stalls. Just over all gross. But here’s really where things went south Guy was back by the basketball hoops and my 11 yr old Grandson was sitting in the edge of the deepest end of the pool with his feet in the water I think it’s 8’ deep and my Grandson was playing with a squirt gun thing and he tried to shoot me but got both me and Guy. I told my Grandson to be careful and watch where he’s aiming. Guy then walked passed me and as he walked past my Grandson he pushed him into the water (my Grandson can’t swim doggie paddle only) that’s why he only had his feet in the water. Of course we all said something because we were right there. He didn’t even acknowledge That we had said something, he just kept walking to the counter. First off don’t be touching other people’s kids period ! Second off You’re lucky he didn’t hit his head or any one of us had to jump in not that we wouldn’t have, but it definitely wouldn’t have been expected. it was bad enough for another person that was right there to also say something, and that person wasn’t even with our group of people. We decided then that it was best to leave due to the fact that this gentleman thought he could do whatever he wanted! As we were leaving an older woman, I believe she is the owner Was now at the front desk and my daughter-in-law and son explained to her what happened and she basically dismissed them. Until my son said this is technically a battery and we can get the cops involved. That’s when she asked for them to write their name and number down I’m not really sure what for but she did ask them to write down Their name and number. My cousin was so upset. He cried for 5 minutes in the parking lot as we were leaving. I had to get him back together before I could drive back to Boise. I definitely won’t be back. It’s sad because we’ve been going there for decades. I went when I was a kid and I brought my kids, and we stop at this visit with the Grandkids

Definitely worth the $12 to soak. It was clean, and I like that there is no roof anymore. I wish there was seating lining the interior of the pool — something to sit and relax on, especially in the deep end. Everyone was crowding the shallow end and wading pool, where there are tons of little kids playing around. I’d also be super interested in a dedicated time for adults only soaking so that it can be a much more quiet and serene soaking experience. I’d like to try an evening or mid-week soak to see if it is a calmer experience. Still, I’ll go back for the benefits of a hot spring mineral soak from time to time. Maybe I’ll bring a noodle to sit on next time, too.
