At the Hot Springs State Park, our two pools both offer family fun from slides to vapor caves!

Forgot a swim suit? Didn’t plan on playing in the water? No worries! You can purchase or rent a new swim suit and accessories at either pool! A variety of essential water toys are available from goggles, nose plugs, sunscreen to inflatable animals and armbands.

These indoor and outdoor pools are heated by warm water from the Big Spring with temperatures ranging at the pools from 94-98°F (34-37°C) to the hot tubs at 104°F (40°C).

At the Star Plunge, the “Super Star 500” is one of the world’s longest water slides, gushing over 2,400 gallons per minute down a flume that measures over 500 feet. The “Blue Thunder Run” is a 330 foot all weather hydro-tube that curves around a 60-foot tower. The “Lil’ Dipper” is a warm mineral slide just right for the little tots. It is open year-round on days that the temperature is above freezing.

The Native Americans and early pioneers all believed that the mineral water has special healing powers. Today, modern science has proven that there are many therapeutic benefits to the 27 minerals found naturally in the waters. Mineral water hydrotherapy is a treatment many patients seek on their doctor’s advice. The weightless environment that the water gives allows a person to work muscles and joints without the weight of your body. All of the mineral water is warmed by nature and is chemical-free.

Water jets and air jets give a soothing massage and for sun worshippers in the summer, the Star Plunge provides 10 special

sunning decks on the hillside overlooking spectacular Hot Springs State Park. There is also a tanning bed.

No visit to the Hot Spring Pools would be complete without a visit to the natural steam rooms. The “Vapor Cave” at the Star Plunge is cut into a mountain and hot mineral water naturally heats the room. A fountain in the “Vapor Cave” is formed by natural mineral water which overflows and creates the steam. The steam room at the Hellie’s Tepee Pool is just as spectacular!

You have the option of enjoying the mineral hot springs healing benefits at the free Hot Springs State Park Bath House. The bath house honors a treaty with Chief Washakie by providing free access to the mineral hot springs and is great for a 20-minute invigorating soak in the water.

These hot tubs – or lobster pot as Star Plunge dubs them – are great for soaking your sore muscles away. The temperatures range from 98 degrees Fahrenheit to 106 degrees Fahrenheit. The canopy at Hellie’s Tepee Pools over their outdoor hot tubs provides a nice shade for those really hot days.

Take your pick of one of our three pools for an all-day excursion or just a healing soak. You can also stay at one of the two hotels in the park – the Best Western Plaza or the Day’s Inn & Safari Club – both of which boast hot water pools for their guests!
