    We visited the Hot Springs several times, going in the afternoon when crowds had thinned out. Loved that there were 5 different temperature pools, something for everyone. The pools were large, the grounds were nicely maintained and clean. We found about an 1 - 1 1/2 hours to be enough time for us to soak, relax and head home for dinner after an otherwise busy day.

    We always have fun here at the pool. We were here for a large family reunion. We set up 6 pop up canopies and 3 tables full of food. Little kids have a lot of fun thins to do in their own area. We can come and go as we please. This works good when some want to leave for a while to float the river thru town.
    One note is that the website is very convoluted on how to purchase tickets online ahead of time. This is one of a VARY few websites hat won't let your purchase WITHOUT making a password etc. When I called the pool to ask about my issues the "supervisor" I talked to said "Yeah, I wouldn't know, I don't have to buy my tickets online". No help there. Maybe if she did have to she would see how bad it is. Maybe get some better IT people to make it easier to get tickets.

    We took a youth group up to snowshoe and tube. The youth loved it! The trail is great for beginners and all ages. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful! We hope to come back again!

    So pretty, so clean and uncrowded. We enjoyed the pools from moderately hot to lobster pot! Having been to Europe, I wish there had been a way to plunge into the nearby cold river too.
    The changing room was kept well and the prices are very fair.

    We didn't stay at the inn, but enjoyed the wonderful mineral water after dinner. Hosts were cordial and the inn looked like someplace we might stay. Not crowded, but quiet and clean. I'm guessing there will be upkeep on the decks during the warmer weather. Will come back here again.

    Right in the center of town, a small museum with multiple rooms. There is no path or order to the rooms, each one provides its own bit of history about the area and Idaho. It was informative and interesting, representative of a typical local museum. We spent some time pleasantly chatting with the curator, who knew his history and was happy to answer questions.

    A very nice facility!

    Heated floors around the lockers, and in the restrooms. The water was heated to a very comfortable temperature. Not too warm, certainly not on the cool side.

    As a lifelong swimmer, The facility and the water was top notch. The climbing wall is a fun touch, as well as two or three basketball hoops for water games.

    The facility is very clean. It seems to be very well-maintained. The ventilation is excellent, while you can smell a little bit of the chlorine, it is certainly not overwhelming.

    The staff was very pleasant. They were accommodating on some of the water toys, and very helpful to explain options.

    Looking forward to returning next year.

    An excellent ride guided by an experienced equine handler. The trail is great with changes in elevation and wonderful views of the mountains and overlooking the town. The horses were well conditioned to the trail and behaved with minimal extra help or encouragement. Get the 2 hour ride for the full experience and enjoy the trail conversation with some history and folklore sprinkled in.

    If I could give this store a 10/5 I would. I came in and bought some perfumes and now that I am at work I have never gotten more compliments about how I smell. Unfortunately, I live 3 hours away. I am looking into trying to get some shipped to me ;)
