Buy your tickets in advance because of the capacity.
If you like quiet relaxing time, recommend going in the morning. The night crowd is more boisterous including a guest playing their own music.
Locker rooms were very nice and they had plastic bags for swimsuits after.
The pools being varied temperatures made it such an enjoyable experience since we stayed a lot longer because we could easily warm up or cool down if needed. The mixed drinks came in iron mountain branded aluminum solos which were meant to be recycled but honestly were a fun silly souvenir.
If you get the all day pass re-entry is super easy with wrist bands.
Amazing winter get away spot.

Wow...this place was Amazing! So clean. The food and drinks were really yummy. Loved that there was a 21 and over section. John served us on the non 21 and over side and he was an absolute delight. The cold plunge was refreshing. And the shower/bathrooms were so clean and fully stocked. Can't wait to go back!
I went at 7:25pm on a snowy cold night and it was magical. I tried every pool in the general area and stayed until 10pm. The price for general entry was worth it. It was busy, but not crowded and getting checked in was very efficient. Kudos to the front desk.
I brought a robe and wished I had brought crocks or similar. My feet got cold standing to order drinks. They are doing what they can to keep ordering warm.
My towel froze once, but I had a bag with me and if i kept it in there between soaks it was fine.
They have a great selection of beverages and food at fair prices.
Locker rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were so polite and informative.
Other guests talked a lot. One pool was religious talk another environmental and another various hot springs around Colorado. I also was in tubs alone and found quiet. So there’’s variety, a diverse crowd, and some that clearly visit as a Friday night date spot.
Other notable positives: how great the sound system is I loved hearing different music in different areas. I loved the pathways that must be heated to keep the snow off. I loved the river flowing by. The blue lit trees look magical in the snow and steam!! The big pool and hot tub with jets were also very nice. Quartz pool was my favorite.
The only negative is the glaring reminder of Petco and other businesses across the way. Once some trees grow in and there’s break up that will help keep the sanctuary vibes high.
Thank you for such a magical place. The care and attention that shows!

Staff was super friendly. I’d recommend the all day pass over anything else. 21+ area is honestly super worth it. All the food is outside. 10/10 recommend this hot spring. The Mountain View all through the day, sunset, and night time is super beautiful.
Very nice relaxing hot springs. There are two options here a general area and the world pools. The world pools are is 21 and over only. If you can I would recommend doing the world pools. There were multiple other pools/springs based on the mineral content of other countries. And each one was unique with each pool have gravel bottoms. As a person that has a hard time relaxing and sitting still this was the only place I was able to. In the general side it was more crowded and each pool feels the same. Just a different temperature. What this place is missing is the ability to offer massages, that would bring this place up to top notch.
Today we went to Iron Mountain for the first time and we are SOLD! It's so wonderful! I would recommend - 1) book in advance 2) we are here in November - bring a robe or buy one of theirs, and bring footwear or buy slippers - cement can be cold!
Okay - final advice, if youbare coming without kids, splurge for the pass for 21 and over pools! You enter a separate section and no kids, and you have that many more to pick from tonget away from over crowded pools.
I love the set up - lots of different pools of varying temperature, some have rocks at the bottom - we loved that! Many are facing the river, right next to it. It's beautiful and relaxing! I can't wait to come back!

I cannot say enough about this place. It is just phenomenal! We spent most of our time in the 21 and over section. Each pool has different "healing" properties and there's even a cold plunging pool (55f). The temps of the pools range from 94-106F. The Japanese pool was my favorite. Some have loose river pebbles as the floor which is fantastic. We did not eat there but had drinks and they're decently priced. It was 27F when we were there but you really didn't feel it at all. Will definitely go back in the winter when there's snow on the mountains.
WORTH THE TRIP!
I highly recommend the adult only section, the pools are bigger and provide you with more information on the benefits of each hot spring. Additionally there is a bar for that section and bathrooms. Would recommend only grabbing one of your towels when you first enter and grabbing your other towel when you are done. Brining a bathrobe would be a great idea and whatever shoes you bring make sure you’re okay with them getting wet. Also would be a good idea to bring your own water bottle!
It can be very crowded around sunset. I wish they limited the access a little more.

What a beautiful day. We purchased the three hour tickets to the adult only section and it was quiet, relaxing and the view of the river was great. Reading the minerals used in each of the pools was interesting and we felt great after our time there. Locker system and very clean. It was a cool fall day. Would love to be there when it snows!
A friend told us about Iron Mountain and we were so glad he did.
My husband and I loved everything about this place! We arrived right at 9am and the parking lot was not full yet.
Iron Mountain is so clean and from the moment we entered it was a spa-like experience for us.
We purchased tickets in advance and chose the 9am-12pm package which was the perfect amount of time to enjoy all of the 10 world experience pools. We appreciated the 21 plus area, it was quiet and calm, relaxing.
Though we did not eat at the cafe, the menu looked amazing and we saw several people enjoying their meals and cocktails. Bonus, they provided towels and had water stations.
We will be back next time in Glenwood Springs!

We visited at 15.30 on a Wednesday afternoon and opted to go for the Upriver upgrade, there was plenty of free parking available when we arrived. You get two towels and locker access included in the price of the ticket. It wasn’t too busy at all, I’d say there was probably only 2 people in each of the pools (they are about the size of 2 big hot tubs). When we left at 18.30 it did appear to be getting a bit busier. It was worth paying the extra to access the upriver area, as it was a bit nicer than the general area and each of the themed pools seems to have some different minerals added to the water, the cold plunge pool was a fun addition also. Water coolers are available although they put them on top of the bins which we thought was a bit weird. There are loungers and chairs to use/leave your towels on! The location is beautiful, by the river and surrounded by the mountains. You see the occasional train and can hear a bit of road noise but it didn’t affect our experience. The pools vary in temperature and there are two bigger normal temperature pools to use if you want a break from the hot water! We opted to visit here over the other hot spring as it seemed less busy/full of kids and was a much newer facility. Overall it’s a lovely, relaxing way to spend an afternoon and good value for money.
This place deserves an award. Super clean!!
The atmosphere was very relaxing and enjoyable. The place seems very family friendly but definitely an older crowd. We got there in the morning which was perfect because it was less crowded. The parking lot was empty and the springs were empty, not over crowded, so we were able to have nice conversations and relax. We sat at the spring close to the river, it had pebbles at the bottom of it which felt really good on our feet. It had amazing views! The water was always warm and there was a guy that worked there he comes every so often and check on the temperature of the spring to Make sure it’s the right temperature.
