Zion Canyon Hot Springs

Ways to explore

It’s recommended to reserve your tickets in advance, regardless of the time of year or how long you plan on staying. Entry lasts for three hours from your reserved time, though you can upgrade to full-day access, which also allows re-entry throughout the day. There are two ticket types: Select Access, which includes entry to the family-friendly areas of the springs; and Premier (21+), which includes entry to both the family areas and the adult-only pools. Prices vary depending on whether you visit during off-peak times or peak/holiday times.

Accessibility

The facilities are fully wheelchair accessible, with multiple ADA-compliant pools and cold plunges.

Age limits

None, though kids under the age of 15 require adult supervision.

What to pack

Water bottle (there are refill stations throughout the site), valid government-issued ID if visiting the 21+ pools, sunscreen, credit cards (it’s a cashless property)

What to wear

Proper swimwear is required, so no pajamas, underwear, or other clothing deemed inappropriate by the staff are permitted in the pools. Be sure to remove all jewelry before entering the pools to prevent damage.

Not allowed

Outside speakers, coolers, running or excessive noise, glass containers

Amenities

Locker rooms, showers with bath products, swimsuit dryers, complimentary towels, cafés, Finnish saunas, fire pits

Address

The Zion Canyon Hot Springs are located a few miles away from the main entrance of Zion National Park. You can drive to the springs from Las Vegas (about two hours) and Salt Lake City (four hours), as well as many smaller cities in Utah.

Public transportation

There is no public transportation directly to the hot springs.

Best times to visit

For a more peaceful experience, visit right when the springs open at 10am. The property stays open until midnight on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, offering the unique chance to soak under the moonlight.

Best days to visit

Midweek tends to be less crowded than weekends. The springs are closed on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.

Best months to visit

The springs are a year-round attraction, as the cold plunges are great in summer and the heated pools are great in winter. Note that the facilities close due to extreme weather such as lightning and hail—if this happens during your visit, you’ll get a voucher for one free return within 60 days (no refunds).
