About this spring
Utah's newest major hot springs resort (opened July 2025, operated by WorldSprings) on the Virgin River in La Verkin ~20 min from Zion NP — 32 natural geothermal soaking pools plus 16 mineral pools, barrel saunas and snack bars, split into family and 21+ adults-only sections. The water is piped from the historic Pah Tempe springs (closed to the public since 2013) — now the only way to soak in those waters. Fee: 3-hour pass ~$46-60 adult. 3-hour limit on base passes. Pricey; little shade.
Zion Canyon Hot Springs is Utah's newest major hot springs resort — a WorldSprings property that opened July 2025 in La Verkin, about twenty minutes from Zion National Park. The grounds hold 32 natural geothermal soaking pools plus 16 additional mineral pools, cold plunges, barrel saunas, and snack bars, split between a family section and a 21+ Premier Access area. The water is piped from the historic Pah Tempe springs, which have been closed to public access since 2013 — this is now the only way to soak in those waters.
Pricing works on sessions: the base pass covers a three-hour window tracked by wristband, with all-day access as an upgrade. The signature experience is the after-dark stargazing soak — an Evening Pass after 9pm Thursday–Saturday costs less. Bring valid ID for the adults-only side, where alcohol is served poolside. Expect little shade and real prices — this is a premium venue, not a roadside tub.
Directions & trailhead access
202 W 300 S, La Verkin, UT — from I-15 take UT-9/17 toward Hurricane/La Verkin.
Utah geothermal context
Utah's springs surface along the Wasatch Front fault system and across the western desert basins. Canyon sites like Fifth Water can flash-flood in storms and close under avalanche danger in winter; desert sites like Meadow involve long graded-road approaches through open range. Elevation changes of thousands of feet mean 'the weather' varies wildly by site.
What a resort site means here
A resort spring is a commercial operation: developed pools or tubs with controlled temperatures, changing facilities, and usually day-use fees or lodging packages. Expect posted rules (swimsuits, quiet hours, age limits), staff on site, and in many cases required reservations — especially on weekends and holidays.
Best time to visit
Year-Round (Best: May – October)Pool temperatures and access can change with weather and season. Outdoor ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly across Utah. Late spring through autumn offers the most comfortable road access.
