  • Not knowing what to expect, my wife and I traveled to Steamboat to soak our weary bones in the natural hot springs. What can I say? The combination of the cool mountain air and the warm water are simply divine. Lodging is rustic but upkept. You will camp under the stars, and cook in the outdoors.... more on TripAdvisor
  • We decided to go to the springs' last July. It was a quick decision and we didn't know much before we got there. The drive up the mountain was kind of long and scary (there were so many sharp turns!), but it was worth it once you got there! The springs are beautiful! We arrived at around 6, so th... more on TripAdvisor

  • I'm glad we can say we've been there but I won't go again. It's quite small (& expensive). The creepy crawly bug exhibits really scared our 8 yr old! The hands-on tide pool area is so very small - if more than a couple of people are viewing it, there is no room for you. The butterfly area is why ... more on TripAdvisor
