Family had a blast enjoying the hot springs water ... seems a little more geared to an older crowd... could use a little more cleaning

I would give pool staff 5/5. I give pool management 1/5. The hours change on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. I've shown up a few times now and they've been closed, despite google saying they are open. A friend has called them in the morning and has been told they are open, only to be closed when we get there. They shut the pool down for weeks for "renovations" which from what I can see was repainting some of the walls and replacing a toilet in the women's washroom (the men's washroom still has a broken shower that is on constantly). It is obvious they did not pressure wash the pool itself so I don't know what weeks of renovations included. The resort should give up the pool to the town. read more

Wanted to stop by some hot springs on the way home. Front desk staff stated they didnt run a website but a site we found containing their information was misleading. Hours werent listed, temperature of the pool was off (definitely not 104 °F as seen online) so Im posting the newest working hours as posted on the building as of 10/14/19. Pool was quiet since we went in the morning. However, VERY DIRTY.. lots of hair/ hair balls in the water. it is $10 per person just for the entrance, everything else is extra $$: towel rental is $4+, locker rental, etc.. After a trip to other maintained hot springs in bc and alberta for less $$, I would say this pool is not anywhere near good value for the $$. read more

Harrison Public Pool - Hours, prices/cost/entrance fee - Swimming Pools Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

We wanted to take a soak in the pool and couldn't find their hours of operation on the Harrison Public Pool website. Had to find any information on third party websites that gave different hours of operation. One said open Sat from 10am-3pm, and another said open from 9am-9pm. Decided at least that it was open on Sat so we took the trip and on the front door of the building found out that it wasn't open. Three other people arrived about the same time and were also disappointed to find out it was closed. Found out this info: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g154931-d5955059-r203844577-Harrison_Hot_Springs_Public_Pool-Harrison_Hot_Springs_British_Columbia.html read more

Rejuvenating mineral springs pool, lots of lockers,change stalls,and a shower facility. Even if u only experience it for 20 minutes it is a gr8 way to de-stress, unwind and just be mindful and in the minute. I cannot however, get my head ( or nose rather ) around that sulphur-like scent that permeates the hot spring pool. Security has improved since my last visit and prices remain cost - effective.

Harrison Public Pool - Review to b available soon! Thx 4 ur patience. foodieatlarge.yelp.ca btw: Happy New Year! - Swimming Pools Near Me - Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia

Not the best hot spring in town however the staff at front desk are excellent My bf and I went there and the front end staff gave us info and secret tips to fully enjoy Harrison hot springs Without there knowledge of the town and resort in it I would have had the worst time there Not so because of the three young men at the front desk Kudos gentlemen read more

I will give this place 3 stars simply because it's something to do in an area without much in the way of indoor activities. There isn't anything to this place other than the pool itself, which is why I would say that an actual hot tub or sauna would add some value to the experience. And it's more of a soaking pool as it's too awkward to try and swim laps too, so expect more of a low key experience than "swimming". We went, spent a couple hours and then moved on. Upside is that the change rooms were clean, and they had cups and a water fountain to stay hydrated. read more

Nice indoor pool. Make sure you are looking at photos of public pool and not Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. They do not allow public in their pools. The phone number posted on Yelp for the Public pool is incorrect as it is the Resort and Spa. We enjoyed downtown and a soak in the public pool. read more

In many hot spring spas, you can either pay to use the waters or, if you're up for a little spring hunting, go pinpoint the actual source and enjoy the waters for free. The Harrison Public Pool is a good example, although I've done it elsewhere. The public pool costs $10 CAD, is heavily chlorinated (as it must be), and a lukewarm 74 F because it's been piped from the true source some distance away. At the natural source you can enjoy the 140 F waters for free, where they issue from a fault along the mountain front, on public land. You can adjust your position in the pool to the actual temperature you prefer. The springs have a strong sulfur odor and some muck but that's what true hot springs are like. So if you're adventurous and want to enjoy the real thing, save your money. Walk along the municipal trail to the west of the downtown area, to where you see the pink Moorish looking structure, about a half mile distant. On the far side of the building you'll see a white plastic PVC pipe with the hot water blasting into a rocky pond. read more

This public pool provides affordable access to the Harrison Hot Springs. We visited here on 6/1/13. We were camping at Sasquatch Provincial Park so there was an added benefit to using the public pool. All guests are required to shower before entering the Hot Springs, and this shower is included in the $9 per adult entrance fee. This shower is pretty nifty if you have been camping without the benefit of running water. Throughout the pool there were varying degrees of heat or warmth. The $9 will let you soak for however long you wish to soak. After about two hours we emerged, relaxed and clean. We both really enjoyed our visit here! read more

Great to relax, work out the kinks from life. The pool is a little dated but is cheaper then physiotherapy and the whole family can go. It just makes you mellow, we stayed for 2 hours alternating getting out and relaxing on the many chairs and deck chairs available. Just drink lots of water would be my only caution. It's good " clean" fun read more

This is a beautiful place! Family oriented. We really enjoyed and got our money's worth!

On October 11 my husband and I drove an hour to have a soak in the mineral pool. We stopped for dinner on the way which unfortunately took longer than we wanted so we got into the pool with just under an hour to enjoy the facility. We paid the full price for a ticket but I don't feel we got a proper experience. The staff turned off the hot water to the pool twenty minutes before closing and then we felt pressured to get out of the pool before closing when we were reminded by the young man that they were about to close. Maybe because we were the only two people in the pool they felt it was ok to hurry us along? That was not cool because the closing time was listed as 8:00 pm and we should have been able to enjoy it until 8:00. I feel we were short changed even though we paid full price. It made me think the two young staff members just wanted to get off work early. read more

Pity the owner could have done so much better to make this a real nice indoor / outdoor pool, it right facing the lake has breathtaking views, instead, we paid $10/head to be in the so dated enclosed building. The owner owns this public pool also owns the resort near by, they own the hot springs period, monopoly​ to be exact, the way they manage the resort to somehow "overall good enough" and getting maximum profits, IMO overpriced (hard to argue this one cause there is no competition), I have traveled quite a few hotspring destination in Asia, stay in some wonderful hotspring scene hotels, this is probably the worst one and frankly quite waste of all these (hotspring, beautiful lake and mountains.. etc). read more

I live in the area and like to go to the Harrison hot springs public pool. It is a little expensive for a senior. I like that the water is warm and not hot like most hot pools as for older people and young kids you can stay in longer and enjoy a good long soak. Not feel weak when you get out. Get your moneys worth. Nice view of the lake. Clean and well kept up. read more

Nothing has been updated to this pool, costs over $10 to get in, which would be fine if the place was better looking. The young staff have no Customer Service skills, quite rude in a way, not polite, not a smile. Brought in my hairdryer but no plugs working and the hand dryers have little power and only one by the way, The bathrooms were very dirty with hair all over the floor. read more

Def nostalgia. Over the years I've been here 5 times. It needs reno. Especially the showers. Extreme low water pressure made the women's showers slow. 3 total but takes one 3x longer than normal. It was a Saturday afternoon and the pool was quite. The temperature was not as hot as I remember. There was no smell of sulphur present like it use to. It was relaxing. My kids had fun in bath water for a few hours. Make sure you bring a water bottle to rehydrate. Pop out every 10mins as recommended. I give it a 2 because they are overdue for reno. If they do it can surely be more popular. read more

It's about what one would expect for a small town. No real wow factor but serves the purpose

The public pool is out of my expectation! Although is equipment is kinda outdated, but the overall environment is clean and neat. Water temperature is kinda low though (not as high as my hot tub at home) read more

This is a "retro" pool. It is ranges in temperature and is perfect after a long day. It was the lack of rules that irked me. Patrons were swimming in T-Shirts and skirts. One lady had a blouse and knee length jean skirt on. Street clothes just aren't hygienic. Patrons were also eating corn on the cob and pineapple on the pool deck. read more

In short the water is great, warm and relaxing. The building looks like some government building out of the 50's and inside is no better. But then if you are there for the water just close your eyes and relax. You could be anywhere. They say the waters have healing powers and while I always feel better after a dip I can't say that I am healed but then I wan't sick to start with. Its a great alternative to the resort if your staying over night at one of the motels or the Harrison Heritage House B&B a block away. read more

They may claim this is direct from the hot springs but having visited pools that are linked to hot springs in other places, this one is really mediocre. Looks and feels like a regular swimming pool. No ambiance or relaxation as one gets from trus hot sping pools. Save your money and time and to go to a real spa. read more

I love hot springs ! Here the water is delivered into a pool with seats all along the sides & it goes about four feet deep . It is old fashioned with interesting tile . Good for kids if they are well behaved . Showers are very old & located in a walkway . I like an unpretentious soak . Reasonably priced . 26 bucks for a family of 3 . Buy a bag of ice & plastic cups at the corner store . There is a water fountain inside . View of the lake & kids playground .Lockers are outdated .You are permitted to bring your items on deck . Clean but older facility . read more

I felt like there is need to write this out. The public pool is just really going down hill. The owners don't seem to care about this public pool and want you to go to the hotel and pay the very high price so you can use those pools there. Those are much nicer then the public pool. I wish they would do the "nice thing" and improve the public pool . It needs updating and the pool used to be very deep but the Canadian Government decided that they have to make the pool less deep so they filled it in and now it is "therapeutic" pool. However there are no lounge chairs to relax in just the plastic sit up chairs. They used to have the lounge chairs but evidently they got old and replacing them with a like would have cost them ton of $. They are so cheap it's pathetic. When do they take pride in the ownership of this fantastic potential and show it to the visitors. I hate going to the changing room or bathroom. When are they going to show their visitors that they care enough? If I wasn't into the "natural hot spring water" there is no way I would go there. Several times there has been even weird moldy smell to the whole place. Come on people, get on with it and up the standard. Spruce up the place and make it enjoyable. Two years ago I went to Germany public hot springs pool and Harrison could totally improve and learn from them. It was fantastic over there. read more
