Whether you’re winding down after a hike, recovering from a workout, or looking for a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, Bozeman Hot Springs is always a good idea.

With 12 indoor and outdoor mineral pools ranging from cool to hot, plus a dry cedar sauna, steam room, fitness center, and live music several nights each week, there’s something for just about everyone.

Come soak under the Montana sky, cool off with a plunge, or make an evening of it with friends and live music.

🥳 You’re invited to a free community BBQ party this Wednesday from 5:00pm-9:00pm in downtown Bozeman as part of our new initiative to support local businesses. Our goal with this one is a fun community challenge to see if the town of Bozeman can help sell out the new 24/7 meat vending machine at Daniels Meats in a single day! Once you’ve grabbed something from there, bring it to Bozeman Spirits downtown where they’ll grill it up for you (with extra burgers and hot dogs available too). They’ll also be celebrating the release of their new 10-Year Barrel Aged Rum with a community toast to America’s 250th Birthday at 6:00pm. Even if you can’t grab anything from Daniels, stop by downtown for the community BBQ party! Details.
