This pool is always a delight. It is never crowded on the weekdays, it is always warm and the place is quite clean. Altough it was built in the 50's and you can tell, they do there best with the art deco style. Love it.

The public hot springs are pretty much like a shallow (3-4') pool except that the water is rather hot. There are signs around the pool that tell you to hop out after 10-15 minutes, Heed that advice! And drink TONS of water! YEs the faciiyt is kind of old, but it is very clean. I have seen other reviews that it would be great if there were windows to take in the view - I agree. And if the shoji screens up high that are the "windows" were on rails to open for fresh are - that would be good too. It got hot and stuffy/steamy after a while. Just be sure to take water and your own towels.We were able to take our beach bag out to the pool deck area. Save your self some $$ All in all - a pretty good experience.

This is the only public pool where visitors can enjoy the mineral springs in Harrison Hot Springs. It feels like something from the seventies - no outside pools, small lockers, dim interior -but it serves it purpose. Staff is friendly and allow you to take your bag out to the pool area saving money on lockers and worry about theft.

The Harrison Hot Springs Public Pool is just that; a pleasant but somewhat dated and "no frills" indoor public pool with the same hot springs water available at the much plusher Hot Springs Resort that is 2 blocks away. The big Resort does not offer "day passes" as most indoor/outdoor water destinations do in other places, but would rent a "day room" for $125 for the day if they were not close to capacity in their room bookings. We could only stop by for part of the day and didn't want to spend this for the few hours we were visiting, so off to the Public Pool. Fine, nice warm water with nice seats around the pool. Can sort of see out the windows to the surrounding mountains, but feels like an old high school swimming pool otherwise. For $9 plus a towel rental, was okay, but seems it would be reasonable for the posh resort to offer day passes for those only able to visit for the day; could make them more than $9 but less than $125---wide range to play with, Harrison Hot Springs Resort!! Otherwise, lovely scenery in the town, nice drive from Vancouver and some cute restaurants in Harrison Hot Springs.

Only here 3 nights. But loved the hotel, the area, restaurants, island bar with great staff, good buffet in am, great pools and spa.and nice area for walking, driving around, shopping and other towns close by, great family time. 5 pools are free and an awesome treat, the other 2 mineral pools cost money.

A good pool to relax your aching muscles. Temperature is approx 90 degrees. You could rent the lockers. A must when you visit Harrison Lake.

We heard this was a beautiful place to be and picnic. First to find it was all not so easy as it can be. After we arrived it was very nice, but we had luck it was beautiful weather. Round the water there was enough bench to sit down when you are tired. The public restrooms where not so nice, they could use a proper cleaning....pfff.The rest was clean and very nice.

This shallow public pool is the size of a large public swimming pool and about 4 feet deep. The temperature is around 100 degrees or a bit less. There are some seats around the edges. It is indoors with tile surfaces and no view outdoors. Adults under 65 pay $9 if you don't rent a locker or towel. There are chairs and lounges around the pool where you can set your things.I was unwilling to pay around $60 to soak in the Harrison Hot Springs spa pool with my husband for 20 minutes, so this was the other nearby alternative. I enjoyed it and the locker room is basic and clean.

This review is for the public pool in the centre of town, and not the pools at the resort. I think these facilities are fine. They are nothing fancy, but for $9 you can spend a nice relaxing time in the sulpher mineral waters. The atmosphere is a bit clinical, but after 15 minutes in the hot water you can feel all of your troibles going away!

This is a public pool built a long time ago, having said that I had a great time. The place was very clean and the changing rooms were nice too. I went in the evening and it was nice and quite. very relaxing. Also there is a nice view of the mountains and the lake. i had a great time and would recommend it. if your looking for a 5 star hot spings you will have to go to the hotel, but this is very nice for the price you pay.

Was quite a letdown for me having been to other nice hot springs. First of all it is inside which makes it loud; hardly relaxing when everyone's voice is reverberating around you. Also it is chlorinated which for me totally ruins the whole experience. It smells and feel just like a small city pool; none of the relaxing hot springs vibe you expect.

This place is owned by a hotel nearby.The price seems a little expensive for what it is, but it is a really great place to relax.The water is very warm and one can not stay in it for long period. There are also deckchairs to cool down.The staff is ok.

While this hot spring facility, itself, ranks below others we've visited in British Columbia, it's the closest one to the US-Canada border and can be accessed without paying the exorbitant amount required at the Resort. When I contacted the Resort, I was told that access for use of the hot pools, only, was contingent on whether they were fully booked at the time we wanted to visit. If there was space, it would be $125. for up to four people.For $1, you can rent a locker.
