Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:50:25 GMT

People are lining up to enjoy a soak at the Iron Mountain Hot Springs and their newest attraction, the Upriver upgrade, which opened June 30.The 21 and older section is only $10 more than the regular price and includes “experience pools” with mineral recipes from around the world. Annual passholders 21 and older can access the new pools at no additional charge.The new section features two freshwater pools, a cold plunge pool and some people’s favorite perk — no children. Specific wristbands are given to guests who are of age and pay for the Upriver section and a gate separates the sections requiring the guests to scan their wristband to open the gate. Guests can go back and forth between the two sides, since they are paying for the full experience, and the local hot spring company wouldn’t want you to miss out on the natural spring water they are known for.
