Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas has a lot to offer as far as outdoor experiences go…forested hikes, mountain views, and abundant creeks to name a few but something that sets it apart from say Yosemite or Glacier is a traditional bathhouse bathing experience that has been in continuous operation since opening its doors in 1912. Visitors to Yellowstone could enjoy a geyser fed heated pool at the Old Faithful area until the 1950’s but they’ve been keeping the tradition alive at Hot Springs for well over 100 years. Awesome!
Bathhouse Row has 2 available facilities that offer visitors the chance to fully submerge and relax in the thermal water. The thermal springs are piped directly into both of these bathhouses, offering users a true and authentic experience of the water.
- The Buckstaff Bathhouse – Orginally opened in 1912, the Buckstaff is the only facility on the Row that has never fully closed since it first started offering baths. The Buckstaff offers a traditional bathing experience for people 10 & older.
