Open-air stone hot spring pools outside Steamboat Springs. Children are welcome during daytime hours only, every visit is a reserved 2-hour slot, and admission is cash only.
Know before you go. Strawberry Park doesn't list sensory supports. Here's what it does say about light, noise, the road and the rules.
Hours
Open 365 days a year; open on holidays, weather permitting. Sunday to Thursday 10 am to 10 pm (last entry 8 pm); Friday and Saturday 10 am to midnight (last entry 10 pm). Minors are not permitted after dark.
44200 County Road 36, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487 (about 7 miles, 15 to 20 minutes, from downtown Steamboat Springs)
$30 per adult, $20 for children 17 and under, for a 2-hour slot. Cash only: no credit cards, no checks and no ATM on site.
Reservations are required for all pool visits and open 30 days ahead. There is no waitlist; if your time isn't showing, it's sold out.
No food or snacks, glass, gum, smoking, ZYN, drugs or alcohol, and bags are checked.
The final two miles of the road are unpaved, steep and winding. From November 1 to May 1 you need a 4WD vehicle with snow tires, and rental vehicles aren't allowed; cables and straps don't replace chains, and two-wheel drive vehicles aren't allowed in winter.
No Uber or Lyft passengers are allowed in. Shuttles: Hot Springs Shuttle and Sweet Pea Tours. Book directly with them.
Parking is very limited, and no trailers or RVs. Pets aren't permitted anywhere on the property and can't be left in vehicles.
A pool reservation is for that time slot only; to come back later, you need another reservation.
The rules also say no jumping or climbing, no unauthorized photos or recording, no drones and don't feed the wildlife, and breaking a rule means removal from the property.
