JACKSON, Wyo. —  Astoria Hot Springs will be reopening to the public once again on January 1st,
2021. At a reduced capacity, the hot springs will now be open to all visitors, rather than just locals.

Three soaking sessions for two-hours-and-fifteen minutes will be offered daily beginning at 9:00 a.m., 11:45 a.m., and 2:45 p.m. The maximum capacity of each session is 35 people. Pool passes are $18 for non-residents and $14 for locals who present a local ID, property tax bill, lease, car registration, or another form of approved documentation at check-in.

“We excitedly welcome visitors back to the hot springs to offer the health and social benefits found in the mineral hot springs – more important now than ever before. We appreciate your patience during our closure and continued help to follow our COVID protocols as we welcome visitors back to ensure we can remain open.” said says Paige Byron Curry, Executive Director.

Astoria Park Conservancy’s board closed the hot springs in November due to rising COVID cases. Over the last five weeks, the organization has implemented new safety protocols. Group events are not permitted at this time. Visitors will complete a symptom check before entering the facility, masks are required outside of pools, and visitors are being asked to come “ready to swim” to avoid gathering in locker rooms.

Reservations are required in advance and can be made through the website or by calling at 307-201-5925.
