Share Located in the heart of Sonoma, in a place known as the Valley of the Moon, this diverse and wondrous geothermal springs sanctuary is the last of its kind. Bordering Sonoma Creek and nestled among a mature canopy of large oaks with open meadows and rolling hills, these Springs uplift the very best of whole family wellness and recreation. People have come to these Springs for generations to soak in the healing waters and to gather for picnics and reunions, retreats and organizational meetings, birthdays and weddings, and for nature-based youth camps and field trips. The temperature on all three pools range from 85° F to 94° F, depending on weather (we shoot for cooler on hot days and warmer on cooler days). Come and experience the magic of the Springs for yourself.
Description
A General Admission Entry reservation grants access to the pools 10am until 5pm and to the site 10am until 6pm. Arrive anytime!
Reservations are required for every visit, even if you don’t plan to swim. Reservations are available here online on a first-come, first-served basis until fully booked. Reservations are not needed for infants and toddlers (2 years old & under) because they are always free of charge, provided that they have a swim diaper on while in the pool area at all times (swim diapers are available for sale at the gate and cafe if needed). We have limited spots for each day and we sell out many days ahead so lock in your time this summer at the Springs today!
Guest Policies:
- Preparing For The Pools
- The temperature of all three pools ranges from 90° F to 95° F
- Bring a towel! A towel is not provided but if you forget yours, there are towels available for sale at the cafe
- Bathing suits are required in the pools at all times
- No street clothes or cut-offs allowed in our mineral pools (the detergents and fibers clog our filters and negatively impact the general ecology)
- Sun protective clothing is encouraged such as hats, sun shirts & rash guards (ideally made of non-cotton "quick-dry" materials)
- SUNSCREEN MUST BE ALLOWED TO DRY 15+ MINUTES before entering the water and please minimize the amount applied (ideally use none at all while swimming). This protects the water from getting cloudy and the filters from getting clogged.
- No suntan oil or other skin products other than sunscreen (lotions, oils, etc.) allowed in the water
- EVERYONE MUST SHOWER before entering our mineral pools each time throughout the day
- NO FOOD, DRINKS OR GLASS are allowed (water only in non-glass containers)

- No water guns, aggressive behavior or water fighting of any kind
- No sports balls (very soft balls are occasionally allowed during less busy times, at lifeguard discretion)
- Only small personal flotation devices are allowed and only for safety or quiet floating (noodles & baby floats are ok but not to be used to strike the water or anything/anyone else). No large flotation tubes, rafts or other large inflatables (lifeguards must be able to see under the water for safety)
- If you're caring for someone who has special needs and who can't swim, we encourage you to let a lifeguard know when they are in the pool area so we can join you in taking extra care keeping eyes on them.
