Access and hours
Crystal Hot Springs sits directly on Highway 38, about 12 miles north of Brigham City, with paved parking and a staffed entrance rather than a hike-in soak. Posted hours run roughly noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday, though the resort adjusts hours seasonally, so a call ahead is worth it outside peak summer months. General admission for ages 4 and up is $18, with $15 discounted rates for seniors 65+, active-duty military and college students; kids 3 and under get in free. The water slides run an extra $2 per ride on top of admission.
The pools
Water surfaces from a geothermal source the NOAA thermal springs archive lists at 129°F (1980 baseline); the resort's own listing describes water coming out of the ground today in a 120–134°F range. That source water is blended down across seven separate pools, from a cool swimming pool suited to kids and families to hotter soaking tubs for a more traditional hot springs experience, and the property layers water slides alongside the pools rather than keeping them as a standalone soak. It's the most developed, family-resort-style stop among Utah's hot springs, closer to a water park with a geothermal source than a rustic soak.
