Fairmont Hot Springs Resort (MT) - Day-use fee or pay-per-soak in Fairmont, MT (2026)
Family-friendly mega resort outside Anaconda with giant slides, indoor/outdoor pools, an 18-hole golf course, and RV park fed by a 155°F artesian well cooled to safe soaking temps.
Fairmont Hot Springs day pass gets you into Montana's largest mineral-pool complex — two Olympic-length pools (indoor and outdoor), two soaking pools, and a pair of giant waterslides at a sprawling family resort in Anaconda, MT. The property sits 15 miles east of Butte and draws heavily from locals and Montana road-trippers year-round. Mineral water from a 155°F artesian source is cooled to safe pool temperatures and circulated through the system continuously. It's not historic or subtle — it's a working family resort, and one of the only large indoor pool complexes in southwest Montana.
What to expect
Day pass is $25 and gets you the four pools and slide tower (when it's open). The slide tower closes during high winds and lightning — check the resort's alert page. Hotel rooms and RV sites come with unlimited pool access. Dining on-site (casual). Plan for crowded weekends and family chaos. The water is mineral-rich enough that swimsuits will hold a sulfur smell after.
