Reviews
"GREAT experience over several floors - lots of fantastic exhibits and information..! Bathrooms available - no public WiFi - no gift shop in this building. The looped movie plays on the hour and half hour - very dated but interesting."
"Very unique and clean national park visitor center. Staffs are very nice and helpful. It’s a museum, no hot spring pool here. A step back in time when walking around in this place."
"FREE admission. This is the visitor center and a museum. Original elevator, pretty cool! If you go to one of the bathhouses you will be using everything you see in this museum, as far as tub, tables… very interesting place to visit. Make sure you read the history of the place, is posted everywhere."
"Admission is Free with no wait time. Definitely start at Fordyce before visiting any of the bath houses. It educational and takes you back in time. It’s worth every minute you spend here. There are park rangers at site, who can answer any of the questions that you may have. Don’t miss the 17 minute short movie on the history of Fordyce Bath House and Hot Springs. It’s played in the theater room on first floor every hour. The guided tours are scheduled twice a day at set time. There is free public parking and free metered parking on weekends but finding a space to park can be quite a challenge. You can take their antique elevator to access different floors and to it’s restrooms in the basement. The entire property is wheelchair accessible."
"FREE Admission- What an amazing visit! The building is kept at 62 degrees- you may want to bring a jacket. If you are thinking about stopping in it is so worth your time. Very educational while enjoyable experience as well. The park rangers were so friendly and knowledgeable. There are guided tours at set times of the day, a video segment. Make sure you make it to the third floor and see the beautiful stain glass ceiling in the parlor. There is free parking near by the building. It is a very busy area. A bit challenging to access but very worth it. Restrooms are available in the basement."
