D
o you remember swimming at Givens Hot Springs as a child? If not, chances are you know someone who does.
Established in 1881, Givens has been a source of happy family memories for five or six generations. A favorite gathering place of young and “seasoned” alike, Givens – with its indoor hot spring pool and its shaded, grassy parks - can accommodate special activities from a kid’s birthday party to a family reunion or company party, any time of year. Just an hour from Boise, and 1/2 hour from Caldwell or Nampa, Givens is easily accessible, and reasonably priced. Caution: Children (and even some adults,) are known to cry and have tantrums when they have to get out of the pool. And don’t turn your backs. They often sneak back in when mom and dad (or spouse) aren’t looking! Open Noon to 10pm, 7 days a week, 362 days a year (Closed Thanksgiving day and December 24th and 25th.)

minutes from downtown Boise is an escape from the everyday world. Enjoy the crisp air and clear skies of the mountains as you relax in our natural, chlorine free, hot springs pools. Bask in the bright sun or gaze at a night sky full of a million stars. Swim in the 80 foot long warm pool, melt in the steam room, rejuvenate in the hot tub and schedule a massage, or simply enjoy a glass of wine or a cold draft beer served poolside. It’s a magical experience and you deserve the escape. FAMILY DAY every Sunday. Kids can be kids and families get 20% off. Reserve online with CODE: FPG20 to get the family discount.
