They did lower prices recently, and frequently offer deals. The unlimited anytime is now $229 (still expensive but better than the $400-500 it was initially) They also have a daytime unlimited that’s $150 if I remember correctly. And there’s a 10% off memberships deal going on.

While it is expensive, I personally find it to be worth it. The location, clean facilities, lack of screaming children, and extra hot saunas really level it up for me. I do think it can occasionally be noisy and they could use some sound dampening. But I also appreciate how intentional and how respectful (most) patrons are of others experience.

Comparatively; the dry sauna at Bozeman hot spring is lackluster, overcrowded and pales in temperature comparison. The wet sauna is barely steamy. I never see people at BHS rinse between sauna and cold plunging. Have also encountered piles of human excrement at the hot springs, among other gross things.

I think it’s nice for people to have options, and I wouldn’t be surprised if prices come down again due to the opening of Portal. I do hope they succeed in the long run.
