Homestead Crater - Midway, Utah

Chanell B

Wow! Beautiful with amazing energy! Definitely something to check out!

A couple things to know: Make sure to book ahead of time. The slots may fill up. Also it can be chilly getting in and out. And there are only small changing stalls available. Be sure to prepare for the temperature.

If you visit during non-snow months. You can climb to the top and look in as a bonus.

The location was exceptional; swimming in a 10,000-year-old natural crater provided a memorable experience. Access to the warm 95° water is via a side entrance leading to a platform. Floating in the crater, one is surrounded by geological formations dating back to the dinosaur era.

Coolest little experience here. The water is warm, so even though we got there early in the morning and it was super cold outside, it was perfect inside. You get to swim for maybe an hour or so and have to wear your life jacket. There's a hole at the top where you can float and look up. The water is deep so the snorkeling was okay, it's hard to see. But maybe the diving might be better. I'm definitely coming back to do my diving certificate here with my son. You can start as early as 10 years old.

I had a wonderful time. The rope was useful to help me free dive down deep with the mandatory life jacket requirement. Morgan looked very beautiful while swimming.
I will come back.

Here is wonder and comfortable place.
You need reservation, and some restriction to use this pool(time, wearing safty gear, etc), but it's still worth to go.
Natural Crator's inside is little dark, but there are sunlight from the above, and water is like a hot spring, warm.
You could be really relax just floating quietly.

This was one of our favorite adventures. A few of the other reviews made me a bit leery of coming, but it was absolutely amazing. I'd definitely do this activity again if we're ever back in the area. ?

- Staff are wonderful, helpful, and took the time to answer my son's 100 questions.
- Very clean
- 4 clean changing rooms
- Nice clean bathrooms a short walk from the entrance.
- You can park right outside the crater door
- Provided life jackets are great
- We enjoyed snorkeling
- Unique experience

100% worth going

We reserved a morning slot and showed up a little early, so the opener told us we could walk around the resort area and the top of the crater. This is in a gorgeous part of Utah, with 360 Mountain Views! They provide life vests, snorkel/scuba equipment. Also, there are lockers on site and they will provide a lock. The crater was warm and relaxing, and one of the scuba divers gave everyone in our session some history. It was definitely a nice way to relax on our vacation! After our session, we walked around the resort area again and got some coffee and orange juice at the shop near the hotel check in, and played some table games.

So, we just got back from Homestead Crater, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! I went with my family, and we had such a blast. The place is just a short, easy drive from Salt Lake City, so it's perfect for a quick getaway.

First off, I highly recommend booking online in advance. They stick to a schedule, so make sure to arrive on time. It’s one of those punctual events. Trust me, you don't want to miss your slot. Pro tip: try to arrive in your swimwear to save some hassle, but don't worry if you can’t because they have a changing area and small lockers where you can stash your stuff.

The water is wonderfully warm, and let me tell you, it’s super relaxing. The inside of the crater is even more beautiful than I expected. Seriously, it looks just like all those videos and pictures you might have seen online—if not better! The whole experience feels a bit surreal, like you’re in another world.

We spent a good amount of time just floating and taking it all in. It’s a unique spot, and it's definitely worth both your time and money. Everyone—from my kids to the grandparents—had an awesome time.

If you’re anywhere near the area, don’t miss out on this treasure. It’s one of those places that everyone in the family can enjoy. Highly recommend!
