During my 1st visit, I was a resident at Nemo, S.D. J.C.C.C. - Junior Civilian Conservation Center, West of Rapid City. I was 17 at the time, I am 46 now. I was there in the dead of winter with snow on the ground. The water inside is nice and warm. (perfect) There are openings in the roof, but the... more

This was my second time to Evans Plunge, my first time as an adult with my own kids. I will start with the good things first. The water was lovely and clear-it is fun to have rocks on the bottom of the pool. My kids loved the two water slides, and my son who is short liked the middle kids... more

Evans Plunge is an indoor and outdoor pool, but it's famous because of the fresh warm hot spring water that the pool is filled with. We love this place, kids and adults in our group had a terrific time. They have 2 large slides at the indoor pool and 2 separate swimming/play areas for the smaller children. Another unique thing... more

Why would anyone over 18 need this place. We're looking to relax in a natural Outdoor Hot Springs pool. Not a Community Swiming Pool ! If we have to drive to Pagosa Springs or Steamboat Springs Colorado next time, then that's what we'll do ! In the long run, I'll save money & get what I want. The whole town... more

We did not have any children with us on this trip. I would NOT go there again if you have just adults. It was very noisy and packed. 5 mintues after we entered, I was wishing we could get our money back and leave. With the amount of people there, I would expect they are making enough money to pay... more

Don't even get me started with the filty, moldy bathrooms, etc. My major "beef" is with the staff in the gift shop! There must be some serious problems with theft there because they treat anyone who tries to go in like a criminal. I was asked to leave all of my bags (with wet swimsuits, goggles) outside - where I... more

I would not rate this as a very good spot to go, unless your looking for a community pool. We arrived and my friend who was looking forward to sitting in a hot pool was very disappointed. And to top it all off, she decided not to swim as it was not what we were expecting and asked for a... more

Here is a pool that I have returned to many times and when I go it is early since the pool opens at 5:30 AM. A doctor friend New Orleans, Dr. Brunet, recommend that this runner start swimming years ago when I began to have knew problems. So now I'm a lap swimmer. When I first arrived at the pool... more

We went here after driving thru Custer State Park for the day. We were hot and tired, and I thought this would be just the thing. It was. We arrived and the staff was very friendly explaining where the lockers were, and we could go upstairs and view the pool ahead of time. We got a AAA discount as well!... more

We drove from Rapid City to Hot Springs to go to Evans Plunge thinking it was going to be some magnificent water park. Yes it was a natural water pool with rocks on the bottom, but it was really no different than any other water park. We could have stayed in Rapid City, skipped the long drive, probably paid less(Evans... more
