Homestead Crater Hot Springs

This natural hot springs crater in Midway, Utah is over 10,000 years old and features warm mineral water that is consistently between 90 to 96 degrees. Its by far one of the most unique things to do in Midway – and something you can do year-round!

They’ll give you the availability and reserve your spot. Then, you’ll pay the entrance fee upon arrival (under $20 for 1 hour). You’ll have access to small lockers and changing rooms.

Ice Castles
The Ice Castles are a seasonal activity that is only offered in the winter months (typically December to February). This fairytale winter wonderland is a great activity for families or couples who want to stroll through thousands of icicles, ice-carved tunnels, and snow sculptures. This manmade castle is created yearly.
It’s also located in the same parking lot as the Homestead Crater making it a great activity to pair together.
