Our Geothermal Pool

The History Of "Liquid Gold"

The source of the geothermal water that has made Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa world-famous was discovered accidentally in 1910 when a deep well was bored in an effort to locate natural gas. In 1980, the City of Moose Jaw drilled a new geothermal well into porous foundations that was once an ancient seabed, providing Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa with its therapeutic mineral waters. 

Under its own pressure, the water travels through an insulated pipeline from the well-head located approximately 0.8 kilometers (1/4 mile) away. Geothermal heat from the much deeper molten mass of the earth's core continually warms the reservoirs of mineral water to a well-head temperature of about 45°C (113°F). The mineral water loses less than one degree as it passes through the insulated pipeline to the Spa. 

Thermal Spa Experience

Move through the thermal cycle by alternating between the warmth of our geothermal mineral water, aromatherapy steam rooms, hydrotherapy showers, cooling in the cold plunge or with an aroma-infused cold towel, and relaxing with a refreshing lemon water or hot tea.

Our dry saunas and outdoor fire table(coming soon) will offer another way to experience the benefits of heat and relaxation.

Repeat the cycle as often as you like or simply settle in and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.  The thermal spa experience is your opportunity to step away from the demands of every day life, reconnect, and truly take time for yourself.

Please Note:

When we are close to our maximum capacity, thermal spa access for non hotel guests will be restricted. 

The mineral spa at Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa is a haven, which connects two warming pools, one indoors and the other outdoors via a convenient water passage. Now with the addition of a full thermal spa experience. 

The outdoor mineral pool can be enjoyed year-round and is pure bliss on a prairie winter day, while the indoor pool offers a variety of depths and temperatures as well as the soothing sounds of a waterfall. To optimize your Sun Tree Spa experience, we recommend taking the waters prior to your treatment.
