LOOKING for a world-class hot springs experience in the states?
Go no further than North Texas, where WorldSprings, America’s largest outdoor mineral springs resort, opened this summer.
The resort has a total of 46 pools with 41 mineral hot springs, two freshwater pools and three cold plunges.
Like a typical hot springs experience, visitors will have the option to switch between extreme temperatures and extreme temperatures for the most invigorating moment.
Other amenities include Finnish saunas, fire pits, yoga, and a world-class spa with therapies and recovery treatments.
A full-service bar and cafe allow visitors to enjoy ultimate relaxation with poolside drinks and food.
The pools, inspired by global destinations, come with themes that reflect the world’s diverse mineral springs.
Parents who want to take their children out should keep in mind that swimming pools in the European, American and Asian regions are for adults only.
They can, however, bring their loved ones to the South Pacific region pools, which are open to all ages.
The freshwater Globe Pool, located in the South Pacific, is open for all visitors to cool off between swims.
Children are also allowed in the 10 mineral pools, 2 saunas, sun loungers and cabins.
The resort faced resistance from Cedar Park councilors earlier this year, who expressed concerns about the amount of water used.
“I feel like ‘we’re not the worst’ isn’t really a selling point… What are you guys doing to go above and beyond on water conservation?” asked board member Heather Jefts.
“More than two-thirds of this property is now parking [instead] of green space.”
WorldSprings officials explained that their water will be recirculated and changed every three months, or as needed, in efforts to conserve water.

Additionally, your pools will be covered at night to prevent evaporation.
Ethan Harwell, a WorldSprings representative, explained that the resort is not a water park, but a health and wellness facility for recreational purposes.
Harwell added that the resort uses little water compared to other commercial businesses.
“This is more of a destination than just a community pool,” board member Mel Kirkland said during the meeting.
“It’s something completely different. [WorldSprings] It’s a good thing for Cedar Park.”
WorldSprings opened near Dallas on June 28, with a second location planned in Houston for 2025.
Tickets start at $55 for adults and $45 for children under 18.
Visitors have the option of booking a full-day experience or a three-hour soak for quick relaxation.
