A Hotel And Mineral Spa Built On A Geothermal Aquifer Found While Drilling For Oil In The 1900s, With Mineral Rich Water Drawn From Deep Below And Kept Warm In Indoor And Rooftop Pools. Moose Jaw'S Tunnels And Main Street Murals Are A Short Walk Away. A Pay Spa, Not A Wild Hot Spring. · Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Temple Gardens Mineral Spa is a hotel spa in the middle of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, built on a geothermal aquifer found while drilling for oil in the early 1900s. It is a pay spa, not a wild hot spring: the mineral-rich water is drawn from deep underground, treated and kept warm in indoor and rooftop pools, with the water commonly roughly in the 35 to 40 degrees C range. The water is salty and slightly sulphurous in smell, and many people find a soak after a cold prairie day very relaxing. It suits couples, tired road-trippers, winter visitors and anyone who wants a simple soak with a hotel behind it. Day-use admission and hotel packages are both offered (confirm). It is not remote or scenic, so judge it as a spa, not a natural wonder. Allow two to three hours, longer with a treatment. Moose Jaw's Tunnels and Main Street murals are close by, so the spa fits well into a short stay in town.

The spa and pools usually open daily from morning to late evening, with a slightly shorter schedule at some times of the year and on some holidays, so confirm the current day-use hours before you go. Last entry is normally an hour or two before closing. Treatments such as massage need booking ahead and run on their own appointment times. Hotel guests may have extended pool access under a package, whereas day visitors follow the day-use schedule. Pools can close briefly for cleaning, maintenance or private events, and busy weekends and school holidays can limit entry numbers, so booking or calling ahead is wise.
