Thermal Springs Guide
What to expect the first time you visit the CASCADA Thermal Springs in Portland, from making a reservation to settling into the water.
Reservations are required for all Thermal Springs visits, and the Springs are open to guests 21 and over. A day pass is a 3-hour session; overnight guests can add unlimited access instead. There is ample street parking and a paid lot next door, though we encourage guests to carpool, bike, walk, or use a ride-sharing service.
Your session begins at the time of your booking and runs to its scheduled end, so we recommend arriving a few minutes early. Towels and sandals are provided, and lockers and changing rooms are available. Please shower before entering the pools, saunas, or steam rooms.
The Conservatory is the social space, with daybeds, plants, a vitality pool, and red light therapy. The Secret Garden is outdoors, with a hot pool, sauna, rainfall, and a fire pit. The Sanctuary is underground and silent, with hot and ambient pools, sauna, steam, and a cold plunge.
Take your time, hydrate well, and listen to what your body needs. Water and tea are provided. The hydrothermal circuit explains the rhythm of heat, cold, steam, and rest.
