New Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs opens to adults May 9

Bookings only open to patrons over age 19

Heat up, cool down and relax – the hot springs are back on Yukon time.

Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs announced May 4 in a Facebook post it will be opening May 9 to the public.

The old Takhini Hot Springs pool at the site shut down in September 2020, after half a century, and the facility was demolished.

Bookings at the new facility must be made online only. Walk-ins will not be permitted.

It is restricted to patrons age 19 and up. The fees to access the new facility range from $19 up to $39. These rates are offered up until May 31, 2022.

A family pool is being planned by another facility in the area and will be under construction, with an aim to open in 2023, according to a Feb. 15 Facebook post.
