1 parent per family can pay $5.50 per visit at the Fairmont Hot Springs Pools during lessons. All other family members must pay regular admission.

You can also look at purchasing a single or day ticket price as you will save money for those 5 days.

WHEN MY CHILD IS IN LESSONS AT FAIRMONT, WHERE MAY I WATCH?
You may stand under the covered walkway, or anywhere on the grassy area. As street shoes and clothes are not allowed anywhere on the deck (as per the BC Health Act), the grassy area is ideal. The other IDEAL place is from the hot tub. You can enjoy a nice soak and still be able to watch your child anywhere in the pool. Cost for 1 parent/family is just $5.50 per visit.
