If you’re at all familiar with the area of Saratoga Springs in Upstate New York, then you most likely already know that scattered all around this small city are mineral springs, all known to have their own tastes and beneficial properties. Both locals and out-of-town visitors alike make their way around the city, filling up their own bottles to take this delicious spring water back home with them, but what some may not realize is that it’s actually also beneficial to bathe in these waters! Situated right in Saratoga Spa State Park where you can find the majority of the city’s springs, see what magical powers lie within the historic walls of Roosevelt Baths & Spa.
Established back in 1935, the Roosevelt Baths & Spa is one of the most incredible bathhouses that you can visit here in Upstate New York.
While we highly encourage you to test out of all the springs in town to see all of their different tastes, there's nothing quite like spending an afternoon at the Roosevelt Baths.
For ages, people have been traveling to Saratoga to take advantage of the healing properties of these waters, a tradition that hasn't slowed up any since it has begun.
While everyone here will get to take a quick mineral bath before any treatments they receive, sometimes 20-minutes just isn't enough and we need something a little more.
The spa offers 40-minute mineral baths, drawn up by staff members who are trained in the art of perfecting the water's temperature, as well as adding the right amounts of water to the bath - something that has to be done just right in order for everything to work as it should.
So, what can bathing in the mineral water do? Well, many believe the mineral water can aide with things like heart disease, arthritis, and even your circulation.
Roosevelt Baths & Spa is located at 39 Roosevelt Drive, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 within Saratoga Spa State Park and is open every day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
