Barton Springs Pool is undeniably one of Austin’s most prized natural possessions. The pool, which is a whopping 3-acres large, lies within the 358-acre Zilker Park and entices guests from near and far to come and experience the relaxing underground springs at any time of the year.
The pool at Barton Springs can be as deep as 18 feet and average a temperature of 68 to 70 degrees. When guests are done at the hot springs, they can visit Splash, an educational exhibit located right across the Barton Springs Pool bathhouse, to learn about the history of the springs, or they can search for the illusive and endangered Barton Springs Salamander.
