Year round fun in Helena

In 1989 Colonel Charles Broadwater built the well-known Broadwater Hotel and Natatorium.  This grand resort housed the world’s largest indoor swimming pool and was created to utilize the warm waters of four local, natural Hot Springs.  Granite boulders formed two indoor waterfalls, one hot and one cold.  In 1941 the hotel closed, its grand heyday over.

But today the property enjoys a revival and is home to the Broadway Athletic Clubs with three Hot Spring pools, an outdoor lap pool that is well protected and used year round. There is also a year round Recreational pool that is perfect for family fun.  There is nothing like swimming in the perfect 95 degree water in a Montana winter snow storm.

The third hot spring boasts the Centennial Waterslide, an overwhelming favorite of kids of all ages.  There is also an indoor climbing wall and the Adventure Zone, a huge, 3,000 square foot indoor play area for children.
