The city has been many things to many people: A resort for the wealthy and elite, a miracle of hope and healing for the infirm, spring training fields for some of Major League Baseball’s greatest legends, and even a playground for the country’s most notorious criminals.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Walk along Bathhouse Row and explore historic bathhouses with unique architecture and stories.
• Relax and sip craft beer brewed with hot springs water at Superior Bathhouse.
