We each got food, two drinks, and a dessert and spent $40-$50 each. We also paid $18 to get into the Sand Dunes Recreation Center and The Greenhouse was an additional $7 each. In total it was about $70 each.
The atmosphere is awesome here! Covered in plants with a grass area, indoor & outdoor seating, a game area, 4 hot pools, a bar area, sauna, and the bar of course.
We got there at about 11:00am and stayed until 5:00pm. It gets more crowded the later it gets. Staff was super friendly and the food and drinks were delicious. We camped at the Ramble campsite nearby and it was a great weekend getaway. I recommend staying here for at least two hours to get your money worth but it was a fun experience.

I’m so glad I happened to find this place! The food and atmosphere were great. The salmon was one of the best things I’ve ate! Wish I would have gotten a better pic of it.

A decent sangria, hallelujah! Costs $7 to get in if you're not a member. If I lived in the area, I'd totally be a member!

What a wonderful little surprise. We came here expecting a scrappy pool after renting boards for the sand dunes and ended up staying for almost six hours. Super friendly staff, good guests, and you should absolutely go down to the greenhouse.

Rad hot springs at the Sand Dunes rec center. Loved this place. It’s a giant greenhouse! Get too hot and Step out onto their patio where there’s a gorgeous view of the San Juan’s and a beautiful breeze.
The Steel Box Bar is located inside the adults-only Greenhouse area of the Sand Dunes Recreation facility. They offer a food variety of food and drinks. You make a line and order at the counter and they give you a buzzer/pager when you’re food is ready, and you pick it up yourself at the counter. We didn’t try the food, but everything looks really good! You can pay as you go or open a tab. Fantastic experience.

Be prepared to wait. Food can take over half and hour. Definitely make sure to order when you first get in as you’ll be able to get a thorough soak in all the pools by the time your food is ready.

We came here after visiting the gator farm (the only place of note for 15 miles in any direction). We were totally impressed with the food and the environment! An oasis in the middle of nowhere, The Greenhouse is the adult section of the Great Sand Dunes Recreational Center, the bar is The Steel Box and it did not disappoint. An exotic plant garden surrounds the soaking pools and the food and beer were awesome! It was the perfect end to our anniversary trip to the dunes.
