We were here during the summer and it was the perfect activity and turned out to be such a fun experience for our family! The crater itself was easy to find and it was an all around easy going experience. The water was warm (95 degrees), we got an hour of swim time and got lots of fun pictures. I’d highly recommend visiting the Homestead Crater if you are near Midway! I also saw that you can do paddle board yoga here which would be a fun experience.

Amazing experience to swim in a crater in the middle of a town. Book your slots early! The water is warm like a jacuzzi. There are 4 small changing rooms but this would count as part of your swimming time, so better arrive prepared. Do not arrive early, because you won’t be able to access the crater until your reserved timeslot. Life jackets are provided and mandatory for everyone. We took the snorkeling option but there is honestly not much to see, so would not necessarily recommend. There is no shower at all so be aware that you cannot rince yourself after the swim, and you may smell a bit like algae and sulphur.

We loved our experience, it’s nice that they only let 20 people there at a time so it doesn’t get to crowded and it’s like that the whole hour you’re in there, granted it’s a crator so it not really a swimming place. It’s very nice to float and relax, very easy to fall asleep. There are some changing rooms, they are not the biggest because one of the walls is the rock. There are 4 of them so either come in your swimming suits or get there 15-20 mins early so you can get a changing room.

This was our 2nd trip to Homestead this year. We brought our older kids this time and had separate units near each other. Swam, sat by the fire pit and roasted marshmallows and had a relaxing, awesome weekend. You will love it here!
