Spa world looks wonderful! The steam rooms and sauna are the best part to me of a spa day anyway.
But, when people say its full nudity does that mean others are nude or that you have to be nude?
I don't care if others are naked I just don't want to have to be myself

To get back to the subject, and off the annoying and irrelevant advertisement, my four-year-old loves it. She will hills out in the main room playing games or sometimes meeting other kids and occasionally (every couple hours) joins me in the pool area. I wouldn't bring her withy husband going too though because you need to be able to break away for a few minutes.

It is full nude in the "pool" area, divided by gender, then coed everywhere else. The place is actually really luxurious and upscale compared to what he is probably thinking of from his childhood days. You can get the scrub down, but it's an extra charge (I also highly recommend it).

Heh, my Husband grew up going to these with his Mom in Korea.

He thinks it is strange they are popular here, and I sent him the Groupon yesterday to prove it, lol.

He was asking me if it is full nude like the ones in Korea, and if the lady scrubs you down before going in. Soooo I'm asking, lol.

Be sure to wrap your towel on your head in the cute sheep's head!!

I frequently see kids there but they're not allowed in the poultice rooms or the bade pool (there is a small children's pool for them). If you go with a group, the kids might have fun but if you go by yourself with a child, you wouldn't be able to enjoy almost anything.

Thanks. I think we'll try Friday after school.

I recall last time I was there a sign that said no one under X inches is allowed in the Bade pool. Can't recall what the number was but I recall my 6 year old would be too short. Also the pools are same sex if you had a boy then Mom couldn't go with him into pool. The poultice area is for both genders. I did see some mom and daughters last few times I was there in the pool area--the youngest looked about 10 years old. It is full nudity in there so you'd have to be comfortable with that.

@ 14:10 thanks for the information. Anyone have experience actually taking a child there?

I go a lot. There are plenty of kids there, though they are usually more in the poultice rooms rather than the pools. I think the kids have to be of a certain height to use the adult pool (they have a kiddie tub) and they can't use the pool to swim around in. Also, don't forget in the pools, you're naked so that will be a factor if your child is the opposite sex of you.

Another thing, the poultice rooms are hot. I haven't seen many younger children in the them at all- they're more in the common rooms, playing or eating.

13:56 again - Just thought of something. I guess it depends on the time of day you're there. Kids were probably in school when I was there.

I've seen plenty of kids there.

I've been a couple times and have seen very very few children in there. Spa World is a place people go to relax, and I can't imagine any child would have fun in there.

I got a couple of discounted admissions from groupon yesterday. Has anyone been there with a child? It says on the website that they have a children's pool but I want to know how deep the pool is etc... My DC is 6 years old BTW.
