    $hit stain why must you be on my towel that I must wipe my body with?
    John K.

    I've been to multiple Russian baths and only go to this one because of location. This sauna has so much potential but unfortunately owners are not up to date with hygienic practices and how to upkeep facility. Towels are usually not available and staff is no where to be found. Also I ordered a pot of green tea and not exaggerating the water had tasted like the cedar wood of the sauna. They also give you one low quality green tea bag for a huge pot of stale sauna water. Makes no damn sense lol. Cleanliness is definitely a factor here...I'm questioning why my towel out of the dryer has a shit stain and if they even wash their towels or just throw them in the dryer. Overall food is a no-no here save your money, service is whatever, just a decent place to sweat out the BS.

    Love this place!! Been coming here for years. Even bought a ten pack a few years back, and am currently down to my last visit. I usually come here with Michael K. and some other straphangers we choose to call that day. Most recent trip here was on one of the last days of the Jewish holiday of Passover. It was a friday and i was off work. Thats quite a rarity, so why not enjoy life with a little water, steam, and jacuzzi. The place is a mere 5-10 min drive from where I live. Warning: Parking is difficult in this area so pray for the best and expect to spend almost your whole day here for those who like to relax and zone out the outside world. You can spot the entrance right off Calloway Street with a huge sign that reads "Forest Hills Spa" all nice and colorful. The place is quite big as far as Russian banyas go and is one of the few that has a long swimming pool. This is lacking in some Brooklyn banya competitors. So definitely a plus for queens. For me, A typical day in this banta consists of Sauna, pool, jacuzzi, cold plunge , steam room, play cards and REPEAT, literally. This may sound boring to some, but its definitely better with the right company and people who like to enjoy actually "relaxing". The sauna can reach great temperatures in heat, especially if someone decides to turn their towel into a propeller (ahemmm...haimov). After that, you can either chicken out and go straight to the pool or BE A MAN and enter the cold plunge of DOOM ( ominous music). Its cold as Hell. Probably a bad metaphor b/c Hell is supposed to be well, Hottt... So to reiterate, the sauna can get HOT as HELL, the temp in the pool is tepid, and the "cold pool" is exactly what it sounds like. Don't sleep on the steam room either, it can get quite toasty and uncomfortable in their too, given the duration of time you spend. Food here is good , particularity the cornish hen meal. I usually get it and split it with someone b/c its a big portion. Pairs well with israeli/fresh salad, french fries and ooo yes Baltika #7, a well known Russian beer. Admission fee runs $30 for adults, for the whole day. Package deals available and friendly staff always around. OOOOOOO, don't forget to enjoy a nice jet-stream aqua-laced massage in the jacuzzi, it can get all those kinks out in your back , if you position yourself the right way. Its called Self MyoFascial Release Technique for all those technical people. Take a day and enjoy the right way. and if you need someone to go with . Holla at me or Michael K. Peace, yelpers..

    rat poison everywhere!

    The most uncomfortable visit to a Russian spa ever. The photos speak for themselves. Rat poison was everywhere in the room where you relax in your swimming suit after the banya. The sink was extremely dirty. How can you charge $40 for such a service.

Everyone who works there thrives in toxicity, they're no such thing as an authority figure handling concerns or ensuring the facility is run properly It seems like there's no supervisors at all, there's no one available who genuinely seems interested in helping if you have any issues and concerns. The pool itself is often dirty, which is disappointing considering the number of people paying to be there. The check in process is also extremely slow. It shouldn't take 15 minutes or more to check in each guest, especially when people are standing outside in 100 degree NYC heat. The staff and lifeguards are another major issue. While I understand many of them are HighSchoolers, that doesn't excuse rude behavior or a lack of professionalism. Many of them come across as disrespectful for no reason Another frustrating issue is the inconsistent rules. They seem to change from day to day, sometimes even within the same week. I understand the purpose of adult swim at a crowded pool, but constantly changing the age requirement without clear communication only creates confusion and unnecessary frustration for guests. Overall, the management, cleanliness, customer service, and inconsistent policies make this a disappointing experience. They don't have any respect for anyone they are just rude and act based on their mood would give zero starts if i could!!!!!

    I see some frustrating reviews, while some have a point, but some might not telling the whole…read morestory. I'd like to add in from what I see. The pool will close early if there's an extreme weather like thunderstorms which not suitable for swimming outdoors. The snack bar is pricy, so as the membership. Kiddie pool may have bugs sometimes, but still clean enough to use. They're pretty strict about the rules, not flexible, it seems mostly just protecting their profits, most of the times are understandable. The facility is members only, or paid guest that brought in by a member. To address another reviewer's concerns, non member swimming lessons takers are only allowed to use the pool for the lessons only. That price doesn't include all other facilities, of course besides shower stall and changing room. You have to pay to use their facilities like the pool and playground, etc. Parents got plan better. While I can see it's frustrating to have a young kid waiting in the heat, but I don't see it's the management's fault that you didn't pay to enjoy them. You're lucky if they didn't catch you and let you use sometimes, that doesn't mean you're entitled to. It's unfair to all the members/ guest that paid to use them. On the lessons pricing, I personally think the package is a great deal. The single lesson is 85, while they offer discount on packages, the more you take the more discount you get. They offer different discount rates on 4, 8, 12, 16 packages. As of 2026, 16 lessons package is 615, it goes down to about 40 per session. That's almost half of the price compared to single lesson and other swim school like saf-t. I don't think it's reasonable to buy a package, then ask a refund per session with the package discount. If you take only 1 session, it seems reasonable they charge you the single lesson rate less the discount for the package. I don't see any noodle/kick-board offered by the pool. Members/guests bring their own. There are staffs that are nice and more accommodating. While others, seems like high school/ college students have no experience in handling situations. Once I missed my turn to go to an activity, the kid there signing the seat just telling me no, nothing can be done. While at the end of the day, I was just kind of complaining to the office, they were more understanding, and managed to squeeze me in since they have availability towards the end of the day. I didn't go at last, but their attitude made the experience completely different. Overall I think the facility is nice, offers activities throughout the week. Some staff needs more training to have a more accommodating mindset. If you have money to spare, it's a nice place for the summer.

    Pool is nice and big, however, the "noodles" and kickboards have not been replaced in years and…read morethere are so few of them. The snack bar prices are a bit steep for a snack bar and they don't have enough people working there. You can wait on line for food and drinks for 20 min. They also need bug zappers. Locker room should be cleaned or at least the floor should be dried several times a day. Please enforce no loud music. Great music throughout the day but some people bring speakers and play some crappy music very loudly. More table in shade needed in snack area

    The pool just came off a two-year, $19 million renovation -- closed after the 2022 season, reopened…read morein June 2024. Crews rebuilt the pool shell from scratch, replaced the deck and gutters, and put in new filtration and chemical treatment systems. The water itself feels noticeably better for it. That said, don't expect the renovation to have touched everything: the locker rooms, bathrooms, and communal showers are untouched, still the same ones I remember from before construction started. I was there again yesterday and can confirm: nothing's changed on that front, and honestly you won't be in there long enough for it to matter much. Access is still free, no Parks membership required, just a bathing suit and a padlock for the lockers. Security is strict about bag checks, and heads up: cell phones aren't allowed on the pool deck at all. Current hours: 11am-7pm daily, with the pool closing for cleaning from 3-4pm. Inside, you'll find the pool split into zones: a lap section, a general bathing area, and a shallow end for young kids. The bleachers give you plenty of space to stake out a spot for towels, and if you're lucky, you can grab one of the lounge chairs near the old diving pool (now covered over). Lap swimming has genuinely improved. The biggest change I noticed: there are now dividers separating the lanes, and they're generously wide. A real upgrade from the old system where everyone just shared open water and hoped for the best. A few things still apply, though: - Always glance ahead before pushing off to make sure no one's swimming toward you. - Roughly half the lap crowd sticks to a slow breaststroke pace. - Every so often someone decides to stand up and walk mid-lane, or just doesn't realize it's a lap-only zone. Lifeguards try to keep traffic moving, but it happens. - The pool's sheer size still works in your favor: way more room per lap than a standard 25m pool, and less crowded overall than most NYC public pools. - Timing tip: the best window for lap swimming is right at 4pm, the moment the pool reopens after the cleaning break. It might be the single best hour of the day to swim here. No outside food on deck, but there's a stand on the west side of the pool deck selling burgers, hot dogs, fries, wings, mozzarella sticks, salads, and ice cream. Cash and card both work. A heads-up: No tap-to-pay, since phones can't come out on deck anyway. Even with all the crowds NYC pools can attract, I've never found this one packed. Same goes for the surrounding park. Because it's a bit of a walk from the nearest subway stop, the crowd here skews heavily toward local families rather than people coming from across the city. This means that this pool never really gets crowded, let alone anywhere near capacity. If you're driving in, it's an easy trip: there's free public parking right at the entrance to Astoria Park, under the RFK Bridge. Speaking of pool renovations gone right: maybe for the Reflecting Pool the Trump administration should've called whoever redid the shell here at Astoria. This one's still holding water: No algae blooms, no peeling liner, no $16 million overrun. Sometimes the WPA crews from 1936 still know something the current contractors don't.
