TL;DR
Yes, worth it — the most popular option is I-Resort (~15 min from downtown Nha Trang): mud and herbal baths, mineral water pools, and a small water park with slides. Many packages include a boat ride, bath access, and a buffet lunch.
Yang Bay has great mineral baths — some travelers go specifically for them. The waterfalls there are unimpressive, more like a stream, but the grounds are interesting for kids.
One traveler's child used the pool on-site; the complex also has herbal and mud baths — you can just walk around the grounds without doing every bath.
A typical package includes a round-trip boat ride, entry to the mud baths, access to the pools near the buffet, a buffet-style lunch, and use of the other pools on the grounds.
Heat tolerance varies by person: the mud baths themselves are usually comfortable, but the mineral water pools can feel very hot.
I-Resort is recommended — it combines mud baths with a small water park (slides, waterfalls), located about a 15-minute drive from downtown Nha Trang.
