This is a YMCA, rec center or hotel spa. We list it because its own page shows a sauna and a day pass sold to the public; members and hotel guests may have priority, and day-pass rules change. Confirm before you go.

What a traditional sauna is
A traditional sauna is a hot wood-lined room heated by a stove, often with rocks you can ladle water onto for a burst of steam (the Finns call it loyly). The air is hot and fairly dry. Public saunas in the US range from wood-fired cabins by a lake to social sauna clubs in a city storefront.

What to bring
- A towel to sit on, plus one to dry off
- A swimsuit if the venue is co-ed (check first)
- A water bottle
- Flip-flops for wet floors
- A change of clothes
Etiquette
- Shower before your first round.
- Sit on a towel so sweat stays off the wood.
- Ask the room before adding water to the stones.
- Keep voices low and phones out of the hot room.
- Cool down between rounds with a shower, a plunge or fresh air, then rest.
