What it offers

Only features we found stated by the venue or its listing, website checked November 2, 2026. Missing from this list does not mean missing from the venue.

Before you go

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.

  1. Finnish sauna
    160 to 200°F, air, low humidity
    160 to 200°F, air, low humidity
Typical temperatures, from cold plunge to Finnish sauna. Each venue sets its own; check the numbers posted on site.

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.

Where this comes from

Source: the venue's Google Maps listing (category "Non-profit organization"), checked November 2, 2026, and the venue's own website. We list it as a traditional sauna because of its Google listing and website. Ratings are Google's, shown as a count only; we do not copy reviews. Prices and rules are quoted from the venue's own site with the date we read them; they change, so confirm before you go. Is something wrong, or has it closed?
