Pricing
- Day pass
- $99
Admission is $99 and buys unlimited all-day access rather than a timed session; weekend and holiday rates differ. Memberships are sold as 3-, 6- and 12-month terms ($1,700, $3,000 and $5,000) rather than monthly, so no monthly rate is recorded. The venue publishes per-room temperatures for its saunas and banyas on its site, but only inside interactive elements that cannot be captured or mechanically rechecked, so only the cold plunge range is recorded here.
