Cheapest saunas & day passes by city

Tips for a cheaper sauna visit

• Go on a weekday or off-peak. Several venues publish lower weekday prices, e.g. Framework Wedgewood-Houston in Nashville ($35 weekday, $55 weekend) and Bywater Sauna in Seattle ($35 weekday, $40 weekend). Crystal Spa in Los Angeles lists a $20 early-bird pass on weekdays (not holidays), and Archimedes Banya in San Francisco a $60 weekday Happy Hour Pass.
• Look for first-visit offers. Embrace North (Denver and Minneapolis) says your first 2 sessions are free; Therma Haus in Denver lists 2 sessions for $25 for first-time locals; Conscious Body Recovery in San Diego lists 50% off a first visit.
• Buy a pack if you'll go often. At Garden Sauna in Denver a drop-in is $33 but a 10-pack is $260 ($26 a visit). At Guss in Portland a drop-in is $30 and a 5-session punch pass is $120 ($24 a visit).
• Compare what's included. A low price may be a 30-minute session or sauna-only access. Check the “what you get” column and the venue's page before you book.
• Check for tax and extras. Some venues add sales tax at checkout or charge for towel rental, so the final price can be a little higher.
