OUR STORY
Halcyon Floats, Philadelphia's Favorite Float Center, is excited and proud to introduce the benefits of floating to the community. While years in the making, Halcyon Floats was established in early 2014, opening on March 1st in Northern Liberties. Keri, the owner, was introduced to floatation therapy while visiting a friend in Portland, OR in 2011. Commence obsessive mission to bring this amazing relaxation technique to the great people of Philadelphia, culminating in the place our city's floaters now call home, Halcyon Floats.
With a welcoming and knowledgeable staff, we provide the best, most relaxing experience to our customers. Our Halcyon Floats staff consists of float enthusiasts, all of whom were clients before they joined the team. We all know the benefits of floating first hand, we look forward to seeing your before and after transformation, and we always want to hear about your experience. So please, feel free to tell us about it. We have a journal in our relaxation area as well, so you can write it all down, or read the post-float reflections of others!

"The water in the tank is about 12 inches deep, and contains 800 pounds of epsom salts. It's saltier than the Dead Sea. Anyone will float in it. The water is also close to body temperature. The tank itself is soundproofed and pitch-black..."
