• Please visit our Plan Your Visit page for details

  • When you are traveling between the bathrooms and the saunas you must be covered in a towel, robe, or other clothing and wearing shoes (we recommend bringing waterproof sandals). If you visit any other part of the museum, you must be fully clothed.

    Swimsuits made in a material suitable for water must be worn in the saunas for health and safety purposes. No overly exposing swimwear please - and no nudity.

  • Our saunas are priced by the SESSION and are a fixed price. Our barrel saunas accommodate up to 4 people so whether you want to sweat it out yourself or schvitz with 3 friends is up to you. No more than 4 people are permitted per sauna bookings, but you can book multiple saunas if you have a bigger group (up to 12 person max).

  • Yes, guests must be 18 years or older to use the sauna. We require proof of valid ID upon entry to ensure compliance with this policy. No exceptions will be made.

  • Sorry, we don't accept reservations for kids. Guests need to be 18 and over.

  • Your safety is our top priority. While we’d love for everyone to enjoy the sauna experience, it’s important to note that saunas may not be safe for individuals who are pregnant or have certain health conditions, such as cardiovascular issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or other heat-sensitive conditions.

    If you’re pregnant or managing a health concern, we strongly recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before using the sauna. It’s better to take a rain check on the heat than to put your health at risk.

  • Only 4 people are allowed in each sauna at a time. You may make multiple bookings for one time slot if you have a larger group. 

  • Although the American Swedish Historical Museum is accessible, the Ebba Sparre Sauna Collective is unfortunately not accessible to those with reduced mobility.

  • There is ample free parking in the parking lot in front of the museum. There are two entrances into FDR park from Pattison Avenue.

  • No outside food or drinks are allowed. If you want to pack a picnic, we suggest enjoying the many picnic sites within FDR Park after your sauna session. No alcoholic beverages are permitted under any circumstances. 

    We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy for alcohol, drugs, and any form of harassment to ensure a safe, respectful, and relaxing environment for everyone.

  • Water stations will be available on site, so be sure to bring a bottle to fill up and stay hydrated! Bottles of water are also available for purchase at the gift shop.

  • There are no showers available (sorry we are just a pop-up) so please plan accordingly .

  • We follow the official City of Philadelphia closures for inclement winter weather and will defer to the American Swedish Historical Museum in the case of heavy snow. The sauna will be closed in case of thunder or lightning storms.

    • Sauna sessions can be canceled by clicking the link provided to you in your reservation email. Free cancellations up to 24 hours before the appointment time.

    • Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at 50% of the cost of the sauna booking.

    • No shows will be charged at 100% of the cost.

    • Rescheduling within 24 hours will result in a $50 rescheduling fee per service.

    • Reservations must be held with a credit or debit card.
