Astral Float Spa

This was my first float spa experience! I bought a great deal off Groupon and finally got to use it. I thought it was neat that little Parker, CO has such a forward thinking type of service!
The actual float tank was really cool. I like that he provided ear plugs, towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. for the experience. Each room has a shower which is nice. There are locks on the doors to the room (I mean ones that can be easily broken into, but that’s probably for safety reasons) and that gave me a little more piece of mind. I mean, you are quite vulnerable during this experience! The tanks are spacious, easy to prop open, enter and exit, so I never felt trapped or claustrophobic.
The actual float experience: I think that is for each person to decide… I don’t think you can put a star rating on a personal experience like that. Once I got over the initial mind-​shock, my experience was great!
The only reason why this place loses a star, is that he could seriously use a woman’s touch in there. The décor was very limited, the carpet was stained from all of the salt water, harsh lighting, the bathroom was very bathroomy haha.
In the end, this doesn’t detract from the floating experience, but calling this a «spa» is a definite stretch. It’s like, you enter this bachelor-​esque establishment… have a nice personal float experience where you forget your worries… then exit back out the bachelor-​esque environment. It just takes a way from the whole experience a bit. Adding a woman’s touch would definitely bring this to a 5 star rating!

I think this is a fine place to go if, like me, you’ve never gone to a float spa before. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a while, but never got around to it.
The owner was friendly and shared some tips before my session started so I could get the most out of the experience. The facilities were clean, which is always a plus.
I bought the Groupon for this spa and I do not regret it. After my 90 minute session, I felt more relaxed than any message I’d ever received. It’s as though I had left all of my stress and worries in the tank.
While I didn’t get the same results as you read or hear about from folks, it’s still something I’m going to do again and at this business.

Steve — Your business ROCKS! Thank you so much for the float tank experience. I had no idea what to expect, but you totally explained the process and educated me. Thank you! The sensory deprivation was complete and utter BLISS! Our world is so loud and busy that this flotation experience is the BEST break from it all. — Dan Thompson (Floors By Tomorrow)

I was so happy to find a float spa on this side of town. As other reviews have stated, the shower is in the float room so that’s a definite plus! Another reviewer stated she was chilled during her float but I didn’t find that to be the case at all. The water temperature was perfect. Let me tell you, if you’re sweating while doing a float session with salt water dripping in your eyes, it’s not relaxing at all but Astral has the temperature perfect. I decided to try the little floaty for my neck but after about 20 minutes I stopped using it. It felt like there was too much pressure on my shoulders and once I chunked it, I was is heaven. The owner did good with adding the ventilation to the tank. I’ve went to another float spa and was sweating and choking on the humidity while in the tank. Astral has made sure there is proper ventilation while in the tank which is so helpful!
Tips for first timers… don’t touch your eyes… it will burn. Be sure to hold on to the railing and door while getting into the tank because it is slippery! Also, make sure to thoroughly rinse the salt water out of your ears or you’ll have a case of crunchy, annoying ears for a few days.
Just one suggestion, maybe adding a small mirror in the room would help? Just a little something to make sure I don’t look too crazy before leaving to go out in public!

As a first time floater I didn’t know what to expect but it was a very relaxing and comfortable experience. I appreciated the straight forward nature of the business without any sales pitches before or after the float. Private room with tank and shower was appreciated. Very happy this business is in Parker.

I decided to try Astral out after being unable to schedule with one of the other float centers in Denver, and I am very glad I did. The location is easy to find (you don’t HAVE to take E470, despite what your GPS/​Google maps may tell you), and there is ample parking. I appreciate the simplicity of the facility, as I’m there to float, not get my toes waxed or feel like I’m in a pseudo-​temple. I’ve floated at multiple facilities throughout the country, and this is the first that nailed the water temperature – perfect! The saltwater was the most buoyant I’ve encountered, which was also a plus. As others have commented, having the shower right next to the tank is much appreciated and surprisingly rare in a float center. The owner is very friendly and cool to talk to, and the prices are reasonable with discounts offered for monthly memberships.
Astral is a fantastic flotation center, highly recommend!

NOT FOR FIRST TIMERS!
I have been floating for a number of years now and I love everything about it. The experience you have is amazing, and that is NOT what i am bashing on here.
Astral float studio is great if you have floated before. It is very clean, friendly and as the reviews say, accessible with the shower and tank in the same room. However, the atmosphere needs some work. This is not a problem for those who have floated before because once inside the tank you don’t experience anything, but for those who are apprehensive, it is a nice touch to allow them to calm themselves before the plunge.
Therefore, If you are a first timer, try another place first, and if you do like it then come here.
****To the owner:
I hope you read your reviews and can do something about the following:
— The temperature of the water should be set around 96 degrees Fahrenheit. I was chilled throughout my float, which made it hard to relax.
–I am not sure what the tanks are lined with but it is very hard to relax when the smell of plastic is so overwhelming. I felt as if i couldn’t catch my breath. I am not sure if it is due to improper ventilation in the tank or the plastic smell.
I hope to visit your spa again. Thank you for the consideration

Astral does it right. Tank and shower in the same room. May sound like a no brainer but there are places that have the shower and tank separate. Some even have more than 1 tank in a room… so having everything in one room is how it should be and Astral gets it!
Owner is very personable, knowledgable, and the facility is kept up and clean.
I would highly recommend getting your float on at Astral!

I had been wanting to try a sensory deprivation tank for some time but never enough to want to make a long drive … So I was thrilled to see this spa open in south metro, specifically Parker. I made an appointment yesterday for last night & was impressed with the owner’s knowledge & the facility’s cleanliness. Pretty straight forward event — shower, float, shower. The actual float experience is hard to describe. Very relaxing, no concept of time once you’re there. Evokes similar feelings to a massage, certain yoga poses, and even a really good nap. The experience certainly allows you to get very very still & quiet. I plan to go back & to recommend to others!

I heard about floatation/​isolation tanks from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The concept of eliminating all other stimulus to explore your own mind was alluring to me. The location wasn’t the easiest to find without GPS, but that seems to be pretty standard for this general area; plazas without much signage.
The business is very new. Inside I was greeted by the owner. He gave me a brief rundown as this was my first time ever. The advice he gave was very helpful. My only error was having caffeine before I went.
The facility has four tanks. I went midday during the week and there was no wait. I filled out a brief survey/​waiver. He orientated me to the room. As seen in the pictures, there is the tank and a small shower area. Everything appeared to be clean.
You shower before then enter the tank. it’s completely dark and the water was just slightly below my body temp. I had no issues with the water or floating. It took me a while to clear my mind, which I’m guessing is normal.
I chose the 90 minute session. The price seemed average compared with other similar businesses.
Overall I enjoyed this experience. I’m going to visit again, but I’m not from the area so I’ll have to find another location.

I wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank, and this one recently opened near me. Astral is amazing! With 4 tanks, I was able to get in right away. The experience was beyond my greatest expectations. I’ve never been so relaxed in my life! Honest. For 90 minutes, I felt like I was floating in space. Every muscle in my body was relaxed, and I was able to clear my mind of all the chaos. I saw some other places way up north but this place was the only one I’ve seen in the Southeast metro. Would recommend!
