Hubby and I had a relaxing afternoon at Float Valley. We started off with 1 hour of Fire and Ice…read moreTherapy, then finished off with 1 hour of couples float. The Fire and Ice session consisted of rotating through sauna, quick shower, cold plunge, then standing in front of the infrared light. The sauna was big enough for 2 people to lay down, one on each bench. If you ask the staff, they will provide you with some essential oils to put on top of the rocks to elevate the experience. The cold plunge was super cold and I only dipped my body in for a split second. The tank is big enough for 1 person to lay in, like a bath tub. The infrared light was nice as it's supposed to promote muscle relaxation and pain relief. There is also a speaker in the room which you can use to select your own music. This room is completely private and for our use only - bathing suit is optional! The float session was something new to us and I was nervous about being claustrophobic in the tank. Luckily the tank was big enough for the both of us. You can keep the door closed (but I found the humidity buildup too much which made it hard to breathe), so I left a tiny crack open. You can choose to have ambient light (around the perimeter of the pool) or the starry night above or keeping it pitch black. The staff said that an hour of sleep in the tank is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep in your bed!! The facilities were clean and the staff were kind and helpful. You can fill your water bottle up with cold reverse osmosis water or make yourself a cup of hot tea. I just wish that there is something similar in Mississauga, rather than having to drive to Markham for this experience.

The space was really great and clean. The energy enhancement was interesting - it is recommended to meditate or sleep. The girl at the front desk said people bring a book to read too which would've been nice to know ahead of time. This was my first time doing any kind of float therapy - we really enjoyed it as it was super relaxing to just let go. The tank did get hot so we cracked the door open twice to get some air. You're able to control the lights in the tank as well as the music. The fire and ice was great as well. The cold plunge was extremely cold but it was a fun challenge going between the two. The staff there were super kind and friendly. I'm so happy to have gotten to experience this and with my boyfriend made for a great date day!

She explained thoroughly where everything was and gave us clear instructions. The float tank was fairly spacious for 2 people however, we kept floating into each other which was funny but annoying at the same time. I didn't like that we couldn't dim or turn off the lights. This was very distracting and wasn't able to fully relax. Also the music in our tank/room did not work. The receptionist was very helpful and tried to fix the music issue but it just wasn't working. We told her no worries and improvised with Spotify. Overall, it was an interesting experience. It definitely was a great spa. Just wishing we had options to dim/turn off the lights and have music. We would definitely try it again however, maybe separately in pods to avoid floating into each other again. I also do appreciate the water being the perfect temperature, love the vanity room and the lounge area with refreshments!

A great spa for the first-time floater! The float pods are beautiful and the rooms are spacious…read more(about twice the size of rooms at other spas). They are building a basement-level post-float lounge to relax in afterward - with massage chairs. For now there is still a nice lounge for relaxing in on the main level. The Epsom salts in the small pods offer great buoyancy. The controls in the pod are unique to this float spa. First-time floaters will be glad to know that there is a front desk call button in the float for 2-way conversation. There is also a control to turn music louder, softer or off, lights on and off and to open and close the hatch to the pod. The pod is reasonably dark, but the pod float experience is not completely noise-free as the air ventilation system softly and quietly turns on and off periodically. This didn't bother me on my first visit. But I have been to other, hardcore spas that offer complete sensory elimination; but first timers or casual floaters won't mind. The air in the pod with the bath closed is reasonably warm most of the time and this is needed for the floating in outer space meditative sensation that comes with the air and water being perceived as the same temperature. A few slight improvements to accoutrements need to be made as this was the only spa that didn't have individual-size Vaseline packets or tubs. (You need to dab a bit of Vaseline onto any minor cuts you may have, lest the salt sting). They provide earplugs. And a pillow for your head to rest on if you need it. But the pillow is not necessary. Overall this is a fantastic spa for the first time floater and it's the only spa I have seen so far that has a spacious two-person float tank (the cylindrical, airy "Starlight"). This is a great option for those with partners that are nervous about floating! There is a lounge on the main level as well, tea for relaxing with after you float, and a "vanity" grooming area. I highly recommend this place for those who have heard about floating but haven't yet given it a try! First time floaters get $10 of their first float. Cheers!

First time doing Float Therapy in general and I enjoyed my experience. I was very open to the whole…read moreidea of it and followed the instructions. It is like meditating in the sense that it takes practice to calm your mind even when you're in complete darkness. It was a cool experience overall and i'd do it again every few months when I need a little reset. I felt weightless! The staff are super friendly & explained everything to me. She was very patient. I love that each floating cabin has their own private room, shower etc. There's a communal area to dry your hair. They have lotion, leave-in conditioner, deodorant, robes, ear plugs, slippers etc. You literally only need to bring yourself. You don't even need a bathing suit because they encourage to go in nude. The pod had a nice calming purple-blue light & relaxing music. You can adjust the music volume but not the lighting, it's either on or off. You can leave the door open if you feel claustrophobic but I didn't feel that way. The temperature was warm (both air and water) after the first 5 minutes. When you first enter the water, you're still adjusting and it was my abdomen that was cold as it was above the surface. I'd just gently wave water over it when I got too cool for comfort. But after that initial phase, I wasn't cold at all. It was very clean inside the private rooms although I did book the first spot in the morning. Tips: Please read the instructions before you book! You can't shave within 24 hours, I'd wait an extra day more if you have sensitive skin. The salt is sooooo concentrated that all your cuts will burn. They do provide petroleum jelly as a barrier in case you do have micro cut or sensitive areas. 2) Salt water will burn your eyes. So be careful not to lift your head out of the water without closing your eyes (just in case some water trickles down your forehead). They give you a spray bottle with fresh water and a towel inside the cabin just in case this happens. It happened 3 times to me lol and it's effective. 3) Ear plugs if you don't want salt water in your ear. They were effective. I didn't get any water in. There's a vinegar rinse you spray into your ear to help rinse off the salt. 4) Relax. Be open to the experience. Be patient with yourself and your racing thoughts.

The tank is high enough for me to stand up, wide enough for me to stretch my arms out and my fingers just touch the side and a lot longer then me. Today I left the meditative music on and the light off so was in total blackness. At the end of the hour, the music changed and the lights came on to let me know my hour was up. Get out and take a shower (which is in your room), which you need because you're all slimy and crusty from the salt. They have nice shower gel, shampoo and conditioner.

I wish they had shared the schedule with us because we didn't know the order of our services but it ended up being a fun surprise. We started with an hour long salt floatation which was very relaxing. They dim the lights and play quiet music. I think an hour was a bit long so next time I might book 30-45 minutes. They had hair caps which I wish I had seen before but it was so nice to float. They decorated the ceiling with little stars which was very cute. Next, we had the red light sauna which was relaxing and very warm. We then had a quick massage which I wish we had booked for longer. They used great pressure and it was very rejuvenating. We then had the hand and foot salt detox which was a really unique experience. I've never done that! We finished off in the salt cave which was calm and a great way to end off. Overall, it was a fantastic day. The staff is incredible and we enjoyed each step of the way. I'm excited to return but might switch around the timing of the experiences. They really put in a lot of attention and care!

The experience was pretty good! I would definitely recommend the location for massage, and will say that the float experience was fine but not really for me. The location is really pretty small - you check in at the front desk in the lobby, and then are taken through a hallway which leads right to the changing and massage/float rooms. I do wish there was more separation between the entry/lobby area and the rest of the spa - it somewhat takes away from the relaxation experience when you can so directly hear people coming in off the street while you're sitting there in your robe waiting to be led to your massage/float. They try to combat this with oil diffusers, refreshments, plants, comfortable furniture, etc. but for me the spa atmosphere is still lost a little bit with this layout. The changing rooms are very nice quality and have little individual stalls outfitted with a variety of toiletries (including spray on deodorant, which I really appreciated since I forgot mine!) along with a wall of lockers to secure your belongings. We started with the massage, so that our hair would not be wet from the float during it. I've personally never had a massage before, so I was interested to see how the experience went. Hanna and Francoise asked us about our massage preferences (pressure, trouble areas), and then left the room for us to disrobe and get under the sheets. The room itself was clean, minimalist and tasteful in decor. When they returned, they started off with warming us up by rubbing over the sheets, and expertly draped the sheets depending on which area of the body they were focusing on at the time to minimize exposure. The massage oils they used were heated perfectly, which was very luxurious for us. My favorite parts of the massage were the attention to the hands and face/scalp area, which I now know to ask for more of in the future! Hanna and Francoise continually checked in with us regarding pressure, but other than that it was an hour of quiet and relaxation for us to zone out and enjoy ourselves. Could not have enjoyed the massage experience more, would give Hanna and Francoise a 5 star review. The float experience was a bit less enjoyable, for me at least. We were led to a room that included a large tub to fit the two of us, and given instructions regarding showering before and after the float, using the silicone ear plugs to prevent water from entering our ears, adjusting the lighting, and general information about the float experience itself. Upon taking a quick shower before using the float tub, we noticed that the silicone ear plugs from the person before us were sitting on top of the soap dispenser in the shower stall instead of being thrown out - skeeved me out, and made me question how hygienic the experience could be since obviously the room isn't well attended between guests. Floating itself was just kind of...lackluster. The room is kept very warm and humid and the water is supposed to be kept at body temperature, to create the sensation of sensory deprivation. For me personally, it was just kind of boring! Maybe someone more experienced in mindfulness or meditation would get more out of the experience, but for me it just felt like laying naked in a shallow tepid pool in a super hot humid room. Additionally, try your best to not get any water on your face! The epsom salt concentration in the tub is very high, and I must've gotten some water onto my face which dripped onto my lips. Tastes TERRIBLE! We ended up getting out of the tub after about 20 minutes. Glad we tried it because it sounded cool, but more novelty than actual interesting experience for us. Would give the float itself 3 out of 5 stars.

We came here for a special date night and were really looking forward to a relaxing tandem session…read more-- unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming due to a key part of it not working. We booked the two-hour tandem pod experience, and everything seemed fine until the very end when we asked the staff about a button we had been pressing throughout that never did anything. She told us it was supposed to activate the starry night ceiling lights, which sounded beautiful... but we never got to see it because the button simply didn't work. When we brought this up, the staff checked and confirmed that it should have been working, but it wasn't. She offered to show us how it's supposed to look in Pod 1, but even that wasn't fully functional -- only half the lights turned on. We were offered a $10 discount, which honestly felt a bit dismissive given that a major part of the ambiance we paid for wasn't available. Overall, it's disappointing that we spent two hours expecting something that never happened -- and weren't really told or checked on until we brought it up ourselves. The space and concept are nice, and maybe it's better when everything works. But for our first time and a date night, it felt more like a letdown than the relaxing experience we hoped for.
