The tanks & rooms here
No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.
The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.
A room-sized open pool of salt water. Zero enclosure, easiest for two, most spacious of all.
Water & cleaning at Float Milwaukee
Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Float Milwaukee's own information: UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
Wow, if you are looking for relaxation and renewal this is the place. The floating is an AMAZING experience. There is relaxing music and soothing blue lights. Afterwards they offer you specialty teas and there is also a "getting ready room" with hair dryers so you can do your hair and make-up and leave like a new…
I've never heard of floating and wanted to try something different. So I treated myself on my birthday. WOW, I enjoyed it!! I was so RELAXED afterward, but my hour went by so fast. I enjoyed the experience so much that I'm signing up for a membership! 🤗 The staff was friendly and patient, answering all my questions.
This is my third time floating at Float Milwaukee and I honestly cannot say enough good things! I was very skeptical at first and wasn't very interested- I love the water but mainly I have a very hard time sitting still and winding down. I also thought to myself, who the hell can float for 60 minutes?!
This was a really interesting experience. The staff were super cool and I appreciate them going over the rules. If you use the pod, it does get pretty warm inside. I had to open it to cool down, but it didn't ruin my experience at all. If your stomach feels a bit odd, they have mint tea to help out.
Your first float at Float Milwaukee
Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.
