The deepest hour of calm
in Fort Worth.
Weightless in an open pool of warm, mineral-rich water — no light, no noise, no gravity. One hour that resets your body and quiets your mind.
Open float pools — never an enclosed pod · Private suite with your own shower
What an hour weightless
actually does.
You'll float effortlessly in 1,000 lbs of dissolved Epsom salts, in water warmed to skin temperature. You may have heard it called sensory deprivation — though in an open City Cave pool, it feels less like deprivation and more like relief. Within minutes, your body stops bracing against gravity and your mind drops toward theta, the deep, meditative state you normally only touch at the edge of sleep.
Where the noise stops
With nothing to see, hear or react to, mental chatter winds down. Most guests describe a quiet, unhurried mind that lingers for days.
Neck & shoulders, off duty
The water cradles your head completely, so the muscles that carry your day have nothing left to do but let go.
Gravity, switched off
Weightlessness takes the load off your spine. For compressed discs and aching lower backs, it's a rare hour of true relief.
Recovery, the easy way
Buoyancy unloads every muscle at once while magnesium-rich water supports a tired body. It's why athletes float after heavy training.
No pressure, anywhere
Zero load on knees, hips and back. Many guests float through pregnancy for relief from the weight on joints — check with your doctor first, especially in the first trimester.
A slower, calmer rhythm
As the nervous system shifts into rest-and-digest, heart rate eases and the transition into deep sleep comes easier at bedtime.
Open pools. Private rooms.
Room for two.
Open pools, not pods
Our float rooms hold an open pool the size of a full-size bed — no lid, no capsule, no enclosed tank. Lights and music on or off; it's your hour.
Completely private
Every float is in your own suite with your own shower. Towels, toiletries and everything you need are provided.
Big enough for two
Our open pools comfortably fit two guests — share the experience, or keep the hour entirely to yourself. Your session, your choice.

"Is the water clean?"
Yes. Here's exactly how.
It's the most common question we get, so here's the honest answer:
Filtered between every guest
Every session has a 90-minute window so the room is fully reset and the entire pool is circulated and filtered before the next guest — through filters built for ten times the water our pools hold.
Salt does the heavy lifting
At 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt, the water is far too saline for bacteria and microbes to survive — the same reason nothing lives in the Dead Sea.
Your own private room
You never share the space, and you shower before and after in your own suite.
Everything first-timers
ask us.
What if I can't swim?
You don't need to. The pool is shallow and the salt makes you so buoyant you float effortlessly on your back — you can't sink.
Is it like being shut in a box?
No. Our pools are open — no lid, no capsule. The room is yours, the light is yours to control, and the door is never locked.
Can I drown if I fall asleep?
No — the salt holds you on your back effortlessly. Plenty of people drift off, and the water simply holds you.
What do I wear?
Most guests float with nothing on, since the room is completely private and swimwear against the skin can distract from the experience. Swimwear is welcome too — towels and toiletries are provided.
Can I float while pregnant?
Floating is popular through pregnancy for relieving the weight on the back and joints. We recommend checking with your doctor first.
Can I float with someone?
Yes — our open pools comfortably fit two guests, or the hour is entirely yours if you prefer. The intro offer covers one guest; a partner can be added for $20 when you book.
Once you've booked, your confirmation email includes our full Before Your First Float guide — everything to know before you arrive.
Science-backed
isn't a slogan here.
Research on floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) has reported meaningful reductions in stress and anxiety after even a single session. Clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Justin Feinstein — President of the nonprofit Float Research Collective — has led research establishing floatation-REST as a promising drug-free approach to easing stress and anxiety.
