2nd time we went. Its so peaceful and much needed meditation. Wish I lived closer so I could go more often. Book ahead of time so that you can get the room with just the company you bring!

Very relaxing and great experience. Clean. Quiet. Polite professionals operate the caves. This is a nice getaway hiding out in the chaotic city.

This is a great salt cave! I’ve been to many salt caves in the Chicagoland area and I must say that this one is at the top of my list! This cave is fairly big and has a decent amount of room. Their zero gravity chairs are pretty comfortable as well. The decorations inside of the cave are very pretty, lots to look at. Their music is very soothing and relaxing. If you are polish speaking this is definitely the salt cave for you because they speak polish as well! I like how it has up close parking as well. Plus this cave is always running amazing deals on Groupon! This cave is a must go!!

The scenery is relaxing. The cave is extremely tiny😧, thank me later. My kid gets to dig in salt with beach toys they provide which is cool. They claim sitting in the salt cave for 3 hours=a week at the beach. You get better results taking a salt bath at home then the salt cave method😂.

Very chill and quiet, no frills, great place to meditate and take a nap. Benefits of the salt not withstanding, I still enjoyed a sensory-stimulating experience with mood lighting and soft music. Room temp was perfect with jeans and a hoodie, chairs were the patio zero-gravity type (comfortable), and the desk staff person was such a nice girl. Wear white socks, its a rule to help protect the salt from being discolored by dark colored socks. Hopefully you can make a reservation for a quiet time just to enjoy the space to yourself or with your own group, rather than strangers.

We traveled 40 minutes to check this place out. The nice lady at the front desk told us to put our phones away so that we can relax and enjoy the healing properties of the cave. She mentioned the lights would be on because there was a reservation with a child. The first 10 minutes were very peaceful and relaxing. But what she didn’t say was that there would be 6 children under 5 strolling in 10 minutes after the session started. I love kids but If I would have known the situation I would have come another time. Next time I will ask if multiple children will be in the same room at the same time. It was not a relaxing experience and I paid full price plus the price for booties.

I absolutely love Galos Caves. I always feel so much better after a session. The chairs are comfy, the audio is relaxing. The woman who works the cave is very nice.

They double booked my session. so when you make an appointment make sure you explain everything to these receptionist twice. They have trouble understanding what a scheduled appointment is.Not too smart. As for the salt cave great place to visit.

This spa is interesting. Its not really a spa in my opinion. This is one of those places you should try, for the sake of trying. In my opinion its a bit tacky.Its basically a small room that looks like a cave and has tons of salt in it. I mean it really is a small room. There is salt on the ground, and lawn chairs arranged in a circle pattern. You sit in the lawn chairs. Thats it.It looks interesting but it was not really relaxing. They dont let you use your phone or any electronic device. So you basically are sitting in salt/sand in lawn chairs arranged in a small circle, and just staring at each other. Kind of eerie.Its interesting that they have a cave in the city. But this really feels like a cheap replica of the real experience you should be having.Definitely give it a try. There are not many places in Chicago were you can experience this. It just didnt deliver the relaxing experience I was expecting.

Payed for this via Groupon! The number listed had a generic voicemail stating the number is no longer available!!! The other just rang! Then they sent a message via their email response in some other language! Completely unprofessional & apparently a scam!!

Such a tiny little place tucked away in a part of the city we may have never gone. After finding the Galos Caves online we were surprised at how small and kind of hokey it was when we arrived. Still the experience itself was a relaxing respite away from the world outside!

This place IS a salt cave the Biggest problem is you might as well sit next to a Salt Lamp as They Do Not blow Salt through a Halogenic generator!! You are just sitting inside Stationary Salt. It’s an expensive non treatment for breathing and skin issues. Super Unfortunate they don’t upgrade and it’s not cheap!! Namaste

Love coming here! I have always had severe sinus congestion and frequent sinusitis. I definitely feel with regular visits I rarely get sick in this cold and harsh northern environment.

The inside of fhe waiting room && bathroom was clean. The floors were well mopped && swept, which is hard to do in the city. The front desk girl was sooo friendly && welcoming. However the room inside, although clean, its beat up. Theres a bunch of tips from the faux Styrofoam spears that had the tips knocked off. They should atleast paint on some touch ups or something. Also idt they change out the salt too often. There were some usual large grains of salt on top, which is consistent w/ sea salt, however there was a lot of ground salt towards the bottom which had the consistency much more like common table salt. On a positive note, it was nice that they let us lay down straight in the salt if we wished to.
