What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Integratron's unique atmosphere and the deeply relaxing sound bath experience, often describing it as otherworldly. The fascinating history and friendly staff enhance the visit. However, some guests have found the sound bath less impactful than expected, and comfort can be an issue if not prepared.
"Absolutely magical experience!!! My wife and I loved it! The staff is so nice and they really do an excellent job of making sure we are all comfortable and have a great experience. The building is literally one of a kind and the history of it is fascinating. The vibrational sound is so healing, highly recommend you try it at least once!
Thank you to the whole staff and of course our sound bowl musician, such a wonderfully unique experience!"

"This was a very relaxing and grounding experience. I tend to feel stressed and overwhelmed and it was nice to lay here and listen to the soothing sounds and voice of the person leading the experience. The experience was a gift from a friend, it forced me to be present, still and relaxed in a way that I don’t quite often experience."
Raquel Gonzalez
"I was very excited to do a sound-bath at the integratron. I have experienced many sound-baths. Sadly for me I was unimpressed with this particular sound-bath performance. I believe the person playing the bowls did not have a lot of experience. It was very one dimensional and flat.
Normally my body reverberates with the sound and I thought that given the fact that I was in an acoustic dome that it would be amazing. Unfortunately I did not have that experience.
I also was uncomfortably cold as the A/C was on, it was quite warm outside so I get that. I would recommend bringing a blanket."
