Primal Oceans Salt Cave

Relaxing atmosphere, amazing and friendly staff, and great ambiance.
I have visited quite a few times and customer service has always been top notch. The salt cave is exceptional!

can the experience get any better? Friday evening after a stressful work week went with a friend to celebrate her b’day this was the best peaceful snooze in a longtime. It was a first time experience for both of us and much needed! Karen was very sweet and she has such a calming voice we were transcended into a calming land with her introduction while we lay in the zero gravity chairs. Got the living social deal and its totally worth experiencing atleast once for all the busy bees out there.
You are bound to feel a little dehydrated after the session so drink up lots of H20. Certainely recommend this stress buster!

Spent a personal day here last Monday. I enjoyed the aqua massage (a little nervous at first but that went away after 10 seconds) and then a visit to the salt cave. The atmosphere here promotes relaxation. I will definitely be back!

I love this place. Just thinking about it gets me more relaxed. The staff there is very friendly, and it is very clean. It’s great. Get the frequent visitor card… you’ll use it!

A truly unique experience!
I’ve been to the salt cave twice and it’s been wonderful – from the minute you are greeted to the minute you leave. Small lockers are provided for belongings as well as clean socks. Once inside the cave (made of tons of Himalayan salt), you select a zero gravity chair, put on noise canceling headphones, grab a blanket, and settle in for 45 minutes of relaxation.
Once the session was over I definitely could feel the respiratory effects and, better yet, I was completely at ease.
It’s suggested that you arrive 10 – 15 minutes early, which I highly recommend so as not to be rushed or delay the session for others. The salt cave is located right by the BNSF train line, which makes it very convenient if coming from the city. Ample parking lots can also be found in the area. Get to it!

Better than I thought it would be. I discovered that I much prefer the water massage to that of a human massage because I can tune out from other people completely (introverted). I really enjoyed the relaxation bed because for once I could lay on something without it hurting the hardware in my back. The salt cave was extremely relaxing. The service, design, ambience, and concern by the owners are all excellent. Highly recommended.

I have been twice now with living social deals. It’s very relaxing and comfortable. I do want to keep going but it is a long drive for me — almost an hour and a half, and once I’m out of living social deals the price goes up considerably. Wish they could upon a cave closer to me! The shop has a large variety of salt lamps and other items, but for me the main attraction is definitely the cave.

First visit here and my hubby and I tried out the Salt Cave. The first impression was marvelous: the greeting was extremely friendly, and we were given some introductory information about our upcoming experience and then shown to the storage area. There are cubbies for the shoes and they provide white socks to slip over your street socks or bare feet if you came in with sandals (the white socks protect the loose Himalayan sea salt on the floor of the cave). They also have storage lockers so the guys can stash their cellphones and the ladies can stow their purses. The space outside the cave is beautifully decorated — it’s welcoming and cozy. Since we had a few minutes before our cave session started, we sat in a small sitting area which had comfortable chairs and a binder with additional information about the benefits of Himalayan sea salt.
Once it was time to enter the salt cave, we were free to choose any of the available Zero Gravity chairs, each of which was outfitted with fluffy blankets and Bose noise-​cancelling headphones. After we were each assisted with getting our blankets smoothed out to perfection, we were given an informative speech about the salt cave and some of the benefits of the salt. Then we put on our headphones and the narration and music began. After 45 minutes, the narrator on the music track told us that the session had concluded. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience.
I especially like that they leave no detail overlooked in terms cleanliness: they disinfect the headsets and chairs between sessions, and launder the blankets after each use. And, the entire place, including the restrooms, is spotless. In the sitting area they also have a water cooler and cups in case you are thirsty after being surrounded by tons and tons of salt.
Overall, perfect in every way. Cannot wait to return!

Today was my first time visiting a sea salt cave. It was amazing from the moment tht I walked inside. The staff was awesome and very friendly. The environment was very cozy and relaxing with good smelling scents.
While I was waiting I meet 2 other ladies that were experiencing it for their first time. Overall it was very relaxing and the music that was playing thru the headphones was smoothing. Very stress free

Update: Business replied and tried to fix this, so I upped the star count. FYI, this happened in 2013, so admittedly I’m late posting this.
Original: I bought a Groupon and realized it was close to expiration. I called to schedule an appointment but they couldn’t get me in before the Groupon expired. Instead of honoring the Groupon, they told me I was SOL. It ended up going to waste. I’m disappointed.

I enjoyed the relaxing environment inside the salt cave. However it was pretty rushed to get in the salt cave. We arrived exactly at our appointment time. Note to staff: instead of rushing people to get in the cave, just let them know they didn’t arrive early enough to enjoy the full time — like they do in the massage places — and still make the session enjoyable even though it is a little less time. The whole experience starts when people walk through the door. They know they’re late and they don’t need to be harried even more…

I had been curious about salt therapy for a while. When I saw a Living Social deal for this place, I thought it would be a good opportunity. I booked my 4pm appointment on the same day that I went. I came on Black Friday, and had no clue how busy they would be. When I arrived I found out that the 4 other people scheduled for my session had cancelled, so I had the whole salt room to myself (kinda exciting). The staff member that helped me prepare for my session was very kind and helpful. The spa itself is very inviting and clean. You can really tell that the owners put a lot of money into this place because the quality shows. Primal has secure lockers for your personal items, and provides you with white socks to wear while in the cave. When I got inside of the cave I sat in one of the reclining chairs and listened to the relaxing music on the provided headphones. I know that there are many listed benefits for salt therapy. For me, I think the experience help clear my sinuses a bit. I would come here again, but probably not very frequently due to the distance from home and regular cost per session. I think that if you are interested in salt therapy, then this is a great place to try.

A wonderful self meditation cave loaded with Himalayan salt. The best natural way to open up bronchial paths. The 84 trace minerals the salt carries are also absorbed. Additionally, the salt generates negative ions which help purify and balance your body’s ratio of negative to positive ions. During a session you will be covered with clean, warm Sherpa blanket. Relaxing music will play and guide your mind to a place of relaxation… Breathe, Relax, and Enjoy!
I recommend two-​three sessions a week.
I was easily able fall into a deep meditation and wake up revitalized. My lungs were clear and I was able to breath much easier.
Best time to go is in the AM
Highly recommended you give it a whirl. The Himalayan Salt has many benefits for ones body.

Great place. Very clean facility. Salt cave was so relaxing. Deluxe spa package was worth the price! Very reasonable. Kim was helpful & friendly. Zero gravity water –aqua flow awesome.
Only one con. Only 3 hour parking all around area & spa package was 2 ½ hour’s. There where 3 of use so it took a little lo get & we got a $ 35 parking ticket!

Decided to try a Aqua Massage after reading great things about it’s relaxing powers. The host (Karen I believe) was so incredibly nice and informative. She gave a thorough explanation of what I should expect and was very sweet! I hope to try the foot therapy next. Oh, and side note, the place is beautiful and provides lockers for personal belongings.

I have been to Primal Oceans Salt Cave on several occasions. The groups I have attended with have always been greeted warmly by the friendly and professional owners/​staff. After checking in, you are directed to the well-​appointed «cloak room», giving you a place to hang your coat, individual lockers for your purse/​personal belongings, cubbies for your shoes, and a basket filled with complimentary clean socks for use in the salt cave. The salt cave is a relaxing/​meditative experience. A clean, warm blanket is provided, and the salt cave is explained as the session begins. The 45 minute experience was personally beneficial and enjoyable. I will continue to go back. Of the other three experiences offered, the foot detox and the aqua massage are my favorites! The cleanliness of Primal Oceans is quite evident, as is the attention to detail… be it in answering questions, attending to one’s needs to make the experience enjoyable, giving information on their products. I will be going back… as well as highly recommending Primal Oceans to my friends

I heard great things about salt caves, so when I had a day off I wanted to check it out. I’m a city of chicago resident and la grange was about a half hour away. Primal Ocean salt cave was beyond my expectation of what this experience should be like. It was much like a spa and was very clean and inviting. Primal Ocean provides their guests with zero gravity chairs, warm soft blankets, socks, and they provide bose noise canceling headphones with tranquil music. 35 bucks for 45 minutes was well worth the feeling i had when I arrived, was in the cave, and as I left. I have a feeling I will be visiting again soon. This is a great business,.

Found a deal on loving social and LOVED this place! The owners were some of the nicest women I have ever met. The setup is very cozy and relaxing, not to mention extremely clean. I had to reschedule my a appointment twice and they were nothing but pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great way to relax to try this place! I would definitely go back!
