The Floatation Center and Art Gallery is back in operation. The service is excellent. The experience is very relaxing. If you want to reduce stress treat yourself to a Float.

I have been floating since 1978, and I have floated in many places around the world. This is a great float experience. Also, I float to get relief from painful injuries, so I rely on this companys service. The tanks and the facility are well maintained and super clean. Alison and Craig are very kind and considerate towards me and towards all other customers who Ive met there, and Ive met a lot as Ive been floating here for years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If youve never done this do it. its quite an adventure. It really doesnt cost that much in the scheme of things and basically what happens is your in a tank floating in water in the dark after a while you dont know whether youre awake or asleep but you get very relaxed.The very 1st time I thought I was awake.It does turn off your senses so the only thing thats really happening is your brain. Like I said I thought I was awake and when they tapped on the door for me to come out I woke up. It was amazing.

Great experience. Been many times now and it is always great. Nice and relaxing.

Great atmosphere for relaxing. Art exhibits rotate regularly so there is always new things to see. Get on their mailing list and take advantage of their 2 for 1 deals when they have them.

I completed my very first float today. My experience here was so informative and comprehensive. From the explanation of the benefits, to the showering process before and after, and the tea at the end, it was a prime experience. I feel so very relaxed after my first float. I will definitely be back!

This float center is so groovy! The staff is thorough, friendly, and professional. Ive been going here for about a year and have had great experiences every time. The mint tea after floating is a touch only they offer! Plus, its constantly evolving as a art exhibit. Every time I come in I get exposed to super cool new mediums of visual art and after floating it is supreme to chill and soak up the culture.Highly recommend for veterans but especially for first time floaters

First time experience and it is life changing. Not in the epiphany but in the mind calming kind. I did experience some auditory things and visual things. As far as auditory I heard people laughing and dogs barking but there was no one there and also I saw green and purple lights. I felt calm and peaceful and it’s great to calm your mind.

Ive been coming here for years and I love talking to Allison and Craig.Truly a hidden gem. I was just there last night to get some TLCWoW! I feel so rejuvenated and rested.Thank you for being here.

A coworker told me about this place a few months back, so I bought the three pack deal on Groupon and gave it a shot. Its great. It helps relieve stiffness in my back, soreness in my muscles, and gets rid of stress. Ive been here at least fifteen times and can say that the place it clean, the staff is friendly, the floats are relaxing, and the post-float tea is good.

Wonderful place. Everyone is super friendly. Been going for years, great experience every time. A must!

Had a wonderful experience! Allisons great, and really provided a comforting environment.

Love this place. The place is very clean, the art is very interesting, the people are professional and very nice. I always recommend it to my friends and family.

I have visited this location many times and each time I have had a great experience. I went recently, had been about a year since last I went. All was well, except the upper floatation vessel had a really bad smell too it. Everything else was great. I had a very relaxing and healing float, but it was quite stinky, which is why I knocked off a star. Hope they fix thay soon.

The float experience itself was sublime, Alison was knowledgeable and instructional. However, her customer service is lacking. I felt bombarded, by someone with hubris who only wanted my money. I felt belittled and disregarded when she called and accused me of making an appointment and then no-showing. the space is great. The customer service, or even just human kindness, is sorely lacking. Ill patronize elsewhere.

The set up is slightly funky but overall its a good experience and enjoyable.

I was laboring with a horrible migraine. A beautiful mild day was unbearable hot, bright, I had an intense stabbing sensation in my forehead and endeavored to sleep the migraine away.Instead I unexpectedly ended up at Float after Allison confidently mentioned a float would eliminate my migraine.I had an hour float. An hour of deep rest and relaxation. Floating, snoring and healing. When I awoke I immediately sensed a shift in my migraine. I was expecting it to be lighter yet there instead the migraine was completely gone!

Great staff and wonderful art.Enjoyed.

I wasnt quite sure what to expect coming here for my first time and the location is definitely tricky without google maps. The solo worker was extremely friendly and the atmosphere calming. Theres a short explanation when you first arrive and after showering youre allowed to go to your flotation tank. I wont describe the flotation since it would be too long of a review but afterwards I felt calm and my muscles were relaxed. For the next few days I also noticed it seemed like the volume of life was turned down and things didnt bother me as easily. I would definitely try this again in about 6 months.

Bought 3 sessions through Groupon that you have to use within 6 months. Didn’t happen and were not flexible at all. Too bad for a small business. Not that the lady at the time was necessarily nice. Would just not recommend this place.

Awesome. The owner Alison is very helpful and has a ton of knowledge. Craig who works there also is so helpful and very accommodating. I have been floating here for a couple of years and have suggested their service to many people. This place is a gem.

Highly recommend! Professional and gracious staff. Floats are the best way to decompress.

When you need any escape from your thoughts, the world and the people around you, FLOAT is the place to go. One hour in the Samadhi sensory deprivation tanks will purify your soul. The feeling of weightlessness gives a sense of calm and helps relieve aches and tensions in the body. It also helps clear the mind for meditation. When you come out of the tank, you are greeted by helpful and kind staff that are knowledgeable and courteous. The art gallery is the most inspiring part of the experience. The freedom of creativity and self expression amongst customers adds a new dimension to the experience. Not to mention they are always having great monthly deals on floats. This place is truly amazing. A hidden gem.

Fantastic experience. So relaxing, and such a great setting. Super helpful, chill staff. Will be making this part of my routine!

FLOAT is a wonderful place to rejuvenate body, mind & spirit. This is the place to go for deep relaxation surrounded by the creative work of local artists. What a great way to support your community while taking good care of your health!

Good experience, Allison is a fine instructor and knows her stuff.You have to book in advance though.

Great customer service and a wonderful owner!

Always relaxing and the art gallery is always changing and fun to look at before and after you float. Regular deals and gallery updates if you join their mailing list too.

I cant say enough about this place...its amazing! To be weightless for an hour is a pretty phenomenal experience. Your body essentially disappears. Ive been doing a lot of yoga & running my muscles have been really sore...an hour in the tank and all the soreness was gone. Same goes for after a long day of being a massage therapist/yoga instructor...feeling tired & tense...after floating Im refreshed & back to normal. Ive even fallen asleep in the tank a couple times...ultra relaxing. Im totally addicted.The owners, Alison & Fil, make you feel right at home.When youre done floating theyll make you some tea...you can sit on the comfy couch in the middle of the art gallery and take in all the beautiful work that changes regularly. So theres always something new to see.Im telling all my clients about it, and everyone whos tried it has had the best experience.Youre gonna love it!

Place is awesome. Me and my girlfriend went for our first time it was awesome a little weird getting used to the whole effortless floating. Awesome totally recommend

The massage/float combo is a perfect stress beater!

Fantastic way to re-energize, re-focus and renew your spirit. Highly knowledgeable and pleasant. Allison and Craig are awesome!!

Great experience. Im claustrophobic and I did great in the tank

Horrible experience and rude, please go elsewhere

There are few alternative experiences that match an hour in a floatation tank. At FLOAT in Oakland, you will experience deep relaxation and a mind set that will set you free.

Ive used their service once and need to go back I talk about it all the time and share my experience with all my clients who are open to it....the Art Gallery is definitely a plus and a site to see everytime I have come to see just the art

Awesome place - only wish that I lived closer so I could go more often/easier.

The framed Altered States movie art is a nice touch....

Great place! Especially Craig!!!

Great place, great experience

Visiting this location is always an awesome experience.

This was an experience. Great service

Sensory deprivation... Enough said.

A unique and very special place, where individuality and well-being thrive!

Amazing experience!! Great people, wonderful service. Do it!

Absolutely wonderful! I loved it.

Wow

Great art studio!

Was thinking about trying this place out but the woman on the phone was incredibly rude! Well be going somewhere else.

Love this place.
