The Float Tank Was Invented in Oklahoma City
Not adapted here. Not popularised here. Built here, at the VA hospital, in 1957.

A Quiet Hour in Edmond
Where to find genuine quiet in the north OKC metro, and why it is harder than it sounds.
Edmond is not short of pleasant places. It is short of genuinely quiet ones — somewhere with no music, no screens and nobody to talk to.
The problem with most quiet places
A park has traffic. A library has people. A coffee shop has a playlist and your own phone in your pocket. Quiet that still allows interruption is not really quiet; it is just a lower volume.
What a float suite removes
No phone, because it stays in the room. No screen, no sound, no light unless you want it, and nobody who can reach you for an hour. It is less a place to be quiet in than a place where being interrupted is structurally impossible.
Where we are
180 W. 15th Street, Suite 170, Edmond. Most of our guests come from across the north Oklahoma City metro — Edmond, Nichols Hills, The Village, Deer Creek, Quail Creek, Arcadia and Guthrie.
If an hour is too much
It is worth knowing that a ten-minute red light session or a thirty-minute sauna are also options, and both are a genuine stop rather than a token one.
