The Integratron

The Integratron is an absolute must if you’re anywhere near Joshua Tree. The sound bath was incredible — the vibrations from the crystal bowls were next level and left me feeling deeply relaxed and recharged. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more special by sharing the fascinating history behind the building. I especially loved learning about the original purpose of the Integratron and its alleged alien influence — such a unique story! It’s a family-run operation now, and it was really cool hearing how the family became involved and how they’ve continued its legacy for so many years. Highly recommend this magical, otherworldly spot. I’ll definitely be back!

An absolutely beautiful place! We went on a Friday and thoroughly enjoyed walking the grounds and the sound bath they offer brought our mind and souls to a unique destination. It was fun exploring the gift shop afterwards.

Great experience for my boyfriend and I while visiting Joshua Tree! Make sure to adjust the padded mat. I didn’t know it adjusts and my back was in pain after (I wish they told me). Also, they need a body guard or someone to shush snoring people. Otherwise, it was an incredible experience since Rose was so great with the sound bath and explaining the whole experience for my boyfriend who had his first experience with sound baths !

Wow! If you love mystery, history, and maybe even alien encounters, you will love the Integretron. We knew about the story prior to visiting and did some research. My wife saw they offered a "sound bath" with musical bowls. We were fortunate to get tickets for this great experience. We highly suggest purchasing tickets in advance (a week or two out). We arrived early and enjoyed the grounds and gift shop. Very clean property with restrooms and a bottle refill station. The sound bath was amazing and relaxing. It lasted around 45 minutes, and it let's you disconnect. Highly recommend this experience.

I attended a 60‑minute sound bath at the Integratron in Landers (just outside Joshua Tree), and it was absolutely transformative. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted with a peaceful “hammock village” and fresh lemon water—perfect for unwinding before stepping into the dome. The sound bath begins gently, then crescendos into deep, enveloping tones that literally vibrate through your entire body. Over the course of the session, I drifted into such deep relaxation that I experienced an almost meditative journey—some even see colors or have visions

This is the most fabulous sound bath I have ever experienced. The buildings is ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. Well worth the drive to Landers. Only $59 person. Reserve are a must they book up quickly.

Really cool place and worth the drive. The sound bath experience is amazing. You can feel the sound all over your body. Highly recommended.

An interesting and important part of desert history. The property is well maintained, staff friendly. Was chatting with the gentleman in the gift shop, he was very knowledgeable of the area.

First off, I would like to thank each and every one of the staff members here at Integratron! This was our first time here and will definitely be back! I can't even put into words how amazing this experience was. It's definitely something worth doing at least once in your life! The gift shop had so many different things, from incense to crystals to merchandise. I brought home some Sage & Lavender room spray and it smells AMAZING! We will definitely be back! Thank you again to Joe, Mike, Rose, Kristine, Drayton, Richard and everyone else who was so kind and welcoming

Very underwhelmed by this experience. The positive was that the staff were nice, and the grounds were pretty and well kept (although there weren't any hammocks hung up on our visit which was unfortunate). The building was cool but there wasn't much time to enjoy it. The sound bath was less interesting or immersive than sound baths I've done at yoga studios before. The person who led the experience for us played an audio track for the last 10-15 minutes. I was so confused and surprised that it really took me out of the experience (another staff member was in the room so this must be common). They have you arrive 30 mins early but it's very fast to check in and there's almost nothing to do while you wait. Overall it did not feel worth the price and I'd opt for a sound bath in the national park next time.

Very cool experience! Folks are very friendly. The sound pitch wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. Attendees were very considerate. I didn't "feel the experience" The weather was HOT high 90s but again it was early June that I'm here.

The Integratron is cool and full of history. They have weird hours though and you can't go inside unless you book a $55/person sound bath in advance. I didn't get to do that this time. They have a small gift shop and an outdoor seating area with bathrooms. This place was pretty crowded despite the remote location. I'd go back to try the sound bath despite the steep price. The staff were friendly. If you want to see the Giant Rock, it's about a ten minute drive from here along an unmarked dirt road, but Apple Maps was able to lead us there.

I joined friends at a soundbath, which was my first time. It was pretty relaxing. The way sound travels in the room is interesting, though you can hear other people when they fall asleep. It's the desert and a thing to do here, so try it. They have cool water bottles, my friends have.

AMAZING experience! Such a worthwhile detour from Joshua Tree. Cool history, restorative hour inside, friendly people. Richard at the store desk is the best. Beautiful grounds to hangout before/after as well. I would come back in a heartbeat!

George Van Tassel was really onto something here. The structure is amazing. The sound bath is unreal. I wish I could go every week. Be sure to fill up your water bottle with the magic well water too.

This was worth the visit. The structure of the wood building is beautiful. The sound bath was so peaceful I completely left my body. I also liked their shop with crystals and candles.

This was a super fun experience. The upper level of the dome is so comfortable and peaceful. They had cushioned mats for everyone with fresh sheets on them. You were helped up the very steep stairs. I have mobility issues and I still made it up and they were so lovely to help. The sound bath was very relaxing. I loved the tones and the feeling of being so at peace. I thought the experience was a good length of time. It would have been nice to linger in the dome for a bit afterwards but that's okay. I understand bookings need to run on time. I could have done without the technician's hilarious thoughts on aliens and the other weird things he said about the area and mystical things. Sure, wax poetic on the weird prognostications, that doesn't bother me but he took half the time in the dome talking. Are we here for you or are you here for us?

The weirder the better... Always looking for something unique and special. I'll also go to the ends of the earth to relax. Found all that right here! The Integratron is described as the fusion of art, science, and magic. Located approx 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. The sound bath experience is what most come out here for. We scored tickets last min from a few cancelations so if you're having a hard time finding a reservation just keep checking their website. Arrive early to begin winding down. Drink some of their well water, snooze in one of their hammocks, and check out their very cool gift shop. Once it gets closer to your 60 min sound bath you'll be escorted into the building. You'll be very comfortable on your own mattress with sheets. Once the music begins there are 20 quartz crystal singing bowls played live that might take you into another dimension. Just relax and let everything go. I felt like I slept for 8 hours when I left. Some fun facts & tips: *By reservation only (book well in advance or keep checking their website for last min cancellations) *Wear loose and comfortable clothing *Bring a blanket *Take advantage of their well water by filling up an empty water bottle *Anyone may visit even if you're not participating in a sound bath but you won't be able to step inside the building So if you're looking for something unique in the middle of nowhere and enjoy relaxing you might want to find yourself here. Also, don't forget to stand right in the middle of the building itself where magnetometers read a significant spike in the earth's magnetic field!!!

Really enjoyed this experience. I would have preferred that the guy working the bowls would have saved all the history/commentary for after the experience. He took 20 minutes with all the talking and the bowls were only maybe 35-40 minutes Supposed to be an hour. But still worth doing.

How do I put into words what cannot be understood-only experienced... This place is magical, miraculous and mystical. I've attended many of sound healing sessions, but none like this. In fact, the 1st session at 10:15 with Kristine was so phenomenal that I attended the one directly after with Karly, and the third with Joe at 5:15. All mind blowing. Each was profoundly healing and transformational. The family owned staff are top notch keeping the grounds well maintained, decorated just right and preserve the sacredness of Integratron's true nature. The acoustics, space, energy, and healing that takes place are like no other. Come experience this for yourself. I invite you to go to the depths of your soul and experience true wonderment.

This was such a cool and unique experience! I loved the grounds- so relaxing and zen. The staff are all part of the family that owns the building. You are ushered into the integratron itself at your scheduled time, and given a description of what is going to happen. Then you go up a set of steep stairs and find a cushion. You are told a history of the place, and a description of how it was built. Absolutely fascinating! The sound bath itself is a beautiful experience. Very calming and meditative. We did hear a guy snoring opposite us in the structure, but it wasn't too disruptive. I highly recommend checking this oul place out if you are in the area and into unique experiences!

I knew roughly what to expect but this was genuinely an otherworldly experience in an interesting space with a unique history. Enjoyable as a trippy, relaxing hour or so even you don't buy into the aliens/ley lines/cosmic energy spiel.

What a fun experience! I've been dying to try a real sound bath experience. I've had my usual sound bath at my yoga studio but this was a whole new experience. At first you're taken into the dome, rules are explained and the staff talks about the history. Then you go up a very steep ladder, you take a spot (all of them are the same) your instructor leads you through the exercise and you experience the sound bath. It's such an amazing relaxing 30 min. My only advice is, don't fall asleep! They do warn about nudging your neighbor awake if they snore lol 11/10 I will return

My now-husband and I did a private sound healing for us and our families to kick off our wedding weekend in the desert. The Integratron is a family-owned and operated business, and their entire team is truly a delight to work with. The sound healing is gorgeous, the history is fascinating, and the space is beautiful. There's really something for everyone. If you're considering a private event here, definitely do it. Thank you so much for having us! I can't wait to visit again.

I was thoroughly impressed with everything from the check-in to the grounds and the entire soundbath space and experience! It was one of the most tranquil and rejuvenating experiences I've had. I want to give a special shout out to the staff who found my gold bangle, responded immediately to my inquiry and returned it safely to me.

The pros...cool space and ambiance. Nice people good message Cons...I didn't hear anyone say "that was amazing or life changing". It seems like a great way to make money off of people's expectations for this huge spiritual experience.

Question of the day: "If the energy is so powerful then what doesn't it prevent snoring?" Asked one peeved customer. The guide had to ask her to turn on her side during the experience. Hmmm. I participated in March and it was 76°. I wore socks and brought a long sarong scarf. This was light enough to not be hot. The dome has natural sun windows so an eye covering is recommended. I had a phantasmagorical experience. It's a bucket list item. If you come here for an out of body experience then the expectation may be too high. If you already practice Higher Viber and empowering meditative thought shifts, then this will be an added water-cooler conversation. If you benefit from hz frequencies and being one in the present moment, you can dig this experience. I experienced positive customer responsiveness via email and in person. I experienced cool vibrations and conversations. I also thought the price value for the experience was comparable. I don't feel creepy energy. I also didn't believe I was going to be transported. Though that would have been ethereal. Heck, if the other lifeforms can destroy the student loan building, we all would "believe." As I digress... If you have teenagers or adults that don't do any self-reflection or quiet moments, this won't be their jazz. But they could chill out in the hammock area which is no fee while you participate in the sound bath experience. If you're with negative Nancy or Critical Carl, leave them in the courtyard as well. Here are 7 TIPS to make your time and financial resources count. Read the website related to age and Covid guidelines. Bring an eye covering so that you can transcend into your experience faster.Otherwise the sun rays may be distracting. You only have an hour. Arrive at least 20 minutes early to enjoy the hammocks/courtyard. A chill way to pre-relax from the long drive and fill your canteen with the well water. Come with an intention that you want to focus upon. This way you'll leave with your own expectations. And don't waste your time.  I had a few folks send me their intentions. I placed them under my leg along with a 100 dollar bill to  symbolize my prosperity intention. Important observation: You must walk upwards, a wood angled ladder about 8 steps? (that is secured), into a wide open hole, to enter the sound bath arena and exit downward the same way. I would recommend this as a solo, group, friends, higher vibers or romantic partners activity. And if I was in the UFO culture or a solar home architect this would def be on my list. Visited on: Thursday Time participated: 145 pm Crowd: 20 customers Parking: Free Activity: Gift shop and courtyard -free Sound bath: $50

Amazing!!!! Peaceful and Healing! We came to a night sound bath and left feeling a 200 pounds lighter

Ok ... here's another place you should put on the list any time you're planning to visit Joshua Tree or Giant Rock in Landers... George Van Tassel was an inventor and created the Integratron with a wheel cycle spin motion on the outer edge designed to "charge up" the machine... the machine is not functional but is still visited... Since his death... all plans regarding the machine have been confiscated by the "powers that be..." so we won't truly know what the original function of the machine really was... George is the founder of the Institute of Metaphysics and their members would fly out to several locations nearby in Landers to gather and UFO watch ... as some were considered "contactees" ... they would receive information from our little friends up in the sky and share their findings and "knowledge" with the rest of the group ... And sometimes you would leave with more information than you knew before... Or become a contactee yourself... The ufo lore world of the 1950's still stands... And from the looks and likes of it... not much else has changed either ... The Integratron is also a perfectly designed structure... it's acoustic design will astound you when you enter the structure and explore its acoustical secrets... If you got the guts... and the curiosity ... Venture into a new reality... You may never come back though... To your old reality...that is...

I didn't have a transcendental experience here (but some people do!), but enjoyed it nonetheless. I booked the Integatron because I thought that a sound bath seemed like a "thing to do" in Joshua Tree and this seemed to be the recommended place to do it. It is pricey - over $50 a person after fees - but from what I can tell even the most inexpensive sound baths run about $30 and this was definitely a very professional experience. Make sure to read the story behind the Integatron, and if you are able, watch Anthony Bourdain's episode on Joshua Tree as it will put everything into context and make your visit that much more interesting. They tell you to arrive 30 minutes before your reservation time which worked out to be completely unnecessary. You check in and are told to wait outside until the reservation time, at which point someone will come get you. Even so, once we walked over to the dome, there was a good ten minutes of "instructions" before we went one by one up a ladder into the south bath room. Some people definitely straggled in 10-15 minutes late without a problem. I still recommend getting there a little early so you can enjoy the grounds a little, but don't kill yourself or stress out if you're running late. You are given a sheet to cover the mat and they are pretty adamant about all sheets being properly placed on the mat (which from a hygiene perspective I totally appreciate). As for the sound bath itself - while it did not profoundly affect me - was relaxing, very cool, and a very unique experience. Definitely worth doing once, but not sure if for $50 I'll be returning to do it again.

Loved it. Extremely cool experience. Highly recommend the adventure. Get there early and bring a picnic.

We arrived about 30 minutes early and sat around the grounds waiting until it was time. The grounds were nice and shaded so it was a pleasant wait. Also, plenty of bathrooms that were clean. Once inside the dome and upstairs, I wasn't sure why the mats were not facing the bowls. The mats were incredibly comfortable but I felt like it would have made more sense to face the bowls. The guy had some weird speech about aliens and UFOs which completely lost me before he started playing the music. I pretty much fell asleep and got a nice nap in. Is this something that I would pay roughly $50 dollars to do again? Probably not but it was an interesting experience to do once.

Very beautiful grounds and unique experience. I didn't catch the name of the person who played the bowls for us, but she gave an excellent and thorough explanation of the history of the building, and the science behind the sound bath. I really enjoyed the information she shared before the sound bath. The experience itself was wonderful; provided great introspection and excellent soothing. Unfortunately there was also A LOT of snoring, which kind of took away from the meditative opportunities for me-- but otherwise, excellent.

Not sure what all the hype is about. Maybe because I wasn't given any instructions on how to have the best experience. We were told to wake people up snoring so imagine just falling asleep and someone tapping you to wake up. Frustrating. My friends loved it but I was underwhelmed. The padding you lay on is uncomfortable and the temperature was very cold. It's not that I had a bad time but I wouldn't come again. I had a spa experience with no massage, no sauna, and no facial. Just spa music basically. No visuals no real body vibrations. I would have rather paid for a 60 min massage.

You don't need to spend any money to enjoy this quirky little roadside attraction, which is on the way to Giant Rock, which is, well, a giant rock where aliens gave instructions to George Van Tassel to build this rejuvenation retreat, now used for $50 meditative south baths. Instead, enjoy photo ops of the quirky art appointments, a hammock bay, a cool old dude named Boo, and a public chalkboard that surround the 38-foot tall, domed, metal-free structure that was funded by Van Tassel's UFO conventions.

Family owned, family run. Pristine. A must experience for new comers and regular JT visitors.

What a magical place! The history and science of the Integratron are absolutely fascinating. The sound bath in the upstairs room was mind blowing. I completely recommend spending the extra money and getting VIP access. The experience you'll have will be profound. We got a great introduction by one of the three sisters who own this place, before going upstairs and choosing our super comfortable mat. The bowl player did a great job playing, the sound was out of this world. Great experience, absolutely worth every penny!

This attraction is about 20 miles north of Yucca Valley. We were warmly welcomed as we entered the Integratron Gift Shop and invited to enjoy their shaded garden.

Loved this place. Love weird desert experiences. As a fan of sensory deprivation tanks, this is kind of like the opposite but in a fantastic way. This is such fun and unique experience. It's a bit of a drive from Palm Springs proper but it's a fun drive with lots of interesting stuff to take photos of on the way if you're into photography. Love the alien vibe this place. Highly suggest making this a pairing with La Copine afterwards for a fantastic lunch after a meditative experience.

A Healing Experience with an incredible history set in the High Desert and family owned and operated. I highly recommend it if you are open to new experiences.

I was thrown out of a star party held at the Integratron years ago--my uncle got hammered on tequila and started some shit with one of the junior astronomers, and we were asked to leave. It was humiliating, and needless to say, my shame has kept me away ever since. That being said, I had a great time at the Integratron up until that point, and I hope the rumors are wrong and this place sticks around, because I loved my sound bath and the community there. My uncle is dead, I myself no longer drink, I have a kid now, and I hope this place is around in a few years, because I would love my son to experience the stars properly.

The most monotonous and inharmonious sound bath ever experienced! A money making machine seams to be the only motivation for the family that runs it. That's the feeling I instantly sensed from their attitude. From the rushed historic introduction by the "sound therapist", the owner cousin, ( he replied to me that he has to speak fast since they are on a time crunch! ) to the impatience of the owner giving safety instructions on how to climb the stairs made it clear his only concern is not to get in trouble. Make sure to have a hand full of Psilocybin before the session, that might spice things up a bit, the ones who describe it as ua trascendentale experience must be under the influence.They would have had the same or better epiphany in front of their lava lamps and a random meditation playlist. If you are really into acoustics, for the same amount or less, I recommend you buy yourself a ticket to the Disney hall where at least you can hear real talented musicians not impatient and unskilled pretend to be sound healers!

I have experienced sound baths before, but never in such a unique setting. The Integratron feels uniquely California, and it's placement out by Joshua Tree with nothing much else around feels right. Spend some time reading a bit about the history, and then show up a little earlier to hang on the grounds and visit the gift shop. The only thing that would make this place even cooler would be a little coffee/tea stand for the cold windy days you might be enjoying the grounds.

Such an amazing time and incredible sound bath. I just wish they had some sort of "snore waker" person stationed up there during the bath to wake snorers up. We had this lady who was unfortunately diagonal from us (so it sounded like she was in my ear) snoring the entire time so it really didn't let me get into the "zone". The sound bath guy can't wake them because it would interrupt his bath and also her snoring buddy didn't seem to phased. ‍

The staff and experience of the Integratron is amazing but at $60 per person is a bit steep. I remember it being $35 on my first visit. I understand that prices for everything has gone up since the pandemic because of shortage of products or logistic issues but this here, is a service so I am boggled by the uptick. I am hoping that someone on the staff reads this review and make some adjustments because I have been telling almost everyone I met that I thought would enjoy this experience about this place and maybe its my fault that they have increased demand.

They took something unique and cool and turned it into a meditation center shaped like a dome. There's absolutely nothing to do there if you're not going to sit in one of their sound baths because they require reservations, they make a ton of money on those sound baths and could care less about anybody else stopping by. Nothing will change what's happening there because there is always an endless supply of idiots willing to travel hundreds of miles to do something they could do almost anywhere else (oooh, but in a round building!) The original intent of the building is completely stripped. Yay, profit. "Saw a Dead head sticker on a Cadillac" -Don Henley

I was very happy to find out that they started doing outdoor sound baths (due to Covid). I had a trip booked for my boyfriend's birthday and would have been bummed to have him miss out (I've already been, a few years ago). Kudos to them for adapting and continuing to offer this opportunity. A FEW NOTES: -It's not the same experience as inside which isn't to say that it's worse. You are obviously not inside the structure and don't get the acoustic benefits. You're outside (which may be chilly) so you're less cozy (inside, they give you blankets and you drift off into a magical world of relaxation). However, the outside experience allows you to look at the stars during the sound bath which is pretty incredible as well. -TIP: Bring a blanket to lay on the ground. Chairs are cool but if you want to fully relax, I'd recommend at least having that as an option. Maybe a pillow as well. -TIP: Bring extra blankets and warm clothes. It gets chilly at night and being cold can really affect your experience. You want to be as cozy as possible for this. -TIP: If you're coming from LA, don't book on a Friday unless you can leave in the morning. We left LA at 330pm and didn't get to Pioneertown until 8pm. We had to call and reschedule for Saturday but luckily, they were super flexible. -You have to keep your mask on for the entire sound bath but it honestly wasn't that distracting since my face was kind of chilly anyway so the mask kept it warm. -Their website is great and makes for simple booking (shows you how many tickets are still available). -Large parking lot.

Always great to have a sound bath at the best place possible. Been here several times and coming back

I wanted to do something different for my birthday and my husband took charge and booked a reservation! It's a decent drive from LA to Joshua Tree so be sure to make a weekend out of it. When we arrived, we were the first of our group. There's a big unpaved lot to park on and checked in. After that, we browsed the grounds - beautiful landscaping of desert succulents and cacti, statues and hammocks to relax in. They also have multiple restrooms on the premises too which is nice. Once it was time, the gathered us outside of the structure and went over the basics. Once inside, there was memorabilia on the walls and they discussed the history. I was the first to go up the ladder and enter the second floor. The crystal bowls were laid out and in front of it were rows of cushions with blankets and pillows. Extra blankets were available too for anyone that wanted extra comfort and warmth. We choose two spots and got situated. It was really cool to gaze at the architecture of the structure and hear more about why it was built. I won't give that away! It was time to close our eyes and enjoy the sound bath. The way the sound traveled around that dome was insane. The vibrations too were a trip and was very relaxing and emotional. Some people breathe loud, doze off and even snore. It's polite to nudge them if they do snore just because the sound travels intensely and someone could be snoring from across the room and it sounds like it's right next to you! Overall, I'd do this again because it was a special and unique experience. It was worth it!

If you're in Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, or anywhere really, make sure the Integratron is on your to-do list. I had plans to be in Joshua Tree this past weekend and made an appointment to stop at the Integratron on my way to J Tree from LA. Wow, this is going to be my move every single time I find myself in this area. I honestly don't know why it took me so long to check this place out but boy was it worth the wait!! I actually missed the parking area on my first go around but it brought me to this neat little historic plaque about the Integratron (see pictures). I turned around, parked, and entered the desert oasis. I still cannot believe how awesome this place is. From the outside waiting area to the hammock lounging to the bathrooms to the magic of the dome, it was just an overall incredible experience. The Sound Bath was magic. Pure magic. I had a public bath (and contrary to everyone's beliefs - there is no water involved, rather you are bathed in the magical sounds of the quartz bowls). There were approximately 25-30 people in total and only a few snorers. I drifted into a meditative state about five minutes into the sound bath and came back to with about five minutes to spare (thanks to the movement of my neighbors). It's so hard to describe what exactly the Integratron is so I will just end this by saying, you have to go and experience it for yourself. I know I cannot wait to go back and to bring friends and family so they can experience the magic as well.

Absolutely amazing experience! The session was beautiful, the teacher/guider has such good energy as well. Be sure to schedule in advance. They are often booked weeks ahead of time.

Big fan of sensory deprivation tanks in general and this feels pretty adjacent as an experience. The sound bath experience is about 40 minutes in length where you lay on a cushioned mat and have a sound therapist bask you in quartz sound bowls to align your chakras.

WOW!!! - Phenomenal!!! My wife & I had our first experience with a sound bath at the Integratron. I had previously assumed this would be a one and done adventure for us. I was wrong. We will be returning for a number of reasons. I had never experienced a sound bath before. I would have to assume anyone who has experienced a sound bath, has never experienced it quite like what the integratron has to offer. Music is a performed art. No two musicians are the same. I'm sure the same can be said for a "sound healing practitioner". The environment and the acoustics associated with the architectural design is something that just can not be replicated anywhere else. I don't believe in hocus pocus or magic. We can all marvel at a magic trick, but in the end it's just a trick. I do believe in the power of the body to heal itself. I do believe in the power of positive thinking. Not name it and claim it, but our minds can set us on a journey either positive or negative. Most importantly, I believe in the power of prayer. Our first experience at the Integratron was well worth the price of admission, just for pure enjoyment. For me, this "sound" bath, was a concert of sound like I had never experienced before. For me, this sound "bath", provided a cleansing I had never experienced before either. For me, I prayed to God, that He would use this experience to help cleanse my mind, body, and soul. God will often answer our prayers when they are in alignment with His will. I felt that with the experience of my first sound bath. God provided a healing through this experience for me. If a person is not open to the healing nature of a "sound bath", you might not experience much. If you are open to it, you might just get more than you expect.

Nancy K, there should be no need to report this review because my review is an honest, un-biased review.

Yelpers: Please stay tuned for an update because negative, positive, or indifferent, our reviews are important in helping us choose where we want to spend our hard-earned money. Thanks!

I've visited 3 times and each time was completely different in so many ways. The first time a few years back, was prompted after watching Anthony Bordain's no reservations. He visited the California desert with Josh Homme of the Queens of the Stone Age who showed him around Palm desert and then the high desert. There's a 2 minute video of their Integratron visit on his site. Back then before they became more sophisticated with an internet site to book reservations, you could show up on a designated weekend, pay your $20, and wait your turn to get in. Now you can book way in advance. There is a cute little gift shop with shirts, water bottles, and a Moby CD for purchase. The acoustics in this little dome are fun also. The grounds will keep you busy with little art installations here and there and depending on the time of year you are visiting, you'll be trying to warm up by the fire, or cool down under the misters. I like swinging in the hammocks. There's plenty of chalk to share your message or leave behind a creation or two. Once inside the main attraction on the ground level, there's much to read about the history as you wait for the prior group to descend and then you get to climb up the ladder one at a time. I prefer not to color your experience once inside. I always enjoy coming and have noticed so many improvement to the grounds and even the group experience. They now have mats with elevated wedges for your head that certainly has cut back on the snoring problem. If you can turn off your head, you will really appreciate this experience. It is very difficult for me to remain conscious. I tend to fall asleep yet wake up refreshed. I look forward to taking more friends there. The acoustics inside the dome are surreal. Make sure you visit during your next Joshua tree experience. Afterwards ask for directions to take the cut off road to Pappy and Harriets to complete your high desert experience.

Whoa!! I didn't know what to expect when my friends brought me here. All I can say is that this was an experience I will never forget. The sound bath flows through your whole body. I felt so relaxed when leaving this place. Thank you guys I will definitely be back!

They need to be more transparent about the accessibility of this attraction. Be clear here- if you are old or "non-nimble" by any stretch- this is not for you. They do not make clear that there is ONE and only one way to get up to the second level of the sound bath. It is a steep wooden ladder that you must climb to get to the platform . An elderly man was escorted into the dome- the guide said he needed to be able to climb the ladder . He could barely stand. To preserve his dignity in front of 30 people he said yes. While the guide is giving directions the man was struggling to get up the steep ladder with a man above and a person supporting him from below. It was excruciating. He finally reached the top. Then we started lining up to make the ascent . An older woman and her friend were next. The woman made it to the top and my friend stepped to the bottom of the ladder - then everything happened at once, so fast. The other woman fell, head first , upside down, back through the hole and hit her head on the step( rung) , then her shoulder, then her leg went through the railing. Next came the blood. Truly one of the most horrific things I've ever seen or heard. I ran out yelling for help. Since you are in the middle of the desert, it took a while for emergency vehicles to arrive. We ended up leaving. I called today to inquire about her and I was told she was " in good care " I asked if she was paralyzed and was told no , but was then told that was all they could say. I just wish they cared less about cell phones, snoring, bathroom breaks, shoes, etc and cared more about the safety concerns of this place. I am amazed that there are no ADA regulations met. FFS, just build a ramp in the outside back of the dome....would that somehow interfere with the sound experience? the payoff of safety would outweigh any negatives. The idea is great and I was truly looking forward to this relaxing meditative experience, only to experience one of the most upsetting and disturbing things I've ever witnessed
