Off Topic: Visiting King Spa Chicago


There's a cool spot in the Chicago suburb of Niles, IL. 

It's called King Spa & Sauna. King Spa & Sauna is a Korean spa that's 25 minutes north of downtown Chicago (in good traffic.) 

Most people are turned off my the mandatory nudity in the wet spa area (but there is so much more to the place than that.) Besides, a majority of the visitors are mature enough to not care what you look like in your birthday suit. Just go and be prepared for a new way of life. 

First, you will check in at the front desk. You can redeem a 35 dollar Groupon or pay the full 50 dollar fee. You will receive a key attached to a waterproof wristband with your locker number. 

Before you enter the locker room area, you must put your shoes in a shoe locker. (This is done for sanitary purposes.) Then, you will grab a uniform from the shelf next to the shoe lockers. After that, you may proceed to your locker to change into your uniform. (Some people prefer to head into the bathroom for more privacy. It's up to you.) 

The wet spas and locker rooms are gender-segregated. So, you'll have to leave your spouse or family members of a different gender behind until you come to the Common Area. 

If you want to visit the Wet Spa, you will have to be nude. One thing you can do is grab a towel so you can cover yourself before heading to the shower area. Some guys prefer to cover themselves with their hands due to being self-conscious. They shouldn't care. While there are a few rude guys in every mix, most of the guys aren't looking and really aren't up to small talk. They are there to relax.

If you want to skip the Wet Spa, wear your uniform out to the common area behind the locker room. The signs will show you where to go. In the common area, you will find dry saunas. (The hot sauna is back in the wet spa.) 

Food prices are very high. When you order food, you will scan your wristband key to have the charges added to your bill before you check out. 

There is also a TV room upstairs. 

Most reviews online complain about the staff. I think they're okay. They're just rude the first time you come. When they start recognizing you, they become pretty nice. Don't get emotional if they fuss or scold you about the rules. Just learn them and you'll be fine.
