Empeiria Sauna House

Empeiria is a social pop-up sauna run by two Des Moines families: a mobile wood-fired sauna seating 8 to 10 adults at 175-185°F with löyly, plus chilled cold plunge tubs at 40-52°F. It pops up on scheduled dates in the Water Works Park parking lot near the Biergarten, with some dates at Middlebrook Farm in Cumming. Sessions are booked ahead, walk-ins welcome if space allows, and swimwear or athletic clothing is required. Private events can be booked.
