Whether you’re craving deep relaxation, a skin refresh, or a reason to get outside, Philly’s wellness scene in 2026 makes it easier than ever to feel your best.
Ebba Sparre Sauna Collective pop-ups at FDR Park
This health-focused pop-up experience comes from the local space-making design and development practice, Scout. Open now through March 29, three saunas have once again been installed on the terrace of the American Swedish Historical Museum to offer a heated way to unwind this winter. An ode to Nordic sauna culture, Philadelphians can book sessions for up to 4 people in a sauna for 45- minutes ($120) or 30 minutes ($100.)
Guests are provided with complimentary towels, compostable swimsuit bags, and storage lockers, but some extra goodies like sauna hats, socks, long-sleeve t-shirts, and sheet masks are also available for purchase. The best part? Each reservation comes with free admission to the museum. Scout is donating 10% of all revenue back to the ASHM, and bookings can be made on Ebba Sparre’s official site.

Restore Hyper Wellness
Restore Hyper Wellness currently has one location in the city (1229 Chestnut Street), but multiple locations in the surrounding areas of Pennsylvania, including Plymouth Meeting and Media, and right over the bridge in Marlton, New Jersey.
On the menu of experiences are services like IV therapy, red-light therapy, whole body cryotherapy, infrared sauna, and compression therapy. What sets Restore apart is their expert team of nurses and wellness professionals who create wellness plans tailored to your goals and lifestyle. Restore also offers services like IV drips, intramuscular shots and facials as well.
Locals can try the options à la carte or opt for packages like the Core Membership, which includes 31 credits for core services a month. The Elevate Membership (which they say holds the best value) offers 14 core therapies or three IV drips to pair with the core services, and the Level Up Membership (which is the most popular) includes eight core therapies or two IV drips to pair with the core options. Prices range, but run at $300 a month for Core, $260 for Elevate and $170 for Level Up.
Glowbar
Founder Rachel Liverman—a third-generation esthetician—created Glowbar to customize skincare and offer unique expert facials for every client at a tangible and affordable rate. Price-wise, members who decide to sign up can partake in one facial per month, 15% off skincare (20% off at your first facial), one free guest pass per membership year, and an exclusive member pouch with clinical-grade skincare samples. The price comes out to be $65 a month. Any non-members can try out a facial at Glowbar for $80 a la carte as well.
The facials themselves are all meant to last about 30 minutes while focusing on different premium procedures like dermaplaning, cavitation, LED light therapy, high-frequency treatments, and NuFACE (most of which are included with each visit, depending on what your skin needs). For now, locals can head to locations in Rittenhouse (42 S. 17th St.) and Bryn Mawr (925 W. Lancaster Ave., Suite 115) to indulge in everything this brand has to offer.
Wellness Walks at Morris Arboretum
Taking place Saturdays and Sundays from now until March 2026, Philadelphians can head to the scenic Morris Arboretum to participate in weekly Wellness Walks (10:30 to 11:30 a.m.) Led by an experienced volunteer guide, these brisk walks will stick to the paved paths and are free with admission.
While there, Philadelphians can also explore Morris’ fernery, tree canopy walk, fairy gardens, historic structures and perhaps catch the venue’s swans, Flora and Fauna, while at the swan pond (plus keep an eye out for some koi.)
