The dome is built on a poured concrete foundation that contains no magnetic metal.
George Van Tassel claimed the design for the building was provided by inhabitants of Venus.
The structure is designed to function as an electrostatic generator for longevity and time travel.
The interior is 38 feet high and 55 feet in diameter.
It is located in the middle of a high-desert region known for its unusual magnetism and spiritual lore.
The structure underwent significant restoration after changing ownership in the early 2000s.
Despite being a historical site, it is not a traditional museum but an active acoustic laboratory.
The wood construction was held together with glue and interlocking joints rather than fasteners.
The Integratron is a wooden, dome-shaped structure in the Mojave Desert, constructed by ufologist George Van Tassel between 1954 and 1977. It is built entirely of wood, concrete, and fiberglass without the use of metal nails or screws. The building was originally designed as a 'machine' for rejuvenation and time travel based on purported instructions from extraterrestrials. Today, the facility functions as a sound healing center where visitors participate in 'sonic baths' using quartz crystal singing bowls. The architecture utilizes a proprietary geometric design that allegedly optimizes acoustic resonance. The structure remains open to the public for tours and private sound bath sessions. It is situated on a geomagnetic vortex in the high desert region of Landers, California.

Book your sound bath sessions weeks or months in advance, as they frequently sell out.
Bring layers of clothing because the desert temperature inside the dome fluctuates significantly throughout the day.
Plan to arrive early to explore the surrounding high desert scenery before your session.
Do not attempt to walk in without a reservation, as the site is private property and strictly accessible only by appointment.
Operates year-round but requires advance online booking for all sessions; private event closures occur occasionally.
Maintain silence during the sonic bath sessions; shoes must be removed before entering the dome.
