What Happens There: Ideally, guests can retreat to these secret rooms to get some much-needed sleep. More than likely, however, visitors will spend their time staring into the void, thinking about how much money they spent over their three-day weekend. If someone's exhausted enough and has the time, they can grab a nap before boarding their plane. 

How You Get There: Find the ZEROlevel Fitness & Wellness section. Once there, sleep rooms can be rented for $5 an hour, with discounted rates for longer blocks of time. Aside from a chance at much-needed relaxation, a room rental also grants users access to a gym and showers.

What Happens There: Many travelers undoubtedly use this spot to contemplate whether or not they should just drop everything and stay in Hawaii. Others have simply used the space to clear their heads before a long flight. The area has Chinese, Japanese, and Hawaiian gardens along with numerous ponds filled with fish. The garden also features miniature waterfalls and greenery as far as the eye can see. 

How You Get There: Find the gardens surrounding the Terminal 2 ticketing lobby and the E gates of the airport.

What Happens There: Like many hidden airport spaces, this yoga studio is meant to help passengers and employees alleviate the stress of air travel. The space is open daily, and anyone can stop by to stretch out or work their core while they wait for their flight.

How You Get There: Go to the mezzanine level of Terminal 3 to find this 15-by-16-foot bamboo-floored space. Frosted glass provides guests with privacy while they center themselves. The space is painted in soothing tones to calm travelers' nerves after bouts of turbulence.

What Happens There: If you want to relax and contemplate your travels while passing through Vermont, head to the roof of Burlington Airport's parking garage for a special surprise. The roof features walkways winding through lush areas of flowers situated near a solar panel array.

How You Get There: The rooftop garden is truly an airport secret. There are no signs telling passengers how to get there, so some investigation is required. Once you're in the parking garage, keep walking towards the top until you come to a "heavy, unmarked door." Push through to find a garden you'll likely have all to yourself.

What Happens There: Whether you're religious, spiritual, or just want to take a break from the rest of the world, Schiphol Airport's Meditation Centre boasts three rooms offering very different experiences. The Quiet Room is a space for prayer or meditation, the Reading Room is designed for reading spiritual literature, and the Meeting Room is a place where travelers can gather. 

How You Get There: Head up to the second floor and look for a sign featuring a kneeling figure. Inside the center, you can take time for yourself or speak to one of the full-time religious leaders on staff.
