The Sanctuary (Tabu Swingers Sanctuary)

Club Tabu, operating its social nights under the name "The Sanctuary," is an adults-only alternative lifestyle lounge located within Fantasies Unlimited, an adult retail store at 3208 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Lansing, Michigan. Despite carrying "swingers" in its social-media name, the venue's own site describes it as rooted in the LGBTQ+ community and states plainly that "the club is not structured as a traditional swingers venue," with its primary audience being gay, bi, trans, and gender-diverse guests, though it says it welcomes respectful guests of other identities. The space centers on a large, deliberately dark and winding maze of pathways and walls, along with private booths, a changing area with lockers, and common social areas. The atmosphere is described as sex-positive and kink-aware, with an emphasis on privacy, discretion, and guest-controlled pacing of interaction; a 2022 news investigation into the venue also referenced a glory-hole setup and a television area used for adult video viewing. Entry requires being 18+ with valid ID, and membership dues are collected per event night rather than as an ongoing membership. Patrons enter through the Fantasies Unlimited retail storefront and must tell the store clerk they are attending Club Tabu/The Sanctuary. House rules prohibit cameras and phone/recording devices inside the event space, restrict sexual activity to designated private areas, and ban loitering in parking lots or common areas; illegal drugs and disrespectful, non-consensual, or aggressive behavior result in immediate removal.
