Every summer, my family gets excited to dive back into the pool and enjoy a day in the sun. We love our local pool, but we also love to explore and meet friends at different pools just for the day. Luckily, there are tons of outdoor pools near us in the Chicago suburbs that offer daily admission passes! These pools give us the chance to swim, snack, and have a blast.
Below, you’ll find options of pools and water parks where you can purchase a daily admission pass or a punch card to use multiple times per summer. Let’s dive right in!
As always, check with the venue directly for the most current information. Pools are in order by facility name.
