When you look up the business on Google and yelp it does not say there's an age requirement. You have to physically go on the website to see that information. Waste of time.

The coolest pool in town...literally! Venetian Pool is filled with water from the Biscayne aquifer…read more Its infamously cool waters can feel a little frigid to us locals, but it's a great place to beat the heat of summer in Miami. This beautiful public pool recently re-opened after extensive renovations. They have a small pool designated for children, and the main pool which is divided into shallow water and deep water. Also be sure to explore the grotto and the waterfalls. They will stop admitting guests once they reach capacity, so try to arrive early. There are plenty of lifeguards around to keep everyone safe. The facility is well-outfitted with ample parking, a casual café, and M/F locker rooms with showers.

Yesterday on April 13, 2024, around 1 PM there was a woman that answered the phone. All I did was…read morecall and ask if the facilities were open and she had no clue. I told her I didn't want to make the trip before knowing if it was possible to enter the pool, then she said, let me check for you one moment, came back on the phone and said yes we're open. It's three dollars for entry. We drove 20 minutes to get to the aquatic center only to see that it was a ghost town. Not even open. So this person wasted this time of my day on Saturday. I wish I got the woman's name but I don't think that she should be answering phone calls anymore.

This is a great pool to come out and spend time with the family or bring your little ones out to learn how to swim. This pool has a zero depth entry making it easy to get in and out and safe for little ones to play with ease. There are also 4 lap lanes if you wanted to come, workout and get some laps in. Open Spring Break - End of September this is a wonderful place to check out. We also host an annual Dunkin 4 Pumpkins event (Depicted in the pictures attached) where families can come out and dip into the pool to grab a pumpkin and enjoy our local vendors.

Is it reasonable to officially display a price of $10 per adult and $5 per child, but upon arrival…read morebe charged $20 per adult and $10 per child with no explanation, when the prices are published on an official government website? It can feel misleading or confusing for visitors. Public pool? Technically, it is a public facility, but in practice it does not always feel that way. For residents, the fee is $10 per adult and $5 per child, while for non-residents it is $20 per adult and $10 per child. This is already on the higher end of what is traditionally expected from a municipal pool. In addition, the city website is not always updated with the most current pricing. Olympic pool? Yes, in terms of structure and size, but it does not include a diving area, so it is limited in that sense. Heated water? That statement can be misleading depending on the season, as the water is not consistently heated year-round. We are in April, and the water feels extremely cold, almost like "ice water." I have been coming here for several years, and this is the first time we have felt that some younger staff members are interacting with children in a more strict or tense manner; this was not the case before. There are also private hotel pools and small water parks that charge around $15-$20, and many times they feel more relaxed and accessible. This raises a valid question about value and accessibility in comparison. It also gives the impression that there is a gradual shift toward prioritizing residents (despite significant price increases for them as well) or increasing overall costs, which raises concerns about long-term accessibility for non-residents. At the same time, these facilities are publicly funded through taxpayer money, including contributions from Miami-Dade County, and entry fees are intended to help cover operational and maintenance costs. Overall, this is a matter of balance: public infrastructure is supported by taxpayers, but users also expect fair pricing, transparency, and a clear value in return. I hope these facilities do not evolve into spaces that feel similar to private venues, as that could create an unfair competitive disadvantage for private businesses in the same category.

Fun place! They have several different pool areas that are partitioned off, such as swim lanes for…read morelaps, an area for the slide and a shallower section for children. If you are a resident, the cost is just $5, but know that it is CASH ONLY unless you spend more than $10. They also have a lot of cheap community swim classes, including aqua aerobics, and times for just swim lane/swim laps. There are plenty of lawn chairs, even on the weekend, and the staff are helpful. Pool feels clean, the area is similarly clean. I did NOT go into the bathroom so cannot comment on those facilities. Plenty of free parking on the premise, and during the busier season (summer, I believe?) it looked like there were concessions and the slide would be open. All in all, I have spent several pleasant afternoons here when I did not have to work or got out early.

I think this is a nice park. I went there today for a birthday party through a church…read more The park has two water areas; the main pool and a kiddie playground. The main pool goes up to eleven feet. The kiddie playground area was 1 foot. The kiddie playground area was simple but my son had a blast for the 10 minutes he was able to enjoy it. He kept asking to go back. For whatever reason they closed that side. I honestly think the lifeguard just didn't want to be bothered. He told us he was leaving to go home but 30 minutes later I saw him over by the main pool. Luckily the main pool started at 3 feet and my son was able to enjoy the water although I'd much preferred him on the kiddie side. My son loves water so I always have a mini heart attack whenever he ventures outside of the kiddie section. This pool does offer swimming lessons. It is an 8 week session and it's $40 for north miami residents and $60 for non residents. The swim instructor was present which was a huge plus because I want to sign my son up. He was super nice and very informative. The other staff members were ok. You could tell that they'd love to be anywhere else but there. However that's to be expected. They're teenage boys. I remember wanting to be anywhere but work when I was teenager. And if I'm being totally honest, I still feel that way as an adult! This pool is a little on the small side but I think that's a good thing. However if it gets packed that may not be a good thing.
