The Best Pools in Chicago Have Rooftop Views and Waterslides

But no matter how surprisingly hot it can get here, Chicagoans are never far from refreshing reprieve. Sure, there are literally miles of beaches, and Indiana Dunes National Park is a hop and a skip away. But for those who would rather not get sand on their feet, or an errant volleyball in the face at North Avenue Beach, there are plenty of pool options to dive into. Some are ritzy rooftop hangs where you may or may not bump elbows with discreet celebrities, while others offer lazy rivers and water slides (and a slimmer chance at celebrity sightings). If you’re looking to cool off this summer, here are 10 Chicago pools to check out.
