About
Public pool with diving boards suitable for children.
The pools at Centennial Family Aquatic Center are generally heated to a comfortable temperature, ensuring a pleasant swimming experience for all visitors. However, a specific fixed pool temperature is not consistently published as it can vary based on operational settings and external weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is generally regarded as a great family and neighborhood destination, offering extensive facilities including four waterslides, two diving boards, a kiddie pool, a beach pool, and an Olympic-sized pool with dedicated adult lap lanes. It's considered expensive for non-residents, with a pass recommended for frequent visits, but many find the experience 'worth it' for the fun and amenities. The concession stand receives mixed feedback; some praise its 'great options' including healthy choices like salads, while others find the food and prices 'Meh,' though the fries are a highlight. While some perceive the pool as generally not super crowded, there's a recurring complaint about lap lanes being consistently crowded with no scheduling system. A notable negative point raised is 'VERY RUDE STAFF' who communicate with attitude.

Love this pool! It’s a special trip here when my kiddo and I are with family nearby. Not cheap to visit as a non Wilmette resident, but worth it! You can’t bring in outside food, but the concession stand has great options, including real food like salads (and yes, organic chicken?!) alongside pool faves like pizza and hot dogs. The water slides are ever so fun, and it’s also nice that you can bring toys and clear floating toys. We have a great time every time!

Great neighborhood/family pool. Easy bike ride to it for Wilmette and North Evanston neighborhoods. Bike racks. All ages can swim. Always swim lanes set aside for adults to do casual lap swim. Four waterslides, two diving boards, kiddie pool, beach pool, full size Olympic pool, snack bar with actually good food.

Do NOT go here if you want a good lap lane experience. It is always crowded with no lanes available. There should be some sort of system that allows for people to schedule a lane. Terrible experience

We love coming here over the summer. The four pools are great for all ages and is never super crowded. One of the reasons it is not too crowded is it is quite expensive for non-residents and if you go enough a pass is a must. The food is Meh and the prices are equally Meh. They do have some delicious fries.
