Vast historic swimming pool with Venetian-inspired architecture, including arched bridges.
The Venetian Pool is fed daily by millions of gallons of fresh spring water from an underground aquifer. As it is not heated, the water temperature is naturally cool and refreshing, typically ranging from approximately 72-78°F (22-26°C), depending on the season and ambient conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Venetian Pool is highly praised as a beautiful, refreshing, and affordable spot for a day out, featuring large, clear turquoise pools, a waterfall, and deep swimming areas (up to 8ft). Visitors frequently mention the attentive lifeguards and friendly staff. It's considered an excellent place for cooling off, swimming, and taking photos. However, it can get extremely crowded, especially on weekends and after 11:00 AM, leading to difficult parking and quickly filled seating areas. Many recommend arriving early or visiting on weekdays to avoid crowds and secure parking. The concession stand was under construction during these reviews, though vending machines were available. Despite minor inconveniences like crowding and parking, most reviewers express a strong desire to return, often suggesting a weekday visit.

Super pretty spot to spend the day and cool off. The pool is refreshing and the amenities are nice. Lounge on the sand area or rent a lounger. Plenty of space to swim and cool off the pools are huge. Really pretty waterfall feature. The staff is very nice and accommodating! Really great to visit during the week as there were very little people there. Paid $17 as I am a non resident, which is still very affordable. Concession stand was under construction but there were vending machines with drinks and snacks available. Would visit again!
I absolutely loved this place. I purchased my tickets the night before because I heard this place gets packed. I'm very happy I did because when I got there at noon on a Saturday it had already reached capacity. Parking is a little tricky because of how packed it gets. I had to circle around a few times before I found a spot. Once inside I was taken away by how beautiful and clear the water was. Word of advice: wear the life jacket if you're not a strong swimmer. The pool is super deep in some areas. However there are more than enough lifeguards standing by at all times. The seating areas get taken quickly so try to arrive early. Also the concession area is currently being remodeled so take your own snacks and drinks. This place is totally worth the $17 entrance fee. Lots of greats spots for pictures too. Will be returning soon. But probably on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
This place is absolutely gorgeous. I was working in coral gables for over a year and never stepped in. Last week I had the chance to go for the first time and they just open the place for the season. You can enjoy en relax, also I have to mention they have a good group of lifeguards that keep monitoring the area and the people in the pool. If you love to swim, you will love the 8ft deep side of the pool. Definitely looking to come back.
The Venetian pool is a pretty great experience! The water is a great cool temperature to take a break from the heat of summer! With its beautiful turquoise waters, it is a wonderful spot for family or a nice date doing something out of the usual. I will have to knock it for the parking. Although if you arrive early Enough it shouldn’t be an issue. If you arrive after 11:00 you’ll be circling a few times waiting on a spot.
Was impressed with this place, nice tucked into neighborhood location and felt the pool was bigger and better than I expected. Will return to again to explore the cave area as that had just been shut down for the day, as I was swimming to it. 8ft depth nice to swim long laps in, I wondered why it would be closed for season and now I realize it’s likely the leaves that would be falling into water and too much to maintain.
