About Pelican Harbor Aquatic Park
Pelican Harbor Aquatic Park, just outside Chicago in Bolingbrook, is one of the region’s top spots for family water fun. With indoor and outdoor areas, it’s ideal for year-round splashing, sliding, and relaxing with kids of all ages.
Outdoors, you’ll find giant water slides, a lazy river, zero-depth entry pool, and an interactive kids’ play area with sprayers, dumping buckets, and smaller slides. It’s colorful, safe, and perfectly suited for younger children and confident swimmers alike.
Indoors, families can enjoy a lap pool, whirlpool, and water play structures—perfect for cooler days or rainy weather. There are private cabanas to rent for breaks and snacks, plus a party room and concessions for birthdays and group events.
It’s fun, safe, clean, and offers enough variety to keep kids entertained for hours.
