Family Outing @ Barefoot Bay Family Aquatic Center (Mundelein)

Escape the Heat with the kids and other Windy City Dads at Barefoot Bay Family Aquatic Center!

Looking for a fantastic way to cool off this summer and make some waves with the kids? Then mark your calendars June 5th, 2025 at Barefoot Bay Family Aquatic Center in Mundelein!

This isn't just your average pool – Barefoot Bay is a tropically-themed oasis packed with fun for all ages. Imagine a place where the little ones can splash and play safely, while the older kids (and maybe even us dads!) can enjoy some thrilling water action.
Here's a glimpse of what Barefoot Bay has to offer:

• Zero-Depth Entry Pool: Perfect for toddlers and young children to wade in comfortably and build their confidence in the water.
• Interactive Play Structures: Expect engaging water features like sprinklers, geysers, and maybe even a small slide designed for the younger crowd. Get ready for some serious splashing!
• Larger Water Slides: For the more adventurous dads and kids, Barefoot Bay boasts exciting water slides that will get the adrenaline pumping. Who's ready for a race?
• Lazy River: Need to unwind and take it easy? Hop on a tube and drift along the relaxing lazy river. It's a great way to supervise the kids while catching a breather.
• Sand Play Area: When the kids need a break from the water, there's a dedicated sand play area where they can build castles and dig to their hearts' content.
• Plenty of Deck Space: Room to spread out, set up your towels, and keep an eye on your crew.
• Concessions: Refuel with snacks and drinks available on-site, so you don't have to pack everything but the kitchen sink.
• Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Barefoot Bay is designed with families in mind, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for our Windy City Dads group.

Why is this a great meetup spot?

• Fun for all ages: Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, there's something to keep everyone entertained.
• Chance to connect: It's a fantastic opportunity to meet other dads in the Windy City Dads group, share stories, and let the kids make new friends.
• Beat the summer heat: What better way to spend a hot summer day than cooling off in the water?
• Relatively local: Located in Mundelein, it's a convenient option for many of us in the Chicagoland area.

The entry fee is $20 per person. $15 for residents. If we get enough people to register, I may be able to get us a group rate.
Join us when you're available & RSVP with your cell # so we can make sure to send you updates of our location by the pool.

RSVP (+family) if you can come!
