    This was a fun historic experience. Not cheap if you have more than two adults but the experience and the amazingly cold water was refreshing. The bottom of the pool is slippery. When I went they had the higher jump points closed for jumping. Besides that you can actually bring in outside food and drinks just no coolers.

    The Venetian Pool is one of the most beautiful and unique places to visit in South Florida. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is no ordinary swimming pool. The crystal-clear water, waterfalls, caves, and historic Mediterranean-style architecture create an unforgettable experience. The facility is very clean, well maintained, and the staff is friendly and organized. There is plenty of space to relax, swim, and enjoy the surroundings. The natural spring-fed water makes the pool feel refreshing, especially on a hot Miami day. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, the Venetian Pool is absolutely worth the trip. It's a perfect combination of history, beauty, and relaxation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Miami area—definitely a five-star experience!

    I’ve lived in Miami for almost 3 years now and this was my first time going to the Venetian pool, and I must say this was an incredible experience and place! Not only is it very aesthetically pleasing but the water is freshly pumped everyday with spring water. The pool has a couple of waterfalls, a kiddie pool, a snack bar and a little sandy beach area for lounging. Overall this was a great place for locals and visitors alike! There is plenty of parking across the street so you don’t have worry about parking! Some downsides: no coolers are allowed, it costs 21 dollars to enter per adult.

    We arrived with 3 kids on a cloudy day, not sure what to expect, it turned out to be great. ticket 18 for adults and 12 for children. water was chilly, not too cold. there is a small waterfall that you can swim behind and a small cave that they open entrance from time to time. All together, we were about 2 hours inside. There is also free parking and a dressing room.

    The water itself is worth the trip. The spring water was beautiful and a great temperature. The pool area is amazing. However the website didn't declare that the caves and waterfalls are still under construction. Caves were inaccessible and waterfalls turned off. I only give 3 stars because they should have said that on the website.
