10 Best Day Passes for Pools in Houston

Immerse yourself in summer fun with a day pass to pools, patios and outdoor spaces at hotels and resorts around Houston.

It’s practically summer in Houston, which makes finding the best places in town to cool off and enjoy a dip in the pool a top priority. But fear not, because Houston is home to dozens of pools and places to relax in its many hotels and resorts around the city.

Plus, you don’t need to stay overnight at the hotel to enjoy the amenities when you book a day pass through the hotel and other partner sites, like ResortPass. We’ve picked out some of the best spots in town where you can take a ride on the lazy river, sip tropical drinks, and top up your tan for summer 2024.

In addition to finding pool passes in the heart of and around Houston and The Woodlands, you’ll also find day pool passes when traveling outside of Houston, such as in and around Austin and the Hill Country, Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, San Antonio, South Padre Island, New Orleans, as well as throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada and beyond.

Please note that prices and availability of day passes are subject to change based on booking date, demand and the property’s discretion. If you make a purchase using the links on this page, 365 Houston may receive a small share of the sale at no extra cost to you.
