Expert Swim Instruction for All Levels in Chinatown

Chinatown is such a fun spot to call home. From the iconic Chinatown Gateway to the bustling atmosphere, it’s a place where generations of families have built a strong, close-knit community, offering a unique blend of ancient traditions and modern city life.

When it’s time for a family adventure, you know that Chinatown is packed with amazing sights and experiences. Spend the day exploring the beautiful Ping Tom Memorial Park, with its traditional Chinese landscape design right on the edge of the Chicago River. For a unique discovery, you can browse the colorful shops for everything from authentic kites to delicious sweets, or visit the stunning Pui Tak Center with its classic Chinese architecture. And, of course, no visit is complete without gathering the family around a big table for some incredible dim sum or authentic noodles at one of the neighborhood’s many legendary restaurants.

When the summer sun is beating down on the city and it’s time to cool off, we have some fantastic ways to make a splash. The best aquatic adventure right from Chinatown is hopping on the Chicago Water Taxi at Ping Tom Park for a scenic ride to the heart of downtown, where the fun of the Crown Fountain splash pad awaits at Millennium Park. For a more traditional pool day, the public pool at nearby McGuane Park offers a perfect spot to swim and play.
