Summer Family Pass

Scottsdale's Summer Family Pass allows families of all sizes unlimited public swim and fitness center visits from Memorial Day through Labor Day.   A family of four that visits a city pool an average of two times a week receives a substantial savings over the drop-in price when they purchase a Family Pass for the season.  The savings increase the more frequently you attend.  A Family Pass at Eldorado, Cactus and Chaparral Aquatic Centers for a family of 6 is $120 and $20 for each additional family member; this pass is valid at all three aquatic centers.  Due to the significantly greater number of amenities at McDowell Mountain Ranch Aquatic Center (MMR), a Family Pass for this facility is $400 for a family of 6 and $80 for each additional family member.  The MMR Family Pass is good at all four Aquatic Centers.  Family Passes can be purchased by Scottsdale residents and include unlimited public swim, lap swim and fitness center visits.  For Fitness Center information click here.
