If you’re planning a vacation to Boston, you might be wondering whether or not to bring your swimming suit. The good news is that you don’t need to! Depending on the time of year, Foxwoods might be open for business, or it might be closed for the season. If you show up during a period of the year when the facility is closed, you’ll probably have to wait until the next available time slot to go in.
Since 1966, Foxwoods has been welcoming visitors with open arms. The sprawling casino resort in Connecticut offers an immersive gaming experience, first-class restaurants, and lots of exciting events throughout the year. It really is something special!
But what about the pool? Is it open?
To find out, you’ll need to look into the various times that Foxwoods’ pool is open. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to this question. It’s not like asking, “Is Hogwarts school open?” The truth is that the pool’s schedule is constantly in flux, and it changes with the seasons. Still, there are certain times when you can swim at Foxwoods, so let’s take a look.

Spring
During the spring, Foxwoods opens its doors to the general public for the first time in years. However, this doesn’t mean that the pool is open all the time. In fact, opening day might be over, and the pool could still be closed for the season.
There are certain dates in April and May when the pool is open for everybody, but it’s best to call ahead to make sure. On those days when the pool is open, you can swim at any time, day or night. However, it is advised that you enter the pool through the front gate, as the back gate is often locked to keep out intruders. And please, leave your sunglasses and jewelry at the door. The hotel’s pool is open to the public, and it isn’t easy to spot someone’s $500 watch or gold chain while you’re trying to have a good time swimming.
Summer
During the summer, the pool is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday through Sunday.
On those days when the pool is open, you can swim at any time, day or night. However, the best time to visit is during the week, when there will be more people around. Mondays and Tuesdays are the best days to visit, as there will be more people around and the pool will be packed. Weekends are good, too, as long as you don’t plan to go into the gaming floors on Saturday or Sunday. Those are the least entertaining days, at least, according to the Sunday morning comics.
Fall
Since the summer is over, it’s time for Foxwoods to close its doors. However, this doesn’t mean that the pool is closed for good. In fact, during the fall, the pool will be open only 10 hours a day, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., so make sure to check the hours before you visit.
The pool doesn’t get very crowded during the fall, so it’s pretty easy to make a booking. Weekends are popular times to visit, as long as you avoid the middle of the week. There might be some light crowds on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well, but still, the best time to visit is during the week, when there will be more people around.
Winter
During the winter, Foxwoods keeps its pool closed. However, if you know that the days are getting shorter and the air is getting colder, you might want to consider going for a swim. Still, it might be better to wait until the next spring to visit the pool. The good thing is that, even during the winter, there are occasional days when the pool is open. It is advised that you check the pool’s schedule online before you visit, so that you can find out if it’s worth the trip, even in winter. The hotel’s water temperature is often around 64 degrees Fahrenheit, so you won’t freeze even if it’s below zero outside. Plus, there might be some swimsuits available for rent, in case you forgot to bring your own.
What about the Price Of Admission?
There is no admission fee at Foxwoods. However, the price of admission varies by the time of day and day of the week that you visit. It’s best to check the website or call ahead before you visit, to find out the price of admission for the day. On weekdays, admission is usually between $20 and $25, and it’s $30 on weekends.
Is there anything else to know?
Yes, there is. Even if the pool is open during a particular season, it doesn’t mean that you can swim everywhere. There are certain areas where swimming is prohibited, so be sure to check the pool’s rules and regulations before you visit.
