Beat the Heat with the NOLA Pool Passport
New Orleans may be known for its heat, but the NOLA Pool Passport is giving locals and visitors six different ways to cool off. The 2026 NOLA Pool Passport offers admission to six pools across the city for $59, bringing the cost to less than $10 per location.
Offered through NOLA Discount Deals and WGNO/NOLA38, the limited-time passport includes one general admission visit to each participating pool. Passholders have plenty of time to make their way around the city as visits can be redeemed through August 31, 2027.
From a rooftop bar overlooking Downtown to a lazy river in Tremé, the NOLA Pool Passport includes a variety of options for escaping the Louisiana heat.
Six Pools Across New Orleans
Lost Coyote, located on Esplanade Avenue, pairs its pool with cocktails, small plates, and a lively atmosphere. Nearby in Tremé, the Blue Crawfish offers an outdoor pool lounge complete with a lazy river and a waterfall.
At the historic Dew Drop Inn, visitors can spend their pool day at the Haven Pool Club, a retro-inspired pool and patio featuring cocktails, food, and music.
The Country Club in the Bywater offers another option for a day by the water. Its private pool area is surrounded by lush landscaping with food and drinks available for guests.
NOLA Pool Passport holders can also head to the French Quarter for the Royal Sonesta New Orleans' outdoor heated pool and Oasis Pool Bar. Located along Bourbon Street, the pool offers a place to cool down without leaving the center of the French Quarter.
For those looking for a view with their swim, the Pool Club at the Virgin Hotels New Orleans brings the experience downtown. The hotel's rooftop pool offers views of the New Orleans skyline along with space for poolside lounging.
