Join the Hanover Park Park District in kicking off summer 2017 at Seafari Springs Aquatic Center Sunday, June 4, 1700 Greenbrook Blvd., in Hanover Park.

The open house offers free admission from noon-2 p.m., with staff available to answer questions you may have about the aquatic center, birthday parties, swim lessons and rentals.

Explore Seafari Springs and check out the new items at The Oasis concessions stand, including pulled pork sliders, tropical chips and salsa and chocolate covered bananas.

Just like at the beach, when you wade into Seafari Springs' zero-depth pool, the water will just cover your toes. Keep going and the water's surface stretches farther and farther above those toes, up to 12 feet at its deepest.

Surrounding this pool are water-driven attractions designed for different ages. Little ones cluster around the Aqua Bloom, a blossom that sprays erratic streams of water from its center. At Turtle Falls, a 13-foot waterfall douses visitors, while a wide swathe of grass nearby invites guests to relax. Older kids zip down speed slides, tube slides and a 130-foot long water slide.
