In 2013, Barrington Pools was honored to construct the Stingray Touch pool at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, a 1,500-square-foot, 18,000-gallon exhibit housing 40 cownose and yellow rays, opened to the public in summer 2013. Leveraging our experience from building a similar tank at Brookfield Zoo in 2007, our employee-based team meticulously designed and built this outdoor pool under a large tent north of the aquarium, ensuring structural integrity and optimal water circulation for animal welfare. The project showcased our expertise in specialty aquarium pools, and it is an amazing honor to create an engaging exhibit for families worldwide.
For Chicago’s urban homes with small yards or tight spaces, Barrington Pools offers expertly designed plunge pools and spas as the perfect solution. These compact, versatile features—typically 6 to 10 feet in length—provide the luxury of a pool or soothing spa experience without requiring a large footprint, ideal for homes in Chicago where yard space is at a premium. Our plunge pools, built with the same durable materials and PebbleTec finishes as our larger designs, offer refreshing dips and hydrotherapy, enhancing relaxation and property value. A client in Lincoln Park praised our space-saving spa for its “seamless fit and low-maintenance elegance,” proving that even the smallest spaces can become stunning retreats with Barrington Pools’ innovative pool installation in Chicago.
