The pool will be open for two hours from 2pm on Sunday, April 23, marking the end of the pool season in the city.
The initiative, one of several organised by councils across Victoria, costs $5 per adult, and $4.20 per child - but dogs can enter free.
"(It's) another way to utilise our fantastic facilities like Eureka Pool in a diverse way and perhaps show people a venue they might not have visited before," mayor Des Hudson said in a statement.
