Knotts Soak City

Soak City Water Park Features

Although there are a few variations between different park locations, all three Knotts Soak City water parks have these popular attractions that the entire family can experience together.

Cabana Rentals

Families can rent their own cabana with lounge chairs, tables, and private food service for prices ranging from $90-$155, depending on the size of the cabana and the day of the week. It is recommended that you reserve your cabana online before you go to the park. You can make a reservation through the Soak City website as long as it is at least 24 hours in advance.

Balboa Bay

Balboa Bay, otherwise known as the wave pool, is the largest attraction in the park. It requires 750,000 gallons of water to fill and is open to everyone. Children under 48" must wear a life preserver and be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Sunset River

For those people that just want to float aimlessly for part of the day, Sunset River offers a circular, artificial river to swim in that is nearly a half mile long. Once again, everyone is allowed in the water, as long as small children are wearing a life preserver and have an adult nearby.

Slides

Each Soak City location has a wide variety of water slides to choose from, including inner tube slides, body and speed slides, and family slides for multi-person rafts. The exact slides at each park vary and interested guests should investigate each park to decide which slides they’d prefer to enjoy.

Having Fun Without the Water at Soak City

If you get sick of the water, Soak City still has plenty of attractions to keep you occupied. Restaurants, including one that serves Mrs. Knott's famous fried chicken, are numerous. There is also a shop, WipeOut! Surf Shop, that sell souvenirs and clothing items, as well as a small candy store that offers a wide variety of treats.
