Soak City Water Park Near Cedar Point Amusement Park

About Soak City

Soak City is an 18 acre water wonderland nestled near the back of the Cedar Point peninsula, between the Hotel Breakers resort and the Camper Village campground and directly under the Magnum XL 200 roller coaster. When it first opened in 1988, the park occupied a mere five acres, but regular expansions have added more slides, water activity areas, and other splashy attractions to this world-class water park. It is no surprise then, that Soak City has become known as “The Cedar Point of Water Parks” – a nickname that is quite an honor, given the immense popularity and appeal of Cedar Point.
