Cool Off at Knott's Soak City Water Park

Looking for a way to beat the summer heat? There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy here in Anaheim, from a hike to explore the Santa Ana River trail to all of our world-famous amusement parks.

This 15-acre water park right next to Knott's Berry Farm is the perfect spot for a day of splashing and soaking that is fun for all ages.

All About Knott's Soak City Water Park

Soak City is a separate water park located at Knott's Berry farm. It has 23 waterslides, one of the world's longest lazy rivers, and a 750,000-gallon wave pool. It's open seasonally, and dates vary, so be sure to double-check their calendar for hours of operation.

Attractions

Soak City has multiple water rides for every guest, big or small. From lazy rivers and splash pads to heart-pumping vertical-drop slides, it's no wonder that Soak City is a popular spot on hot summer days.

Here's a quick look at the best attractions at the park. For a more relaxed experience, consider renting a semi-private cabana with your lounge chairs, inner tube rentals, and a shaded patio table.

1. Old Man Falls–You can't have a water park without a big drop. Old Man Falls is a classic tube slide with plenty of dips, weaves, bends, and turns. And, of course, a gravity-powered 63-foot drop!
2. Beach House–The Beach House is a three-story watery fun house with waterfalls, slides, water guns, faucets, and plenty of wet surprises. The giant bucket pours 500 gallons over the whole place every five minutes.
3. Gremmie Lagoon–Gremmie Lagoon is for the little ones under 54 inches tall. It features some scaled-down versions of the other attractions just for them.
4. Sunset River–Not everything at Soak City is about adrenaline and hair-raising drops. Sunset River is all about relaxation on a classic 1,780-foot-long lazy river. Lie back in your comfy inner tube and enjoy the ride!
5. The Wedge–Gather your family and hop on board a six-person raft for an open-air adventure.
