Too Busy and Basic

Andy B

We visited Knott’s Soak City in the afternoon after spending the morning at Knott’s Berry Farm. Unfortunately, as it was a very hot day, the waterpark was extremely busy and the queues for the rides were very long. We also hadn’t brought pool shoes, which was a mistake on our part, but the concrete surfaces were extremely hot and uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. As a result, we mainly stuck to the wave pool and lazy river rather than attempting the rides. The changing facilities were also very basic, to say the least. There are no family changing rooms or private changing cubicles, so the only real option for changing privately is to use an actual toilet. Overall, we found Soak City disappointing compared with Knott’s Berry Farm. Perhaps it would be a better experience on a quieter, cooler day, but our visit was 2/5.

Too crowded!

Very crowded, very long waiting times even for entrance but also for the slided. No free layers! Very complicatef to get a ticket with Go City Pass Plus!

Nice park!

Amy A

We enjoyed the lazy river and the wave pool. The rides lines were not long and the life guards are very attentive. You will need to go guest services next to the turnstile and they will need to give you a paper pass. Then proceed to the turnstile. Don't forget sunscreen, goggles and the water pouch for your phone.

Fun Times

My children enjoyed themselves and was able to ride all the rides that they wanted because the wait times weren’t bad. I’d recommend this water park for safe family fun.. 🤩
