Twisting, vibrant water slides spiral around the signature Soak City tower at Knott’s Berry Farm, showcasing the park’s tropical flair and recent 2017 expansion, all framed by lush palm trees for that ultimate Southern California splash experience.

For the past eighteen years, Knott’s Soak City has delighted Southern California families with summertime fun just across the street from Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park. This year Soak City has undergone its first major expansion, adding a full two acres to the park’s footprint and installing seven cutting-edge slides on two new ride towers.

Shore Break will launch individual riders out of one of four Aqua Launch chambers, or down two dueling tube slides around twisting turns over daring drops. The Wedge is an open-raft family ride that can accommodate up to six riders at a time.

In addition to the new attractions, Soak City has also refurbished its existing rides and remodeled its popular Longboard’s Grill restaurant. More seating areas, spacious cabanas, and room for outdoor dining have also been added.

Knott’s Soak City opens for the 2017 summer season this Saturday, May 20th. Be sure to visit the park’s official website for more information and ticketing resources.
