Pro tips to help you make a pick

Choose a Dated Daily Ticket when your date is firm; it is the lowest public fixed-date one-day admission, from $50.

Choose the Good Any Day Ticket only when you need schedule flexibility, since it is valid on any operating day in the 2026 season but does not change in-park queue conditions.

Add a cabana when your group wants a reserved shaded base: admission is separate, each cabana covers up to 8 guests, and it includes 4 inner tube rentals.

Do not treat a cabana as ride-priority access; it provides comfort features, not faster water-slide entry.

Choose a dining plan only when prepaid meal budgeting helps your day, since dining add-ons are separate from admission and work at participating Soak City outlets.

Buy separate Soak City admission rather than assuming Knott's Berry Farm entry covers it; Soak City has its own gate and admission products.

About Knott's Soak City

Knott's Soak City balances high-thrill slide towers with recovery attractions and younger-child zones. Shore Break groups six slide experiences in one area, Old Man Falls adds a 63-foot body-slide tower, Tidal Wave Bay gives the park a large central wave pool, and Sunset River provides a 1,780-foot float. Beach House and Gremmie Lagoon broaden the day beyond thrill slides.

Did you know?

Knott's Soak City is separately gated from Knott's Berry Farm, even though both sit on the same resort campus.

Inner tubes are free at attractions that require them, but those tubes must stay at the attraction after the ride.

Sunset River has alternate access via a wheelchair lift at the outside river entrance, and a water wheelchair is available on request first-come, first-served.

Why visit Knott's Soak City?

A 23-slide lineup supports a real water-park day

The park's official slide count is 23, covering speed, tube, and body slides. That breadth gives Knott's Soak City enough range for a half-day or full-day visit rather than a quick stop between other activities.

Shore Break, The Wedge, and Old Man Falls form a defined thrill core

Shore Break brings six slide experiences into one zone, The Wedge adds the family raft ride, and Old Man Falls rises 63 feet with three body slides: Pipeline, Point Break, and Riptide. Together they anchor the park's higher-intensity side.

Tidal Wave Bay gives the park a major shared attraction

Tidal Wave Bay holds 750,000 gallons and works well for mixed-age groups that want a common activity between slide runs. It also remains a strong fallback when major slide waits stop feeling worthwhile.

Sunset River adds a long, lower-intensity float

Sunset River stretches 1,780 feet, roughly one-third of a mile. It gives the park a true passive-water attraction alongside the slide towers, so the day can shift between high-intensity rides and slower recovery time.

Beach House and Gremmie Lagoon give younger children dedicated space

Beach House is a three-story interactive play structure with 200 water features, while Gremmie Lagoon is designed for kids and families. These zones make the park more useful for groups with children who are not tall enough for the biggest thrill slides.

Separate Soak City gate

This is the dedicated entrance for Knott's Soak City Waterpark on the Knott's resort campus. The water park is not inside Knott's Berry Farm, and Soak City tickets are validated at the entry turnstile area.
