Knott’s Soak City is the largest and coolest water adventure park in the desert, featuring 16 waterlogged acres packed with 18 of the most intense water rides imaginable.

You can begin your day on Pacific Spin. This exciting multi-person raft ride includes a 132-foot long tunnel that drops riders 75 feet into a six-story funnel.

After pitching riders back and forth through 5,500 gallons of swirling water, the ride culminates in a waterfall splash.

More high-speed thrills await at Tidal Wave Tower. The ultimate in gravity-defying thrills, Tidal Wave Tower defies

you to take on the action of a 7-story speed slide. For those not ready to take a chance on the big spin or our tower of terror, there’s Gremmie Lagoon. Made exclusively for tomorrow’s surfers, Gremmie Lagoon offers wannabe wave riders their own pintsized water slides and splash pool.
