It might be nearly autumn, but the Southern California heat sticks around! Cool off at Knott’s Soak City Water Park where you can rent a semi-private cabin complete with food and drink service, rent any gear you need, and make your adrenaline spike with some of the zaniest water park rides in the world! It’s ideal for families and “big kids” of all ages who are looking for a fresh new adventure.
There are rides and experiences for all ages and degrees of adrenaline junkies. Banzai Falls features six multi-lane slides where you fall over 41-feet headfirst into the turquoise waters below. Try out the Laguna Storm Water Tower, a tube slide monstrosity that’s 43-feet high. At Gremmie Lagoon, the littlest swimmers get a water playground with an interactive octopus and impressive submarine.
Wild Rides
Malibu Run offers four inner tube slides with open flumes, dark flumes, and a drop-off height peaking at 36-feet. Old Man Falls is the biggest of all, 63-feet tall, and it’s where you can really let ‘er rip-feet first or head first! However, Pacific Spin is a real contender—though it’s not a slide! A multi-person thrill ride spins you along a six-story funnel with swirling water.
These rides can really rev up your appetite, and there are many choices on deck. Try Longboard’s Grill for classic American fare from burgers to dogs, or go to Portside Pizza for wedge slices and refreshing salads. At Surf Daddy’s Food Hut, you have icees, pretzels, churros and more treats. Ready to dive in?
