Knott's Soak City Water Park

Of course, there's plenty to do at Soak City if the idea of high-speed water rides gives you...ahem..."Knotts" in your stomach. The younger members of your party can practice their game faces on the Tykes Trough kid's slides in preparation for when they are tall enough to ride the grown-up slides. Kids can climb their hearts out at Dick's Beach House, a monstrous, over-water climbing frame featuring two junior body slides. The Coronado Express lets families cruise together on group rafts, and Gremmie Lagoon is a safe place for young surf-enthusiasts to splash around carelessly. Perhaps you really just want to let the kids do their thing and work on your tan, in which case you can grab a float and cruise down the lazy river, lay out on one of the many water-side pool chairs, or even rent a family cabana!

Knott's Soak City San Diego provides lockers, should you need to stash your valuables for the day. You'll most likely swim yourself hungry by mid-day, so the park offers a variety of refreshments and snack options including Casa Ortega Burritos and Surf Daddy's Pizza. If you forget your towel, WipeOut! Surf Shop sells seasonal clothing, merchandise and souvenirs that will remind you of your aquatic excursion in San Diego for years to come.

Don't let the heat keep you indoors in the A/C. Knott's Soak City San Diego is one of the area's coolest attractions, and is well worth a visit. Don't forget your sunscreen!
