The only waterpark in the Palm Springs area, this 16-acre attraction sports a 1950s Southern California beach theme of surf woodies and longboards. Knott's Soak City has 20 attractions, including 13 water slides, an 800,000-gallon wave pool, 600-foot lazy river, kids slides and the Kahuna's Beach House — a multi-level, family funhouse with five water slides.
Daredevils won't want to miss the thrills found on the Tidal Wave Tower with two side-by-side, seven story free-fall body slides. Knott's Soak City's newest attraction Pacific Spin is a multi-person tube ride that begins with a 132-foot long tunnel that drops into a six-story funnel that resembles a steep downhill half-pipe.
Knott's Soak City Palm Springs opened in the early 80s and was originally called Oasis Waterpark. Purchased by Cedar Fair Entertainment in 2001, the park was renovated, re-themed and re-named.
