Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City! #SoakCityOC

Making a Splash at Knott’s Soak City!

By Erin

The other week the weather was beyond scorching hot. Imagine my delight when I got an invite to attend a media event to come enjoy Knott’s Soak City OC on opening day last weekend. I was ecstatic to get the chance to be able to cool off after these insane 100+ degree days in MAY! I have always enjoyed swimming and spending my summers in a pool, ocean, river, lake, water park, slip in slide or whatever other source of water I could get into.

This summer, I plan to do more of the same. So come join me and relax by the water at Knott’s Soak City, a 13-acre water park adjacent to Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park. Experience the wave pool or cruise in the lazy river. If you’re a bit more daring enjoy the 17 speed, tube, and body slides.  If you prefer to live on the wild side, try the Pacific Spin, which drops you  into a 75 foot, six-story funnel! You will find me floating around at Sunset River, the lazy river at Knott’s Soak City.

Take a look here at some of the fun you can find here!

Look at all the super cool stuff at the Wipe Out Surf Shop inside Knott’s Soak City OC! I love the mermaids and the dolphins! Those Big Squirts look like a lot of fun too, especially since you can use them in the park. They even have filling stations to fill up your Big Squirts at! 😉

This favorite tradition of many folks in Southern California, including myself are sure to enjoy this theme of “Come & Get It.” You will be able to get your  fill of giant turkey legs, fried foods from Chicken Charlies, Texas sized donuts that are maple glazed with bacon on top, funnel cakes, roasted corn, cotton candy, ice cream and tons of other tasty options on a stick, from the BBQ or deep-fried favorites. Take a look at some of the delectable offerings here! 🙂 YUM!

Who doesn’t love a yummy frozen treat like Yogurtland? Wait don’t answer that… anyways, I know I LOVE frozen yogurt and Yorgurtland is one of my all time favorite places to get it at. I mean, look at the awesome creations  you can make! Isn’t it pretty? Almost TOO pretty to eat, notice I said ALMOST  though. It’s too good to pass up! 😉 I love how you can pick and choose what you want and take as much of or as little of everything that your little heart desires.
