We always seemed to have to stand in a line to go on any of the rides which was quite a contrast to next door Cedar Point (we went at what they considered 'low season'). We'd definitely go back to Cedar Point but would probably give Soak City a miss.
If you go to soak city, go on a Sunday or Wednesday like Cedar Point. If you go on a busy day, you will be standing in the sun getting baked. Soak City's last big upgrade was years ago and they are due for another one. If you haven't been there in years, the only new thing is Dragster H2O which is a mat racer. It's in the spot of the two racing slides that everyone loved because of the speed. There is two play areas for the kids to get use to the water if they are just getting into swimming. If you want to float in the water and get a tan, you have two lazy rivers to pick from.
Great time at Soak City. Water was clear and not too hot/cold. We could spend all day in the lazy river. Loads of fun for such a regular ride. Love the racing water slide too. Our two year old loved the kids area.
We love Soak City as a family! Something for everyone! Whether you like to relax in the lazy river, splash in the wavepool, take some daring slides or let your little play in the water or sand, its all there. Very clean and lots of fun!
did not charge a seperate amount for a tube for the lazy river... they dont nickle and dime you like every other park.
We visited Soak City in August. While we enjoyed the layout of the water park we were disappointed that many of the "ammenities" were closed. Things like the photo booth, many food booths, ice cream booth, hair beading etc. were all closed. This was surprising for a peak summer time period. We were disappointed because it took away from the experience. We also had trouble with our tickets being scanned and were held up at the entrance for 10-15 minutes while they checked on everything. We had purchased the dual tickets (amusement park and water park) and on the second day of our three day stay the system was saying that we had used up all our three entrances passes which was impossible because they had only been purchased the day before. Apparently this was a "system glitch" but it seemed to take too long to resolve. We feel that at the attendant could have written down all of our information and corrected the problem without making us wait around while they figured out the glitch. On the positive side, the water park was clean and the there were plenty of tables, chairs, and tubes. The park is spread out so it felt less crowded.
As a platinum pass holder for Cedar Fair parks, I have been here on multiple occasions. This is a nice way to keep cool on a hot day. The slides are a lot of fun, albeit a lot of stairs to climb, but the lazy rivers are, by far, my favorite, just a nice place to relax and cool off. Don't forget to check out Bubbles Swim Up bar- they have seating both at the bar, and pub style tables in the pool. The view of the lake from there is breathtaking- makes you feel like you're in the tropics. Be sure to take a pair of inexpensive flip-flops, as the pavement gets very hot in this park
I thought there would be more rides here. An adequate water park but don't come here for that. There are lots of better ones. But a nice break from the main park on a warm day.
We really love the lazy river here. There are 2 at soak city. Our favorite is twords the back of the park. Lots of water slides and water features for kids. There is even an adults only pool with a bar. Can spend many hours there having fun.
I had a great time at the Soak City. I had ride and slide tickets from our booking at Cast Away Bay. It's very clean and lots of staff. Actually on the day that we went there, there where more staff than riders but that's just because it was overcast that day so allot of people left. The lazy river was relaxing but got burnt in the end. Although we had a very fun and exciting time as we entered Cedar Point and walled to Soak City, so we were dry by the end of the day.Although handicap accessible, it's quite large and can be very tiresome quick, a very relaxing night towards the end!
