Knott’s Soak City Map and Brochure (2023 – 2024)
Spread across a flat grid of palm-lined paths, Knott’s Soak City circles its wave pool and lazy river like a sunbelt retreat built for splash-and-dash pacing. The Knott’s Soak City map makes sense of the place when everything looks like blue water and tan concrete, guiding you from slide towers to shaded cabanas, quick-service taco stands, and tram stops back toward Knott’s Berry Farm.
It’s especially handy near the bridge that narrows by Banzai Falls—a real bottleneck when the afternoon crush hits. Locals swear the best route is clockwise from Sunset River, towel in hand.
