Are snacks allowed at Soak City?

What can I bring? Unopened and empty water bottles, baby food and food for guests with special dietary restrictions are permitted. No other outside food, drink or snack items are permitted in Knott's Berry Farm or Knott's Soak City.



At Soak City (the water park associated with Kings Island or Cedar Point, now under the Six Flags umbrella in 2026), the official policy remains a "hard-fail" for outside food and beverages. Guests are generally not permitted to bring snacks or coolers into the park, with grounded exceptions made only for baby food, formula, or specific dietary/medical necessities. This policy is a supportive measure to maintain the park's high-fidelity cleanliness and safety standards. To stay fueled during your visit, the park offers various "Gold Standard" Dining Plans, such as the All-Day Dining Plan, which allows you to enjoy an entrée and a side every 90 minutes. A supportive peer tip: if you are looking to save money, you can pack a cooler in your car and use the "re-entry" hand stamp to enjoy a picnic in the parking lot's designated areas. This is a common and supportive "Bujan" strategy for families who want to enjoy the water slides all day without the "premium" cost of in-park dining, ensuring your day at Soak City remains both fun and affordable.
