Just a few days ago, my family and I were invited to enjoy Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel and Soak City for a staycation!

We were able to stay in The Knott’s Berry Hotel on the Snoopy wing. It’s a really fun resort that just went through some really great upgrades. We normally stay at the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel a few times a year because it is very convenient and comfortable for our whole family!

The Knott’s Hotel rooms feature vibrant colors that are spacious and comfortable. The hotel features a SNOOPY-themed wing, a fitness center, pool with children’s activity area, lights sports courts and many other amenities.

Dining options are delicious and room service is offered. The best part of the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel is that you are just steps away from fun! Knott’s Theme Park and Soak City tickets can be purchased right at the front desk of the hotel and you can take advantage of the discounts the hotel offers.

Not only will the entire Camp Snoopy be fresh and revitalized, they also are adding three new rides! Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer, Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies, and Linus Launcher. 

This restoration and addition to Camp Snoopy demonstrates a commitment to keeping Camp Snoopy a beloved Children’s area for generations to come. My girls enjoyed every second they were there and it’s such a fun feeling to know that my girls are enjoying something that i enjoyed at their ages too!

If you are a fan of water parks like we are… You are going to go crazy about Knott’s Soak City Waterpark in Orange County! This map shows how huge the park is! This was actually my first time there and we are totally going to be going back multiple times this year!

This is the perfect way to spend a hot summer day. There are slides & attractions for every member of the family. The thrill seekers to the little ones just getting their toes wet will find fun at Soak City. If you want to sit back and relax, take a trip down the Sunset River and enjoy the perfect day in the water.

Make sure you protect your families skin with some good sunscreen! And protect your phone from water damage with this amazing product the BubbleShield from The Joy Factory! I was given one to try and it was awesome being able to bring my phone into the water areas!

The slides at Soak City are thrilling and exciting yet tame enough that my 4 year old still loved them just as much as the 14 year old!

My girls loved every moment in the water and sun! It really was a perfect day. The weather was amazing and the time with my family was wonderful!

The slides and attractions are really offer something for everyone. I think each one of us found our personal favorite.

2

Sunset River is THE way to relax! Grab an inner tube and float all day long or just let your body be pushed by the gentle current down the river.

3

This Laguna Storm Water Tower will get you praying the weather clears on the Typhoon, Tornado and Cyclone tube slides. 

4

 

Try the Pacific Spin for a thrilling multi-person raft ride that includes a 132 foot long tunnel that drops its rider 75 feet into a six-story funnel!

There are plenty of green spots in the park to sit and take a break in the shade. Fun and relaxation at it’s best!

Knott’s Soak City is open now! 

 

Which would you choose… one of the fast and thrilling slides or the lazy Sunset River?

  • That looks like so much fun! My kids are creeped out by characters, though. LOL. Even at disney sometimes.

  • Aww, this wasn’t open when we lived in LA. All we had was the small one in San Dimas!

  • Looks like you had a fantastic vacation. The hotel looks great and the water park looks like a blast. How fun that they have a special wing of the hotel for their younger guests.
