Kings Dominion’s Soak City

About

Soak City at Kings Dominion brings together more than two dozen water slides, a massive wave pool, lazy rivers, and splash areas across 20 acres of sun-soaked fun. Located within the larger Kings Dominion theme park in Doswell, Virginia, Soak City is included with regular park admission, making it an outstanding value for families and groups looking to cool off during the warmer months.

The water park caters to a wide range of thrill levels. Speed slides and multi-story tube rides deliver excitement for adrenaline seekers, while calmer attractions like the lazy river and shallow splash zones welcome younger children and those who prefer a gentler pace. Cabanas are available for rent, giving visitors a shaded home base to relax between attractions.

Kings Dominion draws more than 13 million visitors annually to its 400-acre property, and Soak City is a major part of that appeal. The park sits about 20 miles north of Richmond, making it an easy day trip from much of central Virginia. Season passes and single-day tickets both include access to the water park, so there's no extra fee to enjoy the slides and pools.

Before your visit, downloading the Kings Dominion mobile app is a smart move. It provides real-time wait times, park maps, and information about dining options. The park offers a variety of food and drink throughout Soak City, so you won't need to leave the water park area to grab lunch.

Whether you're planning a full weekend getaway or a quick summer escape, Soak City pairs perfectly with the rides and entertainment at the main Kings Dominion park for a complete destination experience.
