What better way to kick off summer in Cincinnati than with a splash?

Join us Memorial Day Weekend as Soak City Water Park at Kings Island opens for the season to be among the first to dive into all the aquatic fun!

Take on RiverRacers, Ohio’s first and only dual‑racing water coaster, or explore the riverside‑themed Splash River Junction, featuring seven kid‑friendly water slides perfect for young adventurers. Craving thrills? Experience your favorite heart‑pounding slides like Tropical Plunge and Rendezvous Run!

Visiting with a group? Don’t miss Mondo Monsoon, the ultimate raft ride that twists and drops through enclosed rapids. Prefer something a little more laid‑back? Float along Splash River or cool off in Tidal Wave Bay, one of our massive wave pools. With interactive play areas, water features, and fun for every age, Soak City offers endless ways to stay cool all summer long.

When it’s time to recharge, enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious bites at Coconut Cove Café and Island Smokehouse, or grab a tasty treat from one of our many snack locations throughout the park.

Make a splash this Memorial Day Weekend—summer starts at Soak City.
