Knott’s Soak City to Close Two Thursdays in August as Scary Farm Prep Begins
The adjusted calendar signals Knott’s shift from summer operations to its September 18 Scary Farm season.
Overview
- Knott’s notified passholders that Soak City will be closed on Thursday, August 22 and Thursday, August 29.
- The blackouts apply only to the seasonal water park next to Knott’s Berry Farm and do not cover the main theme park.
- The trimmed dates shorten the late-summer run for Orange County’s 15-acre water park as operations transition toward fall.
- Knott’s confirmed The Grimoire and Mesmer: Sideshow of the Mind will have their final season in 2025, with designers citing pandemic-era constraints that shaped both mazes.
- A new Victorian-themed maze was teased, and the sold-out Nightmares Revealed event hosted by the Boulet Brothers will present the full 2025 Scary Farm lineup.
