Soaky Mountain Waterpark

Soaky runs a summer-focused season, with the gates opening in spring or early summer and closing in the fall. The pass-holder schedule in 2026 ran every day through Labor Day and then weekends in September, so expect a similar pattern next year. The hours page posts the calendar once the next season is set. This page does not list opening dates, since none have been announced for 2027.

The attractions list on the park's website shows a wide mix:

• Wave pool and Adventure River for relaxed floating.
• FlowRider surf simulator.
• Wibit obstacle course for floating challenges.
• Thrill rides and family rides, including Rafter's Rage and The Edge.
• Areas for the littles, with smaller slides and splash zones.
• Cabanas and lockers you can rent for the day.

The park also lists dining and a retail store. Specific slide heights, lengths and rider limits are posted on each attraction's page, so check those before you plan around a favorite.

Soaky sells daily tickets, season passes and parking passes through its website. Prices vary by date, and this page does not print numbers that could be stale. Season passes often include perks such as discounts at partner lodging, and the site lists a passholder room discount for Wilderness properties. The park's phone number is (833) 687-6259.

• Buy tickets online ahead of time, especially for weekends and holidays.
• Arrive at opening to claim loungers and cabanas, and to ride the busiest slides before lines build.
• Bring water shoes if you want to walk the pavement comfortably, and plan for sunscreen reapplication.
• Check the park's rules on outside food, coolers and swimwear before you pack.
• If your group includes toddlers, look at the kids' areas and height requirements first.

If you are visiting in the off-season, look at indoor options, such as Sevier Air, the Smoky Mountain Knife Works showroom, or the Pigeon Forge show lineup. Soaky is a summer plan, so it is best to treat it as a stop for June through Labor Day.
