Soak City (Valleyfair)
Soak City is an outdoor water park in Shakopee, Minnesota, United States, within the Valleyfair amusement park, and owned by Six Flags. It is included with theme park admission.
History
The Panic Falls slide complex, built in 1983, was the original part of the park. Originally the area of water rides was called 'Liquid Lightning', but as more were added, the name was changed to Whitewater Country Waterpark in 1992. In late 2008, the name was officially changed to Soak City, consistent with the theming of other water parks of Cedar Fair. On September 11, 2014, Valleyfair announced a major expansion for Soak City. The main headline was slide complex with Breaker's Plunge and Breaker's Pipeline. Also added were Barefoot Beach, a kid's splash pad and sand volleyball courts. At the end of the 2023 season, Raging Rapids unexpectedly closed permanently. On August 5, 2025, Valleyfair announced that Hurricane Falls, Panic Falls Body & Speed Slides, Ripple Rapids, and Splash Station would all permanently close after August 10 and would be replaced by something else that would be announced at a later date.
