Kings Dominion’s Soak City water park typically opens later than the main park and is treated as its own “opening day” on the calendar. For the 2025 season, Soak City’s official water park opening day is listed separately on Kings Dominion’s site as a late‑May event.

2025 water park opening

  • Kings Dominion’s main park opening day and Soak City’s opening day are separate events on their official calendar.
  • The dedicated Soak City “Waterpark Opening Day” page is tied to a late‑May weekend and marks the first day the water attractions operate for the season.
  • After that date, the water park generally runs on a seasonal schedule (mostly weekends at first, then more days as summer approaches), so you’ll want to double‑check the exact day you plan to visit on their calendar.

How to confirm for your exact date

Because operating calendars can shift year to year, the most reliable way to know “when does Kings Dominion water park open” for the specific season you’re planning is:

  1. Go to the Kings Dominion official site’s main page.
  1. Open the “Calendar & Hours” section and select your month and day to see if Soak City is listed as open.
  1. Look for any “Waterpark Opening Day” or Soak City‑specific event listing in late spring, which marks the first operating day of the water park.
