Tips for Families Traveling to Soaky Mountain Waterpark
Bring your own stroller, as they do not have them there. It is a 50-acre amusement park and water park and there is a TON of walking. We started at the very back of the water park when we arrived and worked our way back to the front so we didn’t have tired and complaining kids at the end of a long and fun day.
The concrete walkways were extremely hot during our visit since TN was experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. If your child / family has water shoes I would definitely wear those to make it easier for everyone.
I always dress my children in bright swim shirts so I can identify them in a big crowd or while they are in line for rides. Soaky Mountain waterpark can get busy, so for parents of small children this tip can be great for keeping them safe and finding them more easily.
There is ample seating everywhere you look at Soaky Mountain Waterpark. I was also very impressed by the amount of shaded seating too. If you have a bigger group or are traveling with children who will need a break while there, having a cabana could be a great option. There are cabanas available around the outdoor water park to rent. I also really like this option if you have older children that you feel safe allowing to navigate the park together without an adult you can designate the cabana as a meeting spot to come back to.
Soaky Mountain Waterpark provides life jackets for visitors, but you do need to bring your own towels with you. If you forget anything, there are shops on premise at Soaky Mountain to grab bathing suits, towels, hats, sunglasses and so much more!

Yes! Coyote Springs is perfect to relax, sit comfortably in the water, and enjoy the luxury Coyote Springs cabanas for some shade.

Are there Dining Options available at Soaky Mountain Waterpark?
The adults can enjoy adult beverages at the wipeout bar. There are food trucks around the adventure park and novelty ice cream galore. My children were super pleased with the hot dogs and fountain drinks from the beverage service cafeteria style which was great for families as everyone could find something they loved. If you into sweet treats check out the yukon frozen yogurt and the soaky shake shoppe before you leave. The fresh-squeezed lemonade was a personal favorite for me since it was really hot when we visited in July.
