Tired of buying more toys that get played with for five minutes and then vanish into the “Land of Lost Stuff” under your couch? Skip the stress, skip the clutter, and give your family something WAY better this year—Soaky Season Passes. Here’s why it’s the “chef’s kiss” of holiday gifts:

1.  It’s an experience, not more “stuff”
No batteries. No tiny pieces. No assembly required.

Just months of memories, sunshine, giggles, and “Can-we-go-back-tomorrow?” moments from May through September. This is the kind of gift your kids actually remember long after the holiday chaos is over.

2. More Bang for your Buck
An individual one-year season pass costs $99.99 so if you visit twice it’s paid for itself (yes, seriously!) 

Season Pass holders also get these amazing perks:
15% off food and beverage
15% off retail purchases
-15% off birthday packages (Monday–Thursday at Soaky, exclusions apply)

PLUS: If you buy a Season Pass before 12/31/2025 you will also get FREE parking each time you visit in 2026 (a $39.99 value).

Want to level up? Grab a 2-Year Season Pass (2026 & 2027) for just $169.99—double the perks, double the fun, and an even bigger discount. Who doesn’t LOVE a bargain?

3. Bonus Discounts Right Across the Street
Your Soaky Season Pass also unlocks sweet perks at our sister resort, Wilderness at the Smokies:
Exclusive $79+tax weekday room rates at Stone Hill Lodge (blackout dates apply)
Discounted ice skating in winter
Half-price Fun Passes

Translation: built-in mini getaways for less.

4. Fun for Every Single Age (Yes, Even Teens)

Littles adore our Boomer’s Bay and Hive areas. Tweens and teens?  Let’s just say they will be more than content conquering our thrill slides and water coasters. And we don’t know anyone who doesn’t love our Surge Wave Pool or Black Bear Adventure River.

In addition to all of our fun attractions, Season Pass holders get:
-Early entry days
-Free Bring-a-Friend add-on days
-Other special perks that make regular guests jealous

5. Sneaky Parent Win: Built-In Family Bonding
Want more together time without forcing everyone into a board game? Done. Slides, wave pools, foam parties—whatever your family’s vibe, you’re gifting memories that don’t require screens, reminders, or active pleading.

6. It Keeps the Holiday Joy Going and Going…
Most gifts get unwrapped and forgotten. A Soaky Season Pass gives your kids:
-Before: the excitement
-During: full-throttle fun
-After: the stories and photos you’ll cherish

And with the LONGEST waterpark season in the state, your family gets months of fun out of a single gift.

7. Payment Plans Make It So Easy
Budget-friendly? Absolutely. Our payment plan breaks the $99.99 pass into monthly payments— we call it holiday-season sanity preserved.

Pop that shiny new pass into a gift bag with some goggles, a swimsuit, or a beach towel, and boom: you’ve just delivered a holiday win worthy of applause.
