Soak City's Buena Park location opened on May 24th for the 2008 Summer Season.

The announced closing time was 6 pm; the park closed at 5 pm, nevertheless. There were very few people at the water park that day, so this probably won't happen to you if you visit on a busy summer afternoon.)Here's the list of operating dates and hours for the rest of this water park's season, which runs through September, 2008: JUNE hours at Soak City Buena Park: From Sunday, June 1st through Sunday, June 22, the Orange Co Soak City location opens at 10 am and closes at 6 pm.
