This truly authentic country dance venue attracts the area's hard-core country enthusiasts decked out in their Stetson hats, polished boots and larger-than-usual belt buckles for a night of dancing to the best country music on the super-sized dance floor. The friendly staff, great drinks, safe environment and good-natured crowd make boot-scootin' at In Cahoots the perfect place to develop your very own honky-tonk attitude.

If you and the kids are ready to take a really wild plunge, then Knott's Soak City Waterpark is the perfect place to land. If you've got a daredevil in your family, there's plenty here to make him or her really happy.
