I was able to see a handful of mazes. Since the wait at some are over an hr long. The park decor is really nice. I would of liked to ride ghost rider, but wait was over 2hrs. Had the funnel cake, liked it.
I always renew my pass for knotts and soak city. fun fun family times.
Great rides, kinda lame rules... no costumes inside....... but this place is way better than Disney land and California Adventures
We had an amazing time celebrating our lil girls bday
A fun place with a great mix of kid friendly and thrill rides.
One of the best place to visit!
Very pricey merch and food, but, the passes are cheap enough! Of course they have to raise the food and merch!
Above all, I think it's a great place to spend time with friends at.
Had a great time. Park is kept up and the food was amazing.
Knott's is unlike other theme parks, but it's hard to put in words how it is unique. Maybe it's the scenery, the way the huge trees make it feel like you're someplace else. The food is tasty. I feel like the food at most theme parks is microwaved cardboard, but here the food is pretty good. The employees seem happy, they smile and take their time ringing you up, making you feel like a person, and making the employee feel like a person, too. It's just a nice place. I think it might be my favorite theme park. It definitely beats the mouse castle place, hands down. Its cheaper, less crowded, more chill, prettier, happier employees by FAR, cleaner... just skip that overpriced place and go to Knott's instead. And get a geode. And a jar of jam.
The rides were amazing. And if I could I would probably stay there for at least a week. I rode most of the rides and the ones I did ride were all the big ones. I totally give it five stars.
Loved this park so much! Went as part of a road trip with a couple friends, and since some of us have been to Disney or universal before, we chose this. Couldn't have chosen better! The train and the ghost town live action game and (especially) the rides aren't just for little kids. Peanuts was a nice nostalgic touch too.
Also, for history buffs, check out the old West museum, they have some really cool stuff and the staff in there are the best.
VEry fun and extremely awesome time in here. Must come
Fun if you have a season pass... Dont go on a Saturday and pay for gate price for day. Very busy on weekends. Also, get parking for the season. Save some $$$
A great deal when you have a pass. My kids love going here. Lots of great wild rides and a come alive town...I really love knotts scary farm
We love Knott's Berry Farm! It's a must do every summer!
Still has better mazes than Universal Studios. I've gone to both places and that's my conclusion, love it or hate it, I'll stand by it.
I have visited this park for many years, but yesterday july 20th I had the worse experience there. About 200 teenagers were running in a group together like a stampede running over anyone in there paths. Horrible very scary experience. I felt like I was in the middle of a riot. Security to me felt like none and it took them a very long time to get a group of police and security to try to get a handle on the situation that was horribly out of control.
It was fun and all but at the end of the day we went on a boat suing and it got stuck when the ride was about to be over my grandma when on the ride and after a week she was still wanting to trow up and the employees acted like it was okay
Its a fun place to go but better to go on a weekday when there arent as much people because the lines get soooo long and it sucks waiting an hour for a 2 to 3 min ride specially during the summer. I still like this place and have gone a couple of times and will be going back again soon. Its a big theme park and very fun obviously cheaper than Disneyland
Always have a fun time and experience with the kids here never a dull moment.
Not the place for serious thrill seekers - there were limited large roller coasters and they all had long wait times (longer than 90 minutes). The theme of the park was a little disconcerting but fun if you're into old west styles. The mobile app was very helpful to navigate and showed updated wait times.
Knott's Berry Farm is a 57-acre (23 ha) theme park located in Buena Park, California, owned and operated by Cedar Fair. In 2018, it was the twelfth-most-visited theme park in North America and averages approximately 4 million visitors per year. The park features 40 rides including roller coasters, family rides, dark rides and water rides.
The theme park began in the 1920s as a road-side berry stand run by Walter Knott along State Route 39 in California. By the 1940s, a restaurant, several shops, and other attractions had been constructed on the property to entertain a growing number of visitors, including a replica ghost town. The site continued its transformation into a modern amusement park over the next two decades, and an admission charge was added in 1968. In 1997 the park was sold to Cedar Fair for $300 million, just two years after the Knott's food business was acquired by Conagra, Inc. in 1995.
Food products
The J.M. Smucker Company continues to sell the jam and preserves made famous by the Knott family; however, other products, such as the syrups, have been discontinued due to low demand.
In November 2013, Knott's Berry Farm began selling their "Berry Market" brand of preserves at the park. The Berry Market brand is all-natural. They are unable to use "Knott's" on the label, since Smucker's owns the rights to the name.
Excerpt from Wikipedia
The cast interacts with guests and is helpful and friendly. The park is clean and there's a nice variety of food. Nice setting with trees and shaded areas to sit and relax. Of course the rides are awesome. This is a place to visit again and again!
Had a great time, we went on a Tuesday morning and we didn't have to wait in any lines and we were able to stay on a few rides until lines started to form for a couple of turns. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Great variety of rollercoasters. Military friendly. No crowds.
The Holiday Skating with Snoopy was so Great!! The Skater's in the Show were Outstanding!! Also saw Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies!! Very Funny!! Have Loved them since they were at Disneyland!! So Happy to see them at Knott's!!
Never a bad time,food is excellent, boysenberry paradise,and if you've never witnessed it at Christmas,I highly recommend you do!
Have a season pass it is great. They sould include Knotts Scary Farm to the gold season pass
It was a good amusement park.. if you just like average rides. There are no shows, parades, fireworks, or wait times for rides. I guess Disney has spoiled me. Im used to above and beyond theming, characters and magical family memories. But the price is decent and not over crowdes
So much fun, the peanuts store though should be inside the park and the parking situation needs to be fixed but the experience is first rate.
Last year we had a great time visiting Knott's scary farm (a Friday night, closest to Halloween). It was so exciting that we decided to visit again this year. We drove all the way from San Diego on Saturday Oct 27. However, our experience was completely different compared to last year. The park was flooded with people. None of our group members thought it is safe to let that many people in, while that also caused a huge amount of trouble for normal park operations. Every line had at least two hours waiting time, while one entertainment facilities even stopped working as soon as we were close to the start of the line, which is unacceptable. We were only able to visit one of the haunted houses. There was absolutely no staff supervision of those long lines, where people were pushing and touching, and none of the park staffs were around. Some people were even vomiting in lines, and there was no one to even clean that up.
We felt unsafe with the situation we faced, specially having our family facing this awful situation, and had to leave. Even one of our group members felt sick and there was not anyone around to even help. There were not enough staffs that night to be able to handle the huge number of people who were let in, which is the violation of safety codes. Although we had a great time last year, I do not think we would ever come back to visit again due to the extremely bad experience we had that night.
Great rides and reasonable wait times on par with what you would expect at most amusement parks.
This is such a nice place clean fun atmosphere great good great place for the family
Great family place even if my son was scared of Snoopy at first. Entertaining and good food.
I loved the rollercoasters and the stage coach the ceanery was beautiful
Fun theme park that's not as expensive as others in the area. Good place for families. Great if you like to ride rollercoasters too.
We go all the time, have a year pass with a meal plan on it. We can go just to eat, ride a ride or spend the hole day. It's a great special to buy and very well worth your money.
Love this place! You can never go wrong with this place. Fun the whole family can enjoy. Employees are extremely helpful , nice and ready to answer your questions. Definitely recommend this place .
Had a Good time at Knott's Scary Farm with Tinywise! Watching her interact with people smiling the whole time is something I will never ever forget of my tiny Best Friend! Knott's your scary creatures embraced her love of being one of them! To each of you God Bless all of you who shared that experience with her and me on Wednesday night! Truly Loved watching people pretend to be Scared of her when she said Boo in her Tiny voice that was silent for so long! I truly want to Applaud Knott's! I've been a life time fan of logride always have to ride it 5 times! Last Night I rode it only 1 time and that's ok with me! Shopping is always good if we buy the james an jellys!
Just came here with our family with little to no expectations and it turned out so wonderful for 5 kids at heart. The rides were so much more diverse and intense than we ever thought, and because we went on a Thursday there were no lines the entire day! Such a great experience!
Fun park. A lot better then it used to be. Why is it all coasters now though?
Hangtime and Xcelerator are the best in the OC. Great service too. Great rides other than that.
Great times with the family. Always a pleasure coming here!
I had a really fun time at Knott's berry farm especially since I did not want to miss out on the boysenberry festival!! I definitely recommend going with family and friends or just on your on a great place to go and just have fun. The 3d reef ride was pretty cool a lot of laughs and the Xtreme ride A+ as for the Calico Mine ride that one is definitely a lot of fun. All the employee were very friendly there's so much I want to say about the great time I had, just go and enjoy your day at Knott's berry farm you won't be disappointed :)
Great time not over crowded. Was able to get on most rides with out a long wait. Military were honored by free entry. Way to go Knott's Berry for recognizing those that served. Please continue this
Vibe is way better and less stressful than Disneyland with great meal plans. However, restrooms are poorly monitored and need to be kid friendly.
For all the rides it is more then worth the cost to get a fast pass. So much more time riding then waiting. Secure family environment with a little something for everyone.
Lots of love entertainment, including my favorite performer; Kirk Wall; in Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies, other bands stunt shows and street performers make Knott's personal and fun even when crowded. Ghost Rider is my all-time favorite roller coaster, followed closely by Hangtime. The homespun, old timey atmosphere in Ghost Town has been kept through the 65 years I've enjoyed Knott's, and every visit brings back happy memories while creating new ones. The annual pass price hasn't been raised in decades and is an outstandingly bargain.
Great experience, wait in lines were short, no fast pass needed, park was clean, staff were friendly and knowledgable .parking was easy to find and convenient. All in all a great experience
A good place to take family and friends. When Disney is out of your price range, Knott's Berry Farm will do. They recently remodeled the Chicken Dinner Restaurant. They also have newer attractions in Ghost Town.
Very overlooked location, especially because it's relatively close to Disneyland. The rides are fun, plenty of good food within the park, and the prices for everything are very reasonable. Lines for the rides can be a little long some days, and the parking is quite a long walk from the park entrance, but still a good place to spend the day for kids and adults alike. Be sure to go to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner restaurant, the food there is the best!
Fun,fun,fun more small kid friendly than Disney
And so much cheaper. People do not forget about Knotts if you go to Disneyland. A great theme and just plain fun
It might be better other times of the year, but do NOT go the week after Christmas. The lines for the rides are bad, but bearable. And I understand those get long with crowds. What is really horrible is the food lines. We were there a few days so ate quite a few meals at the park and it was 45 to 90 minutes every single time just to get food. They didn't have all the cashier spots open at the food locations and didn't have the kitchen staffed fully. Not prepared at all for large crowds. Then most of the food was really bland. Mac and cheese was really soggy.
Great theme park in the LA area. Definitely a cheaper option than Disneyland or Universal Studios. I would recommend coming here in the fall time on a weekday (if you can). I went end of November on a weekday and waited at most 5 minutes in line for the major rides. Only minor negative about going at this time is not all the restaurants are open so it s a little harder to find food. Don t even bother buying the Fast Lane pass during this time, it will be a complete waste as regular admission people didn t even wait 5 minutes. They have some decent kids rides and if your kids love the Peanuts gang, this park is a must visit.
Love going to Knotts to enjoy rides and ambience. Season passes are always a deal. Helps to get at least one platinum pass in the family to pay for parking over time. To maximize rides, weekday evenings are the least crowded.
Real crowded on a off weekend, slippery & wet from the rain, food EXPENSIVE !!!
My family and I went on 2/17/20, which in hindsight was a bit of bad choice, because it is a holiday. It was Presidents day. Well it was busy, very busy in fact. So the lines had very long wait times. And their App was has a cool feature, you can check the wait times. Well, it would be cool, if it was accurate. It was not, maybe it was because it was so busy. For instance, my adult son decided to ride xcelerator, we were near the ride it and the App said it was a 5 minute wait. Well he was in line about an hour, maybe more. I completely lost tract of time when it went so long. Maybe they were understaffed. Another for instance, is I took our granddaughter to some kiddy rides, which do not show wait times, just says ride is open. Well anyways, the line was not terribly long, maybe 50 or so people. The ride itself was only about a 2 minute ride. And that would take about an hour to get on that ride. It seemed that most of the kids rides, have only one worker. And when your talking, bringing the kids and some parents on, making sure they're safe, then running the ride, then departing them, and doing it all over again and again. It took a unreasonable amount of time. For a ride that was only one or two minutes long.
Other than that, the park was clean, easy to find your way around. We bought season passes, so we return, but it won't be on a holiday.
Exciting roller coasters, costly food and items. Name is a bit misleading, though.
Wish they had the Halloween stuff out but great all the same
So many lovely snoopy! Try their fried chicken before you go home.
Fun amusement park, affordable and fun for the whole family
Still love this place it's a place a went to frequently as a child. Wish they didnt replace the oringinal rides but still fun to shop around.
Lots of fun, good price and way less busy than Disney
Love it! I go at least 3 or 4 times a month, sometimes by myself on the way home from church in LA, I live in the IE for lunch and exercise, my granddaughter RoRo loves it too!
Amazing place for the whole family. You definetly have enough of everything. You have rides for kids, adults, and teenagers. Very very fun! Lines are not too long during the weekdays
So cute and a perfect place to spend the day with a little one. I'd say it's probably not for kids older than 6.
Price is very good for season pass, all ages will enjoy. Look for all the perks you can get for a season pass holder.
Hands down the best theme park for
People with kids under 5. The lines were quick and food and drinks reasonably priced. We got there at 12 and stayed until closing, just felt like it flew by so fast with all the fun we had.
Great rides, good food. Not as busy or pricey as Disney.
Fantastic place for the whole family! Suggested for individuals under 20 years old!
So much fun! I wouldn't recommend it without fast pass in the weekend or holidays because the lines are quite long. So if you want to skip the lines and have a lot of fun this is the place to go to
Thrill rides for an affordable price. As a rollercoaster enthusiast, my favorite is Hangtime. Make sure you check what times are busiest and avoid those for the best experience.
Close to home, some of the best coasters in the U.S., family friendly, great food,lots to do.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays at Knott's Merry Farm! Here are our photos and fond memories from a 2008 visit!
I loved their production of A Christmas Carol, and of course Snoopy's Cool Christmas!
Where else can you look like the guy from Fruit of the Loom underwear? Much more fun (and cheaper) than Disneyland. We got the season pass with interest free payments.
Knott's Berry Farm Es my best place with my baby girl Alexis
Once it starts getting dark, it becomes super ghetto with swarms of people fighting and running all over the place... I didnt feel safe having my kids there..
I had such a great time with my family at Knotts that I decided to buy a season's pass and meal drink and even photo pass.
