Welcome
to the land of Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy. Knotts Berry Farm is a mix of
the Old West entertainment and extreme thrill. Six themed areas...Ghost
Town, Camp Snoopy, Indian Trails, Fiesta Village, the Boardwalk and Wild
Water Wilderness will take you a day to explore. Knotts Berry Farm is one of the Top 10
most popular theme parks in California. With an Old Western theme,
thrill roller coasters, extreme rides and a location 10 to 15 minutes from
Disneyland, it's well worth visiting for a day of fun. During the summer
they have great entertainment and BBQs and the fall brings Halloween Haunt,
an amazing, scary experience.
There are over 165 rides at the
park, including the longest, tallest wooden roller coaster in the West,
GhostRider. After you've ridden it, you can view a photograph of yourself on
a monitor and purchase the image taken while you were experiencing the
GhostRider thrill.
Supreme Scream is the tallest man made
structure in Orange County. It offers an experience similar to bunjee jump
without risk.

Knotts Berry Farm started out as
a place to eat chicken dinners (they still serve them hot and tasty) but
grew and turned into not one but two major theme parks. There's Knotts Berry
Farm on one side of Beach Boulevard and Soak City on the other. Both are
owned and operated by Cedar Fair, L.P.
Knotts Berry Farm, the first theme park, began
as a place to pan for gold and do a few fun things while waiting to dine at
the famous restaurant in Buena Park that served crispy, fried chicken, mash
potatoes, all the fixins' and a boysenberry pie, a delicious berry hybrid
created by the family. So popular was the food that the clever Walter Knotts
thought up some entertainment while folks stood waiting for their turn to
dine at the limited seating food venue. It started with a few simple, fun
things to do such as pan for gold. Walter had a passion for the Old West and
wanted to bring the educational aspects of that era to diners standing in
line.
