Fun for the Whole Family
No visit to Buena Park would be complete without a day – or two, or three – at Knott’s Berry Farm, a 65-hectare theme park set on a one-time berry farm. Make no mistake: Knott’s is designed with the entire family in mind, with rides that run the gamut from twisting, turning, heart-pounding roller coasters to bumper cars, carousels and log flumes. Camp Snoopy, a Peanuts Gang-themed area for children houses kid-friendly attractions, live shows and meet-and-greets with Snoopy. In the summer, drop into Knott’s Soak City water park with dozens of thrilling slides, relaxing cabanas and one of the world’s longest lazy rivers.
Delicious Dining
