If you're cruisin' through Orange County and haven’t hit up Knott’s Berry Farm, you're seriously missing out on one of SoCal’s most iconic amusement parks — where wild west vibes, epic coasters, and world-famous boysenberry pie all come together like magic. Located right on Beach Blvd in the heart of Buena Park, this place isn’t just for tourists — locals know it’s got the charm of Disneyland without the drama (and that slightly better ticket price). From high-speed roller coasters to Snoopy-themed kid zones to good ol’ fashioned fried chicken, it’s basically a guaranteed good time for all ages. Plus, with seasonal events like Knott’s Scary Farm in the fall and Knott’s Boysenberry Festival in spring, it’s always bringin' something new to the table.


🎢 Why Knott’s Hits Different

  • 🚂 Home to GhostRider, the longest, fastest, and tallest wooden coaster on the West Coast — prepare for whiplash AND fun

  • 🌵 Ghost Town is a legit step back into the wild west, complete with cowboys, stagecoach rides, and old-timey saloons

  • 🧸 Camp Snoopy for the kiddos — gentle rides, meet-and-greets with Peanuts characters, and plenty of photo ops

  • 🎃 Seasonal events are next level — Knott’s Scary Farm is one of the best Halloween haunts in the country

  • 🍗 Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant is a must — crispy fried chicken, biscuits, and boysenberry everything


📍 The Buena Park Bonus Zone

  • 🛍️ Down the street from Buena Park Downtown, where you’ll find shopping, movies, and random fun like escape rooms

  • 🖼️ Close to The Source OC, a modern plaza with Korean BBQ, dessert spots, and cool Instagram backdrops

  • 🎭 A short drive to Pirates Dinner Adventure and Medieval Times, if you wanna go full-theme on your OC trip

  • 🧳 Minutes from hotels like Courtyard Marriott Buena Park or Knott’s Hotel — perfect if you're doin’ an overnight stay


💬 Locals & Visitors Be Sayin’“Knott’s is my happy place. I’ve been comin’ here since I was a kid and now I bring my own. There’s always something new, but that old-school SoCal charm never fades. The Ghost Town vibes? A whole mood. And don’t even get me started on the funnel cake.” – Naomi R., Fullerton native and thrill-seeker mom of two
