Located in Buena Park near Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm is an older, smaller theme park catering primarily to younger kids and their families. As the official theme park home of the Peanuts (Snoopy, Charlie Brown) characters, who are available for meet-and-greets and part of a stage show, Knott’s also offers kid-friendly rides and rollercoasters, plus multiple “Old West” themed attractions including a blacksmith, glass blowing, stagecoach ride, stable, and museum. The park also hosts dances for local high schools, enabling schools to offer evening amusement park access to groups of teenagers.
A collection of largely American restaurants provide on-site food ranging from pizzas to mac ‘n cheese, ice cream, baked goods, and fried chicken, as well as limited Mexican fare and a Panda Express. Parking at Knott’s is $30 per day. Admission to Knott’s Soak City, a 15-acre water park, must be purchased separtely.
