The only time to go is Halloween!

by kiercemartin

So, sure this is a fun place- not as cool as Disneyland, not as many great rides as Six Flags...but the coolest thing about this place is when it turns in to Knott's Scary Farm, which makes the whole thing entirely worth it. Kind of a one time thing, but definitely something to check out if you've never been.

Knotts so nice, berry farm

by concerned4myfamily

My 12 year old daughter just got back from Knotts yesterday where she attended a birthday party for one of her class mates. The only thing she could talk about were all the strange people that she saw there and how they scarred her.. She said the place was full of "goth" people and kids with excessive amounts of piercings and tattoos, and it made her feel uncomfortable. She was particularly scared of one goth kid who had white contacts in his eyes ...... She also said that the staff wasn't very friendly... She made the comment "It's no Disneyland".

As a parent, I don't want my kids put into an environment that makes them feel uncomfortable or presents a bad influence on them. I'm sure we'll never go to Knotts again and I'll recommend to the school districts that they continue to go the Disney for their school outtings....... As it appears that Knotts is looking at Magic Mountain as a business model instead of raising it's standards to that of Disney..

• Pros: It's close to those who live in O.C.
• Cons: Dirty, unfriendly staff, don't expect Disneyland......

An old-time outpost with kid-friendly rides and a growing number of state-of-the-art thrills.

The Appeal
It may be lower in profile than Disneyland with a county-fair ambience, but this theme park is doing its fair share of luring in the masses. At the heart of Knott's Berry Farm is an old-fashioned ghost town, complete with saloon shows and blacksmith demonstrations. For a real treat, don't miss the deliciously twisty funnel cakes and the park's famed jams and jellies, on sale next door at the marketplace.

Facts and Features
Favorite adrenaline-pumping attractions include Ghost Rider, a purposely rickety wooden coaster, and Supreme Scream, a 250-foot-tall free fall. You'll also find old standbys like SoCal's original water rafting ride, Bigfoot Rapids, and the no-frills mainstay Timber Mountain Log Ride. Younger kids will enjoy Camp Snoopy, offering photo ops with Peanuts characters, and Indian Trails, featuring native arts and crafts.

Best theme park in So Cal

by netter1

In the "Land of Disney", I have to say that my favorite theme park is actually Knott's. As a native Angeleno, I've been visiting Knott's for decades. It's changed a lot over the years (like all the theme parks), but they've held onto many of the things I love about this park. The old western town...the midway games...and it's still one of the few places I can get a truly mouth-puckering pickle right out of a huge wooden barrel. Of course, these days they are famous for their Halloween Haunt, but throughout the rest of the year, it's still fun. Of course, there's always fried chicken and boysenberry syrup!!

• Cons: pricey admission

Couldn't even Get in to tell ya...

by showcat

I think it's ridiculous how they oversell the Knotts Scary Farm event. Couldn't even get close enough to tell you if it sucked or not. I'm sure once we got in the lines would be too long and the crowds too frustrating to even enjoy ourselves. After dropping $46 per ticket, we decided to turn around and come home...drink some beer and just watch scary movies instead.

• Pros: Nada
• Cons: Just plain crowded. Expect to sit in traffic for hours and forget about finding parking

Knotts Scary Farm

by annalieseyankee

We went to the Halloween Haunt the night before Halloween and it was a big disappointment. The park was too overcrowed to enjoy, it was an effort just walking around trying to avoid walking into people. The lines to any of the decent rides/mazes were way too long for any sane person to stand in.

The extremely strict security checks were a sign of what was to come inside, mostly a young crowd of 'punks'...not a good vibe at all...

• Pros: Inventive attractions
• Cons: Too crowded

Amazing Park--The Cedar Point of the west.

by em_il_io

I'm from Indiana and went to to Knott's Berry Farm while visiting family in CA. I would recommend getting the California Tour gift package or whatever so you can go to CA best tourist locations. That's the whole reason why we went to KBF.

I wasn't sure what to expect from KBF at first. After about an hour, I was having the time of my life. If you are familiar with Cedar Point in OH (the best roller coaster park in the world), you'll LOVE KBF. All the rides had no more than 15 min wait. The crowds were low and the food delicious. If you want to the fun of Cedar Point but not the crowds, Knott's Berry Farm is the place for you. Also, outside the park they have an identical replica of Independence Hall where you can go in and tour. Pretty neat.

• Pros: Lines, Rides, Prices
• Cons: Bathrooms

Knott's Berry Farm. The ULTIMATE theme park.

by praisepollux

Yes, I love Six Flags Parks, but they seem so unwelcoming. They just tell you to get in, go on our rides, and get out. None of them have their own websites, either. They rely on Six Flags to do that for them. They don't make their own decisions, and the parks are almost always dirty and the lines are huge. Knotts though, is AMAZING. So you're a thrill seeker? Go on Ghost Rider, Xcelerator, ect. So you're scared of that? Go on other rides, or hang out at Camp Snoopy with your kids. Also, the service is great. And for people who heard about the accident where that woman fell off? That was before they had OTS seatbelts and she was being stupid and stood up during the drop. Don't let that stop you from going on it. If you are stopping in California, make this a main priority.

• Pros: Rides, Friendly Staff, Prices
• Cons: None.
