Knott's Berry Farm: A Hidden OC Summer Vacation Gem
Knott’s Berry Farm, now a theme park, began as a diner and roadside berry stand. It’s a bit of a hidden gem among tourists, since most people travel to Orange County to visit Disneyland®. The fun never stops here and you can enjoy tons of rides, games, activities, and special events all day long! Here’s what to know and where to stay during your visit to Knott’s Berry Farm.
The Original California Theme Park
Knott’s was the first theme park to be built in America, making it the oldest currently operating. It’s also one of the largest, so there’s plenty to see and do for people of all ages. Check out some of these top attractions:
- Old West Ghost Town. The Ghost Town is the park’s major attraction, featuring a steam train, cowboy shootouts, and a white water river excursion. Plus, you can ride the GhostRider – the West Coast’s tallest and fastest wooden coaster!
- Camp Snoopy. Camp Snoopy is the first area within a theme park to be designed just for kids, and it’s the perfect place to camp out with the littles for an afternoon or even a whole day! Ride the Sierra Sidewinder coaster or the Linus Launcher, or take in a show at the theater and see the whole PEANUTS gang.
- Fiesta Village. Celebrate California’s rich Hispanic heritage in an area of the park specially designed to feature classic Mexican-style architecture and delicious foods. Don’t miss the Knott’s Jaguar! coaster, which winds its way through a mysterious and ancient-looking Mayan temple for three minutes of nonstop excitement.
- The Boardwalk. Stroll along the Knott’s Boardwalk and enjoy the distinctly Southern California beach vibe. Here you’ll find food trucks, souvenirs, games, and rides, like the family rollercoaster Coast Rider or the thrill-seeking Xcelerator ride, which catapults brave riders from 0 to 80 mph in just over 2 seconds!
Have A Splashin’ Good Time At Soak City
The Knott’s Berry Farm water park, called Soak City, is a great place to cool off when it’s hot outside. This separately gated area of the park spans 15 acres and features tons of water rides for both kids and adults, like:
- The Wedge – a 750,000-gallon tidal wave pool
- Sunset River – a one-third mile lazy river
- The Beach House – a three-story structure featuring 200 water guns
- Shore Break – a 6-slide experience with 4 high-speed freefall waterslides and 2 dueling tube slides
- Gremmie Lagoon – a low-thrill, shallow-water play area for toddlers and babies
