We had a fabulous time at Knott's Berry Farm. We are seasoned ticket holders. Lots of fun rides and great food. It's very well maintained. The workers are very nice and friendly. My grandkids love when they see Charlie Brown and Snoopy & all their friends. Everyone had a really great time. Prices are reasonable and it is definitely a go to place for a fun weekend.

Ghost rider and silver bullet lines were an hour and it was torture, but all the other rides weren't bad. We went on a Thursday and it was pretty packed. Next time we go we'll have fast passes for all the rides. The prices are too good not to.

Definitely get a Fast Lane pass and it'll save you some time. The rides here are great and I thought it was going to be lame. But I had a blast. Definitely get on Hang Time and sit in the front and put your hands up. Xcelerator is definitely a great ride too. A fun day all in all. I don't eat amusement park food, but buying a food plan is worth it.

The only reason it's not five stars is I feel they need to work hard on getting the gum sticking on rocks/walls and the people (youth) that cut in line handled... Other than that, Knott's is still one of the best places to get away for a day or two and have fun, remember the classic days of the Snoopy/Penuts era while getting thrills, shows, adventure, and good food with family and friends. The ride waits sometimes were none and sometimes they were over an hour, it depended on where all the field trip kids were and then later in the evening it's cleared out more and it's so fun I wish they had been open till at least 9:00 p.m. the only were open till 8:00 p.m. and we would have bought more food :-)

My favorite Southern California theme park! Knott’s does an excellent job keeping things fresh throughout the year with special events like the Boysenberry Festival and seasonal celebrations such as Knott’s Scary Farm and Knott’s Merry Farm. During these events, the entire park is transformed with themed decorations, entertainment, food, and experiences that make you feel completely immersed in the occasion. While you're there, be sure to stop by Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant and try their famous boysenberry pie—it's a must-have and a true park classic.
