I am a big fan of Knotts Berry Farm and always visit when I am in the area. I generally avoid the rides - never liked roller-coasters - but the shows are first rate. Always a pleasure to visit.

If you like roller coasters, go here. If you like mild/low roller coasters I would reccomend Disneyland. This was a very fun park for my teen, who went on many of the rides and thouroughly enjoyed them.

My kids love Knotts. Never have to wait in a long line, easy parking, very friendly staff. So much easier than going to Disneyland and less expensive. Better for older kids who have already "done" the Disney thing. I can't stand having to wait an hour for a 1 minute ride - that never happens at Knotts.

We go to Disneyland a couple times a year, but when we want a quick amusement park fix with less crowds and less cost, we go to Knott's Berry Farm. Good mix of rides for me (I like extreme rides), my wife (she likes the mid range thrills) and my young daughter who only likes the kiddie rides. Buy tickets... More

Knott's is a great park. The food is wonderful unlike a lot of theme parks and the staff is awesome. I love to wander around and shop or people watch. Knott's has great shopping with lots of unique items that aren't just junk souveniers. The ghost town has lot's of interesting things. Knott's isn't just a park full of coasters... More

Good day out in April. Fast rides, good choices. Better than Disney for older children. Friendly staff. Didn't really eat out here. Glad the prices are cheaper than Disney!

Our 5 and 2 year-olds had a great time at Knott's Berry Farm. There are tons of rides with a great mix for young and old alike. It's no Disneyland, but it is cheaper. We had fun!

When you want to wander around and spend the day browsing, riding rides, shopping, eating and discovering things about the old west this is the place. Short melodramas and singing acts in the saloon afford a break in the day as do watching glass blowing, being "robbed" on a train, spending time on thrill-seeking, death-defying rides and getting soaked on...

This is a fabulous place to go to with your friends and mates, it's so fun and great to bond here. It isn't as packed as some of the other theme parks in Socal may be
