Knott's Berry Farm
Buena Park, California
Knott’s Theme Park - Entertainment and attractions that delight, entertain, inspire and fascinate all year long. From world-class roller coasters to operating antiques and World Famous Eats and Treats, Knott’s rides and attractions are something extra special for the whole family. When coaster enthusiasts talk about the country’s best coasters, the subject invariably turns to Knott’s spectacular GhostRider®. The 4,533-foot wooden wonder opened in December 1998 and quickly jumped to the top of roller coaster enthusiasts’ “best ride” lists.
Back in 1920, the married couple of Walter and Cordelia Knott moved to Buena Park to farm 20 acres of rented land. However, today 20 acres is a part of the 160 acres that makes up Knott's Berry Farm.
While other farmers had trouble getting plants to grow, Walter had a green thumb, turning everything into a healthy plant, especially raspberry, boysenberry, and blackberry crops. Several years after setting up the farm, the Ghost Town was built where people could come to eat.
Then by the 1960s, other attractions were built to include the Timber Mountain Log and Calico Mine Ride. Following were the Fiesta Village and then the Roaring 20s, featuring the Corkscrew, the first looping roller coaster in the world.
By 1983, the amusement park was introduced along with Camp Snoopy, the first theme park designed specifically for children, the first of its kind in the world. Wild Water Wilderness came in 1988, which is a four-acre outdoor river wilderness.
Today, Knott's Berry Farm remains a premier, family vacation destination that the entire family will love!
