Knott's Berry Farm

8039 Beach Blvd · Buena Park, CA

Why you should go…

What began in the 1920s as a roadside berry stand and chicken dinner restaurant grew into a full theme park built around a recreated 1880s Ghost Town. It's known today for its GhostRider wooden coaster and for the Mrs. Knott's fried chicken restaurant that started it all.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
