    Whilst at Knott's Berry Farm, it should be a must to visit the Bird Cage Theater. It is true enjoyment to experience a Melodramatic performance in the style it was created. Performances never disappoint. I always try to b watch each season's new shows.

    A Christmas Carol

    After visiting Knott's Berry Farm so many times over all these years, I never really realized they actually had live performances in this little theatre. I first ventured into the theatre with Chel R. to watch live performance of A Christmas Carol around the holidays. During my last visit, I took the kiddies to watch Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies. This is a cozy venue that offers short performances (maybe half hour shows on average). There is a small marquee outside the theatre that advertises whatever show is currently playing and the times of the performances. It is a great place to rest your tired feet for awhile and be entertained. It's really charming that they put so much time and thought into live performances. Watching the performers, it is obvious the passion they have for their trade. Each show I watched was entertaining and enjoyable. I loved that Scrooge is still relevant and being performed. It's a great story that we call can still learn from. I was shocked that Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies had such a following. They had loyal fans and groupies! One person in the audience actually made clothing and accessories for stuffed animals to represent each band member and placed it on the stage. It was an great performance. Who knew all those different genres of music could be played as bluegrass music? If I was a tourist with limited time, I might focus on the rides and different venues of the park. Knowing we usually go once a year or so, this is something I will definitely check out again. If I want to take it slow and savor the history and nostalgia of the ghost town at Knott's, this is a great place to check out.

    Located within Knotts Berry Farm this little theater performs short plays (usually around 30 minutes) and is free with park admission. It's known as the place where comedian/actor Steve Martin started his career as a young man. Check the daily park performance schedules for showtimes and what play is being presented. Or listen for the barker shouting and the pipe organ playing at the edge of Ghost Town encouraging people to come see the show. The acting is of professional caliber but the production was local community theater level. Sets were bare minimum; it felt like a play you might see in 1890 which is fitting for a theater in Ghost Town. I watched A Christmas Carol and actually enjoyed it very much although they really had to change the story (only one spirit!) in order for it to be told in half an hour. The writing needed to amend the story was often creative and humorous. The cast comes outside the theater to pose for photos with guests after the show which I thought was cool.

    My daughter, her friend and I, visited Knott's today. We realized they were calling people in last minute before closing the doors. We found some seats (they're all pretty good) and were eager to watch A Christmas Carol. The play was just the right length. Not too long, but not short either, as is typical with some rides. It may not be suitable for young squirmy children. The actors did a fabulous job. Their costumes were chosen well, their accents spot on, the lighting and sound on point, storyline done well, and more. The audience all seemed to enjoy it. This could have easily cost $40+ elsewhere. What a lovely treat, especially on a day where the temps were over 90. Well done.

    The act was good but the conditions inside were very hot and still air. Think about investing in a huge fan or sump cooler.

    My husband and I got married at city hall and hosted our intimate celebration lunch here with about…read more40 of my close family members. Nellie, the owner, was great to work with. We did a tour and loved the venue. Our event was mostly DIY which required us to maintain communication with Nellie to make sure we had everything we needed for decor and set-up. She also provided us with a great vendor list which we used to book our catering and bartender. The event was perfect, everyone enjoyed themselves and it was exactly how we pictured. Nellie was there on the day-of for guidance and additional assistance. I would definitely choose to plan another event here if the opportunity arises. The venue is clean and beautiful but Nellie's professional and kind service was the cherry on top.

    Came back here to host my own event for my friends bridal shower: and this place was perfect!…read moreNellie was so helpful, and responded in a timely manner, all while being very well organized in. having tables and chair setup for my event. A few notes for future clients: -Must have liability insurance for you event -Alcohol can be served here but must be served by a bartender -Any vendors you bring in must also have their own liability insurance -Bathrooms inside are very clean and private (Huge plus) Hope this helps in your planning process when choosing a venue to host your event. Overall, this space can be transformed into anything, and gives such a special feel: perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, or even a micro-wedding reception! Highly recommend this place!

    They truly give you freedom of creativity! For my drinkers, alcohol was allowed with no bartender…read moreneeded which was a huge plus in our family. They allowed a mini jumper and soft play indoors. They provided tables, linen, and a Bluetooth speaker with a microphone! TWO BATHROOMS with one changing table for babies, that was also a plus! AC felt soo nice and was soo cooling! It was such an easy check in and check out! I was so impressed of how easy it was to host. There was a helper outside to attend parking for our guests, which was nice! I had Zero issues and I have Zero complaints! 10000000/10!!

    I attended a birthday event here 12/27/24…read more The venue was not well labeled and the building seemed small. From the outside, it looked like a dentist. Very little parking and the back leads into an alley way. There was a lot of guests so we were told to park in the residential area which had sketchy surroundings when walking back towards the event space. When we entered the space, it felt like an open layout house. Fairly modern design. Useful space. Two restrooms for guests. There was a small connecting area with a fridge for storage. The next room over was perfect for a small play bouncer. No kitchen area. The catering company all had to set up outside in the already limited parking lot area. The pavement was in ruin. Needs to be replaced. The AC was very cold on a 67 degree day. Two stars docked for the limited parking. inconvenience and the odd location in a commercial/residential zoned area.
