    My wife and I finally decided to use our annual passes for admission and food memberships by meeting another couple in the park for dinner. We agreed to try the fish tacos in the Fiesta area of the park. Walking through the park on a late July evening offered visitors a bit of controlled chaos as the park was crowded but fun and lively. Daytime in Southern California on this scorching day was between 100 and 104 degrees, and as a result, many people waited until the temperature cooled a bit before visiting the park. This was evident in the many guests entering the park when we arrived at seven pm. The park is always fun and full of energy; at night, with all the multicolored lights on and bands playing live music in various areas, it is a hub of laughter and good times. Visitors could be seen dancing to a band performing Latin music, another playing classic rock hits, while others screamed as they rode the many thrill rides. The park is extremely well maintained and organized. Employees are very helpful and friendly, and they go out of their way to make each visitor's experience in the park a positive one. My family and I enjoy visiting this amusement park, and we will definitely be returning very soon.

    I hadn't been to Knott's Berry Farm in a long time. My family and I went on the weekend of 4th of July. We were expecting it to be busy because of the holiday. We went early when the park first opened which gave us time to get in a few rides before more of the crowds started showing up. The lines were not too long at all. The longest lines we encountered were the Calico River Rapids and GhostRider. I still didn't feel like the line was too crazy of a wait though. I was expecting to only get to ride a couple rides and we ended up riding a lot more! When we arrived we also decided to get lunch early because the lines seemed a little long. It was a good idea because the lines just got longer. The Summer Nights Market was also happening and since we stayed at the hotel we had a tasting card. Some of the meals were pretty good but there was one that was disappointing and that was the bbq pork bahn mi. It was super cold and the bread tasted stale. Other than that everything else we tasted was decent.

    I love Knott's Berry Farm. I'm into the Knott's Scary Farm more than the regular season. It's rare to see me out in the daylight lol Really though, I have an allergy to the sun and it's hard to do anything outdoors. I'm thankful that Knott's allows umbrellas, because I would not be able to go to the park without that. I bring my umbrella, hat and sunglasses plus a bucket of sunblock everywhere I go lolol This time, I went to Knott's with my husband and two of my friends. My two friends live in Oregon and they drove down to do Knott's Berry Farm with us. We were disappointed overall because many of the roller coasters have weight and height requirements that made it hard for us to get on any rides. We are American sized people that like to eat lol Only 2 out of 4 of us could get on Ghost Rider. None of us could get on most of the rides. We were able to get on the Calico Rapids together- the only ride all 4 of us could do lol That was disappointing. The funnel cake was great, per usual. Overall, we left Knott's feeling like we all needed to go on a diet lol

    Stopped by on Saturday, 7/4/26 with my boyfriend to celebrate the 4th of July! We bought the all-day dining pass (originally $35 however there is a July special where you can get 2 passes for $50!). We used one of our passes and got so many meals! I also brought some containers to bring the meals to go since it was too much! It wasn't too crowded that day. I also got a BIG TORCHIC PLUSHY at the Boardwalk! We needed 3 players to play in order to win that, but my boyfriend ended up paying for 3 players ($30) and only the both of us played. My favorite pokemon.

    Met up with a group of friends for a bday celebration. Hadn't been to Knotts in maybe 8-10 years. I purchased one all day wristband with fast lane and another all day wristband with unlimited fountain drink refills every 15 min. That was a great value. Parking is $40. Weather was nice. Had a great time with my friends. Happy with the decision that was made to come to Knotts.

    Knotts Berry Farm Buena Park, CA Current Gold pass member and reoccurring Knotts go-er Knotts Berry Farm is where I went for my first date with my partner and it is our anniversary tradition to go every year Date went 7/3/26 from 10:00am to 5:00pm First half of the day was empty Second half of the day was packed (longest wait time for a ride 45 minutes) +'s (positives): - You get your money's worth from buying a pass and there's no blackout dates - Went on almost every single ride in the park in a single day and left 3 hours before park closing - Great mixture of rides for adults, teens, and children - Most wait times for the rides we went on were about 15/20 minutes - I only purchase one item food from the park every time I go; the BOYSENBERRY CHURRO SUNDAE, IT IS A MUST -'s (negatives): - Parking is $40 and they no longer take cash - The shops have remained relatively same in regards to inventory over the course of YEARS. Please incorporate small businesses or small creatives that can create unique knotts merch you can sell in shops. Do a seasonal competition for best designs for marketing via Instagram and X (Twitter), you could be bringing in so much more revenue !!! (Ex. Trader Joe's bags with limited drops but Knotts edition in collaboration with big/small artists) - Knotts please add more shaded canopies above your lines and add fans!!! - There's only one bathroom I like to go to in the whole park because it's not crowded and relatively clean every time I use it - I don't like to purchase actual food from knotts due to taste preferences and price. Knotts needs to up their food game like Disneyland The positives outweigh the negatives, buy a Knotts pass over a single day ticket! It's worth it!

    Got to sit in the front row of ghost rider today, totally fun! You anticipate every drop and curve which actually enhances the thrill rather than diminishing it. The line was over two hours long and we saw a group of teens cooperating to put together a Lego project--a bold move if you ask me...weren't they afraid of losing pieces? We also got fried chicken meals on the way out (Chicken to Go across from the Peanuts headquarters and next to the Knotts bakery on the way to the parking lot). Not a bad deal with 3 pcs chicken, biscuits and jam, mashed potatoes with gravy and one more side. The biscuits were fresh out of the oven! Less expensive than meals inside the park.

    Always a great time here. This year I got season passes for me and my son so we can visit more often. This place is so beautiful. Flowers everywhere , waterfalls , fun rides, stores and eateries. Love love the boysenberry soft serve here. A must. Also the food is pretty good too except Panda Express. lol Lots of fun all day long.

    I went to Knotts Berry Farm and it is the best amusement park I've ever been to there Mrs Knotts chicken dinner restaurant in the Knotts Berry Farm marketplace and a candy shop. And there was a dark water ride called Timber mountain log ride it is the best water ride ever but sometimes it's not working enjoy your day at Knotts Berry farm .

    I recently visited Knott's Berry Farm with my 15-year-old niece for a fun auntie-and-niece day, and overall we had a good time. The park has plenty to do, and we especially enjoyed treating ourselves to the funnel cake topped with vanilla ice cream and strawberries--it was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of our visit. My biggest complaint is the wait times. We waited about two and a half hours for GhostRider, which felt excessive. I understand that weekends are busy, but it's hard to justify spending over $100 for admission and then being asked to pay an additional $50-$70 for a Fast Lane pass. While we still enjoyed our day together, the long lines make it difficult to visit often. That said, if you're patient and there to make memories with family or friends, you can still have a great time.

    I'll start with some words about Knott's in general, then comment on the Ghost Town Grill. Knott's isn't tops among amusement park park experiences. Shows are extremely limited except during the busiest seasons, and some things look tired. That said, it's priced accordingly--much less expensive than other venues, and season passes are a steal if you'll go more than once. And "in season," there's much more going on, though of course more crowd. It's still a fun experience, Ghost Town is unique and somewhat educational with a real one-room schoolhouse and docent and and a nearly 200-year-old train (complete with train robbers). You can even ride a real stagecoach around the back sides of the park, though it seats only about 11 at a time so the wait can be long. I have many happy memories from a long lifetime of visiting, with Ghost Town being the original area of the park. And of course there are other themed areas--1920s era boardwalk, fiesta village, and kid-friendly Camp Snoopy. Shows are fun too, when you can catch them. Krazy Kirk and his gang are humorous, especially for the older crowd. The show on the big stage can be quite impressive. They may have discontinued the saloon show, but if it's still available during busy seasons, it's also enjoyable. On to the grill, one of my favorite spots. Inside, the kitchen sits behind a covered wagon front, giving kids something to look at. If you're fortunate enough to snag a spot on the front porch on a nice day, you can enjoy watching the park-goers walk by and possibly hear the ring of the blacksmith's hammer. In busier seasons, you might catch the old-time Christmas carolers or see a Wild West sheriff confronting some troublemakers during your meal. Grill food is good. We had a salmon burger, shrimp salad, and salmon salad. All were reasonably priced, fresh, and generous. But watch out for the beer and wine prices. They're almost as high as a meal! Knott's isn't, well, you know...that other big place down the road. But it's much less expensive and still a great option for families and anyone who just wants a pleasant day.

    Churro Sundae at Ghost Town | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    Knott's is a great alternative to Disneyland in terms of cost and accessibility. We bought two annual passes so now we're trying our best to use them. It feels like most of their rides are fast and scary like Hangtime, Xcelerator, Supreme Scream. I'm not a huge fan of these rides just because of the scary drops. I'm OK with speed but just don't drop or loop me. LOL. I wish they had more relaxing rides like Disney, ie. Pirates, Haunted Mansion, etc. Sometimes you just wanna sit back, relax, look at cute things after a long week. Not everything has to be extreme. The Log ride was kinda like that but it looks like they didn't try very hard to build it out more. The Pony Express was interesting. I've never sat in a horse riding position like that before so that was fun. However, the ride was super short. Like a minute! Definitely not worth the long wait. Enjoyed a churro sundae at Ghost Town. It was good overall, but the churros were a little bit thick and doughy. Definitely a fun family friendly place that I'll come back to.

    Back again for boysenberry festival and had an amazing time. If there's one time of the year year for those that are coming from out of town, it's definitely during the festival. It's so cool to see what's knotts is about and the colors of purple everywhere you walk. They seem to always do the boysenberry lemonade right, cause that thing is soooo good. As for food this year, the boysenberry chili cheese fries was a hit with our party!

    See all
