Had a great time at Knott's Berry Farm with my family! We went on a pretty hot day, so we were…read moredefinitely prepared for the heat, but overall we had a really enjoyable experience. One thing that surprised me was that the wait times for the rides weren't as bad as I expected, especially considering how busy the park can get. We were able to get on quite a few rides without spending the entire day standing in line, which made the visit much more enjoyable. There's a good mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults, so everyone in the family was able to find something they enjoyed. We also loved walking around the park and taking in the atmosphere. Even with the heat, there were plenty of places to take a break and cool down. Overall, it was a fun family day and a great way to spend time together. The heat was probably the biggest challenge, but it didn't take away from the experience. We had a lot of fun and would definitely come back again!

If I could give no stars I would. We (AIE Tours at Knotts…read moreand I) have been in contact several times in the last 6 months, as I had tried to schedule bringing my senior citizens to Independence Hall for a visit. Initially I was told that they needed to pay a $55 park entry to have guided tours. That seemed silly for 85+ year olds since they would not be entering the park, so I was then told that self-guided tours were available. This is where it gets wonky. And where I'm honestly super angry. I scheduled for two of our communities to bring 23 people to Independence Hall for a self-guided tour yesterday (Thursday, September 10th). I contacted the tour department by phone on Wednesday, stating that I was bringing said seniors to an unguided tour the following day and asked if there was a better place for us to unload. We had a long conversation about where we could unload the residents that was closer to Independence Hall (BTW there is nothing for them). Imagine my frustration when we get to the parking lot and the attendant tell us that Independence Hall is closed for renovations (which apparently is not true). Are you freaking kidding me? We drove 45 minutes and my sister community drove even longer from RPV to come to see Independence Hall. Do you not think it would have been wise for the representative to let us know that it was closed? I researched it while I was having lunch with the residents at the at the restaurant. (Imagine driving 45 minutes just to eat lunch...) I could be wrong but NO WHERE on your site does it say that Independence Hall is closed. I finally googled it when I got back to work and found out from a 3rd party that this began September 2 and that going forward it is only open Saturdays and Sundays 'for budget reasons'. I have been an activity director at this high end community for 21 years. in that time, we have gone all over SoCAL from San Diego to Simi Valley and everywhere in between. I have NEVER has such a massive fail. You guys have screwed all of this up more than I can understand. We will not be back, and you just lost a long time fan of Knotts. Sidenote: Mrs. Knotts Chicken restaurant was delish and the staff was amazing. Still not worth 90 minutes round trip.

There's also a petting farm with goats and you can feed some of the animals too. The whole park is definitely doable in one day. Tickets are affordable at around 33 bucks, which covers all attractions in the park except the rock climbing wall and the arcade. Food is pretty typical amusement park pricing, and there's also a Starbucks and ice cream. Parking is free, which is a big plus. They also have picnic tables outside the entrance, and I believe the hand stamp they give you allows for same-day re-entry if you want to step out and come back. Overall it's a fun amusement park for the little ones!

Review #1010 2026-080…read more The Boardwalk Games & Arcade features different interactive games as well as an arcade with the latest & most popular games. The latter was reimagined in 02/2025 as The Factory Floor Arcade to feature a 1920s factory theme with 70 games & virtual reality attractions: Godzilla & Rilex Coaster. Players can redeem their winnings at the redemption counter that's stocked with prizes. The outdoor area is lined with traditional midway carnival games of skill & chance: 3-Point Challenge, Beach Ball Bust, Boardwalk Hoops, Bonkers, Dune Buggy Dash, Gearhead Knock Down, Hang Time Challenge, Hi-Striker, Ring Toss, Strike Out, Surf's Up, The Guessing Game (Knott's operator either guesses age or weight within a specific margin to win a prize), Woodstock's Birdbath (this is a "winner every time" game), etc. Both require additional fees from park admission. We rarely play at the Boardwalk Games & Arcade unless there's a collectible toy that caught our kids' eye. While it's a couple of dollars, it adds up due to the difficulty level, except Woodstock's Birdbath (but its prizes are less desirable), & the frustration of not winning anything after spending a lot of time & money. A $5 plushie might cost $50 after multiple failed attempts... yikes! We limited our kiddos to $20. One of the handful of times my eldest played, H won a Squishmallow at one of the booths on her 1st try! ^_^ Whoohoo! Recommended: If you're pretty skilled or just damn lucky, I'd say go for it!

If you are here and you are absolutely itching to play at an arcade, it's fine for what it is, but the ticket redemptions and the price per play is a big rip off. In addition, they have claw machines that are all set to such a low rate of winning that it's totally not worth it at all. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are really in an arcade mood, there are plenty of spots outside of the theme park that you can go to.

Designed by legendary theme park creator Wendell "Bud" Hurlbut, the slow-moving, 8-minute dark ride takes passengers on a steam train through a highly detailed, bustling western gold mine. It is celebrated for its mix of realism and wonder, featuring deep underground caverns, waterfalls, geysers, and vibrant glowing stalagmites. Award: Calico Mine Ride received the THEA Classic award in 1998. The award honors exemplary, timeless attractions that have operated continuously for over 20 years and set new industry standards. Background On Upgrade: In January 2014, the ride underwent a massive refurbishment in partnership with Garner Holt Productions. This extensive makeover restored the classic attraction to its former glory by adding over 50 new animatronic figures, new lighting, and enhanced audio while still honoring the attraction's original charm. For a full point-of-view experience that takes you on a tour through all of the ride's detailed, subterranean scenes and glowing caverns: Visitation Rights: Been on this rides countless of times. My heart can't take all these other fast rides no more. Wait Time: Wait time can be long due to having only one train operating. It's a oldie, but goodie. Just keep calm and go with the flow. Location: Located in the Ghost Town section. Ambiance/Decor: A slow moving classic dark ride with animations. It smelled really bad last time when we were in the waiting queue. We originally thought it was the person in front of us... then we started pointing fingers at each other. LoL Once we left the area, the smell was gone. :) Calico Mine For Thought: I wouldn't mind riding the ride again. Hopefully, the smell won't be there the next time we go.

And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT. This place really shines at night, when everything is lit up it is truly magical. One of the best in the nation, don't miss.

There were a few signs of aging around some of the cups and on some of the putting surfaces, but it is to be expected. I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained. (Since we were there for a benefit and didn't pay admission, I cannot comment on the pricing or the relative value.)

I would suggest that they offer more tubes There was a lot of people the day we visited and there were not enough tubes to accommodate. For the price of food, there should be lids and straws for the drinks. And the hot dogs should be prepared closer to the time of order rather than leaving then sitting under a heat lamp where the dogs and buns dry out. You can put the hot dogs and buns in a steamer which won't take long to warm. Or place the dogs in a hot water pot when ordered. People want fresh, good quality food for the price paid. Thanks.

We were able to get a decent deal with a grand bear suite, water park passes, kid wolf pass, and breakfast Buffett. They put a bracelet on you and that's all you need to get in room, water park, pay for food, gifts, snacks, etc. Nice not having to carry stuff. Room was clean, bed bug free (I check thoroughly), and the AC works well. We had a toilet that wouldn't flush they sent someone immediately, he used the room ice bucket to pour tap water into the back of tank which was odd to us but whatever we didn't plan on using it (we had a mini cooler with us). The indoor water park is super fun, bring goggles and eye drops because the chlorine is strong. Really strong!!! Lazy creek is the only ride that wasn't the clearest. Especially by the end of the day. Outdoor pool is lovely. Really refreshing. We were there during the week and it wasn't crowded at all. They have fun little kid activities afternoons and evenings. Food was great in the restaurant, pizza place, Buffett, and ice cream place. Free cups of ice water everywhere I asked for one. Mini golf was geared towards young kids(7 and under), adults don't waste your money. The kids enjoyed jungle climbing thing, and the obstacle course in the sky! It's a cashless resort but staff will accept cash tips if your service is exceptional and you feel generous. I'm not sure but I think tips are included with package deal at least they were with ours. The Fireside restaurant was good, however if you have dietary restrictions I wouldn't trust them, the chef came out discussed restriction with us, and when food came out and after asking confirming 3 separate times yes it was gluten free only to have the waiter come back to the table and take it away because it was not gluten free. Lucky for us our friend had only a small bite and knew it wasn't gluten free. They brought out another they assured us was but by that point we didn't trust. The pizza place and breakfast buffet were fabulous and were able to accommodate restriction easily. Arcade super fun ask the workers about deals they were pretty generous and we won a couple of jackpots! Great ticket/prize set up not like chuckechese nightmare! Lazer tag kids had fun. Parking is ridiculously expensive $35 a day self park even if you are staying overnight. Still super good time was had by all, and no one got sick so that's great!
