Took the family there after Disney and California Adventure. So maybe the comparison is not fair. Standard amusement park rides and roller coasters. The water ride there is not that great. The park is somewhat dirty as are the bathrooms. Food is typical fast food. One good thing was the lines were much shorter than the other parks. Also we... More

Been twenty years since I've visited Knott's and I wasn't that impressed sadly due to the fact Xcelerator, Montezuma's revenge and Wind seeker weren't working.Other then that it it was still a a good time.

we went to Knott's Berry Farm on a saturday, so we expected the parks to be busy. After going to Disneyland and Universal Studios on previous visits and having an amazing time, we hoped that Knotts Berry farm would give us the same experience. Sadly, we were very wrong. Approching the park was difficult as was hard to find the... More

If you want to experience a good country meal, eat at the restaurant. The fried chicken and biscuits are to die for. The park is Blah!!! I only go for the restaurant food.

My partner had NEVER been on a roller coaster and we were visiting So California. Knotts has 8 of them. I think we were too early in the season because two of them were down for maintenance. So one of the largest wood roller coasters reside here. It was the first one I took him on. I think he was... More

As prices at neighboring parks have skyrocketed, Knott's remains a very affordable option. It's not as nice as a result, but we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. We went on a weekday to help reduce the crowds and were on most rides within 15 mins. We had two waits that were roughly 45 mins so it wasn't... More

The best I could say about Knott's Berry Farm is its cleanliness. There are many employees sweeping up with brooms everywhere. Its a very pale imitation of Disneyland, though much more affordable. Teenagers love it (mine). If you go get a FAST PASS, it made a barely tolerable visit, quite tolerable. The passes are like magic. Knox has them enter... More

We visited on a weekday while school was still in, so the park was not crowded. The park featured great rides and attractions. We were able to go on some rides over and over again with no long wait. The staff seemed helpful and friendly. We even got to meet and take pictures with Snoopy!

On spending 4 weeks in the USA from Australia we had time to do all 5 LA based theme parks and finished off with Knotts. Although the feel of the place is good and they have much better thrill rides than Disney, I was disappointed by a few things. Firstly like Six Flags, you can save a good 30%off a... More

Knott's has rides for the whole family and has come a long way to compete with Disneyland. The food is priced to high, but the rides are pretty good now.
