  • AMAZING! Knott’s Berry Farm is a very fun place for the whole family!! This place has many different types of attractions, whether it’s intense rides, mellow rides, rides for young children, popcorn stands, restaurants, games, and so much more. The way the rides are there, people from ant age can find a ride that fits them and they can ride it and enjoy it. The food there is also very good, including restaurants such as Johnny Rockets and Panda Express, and there are many delicious desert places and candy shops. Overall a 10/10, highly recommended for anyone looking to have a fun filled time!!
  • Loved it, went during the boysenberry festival. There was so much to do. There were so many shops, and tons of new food items to try. Entire ghost town and many parts of the park are filled with gorgeous flowers and arrangements. Great for family pics. There's also a bunch of shows and activities going on for the festival. Workers are friendly and even give good advice on what to try or what times are best to avoid crowds. On Sunday after five the crowds died and it was so nice to see the different parts of the park all lit up. We really enjoyed our time and definitely got our steps in.
  • A great theme park! If you like well themed parks and interesting and different rides this is the park for you! Dark rides, Coasters, Flat Rides, Water Rides, Interesting and unique foods! Boysenberry flavored EVERYTHING. Can't wait until I get to go back and have more fun with friends! Oh and dont forget the chicken dinner! It's a ridiculous amount of food for the price!
  • A great alternative for families on a budget and who hate waiting in long lines. Less action then Disneyland that's for sure. No parades, no real fun atmosphere and no ongoing entertainment. Never saw Charlie Brown or Snoopy. No singers. No dancers. Didn't see any shows going on. The staff is definitely less friendly and actually saw a couple staff personnel yell at customers. I was actually shocked. Everything closes at 6pm and the park is very dark once the sun goes down -- awful night time lighting. Lots of unhealthy food options, which is a bummer. I'm giving them 4 stars based on the fact that it's way more affordable than their competitors and also for short wait times on most of their rides. But there is definitely room for improvement. Staff should be more friendly and professional and less condescending and rude to customers. They should have better healthy food choices. They definitely need better forms of entertainment. While waiting in lines all we could hear was boring outdated music from a distance. Should have a light show at night, which would also improve the awful nighttime lighting and increase sales. A Snoopy and gang musical parade, a fireworks show and dressing up the park with lights on trees are just some basic things that would elevate the park tremendously. The rides were fun, fairly short but some are scary in a good way. My personal fav was finding 4 beautiful baby pigs taking a nap in the barn area (see my photo). The funnel cake was really good and the BBQ Place was decent, loved their corn bread -- a bit pricey but good.
  • Location:Good, Parking:Okay, Cleanliness:Good, bathrooms: Decent, Trash monitoring: Okay, seating areas: Decent. Ride times: kinda fast. Holiday crowd: really decent. Food for price:high. Drinks: also high. Overall: for a 4th of July visit I was happy with the price at the window $99 for day. They did have a small military discount for up to 6 tickets($90 per ticket). It has been years but I was very happy with most of my experience. If I did not have to eat or drink it would of been a great day I found some of the food to be so basic and just lack any taste. The beer was truly the worst tasted in quite a long tme. I would like to see getting what you pay for when it comes to meals. Even the famous Chicken is not what is was to me from past meals. I do hope they can make some simple changes. Like nacho cheese Instead of shredded it did not melt right and was just not worth the money paid.
