I actually had fun with it being my first time at Knottsberry. I really enjoyed the water rides (Calico Rapids and the Log Ride). The mine cart ride was slower and less thrilling than I thought and Jaguar was a little bumpy, but still fun and we enjoyed the arcade games. I'm only saying 4 out of 5 because I wish there was more variety with the arcade games and there were some rides that didn't have a lot of leg room for tall people (aka my husband). We both agreed we had fun though.

Visited with teenage kids (13 & 19) on a week day just after the schools went back and found the park to be much quieter than expected. It was almost deserted in the morning but gradually getting a little busier as the day went on. Longest queue time was just over 90 minutes - kids did 19 rides in one day. It was much quieter than Disney (2 days earlier) with better rides for older kids and better grab and go food options. The refillable drinks options proved to be a choice as the day was quite hot.

Spent a Friday at Knotts in August for Summer Nights with my season pass I have only had chance to use a couple times but it's still well worth it if your going more than once during the year. The thing that I wish is I presumed lines would be long and got the Fast Lane... well most of the day till evening on this Friday there were no lines. It added a lot of cost for no real real turn, so be wary of it sometimes. Especially if you only intend on riding your favorites and not repeating them as is usually the case with me. I just don't like lines that much either. I wish they had a limited version of Fast Lane for a certain number of rides for the day. I know that a single fast lane ride exists now but other than as part of a package not sure how you get that. But, most people want more than one ride. The summer Nights food deal was really good though, you got six items from a long list of restaurants and it probably would of been good to get one package for two people because for one person it was a lot of food in the evening and didn't make one want to go on any raucous ride really lol. I'm still sad that a few of the things like the northwest ghost Native American experience (sorry forget the official name) sits empty and silent with just a gift shop and sad that the old west theater doesn't seem to get much use. And the theatre where Snoopy holiday ice show is done seems not to be used that much during the rest of the year. I like the new Fiesta area and Western town area is still my favourite. Overall , Knotts is still a wonderful fun way to spend a day or part of a day.

We decided to visit knotts last minute in Labor Day with our 3 yr old daughter. We had an awesome time & found it incredibly clean plus it offers far healthier / higher quality food options than Disney land, which imo has become so unhealthy & low quality. With small kids it’s very manageable & there are plenty of rides for them to enjoy! Everyone working there was really nice & helpful! We were very impressed & also appreciated the value for cost of tix. If you go on a busy day the fast lane pass makes a huge difference if you want to ride any larger rides & roller coasters. Thx knotts for keeping your park up so well & bring so authentic.

I grew up with Knott’s Berry Farm. My Dad was actually a “Depression Kid” & worked on the Berry Farm. Through the years the park has truly evolved. There are more rides & the Park is celebrating 50 years of Knott’s Scary Farm. Stop by the museum/store it is GREAT!!! Get ready for a 50th year Scarefest!🎃🤡☠️👻!

Some good thrill rides and funky (but good) older attractions. Staff does the minimum possible so don't expect any help or service. Very crowded on weekends, empty during the weekdays. If you will go more than once, the annual pass is an exceptional value.

We had to choose between doing Disney on an off day or Knott's, and we picked Disney California Adventures. I don't know if that was a mistake, but we certainly felt it on a holiday Friday being in endless lines everywhere. There are certain lines that you can handle waiting it because you are always moving, like the river rafts. You also have an entertaining line since you can see people going by on the rafts. On the other hand, the Xcellerator was hell on earth. We had a 150 minute wait and all you have to look at is a line of people packed in like cattle with a 24 person cart going by every few minutes. Kids actually gave up and we left the line and the park to go get lunch, since the lunch lines themselves were an hour long. The rides we did get on were great, but we only made it on 5 in a day. When a fast pass costs an additional $100 a day, that is not worth the time or the money. I had fond memories of Knott's from being a kid and wanted my kids to like it. They ended up a bit happy but more frustrated than anything. There truly is an art to how Disney gets you to enjoy waiting (at least more than here). Now, if the other reviews are true on getting here on a weekday (non-holiday) and having free run of the park, I am sure my kids would have loved every minute of it as the are getting too old for Disneyland rides.

Knotts is still a warm and welcoming place to have a great time with the family. Twice on our visit, staff members were very kind and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Great selection of rides of all intensities. Themed areas are fun and immersive, especially the ghost town, with authentic old west structures. The Fiesta Village had pozole on the menu for the winter season. Really couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to the team at Knotts.

People swear about how horrible their experience was. Yes, there’s lines and with that a wait time. However the park offers many other attractions and shows. It’s historical and fun to experience. Best of all they are reasonably priced not like other theme parks that make it impossible to afford. If you don’t want to spend 1k for tickets and have a great time get the season passes. For a family of 5 I’m paying under $40 a month and that way I don’t feel rushed about how many rides we get to go on. Knotts is overall fun for the family. My child and teens enjoy it each and every time we visit.

Don’t even bother going without a fast pass, which doubles your cost, even with a family dining plan. We were the first people in line after a ride reopened and they have let every fast pass holder in front of us for 45 minutes now. Crappy customer service.
