What started out as a berry stand in the 1920s has evolved into a world-class theme park and water park, with festivals and events year round.

No trip to Southern California is complete without a visit to Knott’s Berry Farm, where the fun is harvested daily. Go on heart-pumping rides, see live entertainment and join in one of the exciting events.

Conquer your fears on thrill rides such as HangTime, the first dive coaster in California, the suspended coaster, Silver Bullet, and Xcelerator, which will take you from 0 to 82 mph (132 kph) in 2.2 seconds. Stroll back in time at Ghost Town Alive, complete with bandits, cowboys and a good ol’ western hoedown.

The younger set can head over to Camp Snoopy, where there are pint-sized thrills like Lucy’s Tugboat and Charlie Brown’s Speedway. Meet Snoopy and the whole PEANUTS gang in live performances at the Camp Snoopy Theatre.

Knott’s Berry Farm has special events and entertainment all year long. Come for Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration when the PEANUTS characters take over the entire theme park it’s like stepping inside the pages of a Charles M. Schulz comic.

Celebrate Knott’s agricultural roots during the Boysenberry Festival every spring. This celebration of food and live entertainment includes boysenberry-inspired food and drinks, interactive shows and dance parties for the entire family.

In May, Knott’s Soak City opens offering 23 speed, tube and body slides along with interactive thrills and spills designed for maximum family appeal. If relaxation is more your speed, float the day away on Sunset River.

Weekends in October mean the return of Knott’s Spooky Farm, the celebration of Halloween cheer rather than fear, all included with theme park admission. Knott’s Scary Farm is the largest Halloween experience in Southern California, with haunted attractions and more than 1,000 monsters roaming the park.

As the calendar turns toward a new year, Knott’s Merry Farm is the perfect place to make holiday memories. The Calico Tree lighting, holiday music and snow gently falling on the streets of Ghost Town make for a shopping wonderland in the Christmas Craft Village. Ring in the New Year with spectacular fireworks displays.

Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak City are located in Buena Park. Operating hours vary throughout the year, so check the website before planning your day.
