Knott’s Berry Farm

What started as a berry farm in 1920 by Walter and Cordelia Knott, Knott’s Berry Farm has grown to over 160 acres of daring thrill rides, water rides, and for the littlest theme park adventurer, Camp Snoopy. The original Ghost Town built by Walter Knott back in 1940 is still in existence and features a real wild-west shoot-out and stunt show. Make sure to catch a ride on Ghost Rider, the longest, tallest, fastest wooden roller coaster in the West!
