Introduction

Knott's Berry Farm is one of California's oldest theme parks, originating in the 1920s as a berry farm and roadside restaurant run by Walter and Cordelia Knott, evolving in the 1940s into a full park combining roller coasters, shows, and Western atmosphere. The park is divided into themed areas: Ghost Town (Old West), Fiesta Village (Latin flair), Boardwalk (seaside amusement), Camp Snoopy (children's Peanuts zone), and Calico River Rapids. Signature rides include the suspended coaster X2, wooden coaster GhostRider, vertical-drop Supreme Scream, and classic Log Ride. Known for its "happy farm" philosophy, the park preserves authentic Western buildings and street entertainment traditions. The annual Boysenberry Festival celebrates the signature boysenberry that started it all, making this a value-friendly, family-oriented alternative to Disneyland in Los Angeles.
