Located in the heart of Buena Park, California, Knott’s Berry Farm is one of Orange County’s most historic and exciting attractions. Known for its thrilling rides, family-friendly shows, and delicious boysenberry-inspired treats, Knott’s has entertained visitors for nearly a century.
A Brief History of Knott’s Berry Farm
What started in the 1920s as a small berry stand run by Walter and Cordelia Knott has grown into a world-famous theme park. Cordelia’s fried chicken dinners became so popular that visitors would wait for hours to be seated, so Walter built Ghost Town, the first themed area of the park, to entertain them while they waited.
Today, Knott’s Berry Farm features more than 40 rides, including thrilling coasters like GhostRider and Silver Bullet, along with family attractions, water rides, and seasonal events such as Knott’s Scary Farm and Knott’s Merry Farm.
Knott’s Berry Farm and the Orange County Community
Knott’s is more than a theme park—it’s a cornerstone of Orange County culture and history. From school field trips and summer vacations to local charity partnerships, Knott’s continues to support and celebrate the community.
Just as The Orange Crew serves homeowners and businesses across the county, Knott’s Berry Farm brings together locals and visitors to experience the creativity and warmth that make Orange County special.
