Touchdown in Buena Park: Your NFL Weekend Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive & Get Into Game-Day Mode: Start by checking into one of Buena Park’s over a dozen comfortable and affordable hotels. Many offer perks like rooftop pool, free hot breakfast, spacious suites, complimentary shuttle service to theme parks including Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland. Once you’re settled in, get your adrenaline going at Knott’s Berry Farm, where thrill seekers can take on coasters and rides before settling into the rest of the weekend. Recently reopened, the reimagined MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress launches riders from 0 to 55 mph in just four seconds. While you’re there, taste a little Buena Park history with boysenberry treats throughout the park, including boysenberry pie, cream soda, and a boysenberry margarita flight. After all, Buena Park is the birthplace of the boysenberry. After the thrills, keep the energy going at Rock & Brews, where American comfort food, a rock-and-roll atmosphere, and more than 40 beers on tap set the stage for a lively evening.

Day 3: Explore More of Buena Park: There’s more to Buena Park than game day. Spend your final day exploring the city’s 2.5-mile Koreatown, home to more than 90 Korean restaurants serving everything from Korean BBQ to late-night favorites. For dinner and entertainment, choose from three dinner shows. Keep the competitive spirit going at HAX Indoor Batting Cages, where you can step up to the plate, or head to Beom Golf for golf simulator fun. Just 5 miles from Buena Park, K1 Speed offers high-speed electric go-kart racing, while Flightdeck puts you in the cockpit with immersive fighter jet and commercial airliner flight simulators. For a change of pace, head to Huntington Beach, just 15 miles away, for surfing, checking out the pier, or grabbing a drink by the water.
