Knott's Berry Farm
1 of 4
Coaster Conqueror
If you love the thrill of theme parks, you’re not here to sit on the sidelines. You’re here for the biggest drops, fastest launches, and corkscrew turns you can find. At Knott’s Berry Farm, take on Xcelerator, launching from 0 to 82 mph in just 2.3 seconds, newly reimagined MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress, which reaches 55 mph in three seconds, or GhostRider, the West Coast’s longest, tallest, and fastest wooden roller coaster. Then keep the thrills going at Disneyland, just 5 miles away.

I Break for Funnel Cake
You already know the best part of a vacation is deciding what to eat next. Treat yourself to whimsical character-themed desserts, cotton candy-wrapped ice cream, and extravagant 24K gold-topped scoops. Venture into Koreatown's vibrant 2.5-mile strip for sizzling tableside Korean BBQ, then savor the legendary fried chicken at Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Since you are in the birthplace of the boysenberry, no trip is complete without sampling the iconic boysenberry pie or fresh boysenberry funnel cake at Knott's Berry Farm.
Knott’s Soak City

Sunshine Seeker
Your perfect Buena Park day calls for sunshine, water, and a little time to unwind. Make a splash at Knott’s Soak City, a seasonal 15-acre water park with 23 slides, a 750,000-gallon wave pool, and a 1,700-foot lazy river. Race down 41-foot-tall Banzai Falls, take on 63-foot-tall Old Man Falls, and brace yourself for a possible wedgie along the way. When it is time to relax, kick back in a private cabana with poolside food delivery. Retreat to Buena Park hotel pools complete with a splash pad, rooftop view, and soothing whirlpools. You can also head down to nearby beaches that is 15 miles away.

Hidden Gem Hunter
You’re always looking for something different. Create your own signature scent with a perfume-making class, capture your getaway at Photogram OC, or step into Buena Park’s past at the free Buena Park Historic District, home to preserved buildings dating back to the 1800s. You can also visit Knott’s Independence Hall, a free, brick-by-brick replica of Philadelphia’s original Independence Hall.
Pirates Dinner Adventure
1 of 3
Nightlife Ninja
You believe dinner should come with a show. Become a Pirate Recruit at Pirates Dinner Adventure, where kids can join the crew and experience swashbuckling pirate action. Become a Knight Watcher at Medieval Times and cheer on knights as they battle in a live jousting tournament. Or put your detective skills to work as a Mystery Solver at the Speakeasy Murder Mystery Dinner Show, where you become part of the story. For a more laid-back night, enjoy frosty beers at Ins ICE Beer, chilled with 48-hour low-temperature ripening, or head to Rock & Brews for 40 beers on tap.

So, Which One Are You?
Maybe you’re a coaster conqueror by day and a snack chaser by afternoon. Or perhaps you’re a sunshine seeker who transforms into a nightlife ninja after dark. There’s no wrong answer in Buena Park. After action-packed days, unwind at one of Buena Park’s affordable and comfortable hotels offering resort-style amenities. Families can enjoy outdoor oasis featuring rooftop pool, splash pad for kids, cozy fire pits, relaxing loungers, and whirlpools. Many hotels also offer free hot breakfast, spacious suites, and complimentary shuttles to Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland for an easy and comfortable stay.
