Knott's Berry Farm
One of the oldest theme parks in the United States, with a Wild West gold-rush town theme and several thrilling roller coasters.
Located in Buena Park, the park grew out of a berry farm from the 1920s. It is divided into areas such as Ghost Town, Boardwalk, and Camp Snoopy. Thrill rides include the GhostRider wooden roller coaster and Silver Bullet, and there is also a Snoopy-themed area for young children. The signature foods are fried chicken dinners and boysenberry pie. Tickets bought online are usually much cheaper than Disneyland, and discounts are common. It is about a 15-minute drive from Disneyland and about 40 minutes from downtown, so you can plan a full day here.
