Yes it maybe small, but a pass here is only an additional $30 on top of a Knotts pass. I recommend coming early through the summer. Bring a change of clothes. Get chicken to go about 3:00 and finish your day at Knott's Berry Farm. It makes for a wonderful day.

My family and I have actually been here twice, the first trip was ok, the second is was really made me mad. The first time I took my kids I was able to use my military ID to get the discount, the second time they told me the sponsor had to be present in order to get the discount. I... More

We went to Knotts on Good Friday. It was very busy and we realized quickly that if we wanted to do anything but stand in line all day (some rides up to 2 hrs) that we should purchase the Fast Lane pass. There was no free option for this as at Disney. You had to purchase. Thankfully we had gotten... More

Knott's Berry Farm has always been one of my favourite theme parks. It's not as "magical" as Disney, but admission is 1/2 of what Disney charges,which is why we opted to come here instead. The rides are definitely more extreme than the rides at Disney, and I just love the old western town settings. The food is better than Disney... More

Although kept clean, this facility is a bit scary for me. Not unlike the water park out in San Dimas, I don't feel safe here, and I do not allow my kids to go without me. If they want the water park experience, I try to get them out to Soak City in Palm Springs.

Went back to Knotts Berry Farm after a 3 absense with the family. Knotts is still the best run park in southern California. They are very family orientated and keep the park very clean. The Wild West Show is still a crack up.

A small waterpark in the Disneyland area. No park maps available, but check online before visiting. Able to do all major rides in one day. Young children area optional. Big fun in a small package. Still not satisfied at the end of the day? Let's go again! Recommend going there more than once during summer season, especially if you can't... More

Soak City may not have as many different "rides" as other water parks in the area, but it's far less crowded and a lot of fun. They have a couple of areas that are especially good for little kids . . . plus they have the big slides for thrill seekers. Definitely recommended

This is not a place for rides and attractions. This is a place to have fun in the sun and water - adult of child. They are open well into the evening in the summer, so a person can come with family or not in the late afternoon and still have a great time for very little cash outlay. Kids... More
