A little while ago we asked you, the fans, for some of your best tips for a Knott's Berry Farm first timer. Here are your top 10 "Park Hacks" for visiting Knott's Berry Farm. 

  1. Try something Boysenberry
    All Boysenberries in the world can trace their roots back to Knott’s Berry Farm making Knott’s the home of the Boysenberry. Fan favorites include boysenberry punch and boysenberry soft serve ice cream. 
  2. GhostRider first
    GhostRider is a very popular coaster and usually has the longest wait throughout the day, so get in line for that as soon as possible.
  3. Arrive Early!
    Beat the crowds. You can get several many big rides within the first hour of park opening. Knott's Berry Farm opens at 10am daily. Bouns Tip: Start at the back of the park. Many people start in Ghost Town or Camp Snoopy making the wait for the big rides on the Boardwalk (Xcelerator and Supreme Scream) pretty easy. 
  4. Dining Plans
    Dining Plans are an easy way to save and stay fueled for fun. The All-Day Dining gives you 1 meal every 90 minutes and you get to choose from multiple locations throughout the park.
  5. Souvenir Cups
    These cups offer free refills on the day of purchase. Definitely a great value.
  6. Make time to explore Ghost Town
    Ghost Town is filled with fun history tidbits along with some of the wildest western characters. From the catawampus to the Boothill Cemetery, there’s always something new to explore.
  7. Talk to Sad Eye Joe
    Sad Eye Joe is a horse thief who has been locked away in the Town Jail of Calico since the 1940s. Ask him a question or tell him about your day. He loves conversation. 
  8. Season Passes
    It’s a great value for the family with no blackout dates! Best time to purchase is November/December of the previous year. 
  9. Check out the Knott’s App!
    The Knott’s Berry Farm mobile app is filled with special savings and ride wait times and can be vital to planning out your day. The mobile app also has the entertainment schedule and park map. 
  10. Don’t forget Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant.
    End you day with the best chicken dinner that helped make Knott’s Berry Farm famous.
