Knott's Berry Farm

BUENA PARK. Billed as America's first theme park, this complex features 150 acres of thrill rides, live entertainment, historic exhibits, and world-class dining, all divided into six themed areas. Among them are Ghost Town – an 1880s Western boom town with cowboys, gun fights, stagecoaches and gold panning – and Boardwalk, a coastal amusement park of the 1920s. Wild Water Wilderness and Camp Snoopy are children's favorites. You'll also want to see the full-size replica of Independence Hall or hear a major performer at the Good Time Theatre.
