I'm from needles. I went their this year and hated it. You have to pay with a card. I love the chicken soup at Grandma's Knotts, but it was awful. It tasted old, like real old 😖 never going again until they get rid of their commie way of doing things.

Buena Park born and raised, very nice video Chris ..! Love Knott's, so many memories growing up, I lived off of ... Knott Avenue ..! Boysenberry Punch, Pie, Chicken Dinner ..! Yum! When I was little, there was no fence around the park, that came around in the early 70s ... They also use to have former San Francisco Cable Cars ... And across Beach Blvd where there is just parking they use to have the pond with row boats and paddle boays , a merry go round and the small train that you rode in Camp Snoopy ... I love my childhood ... Again, thanks for the great video and memories, Chris ...

When I was in the 6th grade, my class stayed at a camp for a week called Camp Waskowitz. We panned for gold there too! The "gold" was either fake gold flakes or gravel pieces painted gold if I remember correctly. But of course as a kid, I thought it was real lol.

A fav place my grandparents would take us. They had a really cool steam train you could ride. Real blast from the past! Now the adult me wants to go back to Knott’s, ride those coasters, and eat all the things. Thanks for the fun tour!

I remember the horse ride and Sad Eye Joe and this video really brought back memories. I hope to visit Knott's Berry Farm again in the future. It's amazing to know that this was a berry farm selling pies before it was a theme park. I'm amazed to know that there is no reservation system to get into Knott's and that's incredible. Thank you as always for bringing me great content, huge fan as always!

Anything Boysenberry is GREAT! I had a Snoopy electric toothbrush as a kid & Charlie brown alarm clock that said he was allergic to morning! My 1st ride on one like Montezuma's was in Houston. I screamed like a girl during launch, loop butter smooth, left stomach @ the top of 1st hill. Best ride EVER though (also 1st time ride @ night no glasses!) Yes! The theming of the park is lovingly done. A visit is like putting on a favorite old pair of house shoes. When I go to Disneyland, Knott's is always a MUST as well. I'm ready for some chicken too.

I recently went to both Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. I have got to say I had way more fun at Knott’s Berry Farm. I had the fast pass and it was amazing you could completely skip the line and go on way more rides then if you had to wait in line. I can’t say the same for the genie pass at Disneyland I did go on a buddy day but lines were outrageous to get food you needed to wait 30 min and don’t get me started with finding a table that had rain cover or a table at all. I personally didn’t see any Disney characters but I wasn’t personally looking. My sister was and she brought this book that my mom had when she was a kid and didn’t want to spend her day waiting in line. At Disney land the lines were horrible. But Knott’s Berry farm is so much fun and if I ever get to go back to California I will be going back also the never go hungry thing was great but we maid the mistake of getting the never go hungry and the food premium and that was way to much food.

I also learned that I don’t do well on roller coasters at Knott’s. A trip on Montazoomas Revenge, followed by the Corkscrew (removed) and I had to sit down for 30 minutes. It’s only gotten worse as I got older. I miss Knott’s and Disneyland, I’ll get back someday.

They were on a stage and we were all outside watching the show. My mom liked it much more than Disneyland. We went to Knott's Berry farm before ever seeing Disneyland.
