Knott's Berry Farm
Knott's Berry Farm is a 57-acre (23 ha) amusement park in Buena Park, California, United States. Owned and operated by Six Flags, the park officially opened as Knott's Berry Farm in 1947. Since 2016, it has averaged more than 4 million visitors per year, ranking it among the most-visited amusement parks in North America. The park features over 40 rides and attractions, including ten roller coasters. Walter Knott and family first settled in Buena Park in December 15, 1920. The park began as a roadside berry stand along State Route 39 in California and with Jim Preston as a partner. The partnership broke up in 1927. Walter Knott built a permanent 80-foot stucco building in 1928 which houses a plant nursery, a berry market and a small tea room (later Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant). A replica ghost town opened in July 17, 1941, as the site began to transition toward becoming an amusement park, later featuring a restaurant, several shops, and other attractions to accommodate a growing number of visitors. The park officially renamed as Knott's Berry Farm in August 28, 1947. The site continued its transformation into a modern amusement park over the next two decades, and an admission charge was added in 1968. In 1997, the park was sold for $300 million to Cedar Fair, which later merged with Six Flags in 2024.
