One of the most popular destinations in Buena Park is Knott's Berry Farm. Knott's Berry Farm was America's first theme park. Originally a farm, the Knott's family started the Ghost Town section to entertain the guests that came to the nearby Chicken Dinner Restaurant. The rides and attractions became so popular that the amusement park soon overshadowed the farm. You can still buy jams and jellies there, but most visitors come for the amusement park. There are seven roller coasters in the park, and there are six themed areas. Children will enjoy Camp Snoopy, where they can interact with the Peanuts characters. The park is open every day except Christmas, so there is no off-season in Buena Park!
Right next to Knott's Berry Farm visitors can cool off in Soak City Orange County. The best water park in Buena Park, Soak City Orange County has eight main slides, with each one having multiple flumes that offer a different experience each time. There are three eating facilities and a surf shop as well. Soak City Orange County is open seasonally.
For a romantic, and fun, evening out in Buena Park, visit Medieval Times, where you can experience an authentic jousting tournament, eat medieval style food, and watch stunning Andalusian horses do their equestrian ballet. Guests step back in time to the 11th century where they are greeted by Princess Esperanza and her father, King Alfonso. Do not be surprised if you are not given any utensils to eat. In the Middle Ages silverware had not been invented!
The Pirate's Dinner Adventure is another thrilling dinner experience in Buena Park. It is one of the most unique dinner experiences in the world. Guests can watch special effects, swordfights, and aerial artists, all while experiencing a classic story of good versus evil. The show takes place on an authentic replica of an 18th century Spanish ship. The galleon is actually anchored on an indoor lagoon, adding to the authenticity of the experience. Some guests in the audience will actually be selected to play a role in the show!
