Knott's Berry Farm hardly had a very good start. Arriving in Southern California in the 1920s, the Knott Family farmed about 20 acres of land and finally started a restaurant called Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Mrs. Knott's food became well-known and her husband Walter built a Ghost Town as a way of entertaining waiting customers. The family kept expanding and today, Knott's Berry Farm has 165 rides, shows, attractions and restaurants. For more than 80 years, Knott's Berry Farm has been entertaining families and visitors from around the world with great rides and fantastic fun.Knott's Berry Farm is separated into six different themed areas with rides and attractions. Fiesta Village highlights (突出) California's Spanish heritage (遗产) with art work, rides and food. Indian Trails is similar to Fiesta Village but with an accent on Native American legends, crafts, music and dancing. The heart and soul of Knott's, Ghost Town is an 1880s California Boom Town with cowboys, gunfights, stagecoaches, and a real steam train. The Boardwalk makes people think of Southern California beach and surfing heritage plus the Boomerang roller coaster and the Hammer-Head. Wild Water Wilderness is an 1800s-style park with water rapids and a magical journey into Native North America. For Peanuts fans, Camp Snoopy is a six-acre children's wonderland with 30 rides and attractions. Knott's Berry Farm also stages yearly special events such as Scary Farm and Halloween Haunt plus Knott's Merry Farm for the holiday season.Knott's Berry Farm is in Buena Vista, Orange County, California.
