Nearly every hotspot in Buena Park can be found on one strip - Beach Boulevard. There is something here to suit every taste for every member of the family. Truly, there is fun to be had for all.
Of course, Buena Park's crown attraction is Knott's Berry Farm - The Peanuts gang's answer to Disneyland which, incidentally, is located just down Katella in neighboring Anaheim. The rides are a bit more sophisitacated and exciting than anything found in the House of Mouse, with coasters like Silver Bullet, exhileratping rides like the Perilous Plunge, and of course, Ghost Town's crowning achievment: Ghost Rider, the longest wooden roller coaster on the west coast. The park also boasts Camp Snoopy for the little ones. Knott's Soak City waterpark is just across the way for some wet fun in the Southern California Sun.

In October, Knotts Berry Farm transforms from family fun spot by day to creepy horror movie by rnight as Knotts Holloween Haunt. Each seperate land of the park is transformed into a different theme. The once tranquil Camp Snoopy becomes a scene straight from a slasher movie with creeping fog and the most horrific monsters hopping out from the forrested darkness. The mazes are terrifying and the shows are great. Everybody's got to go sometime.
After spending the day at the theme park, you can spend your night being entertained at the royal court of Medevil Times or you may find yourself aboard a pirate ship at Pirates Dinner Adventure. Both offer themed dinners and an excuse to eat with your hands while pirates or knights perform for you.
