About
Knott’s Soak City and Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California is owned by Cedar Fair. In 2018, the amusement park was the 12th most visited amusement park in North America. The park began as a berry stand in the 20s and soon grew to a restaurant and ghost town replica by the 40s and since then has expanded to a favorite Orange County destination. Through sales and expansions in the 90s and 2000s, the park was sold from the Knott family, and added a water park. Knott’s Scary Farm takes over the park in October every year and has been a regular event since 1973. Be sure to visit!
