Whether you are from Southern California or not, I can bet that everyone has heard of this popular attraction at least once in their lifetime. Not only has this been a very special place to visit for many generations, but it’s also filled with some fascinating history. Take a look at these 11 things that you probably didn’t know about Knott’s Berry Farm in Orange County.
1. Knott's Berry Farm is a well-known theme park that spans 160-acres and offers approximately 40 different rides.
8. Not only did the family sell berries, but they also started selling fried chicken dinners in a tea room on the farm in 1934. This later became Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant.
9. As the popularity of the chicken restaurant increased, Walter Knott started building various attractions on the farm to keep people entertained as they waited for a table to eat at their popular restaurant.
11. It wasn't until 1968 that they started charging admission to the theme park at Knott's Berry Farm. The admission at that time was a whopping 25 cents...which was also the same price you were charged to ride the cable car.
Knott’s Berry Farm is located at 8039 Beach Boulevard in Buena Park, CA. Do you have any fun memories of this historic theme park in Southern California?
