The Best Things to Do in Buena Park
1. Ride the Coasters at Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park

Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park is a local favorite, and we have a few OC friends who have season passes.
If you love coasters, then you must ride GhostRider, the West Coast’s tallest, fastest, and longest wooden roller coaster. Also, get on HangTime, California’s first dive coaster. During our visit on a Tuesday, there were no lines except for GhostRider.
See Buena Park’s seasonal events below; Knott’s Berry Farm hosts many of them, including the Boysenberry Festival, Knott’s Scary Farm, and Knott’s Merry Farm.
Seasonal Events: The Boysenberry Festival starts in March. Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights are in the summer. Knott’s Spooky Farm and Knott’s Scary Farm are in the fall, and Knott’s Merry Farm is during the holiday season.
Local Tip: If you live nearby, buy the meal plan with your season pass. Sometimes, our OC friends go only to eat. Jacob would be all over it if we lived in SoCal since the man loves a good deal. Let’s say a meal there is around $18-20. You only need to eat nine meals to make the meal plan worth it (you get two meals daily with your pass).
