How to plan a full day at the park
A full-day plan can start with the rides that matter most to your group, then leave time to move between areas and take breaks.
The park’s history offers a sense of how its attractions developed. During the Great Depression, Walter Knott grew boysenberries on his Orange County farm.
Cordelia Knott opened an adjoining tea shop in 1934, serving fried chicken and boysenberry pie. The Knotts later added an Old West attraction to entertain customers waiting for the tea shop, and the theme park gradually grew from there.
