Surf's Up at Suthern Calfornia Themeparks and Waterparks

Looking for a family friendly getaway that is big on fun and easy on family funds? Conveniently positioned in the center of Orange County, California and only a short 10-minute drive from Disneyland is the lively and revitalized town of Buena Park. Home to World Famous Knott’s Berry Farm as well as, Knott’s Soak City, Medieval Times, and Pirates Dinner Adventure, Buena Park is sure to entertain the kids and bring out the inner child in parents.

Take everyone from teens to toddlers to grandparents, because there's a variety of coasters from mild to wild, including the legendary Timber Mountain Log Ride. Don’t miss out on visiting Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, watching the classic Wild West Show, panning for gold or taking a picture in old fashioned western gear.

Fun, Themed Family Dining & Lodging in Buena Park Area

After a day at the park, dine on fried chicken, warm biscuits and boysenberry pie at the famous Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant.

If you’re looking for a little adventure in the evening, then visit the world’s most interactive dining experience at Pirate’s Dinner Adventure or Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. Buena Park also offers multiple dining options such as flavorful Korean barbecue at Sagan, more than 100 of the latest video games at John’s Incredible Pizza, a taste of the Mediterranean at Golden Nights or Bollywood-style atmosphere with Indian cuisine and singing and dancing at the new Torch restaurant.

After a long day of excitement, rest in one of Buena Park’s comfortable accommodations. The Radisson Suites and Holiday Inn are centrally located nearby all the attractions and Knott’s Berry Farm Resort is just steps away from the theme park and offers a special incentive - book a charming Snoopy themed room and Snoopy himself will provide "tuck in" service.
