Knott's Berry Farm amusement park is really a lot of fun!

Besides Universal, Disney, Lego, and other well-known amusement parks, Knott's Berry Farm, one of the three major theme parks with a century of history in Southern California, is also a must-visit when in LA. Christmas is coming, and the atmosphere in the park is very festive, with affordable tickets divided into five themed areas: Independence Town, Ghost Town, Fiesta Village, Snoopy, and the Roaring 20s. It's suitable for all ages, with height restrictions in the Snoopy area for kids. The park opens at 10 am, and closing times can vary, with evening sessions available. You can start lining up at 9:40. There's a hotel on-site, just a 5-minute walk from the amusement park, and on the way there, you'll pass a bakery. The bread isn't too sweet and tastes good, perfect for breakfast. It's recommended to go shopping for souvenirs the next day, as after a day of walking around, you'll likely be too tired to browse. The Snoopy-themed merchandise is quite comprehensive and conveniently located right next to the amusement park. Tickets: Weekday prices are cheaper, and there are hotel package deals, special holiday events, and annual passes, which are said to be the most cost-effective. There are also fast passes and the like, and the app is quite comprehensive, though not as user-friendly as Disney's. Dining: The official website offers meal deals, such as all-day unlimited drink refills (every fifteen minutes) and meals every 90 minutes (up to 4 times from opening to closing).
