It felt like you were truly in the Wild West. I loved buying souvenirs in the shops. They have a large Knott's Berry Farm official restaurant there as well. The rides are all very unique which was nice. A good variety: there are big roller coasters, fun car/buggy rides, tall drop rides, 3-D rides, etc. They also had tons of great candy stores too. As a sugar lover myself, I throughly enjoyed the candy bins & boysenberry snacks. Overall, a very fun place to spend the day. I stayed all day & can't wait to return again.

Had a terrible experience on October 10, 2026. We had four people in our party and went into the…read morestandby line for Xcelerator. The guy working at the merge between the regular line and the "fast lane" in the afternoon at 3:30 PM was the absolute worst. I understand that people in the fast lane have priority over riders but you don't just let 25 to 30 minutes of people pass and let the regular lane on standby. There would be a few groups that would scan in via wristband or with their piece of paper which is fine but there were so many times where the line ends and the guy working would wait 2 to 3 minutes without letting anyone from the regular line go on. The line to get on the actual ride wasn't long at all until it got very full with 30 minutes of fast lane riders which was about 80 to 100 people easily. Once we got to the actual standby line, it started drizzling a little bit so they closed down the ride for who knows how long. We waited and waited even after the rain subsided but they still didn't open up. We waited over 30 minutes and decided to leave the line through the front which was the only way out. After about 10 minutes, they decided to open up the ride which was very frustrating. Two of us came back at 4:50 PM. I'm a tall guy but I was within the height limit. I know this because I've been on this ride a few years ago without any problem at all. My friend and I waited almost 30 minutes and it was finally time for us to get on. As soon as I get in the car, some teenager working there with blond hair demands that I get up so they could measure me. I asked if I can take off my HOKAS which add an inch to my height to which he declined and told me to get out. If I was approached by a Knott's employee anytime within the hour of me waiting my first time around or the 30 minutes my second time to check my height, I would've been okay with that. Instead, I waited almost an hour and a half total only to be kicked out in a rude manner after I got comfortable. My neck also fit the headrest with plenty of room to spare so there was no problem there. My biggest complaint is to the young Hispanic male working the merge that's probably in his early to mid 20s. He was 100% not following line protocol because why would you let 20 minutes of "fast lane" holders through without even batting an eye to the regular standby line even when nobody was coming through? At one point, there were a few guests with wristbands that didn't scan but he let them through anyways. Also, your ride wait times are not near accurate. There were a few rides in Camp Snoopy with a 5 minute wait time and they all took 25 to 30 minutes. The log ride said 60 minutes but it took less than 10 minutes. Most rides said 10 to 15 minutes but actually was a 30 to 40 minutes standby wait time. Knott's is one of those theme parks that only hire incompetent teenagers and kids in their early 20s that know nothing about customer service or safety. Since the Knott's owner merged with Six Flags, I expect lots of changes. First off, paying $40 for parking for it to be way off property past the hotels is insane. The $60 preferred parking isn't good either because it's still extremely far away. Your employees are absolute garbage and need to learn basic communication skills. Lastly, the safety equipment for your rides are all trash. Every single ride needs a renovation because there's rust everywhere and it's very bumpy. Spend more money and go to Disneyland or an actual theme park and not this hot garbage. Easily the worst theme park in the area.

It was definitely a lot smaller than I remembered now that I am an adult, but it was truly the perfect size theme park for toddlers. It's nice that pretty much everything is included, just a couple of things that cost extra, like food to feed the animals, souvenirs, arcade games, but mostly everything we wanted to check out was included. Our kids are 3 1/2 and 5 and pretty much enjoyed all the rides! The roller coaster is a little rough, but I think it just depends on your kid, since my younger one really enjoyed it. They have food available to buy in the center of the park and tables all around, making it really easy to just take a break to eat something. I like that everything is really close to each other, so you don't feel like you're walking around a maze to get around. I wouldn't even bother with a stroller because everything is so close to each other. The tickets are the same price for anyone above one year old. I do wish the kids tickets were a little bit cheaper, but other than that, I thought it was a pretty fair price, considering you'd probably pay the same amount for a similar type wristband for rides at a fair for example, and at least younger kids can ride all of these ones. You probably wouldn't be able to spend a whole day here because of the size but an afternoon or a morning is plenty, especially for this age range.

Review #1010 2026-080…read more The Boardwalk Games & Arcade features different interactive games as well as an arcade with the latest & most popular games. The latter was reimagined in 02/2025 as The Factory Floor Arcade to feature a 1920s factory theme with 70 games & virtual reality attractions: Godzilla & Rilex Coaster. Players can redeem their winnings at the redemption counter that's stocked with prizes. The outdoor area is lined with traditional midway carnival games of skill & chance: 3-Point Challenge, Beach Ball Bust, Boardwalk Hoops, Bonkers, Dune Buggy Dash, Gearhead Knock Down, Hang Time Challenge, Hi-Striker, Ring Toss, Strike Out, Surf's Up, The Guessing Game (Knott's operator either guesses age or weight within a specific margin to win a prize), Woodstock's Birdbath (this is a "winner every time" game), etc. Both require additional fees from park admission. We rarely play at the Boardwalk Games & Arcade unless there's a collectible toy that caught our kids' eye. While it's a couple of dollars, it adds up due to the difficulty level, except Woodstock's Birdbath (but its prizes are less desirable), & the frustration of not winning anything after spending a lot of time & money. A $5 plushie might cost $50 after multiple failed attempts... yikes! We limited our kiddos to $20. One of the handful of times my eldest played, H won a Squishmallow at one of the booths on her 1st try! ^_^ Whoohoo! Recommended: If you're pretty skilled or just damn lucky, I'd say go for it!

If you are here and you are absolutely itching to play at an arcade, it's fine for what it is, but the ticket redemptions and the price per play is a big rip off. In addition, they have claw machines that are all set to such a low rate of winning that it's totally not worth it at all. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are really in an arcade mood, there are plenty of spots outside of the theme park that you can go to.

Designed by legendary theme park creator Wendell "Bud" Hurlbut, the slow-moving, 8-minute dark ride takes passengers on a steam train through a highly detailed, bustling western gold mine. It is celebrated for its mix of realism and wonder, featuring deep underground caverns, waterfalls, geysers, and vibrant glowing stalagmites. Award: Calico Mine Ride received the THEA Classic award in 1998. The award honors exemplary, timeless attractions that have operated continuously for over 20 years and set new industry standards. Background On Upgrade: In January 2014, the ride underwent a massive refurbishment in partnership with Garner Holt Productions. This extensive makeover restored the classic attraction to its former glory by adding over 50 new animatronic figures, new lighting, and enhanced audio while still honoring the attraction's original charm. For a full point-of-view experience that takes you on a tour through all of the ride's detailed, subterranean scenes and glowing caverns: Visitation Rights: Been on this rides countless of times. My heart can't take all these other fast rides no more. Wait Time: Wait time can be long due to having only one train operating. It's a oldie, but goodie. Just keep calm and go with the flow. Location: Located in the Ghost Town section. Ambiance/Decor: A slow moving classic dark ride with animations. It smelled really bad last time when we were in the waiting queue. We originally thought it was the person in front of us... then we started pointing fingers at each other. LoL Once we left the area, the smell was gone. :) Calico Mine For Thought: I wouldn't mind riding the ride again. Hopefully, the smell won't be there the next time we go.

And this takes the cake as my all time favorite. The courses have great holes, with a large variety of simple classic style holes. But the place really shines in decor and atmosphere. It really leans into a more vintage vibe, considering this place is nearly 60 years old the grounds are immaculate, which is unheard of anywhere near LA. Amazing buildings and hedge arches dot the real turfed landscape. Vintage music plays out of old megaphones. Did I mention the place is massive? The parking lot holds maybe 400 cars, but expect it to be nearly full. It has vintage bumper boats, an arcade and 4 18 hole courses. Pricing is fair, 16.50 a person, and parking prices can vary but are usually free. Whoever maintains the grounds needs a serious raise, everything here is just perfect! COME AT NIGHT.

I really wanted to score a 4.5, but gave it the full five because the mini-golf courses were so well-maintained.

It opens during sun down AKA when all the other normies without event tickets get kicked out around 6 PM I believe and of course its an experience that is BEST in total darkness when the sun has already set. Despite going to Oogie Boogie for a couple years already, this was my first time ever going to Villain's Grove only by virtue of the line moving super fast (less than 15 minutes in our case) and that we reached the capacity of the amount of candy that we've already gotten from Trick or Treating. Since this experience has NO VILLAINS to meet NOR any candy to get, just make sure you have your priorities in check. Since any wait longer than that will cut into your precious Oogie Boogie time and that IS a sold out event most years, if not every year. This takes place at what usually is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and there's a slightly different route if you need ADA wheelchair accessibility. It's a neat experience with "geysers", candles, lights, fog, music, the simulation of rain and thunderstorms that give you a neat villainous vibe from familiar faces such as the Evil Queen, Maleficent, Scar, Dr. Facilier, etc. From an artistic perspective it's pretty neat how they pulled off some of the grove. Make sure to get a picture at the end of the grove when you enter the light. Very cool and dramatic photo for sure.

Six Years of Loyalty, and This Is How Great Wolf Lodge Treats Its Guests?…read more We have been frequenting Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove for over six years. We have returned year after year, referred countless friends and family members, and trusted this resort to provide a positive family experience. Unfortunately, after our latest experience, we are done. I called approximately one week before our reservation to explain that I had undergone emergency surgery and needed access to our room no later than noon. The gentleman who answered assured me he would make a note and that it would not be an issue. I called AGAIN the day before check-in, explained the circumstances to another employee, and received the same reassurance. I was simply told to notify Guest Services upon arrival. Not once was I informed about a $35 early check-in fee or told that my request was not guaranteed. Had anyone communicated those conditions during either call, I could have planned accordingly. Instead, I relied on the information provided by your own employees, only to be met with a disappointing lack of understanding and professionalism from Concierge Willow. To add to the frustration, our app displays our reservation as two adults and one child, despite my consistently booking for three adults over the past six years. The accuracy of our reservation is yet another concern. And here is what makes this particularly disappointing: we had planned a five-family holiday vacation for December. Those plans are now being canceled, and my family will not be returning. We have spent six years supporting this business and encouraging others to do the same. That ends here. Let me be clear: this is not about miscommunication. It is about a lack of understanding, accountability, and professionalism. I am tired of insincere apologies that do nothing to address the actual experience. An apology without genuine accountability is simply words. Garden Grove has countless other amusement parks and water parks competing for families' business. After this experience, I have no reason to continue choosing Great Wolf Lodge or recommending it to others. Loyalty should mean something. After six years, I expected better. Instead, Great Wolf Lodge has lost not only our family's business but the business of the families who were planning to join us. Six years of loyalty deserved better than this.
