There are great rollercoasters and then themed areas as well. The Peanuts/Camp Snoopy area is GREAT for kids, the food is surprisingly so good for an amusement park, and the rides are really fun! I came for my birthday with my brother, SIL, and best friend, and we all wanted something different from the experience and all left incredibly happy. I am so glad I have a season pass. I can't wait to go back!

Better than Disneyland, yeah, I said it and I'll say it again. Better than Disneyland!!…read more Such a cute and convenient theme park for kids literally babies up to almost-big-kids. Every ride my son (4 years old at the time) rode on with myself or his auntie was so thrilling for him. He also experienced his first roller coaster here and he enjoyed it. We also ate lunch here and I'd have to say even the pricing for their food is decent for this day and age. Extremely grateful by how clean they keep the theme park and how friendly the staff are! Definitely a must-visit if you're ever in the OC area and need a fun spot to take your little ones where it won't break the bank for you.

We took my 7month old baby here and there is a couple of rides that we can take him on. The fun part was the carouseland the petting zoo.

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.

Riders board ore cars and are taken on a winding semi dark ride through a stylized 19th century gold mine. The ride is located in the Ghost Town section at Knotts Berry Farm. The mountain structure that houses the ride is seven stories tall! It's built with steel and elaborate rock work. During the ride, you pass through the tunnels, caverns, underground lakes, bubbling steam pots, geysers, and even ornate cave formations! One of the most memorable features of the ride is the hole scene set in a large chamber! You'll see dozens of animatronic miners hard at work trying to strike it rich! In 2014, this ride did go through a refurbishment. The renovation included new animatronics, enhanced lighting, sound systems, special effects, and new paint! This is such a great family ride. It's not too scary, but there are some beautiful scenes. It's a slow ride and one of the best rides at Knotts Berry farm!

Another must for the park!…read more The line to go up gets a bit narrow and is on a slight slope, so just keep that in mind if it's raining or if you have weak ankles. This ride is a dark ride/set piece ride that takes you back into the mines back in the day. It's Kott's first ride opened in the 1960s so some of the animatronics look a bit haunting/aged, but it's still a fun and neat time all around. It's cool that you can look so deep into caverns, see the inside lakes, pools of water, steam, and stalactites and stalagmites. In the 2010s some updates were made as well, so it's not all entirely aged. There's a cute musical light show in the water pools/cave formation rooms. Later on you also go outside of the cave and see out to the park. I love the little vultures. Nice and slow ride with lots to look at.

Gold n' Stuff is a great place for kids and teens. Some adults like to play miniature golf, but we…read morehave only seen them on rides with their kids. The place has been around quite some time and kids do tend to make a mess, but they keep up after it. Parking is for a fee, but sometimes you get a game card that comes with the parking. It can get crowded in the summer and on weekends. We go on week days and have been several times. Now, the prices in here add up fast so be mindful of that, but it is the same as other similar places. Miniature golf is about 16$, a go kart is about 12$, the arcade can really add up so get a card that you can use for the wide variety of games they have. The bumper boats and Disk Thrill Ride are about 12$ per person. We love their little train and that is about 5$. You can get a two hour wrist band and we do that and save a lot that way. All in all the prices are fair. The service there is nice and the place has a lot to offer, you don't have to do it all. There is a lot to do. They also have Birthday Parties there and that is great. It is super fun.

This is usually a popular thing during the Bash and lines can be over an hour or two so plan accordingly. Of all the bashes this was the first time we went through cause usually the line was super long all the time we went around 20 mins before closing time and the line was manageable. The lighting is cool and the sounds and the displays are interesting. Overall it's good to see at least one time in my opinion but do plan accordingly.

Especially hearing that there's a new attraction SKYRIDER that opened mid September 2025, my son came here w 2 of his closet bud to celebrate his bday. They were so excited to ride the Skyrider, it's a zip line across partial of the park. I highly definitely recommend this indoor playground. It's probably the best one in OC. We've gone to a lot the past years. This place has so much for your kids to do. Met the manager Terry and Sally. They are both amazing and friendly. Always there to answer your questions and needs. Our school Mabel Paine had a day of fundraising here also. UA loves to support and gives back to the community. Love a friendly oriented company. What's awesome is they now have a security here that I love since it's open. Security really nice. The indoor playground is pretty clean and well taken care of. Love the mascot Urbie. He's also cool with the kids. We are regulars here and definitely plan to return. They have great yearly membership at a great value. Must check it out!

We celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday at this location and it was truly the best! It was our…read morefirst time here and it did not disappoint. Total stress- free experience. They offer birthday packages that include EVERYTHING- private room/s, food, beverages, hosts, decor (I was able to bring my own decor/cake too which was a plus). The entertainment/attractions are perfect for kids of all ages. Our assigned hosts were Natalie and Andre - I completely recommend!! They were both WONDERFUL. As soon as I walked in everything was decorated/setup as I had requested. Natalie was on top of it all - she reviewed my food order one last time day of to ensure all was accurate (we communicated food allergies and she made sure the right pizza crusts/ orders were in place - Thank you this truly meant a lot) . She was so sweet and attentive she answered all my questions and executed the party flow perfectly. Andre did an amazing job getting my guests checked it and set with wristbands/socks. They both were patient and welcoming! They truly made this such an unforgettable fun, smooth and well organized experience for us! THANK YOU!

So crowded that we only stayed for an hour. That being said - each time we have been to this water park, it's always crowded. The facilities are nice and the park itself is well laid out - just far too many people to enjoy it. We don't plan on going back any time soon!

This was our second water park experience. In comparison to the other park that we went to, I was…read morevery pleased with the size of this park. It was nice to have things more spread out where I didn't feel claustrophobic or trapped. Overall we had a great day here. We went on Memorial Day which I expected to be super crowded but it was manageable I have 2 kids under 10 and they were able to enjoy different aspects of the park. Here are my takeaways: Arrive early - that's the best way to get seats and get a few rides in before it gets busy. People seem to respect seat saving. So have a couple towels that you can leave to hold a spot. Bring snacks - the lines were long to get food. Try to avoid busy times or else you will be waiting for a long time. Also get the daily dining plan. We got food every 90 minutes until lines got super long. (The dining plan also works at Knotts across the street.) Wear water socks or shoes to keep your feet safe and clean. The ground gets HOT. Plus you won't have to leave your shoes and risk them getting taken. Bring towels, they do not provide any there. I'd even bring an extra towel or 2 so that way you always have a dry towel if you want to towel off during the day. Be prepared for chilly water. It was manageable, especially on a hot day. But my kids were chilly walking from one place to the next. Come up with a system for your kids in case you get separated. It's easy to get out of view, especially when you have 2 or more kids doing different things. Tell them where to go (or to stay put) if they can't find you, and where you will be. Put your kids in bright clothing so they stand out and are easy to spot. You can bring blankets and umbrellas to sit on the grass if you'd like. Lines will get super long as the day progresses. Get there early, ride as much as you can, then chill for the rest of the day. You have to be able to walk up a lot of stairs if you want to do the slides.

Use a credit card to book your room, so you can use their quick check in line. Either way, make sure you take the exact card you use to book for checking in. Before you go, buy the discounted dining deal. You can only buy it in advance, and the food and drinks are pretty pricey, so you will spend $$$. I also suggest attaching your credit card to your wristband for convenience. We really enjoyed the pizza place onsite. We checked in on a Sunday and it was a bit crowded, but we managed to do it all in three hours. The kids loved the bunk bed, and my only complaint about our room is that the tub faucet leaked. The next day, we packed a bag with a change of clothes that we fit into a small locker for $12, and went back into the waterpark for a couple more hours. I recommend packing travel toiletries for a quick shower before leaving. They have plenty of showers, changing rooms, and a swimsuit dryer, but no toiletries in the waterpark bathrooms. Waterpark towels are provided and must be checked out and in or you'll be charged, so don't lose them. There's a water bottle refill station in the waterpark near the bathrooms. We didn't try many of the activities offered except for the arcade that offered packages starting at $35. Lastly, be sure to pay for parking before you leave. That was also $35. All in all, we got a deal on the room but spent more on food, drinks, games, and parking combined. My kids are 5 and 10, and they were able to go on just about everything that was open. One day was plenty of time if you don't plan on doing all of the activities.

Our experience trying to plan my son's birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove was…read morebeyond frustrating and honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've had. The issue is not necessarily that every employee was rude -- the real problem is the completely broken system and lack of communication between departments. We booked THREE rooms for 18 guests for a birthday celebration and simply wanted to reserve and pay for a place where everyone could eat lunch together and celebrate with cake. Something that should have been straightforward became an exhausting process filled with confusion, conflicting information, and endless transfers between departments. The front desk had no idea about the policies of the events department. The front desk also had no clear understanding of pool policies. Every single question required someone to "leave a note" for another department and wait for an email response that never came. No callbacks. No follow-up. No accountability. The most frustrating part was trying to contact the front desk directly. First, you are forced through an AI system. Then you finally reach someone in the "reservation department," who is not even onsite. Despite politely asking multiple times to be transferred directly to the front desk, they refused and insisted they could help. They could not. Instead, they placed me on hold supposedly to ask the front desk themselves -- and after 11 minutes on hold, they never came back. At that point, yes, the reservation department representatives themselves became part of the problem: rude, dismissive, unprofessional, poorly trained, and completely incapable of resolving even simple questions. This company has far too many unnecessary departments that clearly do not communicate or work together. Planning an important family event here became stressful instead of enjoyable. I will never host another birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge again, and I would strongly caution families against wasting their time and money here for important celebrations.
