This 160-acre theme park features fast thrill rides, delicious boysenberry pie, a water park, and so much more.

When things got tough during the Depression, Mrs. Knott set up a roadside stand selling pies, preserves, and home-cooked chicken dinners. Lines became so long that Walter decided to create an Old West Ghost Town as a diversion for waiting customers. Today, guests can still enjoy their famous chicken dinners and boysenberry pie.

Cleanest hotel ever!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

"Cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at! Rooms were serviced every day and sheets were changed every three days. Even the corners, under the sink counters and the grout in the tub were clean. The outside door mats were hosed down and the pool was throughly cleaned every day. The staff was friendly as well. Location to the park is perfect. They offer a small continental breakfast but if you want more, the hotel has a Dennys on one side and Ihop on the other. There are other restaurants in the area as well. I would highly recommend and will be staying there again if we return to Anaheim."
