I'm glad so many enjoy Knott's. Personally, we purchased tickets to the Knott's Merry Food festival (can't remember the name) for a date at Thanksgiving and one near Christmas. We attended the one at Thanksgiving. We did not enjoy. We decided we would give away the Christmas tickets, then CA shut down, so I got my money back. I am glad people enjoy Knott's, but it wasn't for us.
Yeah, we mostly feel the same way. We go once a year in November when they give active duty military families a free entry. We pay for parking and food and even then, BARELY feel that it was worth our time and money. It's like just a step above a county fair, for me. The ride loading is PAINFULLY slow and inefficient and there just isn't enough to do to fill a whole day.
