04 · The parks

What each one is.

Knotts Berry Farm

Knott's Berry Farm sits in Buena Park, Orange County, California, with a long history dating back to Walter Knott's original berry farm and boysenberry jam stand from the 1920s. It's now a full theme park famous for its coaster line-up: HangTime, Silver Bullet, Xcelerator (a hydraulic launch coaster), GhostRider (a large wooden coaster), and the classic Timber Mountain Log Ride.

Southern California locals keep Knott's busy all year round, but peak crowds align with US school holidays, the extremely popular Scary Farm Halloween event, and Knott's Merry Farm at Christmas. Check live wait times for Xcelerator and HangTime on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a weekday outside local school breaks for shorter queues.

Legoland Orlando

LEGOLAND Florida sits in Winter Haven, about 45 minutes south-west of Orlando, on the site of the old Cypress Gardens. It's pitched at families with kids 2-12 and has a full LEGO-themed line-up: The Dragon castle coaster, Coastersaurus, the LEGO Movie World area, and a separate water park during warmer months. A smaller Peppa Pig Theme Park operates next door as a separate admission.

Because LEGOLAND Florida is less crowded than the big Orlando parks, queue times stay manageable most of the year - but holiday weeks and LEGO convention weekends can push waits up sharply. Check the crowd calendar for your visit date, and use live wait times to pick up rides with light queues during slower afternoon hours.
