History: In 1920, Walter and Cordelia Knott arrived in Buena Park and rented a small acreage of farmland. From a roadside stand on the property, they popularized the boysenberry, propagated by Anaheim's "Rudy" Boysen. From these berry fields evolved the nation's oldest theme park.

Theme parks and you
Posted by Obviously Sane from Camarillo, CA on July 15, 2008
Theme parks open to vast diversity: having fun in theme parks requires a sense of identity and an open mind. beware; the world is full of people who do not have your beliefs and/or value system. although this may be a stark reality for those who hold a clean seperation between what is personally held as valuable and what others believe. many people tend to see the world in "shoulds" and "oughts". it is important to know where you begin and end especially around the qualities you value. it is a responsible measure to keep your values from illegally crossing into others. as you test these ideas, it would be most beneficial to go ahead and enjoy the differences in choices. creativity is the lifeblood of the people. have fun!
Knott's berry farm a ton of fun

To the reviewer above: i'm not exactly sure how you expect knott's or disneyland to screen out visitors that you deem inappropriate or that are different from yourself. theme parks cannot keep out certain people unless they are creating a threatening or dangerous situation. goths frequent disneyland as well. we were on a tour around christmas-time, and our tour group got stuck walking through about 100 of them that were congregating in front of the castle with their mohawks, purple hair and oversized black jeans. goths also frequent disneyland on the infamous "bats day," where thousands converge on disneyland. so, i would suggest you not send your daughter there either and make sure all the schools know. i would hate for your daughter to exposed to that.
