Buena Park
Located
in the northwestern section of Orange County, Buena Park is home to
approximately 82,000 citizens. What used to be strictly a farming
community is now a landlocked suburb with plenty of attractions,
including Knotts Berry Farm, which more or less put Buena Park on the
map.
Knotts Berry Farm was once just a berry farm that was known for producing some of Southern California's most delicious berries. People used to come from all over the region to taste their berries, which prompted them to build a successful restaurant as well as other attractions. Fast forward to 2007 and Knott's Berry Farm is one of the most visited attractions in the country. The latest addition is a 13 acre water park. Filled with just over 2 million gallons of water, the park is sure to keep your kids occupied for hours. Knott's Berry Farm also offers rollercoasters, as well as a little bit of history on Native Americans and Indian Towns.
Perhaps one of Orange
County's best kept secrets is the Ralph B. Clark Regional Park. The
park features a 3 acre lake stocked with catfish, bass, and trout, as
well as picnic tables and barbecue pits. Possibly the single most
intriguing aspect of the park are the two earthquake fault lines, which
includes two, 100 foot vertical displacements. Visitors should also
visit the Paleontological Museum, a 6,000 square foot center that
allows guests to study the life that roamed the earth over 400,000
years ago.
If you want to take a trip
back to 1093 A.D., have dinner at the Medieval Times Dinner and
Tournament. Knights compete on horseback at full gallop, which allows
families to enjoy horsemanship, swordplay, sorcery, and falconry.
Movieland Wax Museum is the only museum exclusively devoted to stars of
stage, television, and movies from the past 70 years. There, you will
see wax, real life-sized celebrities, illustrating stars like Judy
Garland, Sylvester Stallone and Marilyn Monroe.
Ripley's Believe it or Not
Museum, referred to as the “odditorium” by locals, offers a collection
of weird physical replicas and magnificent displays that document
events, places, and people. Check out a size 36D shoe, made for the
world's tallest man, or a Fiji mermaid, all within this 10,000 square
foot museum.
