But this time we went to Knott\u2019s Berry Farm for the first time. My whole family really liked this place.  There are rides that anybody, no matter how old you are, can have fun with.<\/p>\n<p>My very favorite parts of Knott\u2019s Berry Farm are the trains. They have <i>three <\/i>of them!  On the \u201cCalico Mine Ride\u201d you get to go into a mine and see them looking for gold.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s a train in Camp Snoopy for the little kids (my little sister liked this one). I really wanted to ride the Huff and Puff but I was 2 inches too tall. This train has \u201cPumper Cars\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s where you get to push and pull a handle to make yourself go down the train track.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Lee2.jpg\" style=\"clear: left;float: left;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Lee2.jpg?682151ea3d1d91570b54f23c3f172aad\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>My favorite train is called the \u201cGrand Sierra Scenic Railroad.\u201d It\u2019s a real steam train and so fun to ride. It chugs you all around the park. But, you have to be careful because you might be riding when robbers get on board and they try to get your money. That happened to me!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/aaaaa.jpg\" style=\"clear: right;float: right;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-left: 1em\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/aaaaa.jpg?0ec097e0c4dac310dd65b579063d7372\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>In Camp Snoopy I really liked the Red Baron ride. I got to join famous World War I flying ace Snoopy and pilot my own Sopwith Camel! I love Snoopy. We watch the Halloween and Christmas movies every year. I asked Mom to get me a Snoopy stuffed toy, since it was my birthday. She did. Thanks mom!<\/p>\n<p>Knott\u2019s Berry Farm has some good roller coasters. My little sister liked the toddler roller coaster called \u201cTimberline Twister.\u201d She also picked a ride everybody in the family liked a lot, called the \u201cTimber Mountain Log Ride.\u201d I\u2019m used to going on \u201cSplash Mountain\u201d in Disneyland with my mom. This ride was kind of like it. We sailed down the water chutes and it had an old west theme all around to look at along the way. The drop at the end was not as big as Splash Mountain, which was good for my little sister.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Lee1.jpg\" style=\"clear: left;float: left;margin-bottom: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Lee1.jpg?8d1ee3fdc3c013567edec2a762c187d6\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Knott\u2019s Berry Farm is different from Disneyland because it\u2019s made like the old west California Gold Rush Days. There\u2019s a real blacksmith shop where you can get a horseshoe with your name hammered into it and a cowboy stunt show called \u201cFool\u2019s Gold Stunt Show,\u201d that was really cute and funny. And they even have a real stage coach that is pulled by real horses and we got to ride that.<\/p>\n<p>My parents said that Knott\u2019s Berry Farm is worth going to because it costs lots less than Disneyland. And if you get your tickets online before you go you can save even more money. Our whole family had lots of fun here.<\/p>\n<p>Guest Blog Author: Our guest author is Lee W., who just celebrated his 8th birthday at Knott\u2019s Berry Farm.  Lee\u2019s passion is trains, and he has volunteered at the Poway Midland Rail Road in San Diego, CA, since he was 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p><b>Side Note:&nbsp;<\/b><br \/>Knott\u2019s Berry Farm is considered the world\u2019s first theme park.  In 1940, while still a real berry farm, Walter Knott built a themed Ghost Town to entertain diners waiting for tables at his wife\u2019s fried chicken restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Knott\u2019s Berry Farm is less than ten minutes from Disneyland, and is a great \u201cbest bang for your buck\u201d park for entertainment every member of the family can enjoy.
