We've been to Knott's Merry Farm 20 times at least,  and the charm of Knotts Merry Farm is completely down-home and some would even say old-fashioned.

If you're a fan of Christmas, Knotts Merry Farm fills the bill at nearly half the price of other theme parks in Southern California - not to mention the food is pretty good.  You get to see the Snoopy Ice Show without paying big fees that Disney charges when they take their ice skating shows on the road. At Knotts, it's included with admission and it features many of the same professional skaters as the other ice shows.
