How many rides are in Knotts?

The park features 40 rides, including roller coasters, family rides, dark rides, and water rides.



As of 2026, Knott's Berry Farm features approximately 43 rides in total. This collection is spread across four themed areas: Ghost Town, Fiesta Village, The Boardwalk, and Camp Snoopy. The lineup includes 10 world-class roller coasters, such as the legendary wooden GhostRider, the inverted Silver Bullet, and the recently reimagined MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress. For families, there are two water rides (Timber Mountain Log Ride and Calico River Rapids) and over a dozen attractions specifically for small children in the 57-acre park. In 2026, the park continues to balance its high-thrill identity with its historic "Ghost Town" roots, offering a total of over 40 distinct attractions including dark rides like the Calico Mine Ride and authentic stagecoach journeys. Note that this count does not include the 15-acre Knott's Soak City waterpark, which is a separately ticketed experience located adjacent to the main theme park.

There are 40 rides squeezed into that tiny footprint, as opposed to the 29 in Disneyland park, but what Knott's loses in that tradeoff is space to sit back and soak in the atmosphere.
