The shops around the restaurant have some unique things, things that you used to find at Disneyland, until the convert to just a lot of mass produced stuff. If you are a history nut, go check out Independence Hall on the property (a true reproduction).

Originally Posted By crapshoot <<Is there enough to do for a 5 & 8 yr old??>> Camp Snoopy will hold their interest alone for a couple of hours of fun. Then you got the Calico Mine Train, Log Ride, Ghost Town Railroad, Carousel, Sky Cabin, Wild West Stunt Show, Ghost Town exhibits, Calico Saloon Can Can Show, Big Foot Rapids (you will get wet), Wheeler Dealer Bumper Cars, Jaguar Coaster is pretty mild. I think that Ghost Rider Coaster goes down the third week of Feb for maintenance. That's not for your kids though. Have fun!

Take the kids on the mine train and the regular train that has a robbery every day. For the coasters, their new one, Silver Bullet, is great as well as Xcelerator, which is similar to Screamin' in that it has a launch. Lots of fun. If you go on GhostRider, go in the morning. The track gets rougher as the day goes on, from what I've been told.

It is what it is and no disprespect, but it's hard flying over from the East Coast, having an awesome time at DL, Legoland, Sea World, even Universal Hollywood, and after all that.....Knotts. I wish I had talked to people about it before I went there on my last day in CA. Live and learn.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer Lisa and I are looking forward to Knott's Winter Solace on March 10th and 11th, we have booked the Hotel package, and will be going lots of folks who fly in from across the country (mainly coaster fans) just to visit Knott's for the weekend. I recommend Knott's to anyone, they have a great kids area in Camp Snoopy, awesome coasters such as Ghostrider, one of the highest rated wooden coaster in the world, Xcelerator, Silver Bullet and more. Plus family rides/attractions such as the Log Ride, the Mine Train, the Stagecoach, the Train, and Mystery Lodge. Plus great shows and food. And heck, it is a bargain at the price.
