Knott's is close, and you can go to dinner after the park, many choices... Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, T.G.I. Friday's, Johnny Rockets, Amber Waves or one of the two Dinner Theaters, Medieval Times or the Pirates Dinner Theater.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer Just came back from Wild Rivers, nice place, but it is showing its age (photos are being uploaded as I type). Lisa and I both agree that Soak City was better. Also seems to be more expensive, less free tubes, food was so-so. But it was fun to see parts of the old Lion Country Safari (now being used for Summer camp type programs).
