 Last weekend we were invited out to the Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival to take in the festivities and of course the food. The event is growing each year and is definitely popular. We of course had an amazing time, but we also do have a few things we'd like to see updated since the event is growing so much, things to alleviate some of the growing pains. Written by Gregg Condon I think this is the right place  Let's get to eating!!  Our first stop was for a waffle and chips with ice cream. You know, for Breakfast. Both were good, although the Waffle needed something, and that something is the ice cream. We got the chips later in the day and they were just as good. Both are found at the Ghost Town Bakery.  Three things we got to try at the tasting preview, and they were just as good, if not better than they were then. All Three are available at Wagon Wheel Pizza across from Ghostrider.  Something that we didn't know was coming, and isn't on your tasting card, but is delicious, found in Spurs Chop House.  They are made to order, which is nice. I will say though, if we got this again we'd get it without the Hummus. I think that's part of the Shawarma, but I think we would have preferred a bit less of it.  After eating all that food, it was time to take in some of the sights.  Spring has sprung    Goatses  The merch game was on point  Definitely my philosophy  Cannot recommend the Boysenberry Cobbler enough. It's super easy and super good.  Yo, Yo, Yo ... that's my jam  Our faces all day  You can smell the boysenberries as you approach, so if you want to smell like boysenberries after a bath, get all this stuff.  And then of course, wrap yourself in your boysenberry towel  The wine and Beer tasting was back, although we have to say the "pours" you'd get with the tasting card were very inconsistent. By the end of the day you'd pretty much get a "shot" of Boysenberry beer.  The chili was a hit in our group (Outside Wilderness Dance Hall)  As was the sausage (also found Outside Wilderness Dance Hall)   It's not very often you could spend all day at a theme park, only ride 2 rides and feel like you had a full day, but you can at the Boysenberry Festival    Green Frog, Blue Frog, Green Frog ...
Purple Fly?  We didn't catch the Jam-Boree, but I'm sure it's great for those who are into that kind of thing   BOBA!!! (Starbucks inside the park)  Let's get back to the food, skirt steak skewer (also towards the front of the park)  Chicken Wings (by Ghostrider)  Chicken Skewer (Indian Trails)  Pulled Pork Fries (Calico Fry Co)  This brings us to one of the things we'd like to see changed. All of the food we just shared above other than the Chili, Boba and Sausage was at the very front of the park, mostly along the path to Ghostrider. That's a lot of food in a very small area, and an area with not a lot of seating (although you could sit in Spurs Chop House, which was nice). We'd really like to see them spread this out to the rest of the park. 95% of everything was in Ghost Town. Things like the Tostada could have easily been put in Fiesta Village to give the festival more room to spread out among the park. It also would have helped with seating and food lines. Just a suggestion. We also heard from some others that food locations and the Dance Hall closed early on Sunday. The park was PACKED. Not sure if that's a scheduling issue or what, but hopefully that's something they address. Alright, we have a bit of a Rapids Construction update below, but before we get to that, we also have our top 5 food items to share:
Let's take a look at the Rapids construction, there are finally a few walls up  Not a whole lot of visible work in this area     They are definitely doing some work in the queue   Alrighty, that's gonna wrap it up. We will probably head back to the park for more Boysenberry food at least once more during the Boysenberry Festival, probably in a few weeks. Be sure you head out to the park to check it out. You won't be disappointed. More details about the Boysenberry Festival can be found here. Related Videos:
