Knotts Berry Farm - I found beer! And don't take your toddler...

We were just there Saturday August 13th.   It was 90 degrees... Ok here are my "ninja tidbits" for Knotts Berry Farm: 1- the Saloon in the Wild West town has beer on tap!   It's cool, AC, nice tables.. a great place to recharge in the heat. 2.  This place is NOT toddler friendly, in fact even my 6 year old couldn't do too much.  I say skip this park until the TWEEN years! 3.  The roller coasters looked fantastic!   TWEENS and TEENS!      The park is not that big, parents can hang out, drink beer, relax while the teens run amuck. 4.  Snoopy Camp- has a few rides-  more for the 3-4 year old.    It was like my 6 year old was in the "middle" years.... too big for Snoopy Camp and too small for the coasters. 5.  They have a real stage coach ride-  real horses.  WAY cool! 6.  The best place to eat is outside the park at the famous restaurant.   You must get a stamp and exit.  This place...

Legoland Mommy Ninja Hacks-- 5 year old & 1 year old”

You can get through the turnstiles right at 9am. Head right and there is one small land and one ride open (Ninjango). No lines that early.

BUT YOU NEED A PHOTO... come back outside (exit gates with stamp) to the family picture in front of the Legoland sign. That's the photo you want! So come back outside find the photographer and They will give you a wristband to scan for all of your photos that day. We went ahead and paid $50 dollars for the digital package. We got all of our photos in my email. 66 photos to...
