have you ever been to Knott's Berry Farm without the kiddies? i haven't. and when the opportunity came to try out Knott's new selection of food, i thought...date night! how much fun to enjoy a night out at the amusement park with just my husband.
when i think of Knott's, i think of rides....Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant and bosenberry pie. and yes, i do think of funnel cakes as well, but i have never really considered it a place to have a great dinner. well.....Knott's has really stepped up their menu, and has a ton of new YUMMY food choices in the park. check out some of my favorites we tried on our date night.

after our awesome dinner, we went on some rides. it was so much fun to run around the park without worrying about having to entertain the kiddies on the baby rides, taking someone to the restroom, or sitting out with a kiddie who didn't like that ride. we went on some of the classic rides all. by. ourselves.
a great date night.
hey...i also got interviewed about the new Knott's food...can you spot me!
of course you can get all this yummy food all day at the park, it doesn't just have to be on a date night. but it did make for a fun date night.
{disclosure: i was invited to Knott's to try out the new foods being offered in the park. i was given a complimentary dinner and admission. all opinions are my own, i wouldn't recommend anything i didn't love. we had a wonderful time. thanks Knott's for having us! #knottsnoms }
