大家应该都知道加州的迪士尼和好莱坞影城，今天我给大家介绍的这个地方是陪伴我成长的乐园，它叫Knott' s berry farm，史努比(Snoopy)是这里的主角哦。

Everyone in California knows about Disneyland and Universal studios. The place I'm introducing is a park I grew up with. It's Knott's Berry Farm, and Snoopy is the main character here.

Knott' s Berry Farm从最初的草莓园逐渐演变成一个吃纯正的西部鸡肉餐的餐厅，游客经常要排队等候几个小时，只为能吃到它。因为生意太好，排队人太多，餐厅主人诺氏夫人就建造了Ghost Town 供客人休息时可以玩耍。大家都知道洛杉矶是“淘金者”的胜地，当金子被开采完了淘金者就会离去， 变成一座空城，这就是Ghost Town的来历。所以诺氏沃特用了这个概念，将西部拓荒时期及淘金热潮的风貌真实呈现出来，让排队的客人有地方可以逛。就像现在的海底捞，你排队的时候可以修指甲，搽鞋子等……而现在这个乐园已摇身变为了加州最大的游乐场之一,你就可以去玩各种游乐设施啦！

Knott's Berry Farm used to be a berry farm then became a resturant that served fried chicken dishes, and visitors often waited in line for hours to get their hands on it. Because of the good business, the restaurant's owner, Mr. Knotts, built a western Ghost Town for guests to relax and play while they were waiting for a seat. Everyone knows that California was famous for its gold discoveries. When the gold ran out, there was no reson to stay in the town and they were abandoned. There's no life there, so this place was called a 'Ghost Town'. Knott's used this concept to entertain people waiting for the resturant. Like haidilao now, you can get a manicure, get your shoes shined while you wait in line...Now the park has been transformed into one of the biggest amusement parks in California. you can go on all kinds of rides!

为什么说这个地方是陪伴我成长的乐园呢？在我小时候，这个乐园是不需要门票的，因为小孩子的时候都没有钱，于是我们就喜欢来这里逛逛，在当时25美分就可以玩射箭，所以我和同学都喜欢来这里。当我七八岁的时候，我在公园唱了一年的歌。这是我第一份歌唱工作!

Why was this place so special to me? When I was a child, and we didn't have any money, the park was free for everyone, so we liked to visit here. At that time, we could play archery for 25 cent. When I was 7 or 8 years old, l got hired to sing at the park and l did for a year. lt was one of my first singing jobs!

  在这里，你还可以挑战惊险刺激的150英尺高的HangTime过山车，这可是释放压力的好地方！Knott's里最出名的要数他们的果酱，大家来这里玩的时候一定要记得买几瓶回家尝尝。

You can also challenge the HangTime roller coaster, which is 150 feet high and is a great way to relieve stress. Knott's is best known for boysenberry jam, so make sure you buy a few bottles when you visit.

As a travel expert, I have some tips for you:

Tickets:

1. Don't buy tickets at the park gate! The park gate price is $84,  go to the official website instead and pay only $53 (but if you enter after 4 o 'clock, it only costs $54). In general, it's most cost-effective to buy tickets online. Here is the Website: https://www.knotts.com/tickets-passes/knotts-daily-tickets

2. If you can buy a ticket one day in advance, I suggest you buy it on expedia for only $48.08 dollars per person, which is 5 yuan cheaper.

4. $55 for a Fast Lane; Admission and express pass is $82.

Transportation:

1. Parking fee: It is the same price online or offline: $20.

2. One way is you can take bus no. 29 and get off at the Beach Blvd and Crescent Station;

The other way is that you can take Metrolink Train and get off at Buena Park station and walk for 15 minutes.

Food:

1. Drinks in the park are more expensive. So bring your own water.

Coke is available for $15 at the park;

If you live locally, you can drink all year round for $36.

2. The pizza in the park is delicious, and the price is 8 dollars a piece.
