Ultimate Vegan Guide to Knott’s Berry Farm

Did you know that before Knott’s Berry Farm became a theme park, it was a roadside berry stand and chicken restaurant dating back to the 1930s? Over the decades, Knott’s Berry Farm transformed into a wildly popular theme park known for its thrilling coasters, entertaining shows, boysenberry-flavored treats—and now, vegan options! Without further ado, here is our ultimate vegan guide to Knott’s Berry Farm.

Please note that some of these items may not be listed on the restaurant menus, and are made to order so you may have to request them from a staff member specifically.
