The Drive — LGB to Knott’s Berry Farm
Knott’s Berry Farm is located in Buena Park, roughly 18 miles from Long Beach Airport. The drive typically takes 25–40 minutes heading north on the 605 Freeway toward Beach Blvd.
Traffic considerations:
- Best: Before 8am or after 7pm — 20–30 min

LGB is the Best Airport for Knott’s Berry Farm
Most theme park travelers default to LAX or even LAX + shuttle services. LGB is significantly closer to Buena Park and the taxi rate reflects that:
| Airport | Approx. Distance to Knott’s | Flat-Rate Taxi |
|---|---|---|
| LGB | ~18 miles | $39 |
| LAX | ~30 miles | Higher rate |
| SNA | ~15 miles | Ask dispatch |
If JetBlue or another carrier serves your home city from LGB, running the numbers on LGB is worth it — especially when the ground transportation savings are this significant.
