So should you bring a water bottle to Knott’s Berry Farm? Yes. Absolutely. But bring the right one—a plain, clear, plastic, BPA-free 20-ounce bottle that looks like it came from a hospital gift shop. Fill it at the hotel. Refill it at the free water station near the log ride. And for the love of all that is holy, leave the mason jar at home.
You’ll save thirty dollars, you’ll avoid a dehydration-induced headache, and you’ll have enough energy left to ride the Calico Mine Ride for the fourth time. Just don’t drink from the fountain near the restrooms by the boardwalk. Trust me on that one. That water tastes like a memory of a chicken wing.
