Fact text
- Knott's Berry Farm, one of America's most famous theme parks, calls Buena Park home, making this suburb a serious contender for 'most fun city in Orange County.'
- For years, a giant red Nabisco sign loomed over the I-5 Freeway, and drivers could literally smell freshly baked Ritz Crackers, Honey Maid graham crackers, and Nilla Wafers wafting from the factory.
- Buena Park once housed one of the largest wax museums in the world, the Movieland Wax Museum, before it quietly melted away and closed in 2005.
- The city's name origin is charmingly mysterious: it may have been borrowed from a Chicago suburb, or it may come from a lovely artesian well that locals called 'Plaza Buena', 'good park.'
- Ralph B. Clark Regional Park sits atop a trove of Ice Age fossils, so a casual afternoon hike here is basically a stroll through prehistoric history.
