Disney might be the happiest place on Earth but it's not the only amusement park that deserves your attention. If you've already enjoyed the thrills at Universal Studios and one of the many Six Flags locations across the country, consider visiting an underrated amusement park on your next thrill-seeking vacation.

With plenty of high-speed coasters, costumed characters, and all the fair food you could ever want, these underrated amusement parks won't disappoint.  

Knott's Berry Farm was California's first theme park.

California's first theme park isn't one to disregard. Located in Buena Park, Knott's Berry Farm began as a small berry farm that slowly expanded into the tenth most visited theme park in North America. With tickets starting at $46, Knott's Berry Farm offers dozens of West Wild-themed rides and shows for visitors to enjoy. Make sure to grab one of their famous fried chicken dinners and some homemade jam before you leave.



Cedar Point is worth the trip.

Ohio is for lovers — and there's arguably no better date spot than Cedar Point. Sandusky's pride and joy, this theme park offers over 20 thrilling coasters and amusement park rides for you to enjoy. As the 14th most visited theme park in North America as of 2017, it's no surprise that visitors keep coming back. If you're a first-time visitor to Cedar Point, the park has graciously rated their top five coasters, with the 93 MPH Millennium Force topping the list.

This year, the park is offering visitors the chance to pay "kids price," with daily tickets starting at $45.



Dollywood is a Tennessee treasure.

Owned by Dolly Parton, Dollywood is a must-visit stop for Tennessee locals and tourists alike. Located on 150 acres in the Smoky Mountains, this underrated amusement park boasts 40 exciting rides and dozens of awards— including the friendliest park, best food, and best entertainment. For just under $70, guests can enjoy all the 150-acre park's offerings.
