Missing imageCamp_Snoopy.jpg Camp Snoopy, February 2000
(originally
Knott's Camp Snoopy) is the seven acre (28,000 m²) themed
amusement park located in the center of the
Mall of America, in
Bloomington, Minnesota, themed around the
Charles M. Schulz "
Peanuts"
comic strip characters. Camp Snoopy is solely lit by a glass ceiling, which is also the primary heating source for the Mall of America. It was originally built by
Knott's Berry Farm, but has been managed by the Mall of America since early
2005. Unlike many indoor amusement parks, Camp Snoopy has a great deal of natural foliage in and about the park, and its floor has a wide variance in height - the highest ground level in the park is 15 feet above the lowest. This allows for a far more naturalistic experience than would normally be possible in an indoor amusement park.
Camp Snoopy is also a themed land at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, which features similarly themed attractions predominantly designed for children. See the subheading in the Knott's Berry Farm article for more information.
The Park has some smaller roller coasters, but mainly has static rides due to space constraints. Near a shooting gallery is the site of home plate for old Met Stadium
