Halloween is one of the best times to visit Knott’s Berry Farm. While most of my readers withou young children won’t be visiting during the evening for #ScaryFarm, there is a daytime option for the entire family. During weekends in October, the park transforms into the all-ages Knott’s Spooky Farm, featuring kid friendly fun. There is trick or treating, spooky fun entertainment and delicious treats to be had all around the park.
We enjoyed the park on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. The crowds were light and the energy was fun. We have not been able to spend such a nice day together as a family in awhile, so this was an extra special treat. We tried to catch all the special Spooky Farm activities so we could share them with you. Below is our list of things you don’t wanna miss during your trip this season!
Knott’s Spooky Farms’ friendly monsters can be found haunting along Main Street in Ghost Town. This is where kids can do some trick-or-treating for tasty sweets. The streets are full of fun ghosts, not there to scare but to pose for pictures and chat with the little ones. You can see one of them in the top left picture above.
This is the 50th anniversary of the animated classic Peanuts, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!, kids can join Linus and Sally in Ghost Town with special Halloween themed activities like decorating their very own pumpkin head, for a nominal fee.
The frightful fun continues in Camp Snoopy where the Peanuts gang host a spooktacular costume contest every day at 3:45 PM which invites families to bring their festively costumed children for some Halloween fun!
The Camp Spooky Theatre hosts the Peanuts Gang in The Monsters Are Coming, Charlie Brown, where they’ll have guests of all ages singing and dancing along to classic Halloween tunes.
My kiddos had a great time exploring the kid-friendly Spooky Hollow Maze in Camp Snoopy which offers an trip through a spooky forest with larger-than-life jack-o-lanterns.
New this year, the Ghastly Gallery hosted in the Boardwalk Ballroom, welcomes little ghouls to enter a monstrous museum where they can explore spooky culture and even have the artistic opportunity to display their “monsterpieces” and visit the Monsterpiece Theatre. There are some great photo opportunities to be found inside.
