Knott’s Berry Farm Gets Spooky to Celebrate the Halloween Season

Knott’s Spooky Farm Celebrates the Halloween Season with Fun for Little Ones Starting September 25, 2021 at Knott’s Berry Farm

Knott’s Spooky Farm is all about family friendly Halloween fun for little ghouls ages 3-11 at Knott’s Berry Farm weekends, September 25 – October 31. The park transforms with themed décor and wicked fun around every corner and hosts an array of Halloween-themed activities that celebrate the season, including trick-or-treating, original shows, pumpkin decorating and the brand-new Calico Carnival Costume Cavalcade along with a new ride overlay.

Getting into the spirit of the season, Charlie Brown, his best friend Snoopy and the beloved PEANUTS Gang are all dressed up in their own Halloween costumes for special meet & greets and fun photo encounters throughout Camp Snoopy. Kids ages 3 -11 can participate in a memorable trick-or-treating experience available along Ghost Town’s Main Street and Schoolhouse Road. During trick-or-treating, kids will interact with an array of spooky but friendly shopkeepers as little ones have the opportunity to show off their festive Halloween costumes. In Ghost Town, Stanley Scarecrow has opened the Livery Stable for guests of all ages to get close and personal with the Creepy Critters of Calico.

Whimsical jack-o-lanterns surround Calico Park as it changes into an enchanting Pumpkin Patch location for families to enjoy the atmosphere of the season with photo ops and crafters. Miniature pumpkins or Halloween cookies will be available for decorating for a nominal fee.  Linus can be spotted at the pumpkin patch, helping little ones pick out their very own perfect pumpkin. Gals and ghouls are in for a treat as new fun Halloween-themed shows are in store with the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre Show at Birdcage Theatre. These peculiar puppeteers will amaze all with a spooky puppet show.

At Camp Snoopy, families can hop aboard the Grand Sierra Railroad, joining Linus in the Pumpkin Patch as he and Sally await the arrival of The Great Pumpkin because Halloween isn’t complete without this timeless tale from the Peanuts Gang. Additionally, The Camp Snoopy Theater is debuting the Great Pumpkin Palooza show, where you’ll get more than a rock as you join Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the Peanuts Gang for a high-energy music tribute to the best holiday ever, Halloween.

The residents of The Timber Mountain Log Ride will celebrate the Halloween Hootenanny, which adds a family-friendly seasonal twist to a park favorite. The ride’s interior will feature fun surprises as guests venture past the Calico Coffin Creeper band, the town’s green witch and splash down Skull Mountain through a labyrinth of jack-o-lanterns. The seasonal ride will also feature an original song performed by Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies. The Calico Mine Ride is getting a new overlay this year. The Calico Candy Mine Ride mysteriously transforms silver ore to pure candy. Little ghouls are also encouraged to strut their stuff and show off their Halloween Costumes in the Calico Carnival Costume Cavalcade hosted by the Calico Mayor and Cameo Kate at the Calico Mine Stage.

The Halloween fun is parkwide as Día de Los Muertos, ¡ViVir! takes over the Fiesta Plaza Stage. This festive show pays tribute to the Hispanic cultural celebration and traditions of Día de Los Muertos.

Knott’s Spooky Farm runs weekends September 25 – October 31 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and is included with regular park admission. Kids as well as parents alike are welcome to come dressed for the season during this daytime event and the best part, all the fun in included with your park admission.
