Knott’s Spooky Farm Returns with Even More Halloween Fun for Everyone

Knott’s Spooky Farm Returns with Even More Halloween Fun for Everyone, Expanding the Days to Thursdays through Sundays Starting September 29, 2022.

Halloween season at Knott's Berry Farm is almost upon us! This year, Knott’s Spooky Farm will be bigger and better with a newly expanded family-friendly Halloween celebration. Families can join in on the ghoulish fun as the park transforms with themed décor and wicked fun around every corner. The fall Season of Fun offers Halloween-themed activities that celebrate the season, including trick-or-treating, a line-up of original shows and pumpkin decorating. Knott's Spooky Farm will be taking place Thursdays through Sundays this year, starting September 29 through October 31. The best part is the event is included with your season pass or daily admission.

Expanded Trick or Treating areas! Kids can participate in a memorable trick-or-treating experience along Ghost Town's Main Street, Schoolhouse Road and Gold Mine Trail. 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.

The Livery Stable will be hosts once again to the Creepy Critters of Calico. Spiders, bugs and more await at our Creepy Critters Corral. Whimsical jack-o-lanterns surround Calico Park as it changes into an enchanting Pumpkin Patch location for families to enjoy the season's atmosphere with photo ops. Guests can get in the spirit by decorating their very own themed cookie or pumpkin right in the heart of Ghost Town. Miniature pumpkins or Halloween cookies will be available for a nominal fee.

Be sure to be dressed in your Halloween Costume! Besides all the amazing spots to take some super cute Halloween pictures, 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.

Shows! The Bob Baker Marionette Theatre Show is back with their Halloween-themed show at Birdcage Theatre. These peculiar puppeteers will amaze all with a spooky puppet show that will have little ones and adults entertained all day.

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

More Halloween Overlays! Timber Mountain Log Ride will celebrate the Halloween Hootenanny creating a family-friendly seasonal twist to this park favorite. Every year the citizens of Timber Mountain invite the mysterious creatures that live out in the woods to join them as they celebrate the season at the Halloween Hootenanny. The ride's interior features surprise after surprise 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 – all set around an original song performed by Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies.

The fun continues for little ones at the Calico Mine Ride as it undergoes a fantastical transformation into a candy wonderland! Grab a seat to explore the caves and caverns for candy confections but keep an eye out for the elusive Pink Fairy.

Last but not least… Head down to the Gold Mine Trail just beyond Ghostrider, where the expanded trick-or-treating stops continue. There you will also find carnival games and ghoulish treats to enjoy that are specially curated for this spooky season. And remember, Knott's Spooky Farm is included with regular park admission daytime Thursdays through Sundays, September 29 – October 31, 2022.

Tips for visiting Spooky Farm: Try to arrive to the park upon opening. It’s cooler for your child if they are wearing a costume, less crowded and will allow you more time to enjoy the rest of the park after you have completed the Halloween activities you are interested in. Reminder: Park hours are shorter than normal due to the Scary Farm event that happens in the evenings. I would suggest bringing a change of clothes if your childs costume is hot or not comfortable to enjoy rides in and to remember to bring comfy shoes. If you don’t want to carry around extra clothes, there are lockers available to rent next to Guest Services.
