Toys For Tots at Knotts Berry Farm

Knott's Berry Farm's Toys for Tots discount program is an annual event! It's coming up again during December, 2009 as part of Knott's Christmas celebration.

THE FIRST 3 WEEKENDS OF DECEMBER 2009 are the days that the Knott's Toys for Tots special program are in effect. To be specific, you can enjoy your FREE OR DISCOUNTED ADMISSION to the Knott's Berry Farm theme park on Saturday, December 5; Sunday, December 6; Saturday, December 12; Sunday, December 13; Saturday, December 19; and Sunday, December 20.


What kind of toy do you need to bring to Knott's Berry Farm's Toys for Tots program? Well, the rules are a bit different for 2009 than in previous years. For one thing, this year, any toy you bring must be worth $15 or more. As with previous years, these toys must be brand-new, unwrapped toys. Bring one for each member of your family who would will be visiting Knott's Berry Farm. HOWEVER, this year, when you bring a new toy you do NOT get free admission to Knott's Berry Farm; you get a discounted admission of $15 for each person bringing a toy.

Huh? Aren't you supposed to get FREE admission to Knott's in exchange for bringing a toy? Well, there are ways that you CAN get free admission this year...but bringing a toy that you purchased prior to your visit isn't one of them. Doing that will only get you DISCOUNTED admission this year. Well...too many people were trying to bring used toys and new-but-cheap toys. So now this year, the loopholes are being closed.

So, how DO you get the free Knott admission, then? There are 2 ways. (1) The first one is to buy your toy from a Knotts Berry Farm store. (There are several just outside the gates of the theme park, including a large Snoopy store.) You will need to spend $15 or more and keep your receipt to show at the gate. Since Knotts can verify how much their toys cost, it's harder for people to cheat.

(2) The second way is to buy your Toys For Tots tickets online. How can you buy a toy online for free admission? Well, you're not actually purchasing a TOY, in this case...you're making a $15 cash donation. There are special Knott's Toys for Tots day tickets for sale at Knotts.com; buy one for $15...and you'll automatically be making your donation AND be getting your theme park ticket all in one easy transaction. Another advantage of getting your Toys for Tots ticket online is that you can use it on ANY date between December 5th and 20th...and not just the 3 Saturdays and Sundays of the Toys for Tots special.

If you'd like to check out the special Toys for Tots tickets, here's a link to the "Knott's Berry Tickets" page of Knotts.com where they will remain on sale through December 20, 2009.

Knott's Berry Farm Christmas Crafts Fair

Once again, the "Ghost Town" section of Knott's will be turned into a Winter Wonderland. You'll be able to stroll past display after display of the finest handcrafted items that Knott's Berry Farm could scout out. PLUS, all the "regular" Knott's Ghost Town stores will be open, as well, showing off the Christmas time version of their beautiful wares. It's a holiday shopper's paradise!

Admission to the Knotts Berry Farm Christmas Crafts Fair comes included with your admission ticket to the theme park. In addition, the park will be offering "Crafts Fair Only" tickets again this year. (IF you visit Knott's Berry Farm any Monday through Friday during the holiday season, you may purchase a special low-priced Christmas Crafts Fair-ONLY ticket. However, on weekends---Saturdays and Sundays---you will need to purchase a regular theme park ticket...but you WILL get to enjoy the Christmas Crafts Village as part of your admission price.)

With your Crafts Fair Admission you'll also be able to visit Santa Claus during the days & hours when he's at the park. (Santa settles into Ghost Town near the Crafts Village whenever he visits Knott's Park.) You'll also be able to hear the strolling Christmas Carolers on the dates/times that they're performing, and see the Christmas stage plays at the Bird Cage Theater during their scheduled holiday performances, as well. Oh---and don't forget that you'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful Christmas Crafts Village decorations and nighttime sparkling twinkly lights, too! In other words, you'll pack in lots of family fun for a very affordable price!

Knotts Berry Farm Christmas--California Marketplace Gifts

Don't forget, though, that the Christmas Crafts Village Fair isn't the ONLY place to shop for holiday gifts at Knott's Berry Farm! Virginia's Gifts, a shop in the Knott's California Marketplace (just outside of Knott's Berry Farm) already has fresh new 2009 Christmas Holiday merchandise coming in! The adorable stuffed teddy bears that you see in the photo (below) come from Virginia's Gifts. However, Christmas Teddy Bears are just the BEGINNING of what you'll find at Virginia's Gift Shop!







You won't even believe the array of unique and clever gift items that are displayed at Virginia's. A shopping lover could pass an hour's worth of time inside of Virginia's Gifts...yet feel like only a few minutes had gone by! If you're looking for "something different" and something that your gift-recipients won't be able to find at the local shopping mall...give Virginia's Gifts a try.

Parking is free for California Marketplace shoppers. Close to the store, you'll find 15 minute and 1 hour curbside parking; and free 3 hour parking spots are available in a large parking lot whose entrance is just past the TGIF Restaurant (on your left.) There are always attendants directing traffic through the California Market Place section of Knott's Berry Farm, so if you have trouble finding a spot, just have the attendant point you in the right direction.

Knotts Jam & Syrup at the Berry Market Store!

At The Berry Market, you will find all of the Knotts wonderful family of food products....delicious jams, jellies, preserves, and fruity pancake syrups. You will be able to buy them individually or in gift pack sets...in small sizes or in large sizes which are not usually available at your local supermarket. If your family loves the high quality Knotts food products, this is your place to find a huge selection!

If you can't make it "in person" to buy your jars of Knott's Jam, Jelly or Preserves at the park, don't despair! You can order the great-tasting Knott's products right from the comfort of your own home. Complete instructions for ordering Knott's Jams are given on the "Knott's Directions and Information" page of this website! You'll learn how to order the product by phone, by mail, or online.

The Snoopy Christmas Holiday Ice Show will be back!

As always, you'll be able to see the adorably-costumed Snoopy character and his friends from the Peanuts comic strip whirling and twirling over the ice! Snoopy's ice show is a spectacular event that's fun for the entire family, from toddlers and preschoolers to Grandma and Grandpa!

For 2009, Snoopy's Ice Skating Show at Knott's will be held on selected dates throughout the Christmas holiday season through December 30th. Showtimes for the popular Peanuts Character ice skating show will be held at 1pm, 3pm and 5 pm; and extra 7pm show will be added to this schedule on Saturdays.

The cost of Snoopy's Christmas Ice Show at Knott's Berry Farm couldn't be better---it comes FREE with your park admission!

Peanuts merchandise at Knott's Berry Farm: If you love Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and the other Peanuts kids, remember that you will find some of the most extensive collections of Peanuts themed merchandise on planet Earth at Knotts Berry Farm! In the Camp Snoopy section of the Knotts theme park, there is an entire store devoted to Peanuts character merchandise. Also, in the California Marketplace...just outside of the theme park entrance...you will LOVE looking through the Snoopy Headquarters store, as seen in the photo to your right.

Mrs Knotts Christmas Dinner To Go

The Mrs. Knott's Take-out Christmas Meal includes enough food for 6 to 8 adults. You'll have a choice of either a roast turkey dinner (featuring a succulent 10 to 12 pound bird) or a juicy ham dinner (in which case, you'll get a 8 to 10 pound ham.)

For side dishes, your Mrs. Knott's take-home meal will include mashed potatos and gravy; yams with marshmallow topping; a cooked vegetable; one dozen of Mrs. Knott's famous yeast-raised rolls with butter and Knott's Jams; pickles; plus your choice of either a Knott's boysenberry pie (a specialty at Mrs Knott's Restaurant!) or a traditional pumpkin pie.

To get your feast, you'll have to order in advance---any time after Thanksgiving until a week before Christmas (at the latest!) Then, you'll need to arrive at the Mrs. Knott's Chicken Restaurant on December 24th to pick up your meal (as the restaurant won't be open on Christmas Day itself.)

To pre-order your Mrs Knott's feast to go, you should call the Mrs Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, phone number (714) 220-5080. You will reach a "live" employee at the restaurant by dialing this number; simply mention that you would like to order the Christmas Feast.

* Or, if you don't want to order an entire feast, you can get one of Mrs Knott's special boysenberry pies, a pumpkin pie, or any one of a large selection of pies and cakes at the Knott's Berry Farm Bakery! (Quite a variety of other treats are sold here, as well...like brownies, croissants, cookies and sweet rolls.)

You can even get a made-to-order theme cake, decorated by the professional cake decoraters at the Knott's Farm Bakery! To order your specialty cake, or to ask other questions of the bakery staff, you should call directly to the Knott's Berry Farm Bakery, phone number 714/220-5094. Or, you can head down to the bakery in-person. The bakery sits just to the side of Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant in the California Marketplace section of Knott's Berry Farm.

* What are some other Christmas dining options at Knott's Berry Farm? Well, on the Sunday before Christmas, you can enjoy a festive Christmas season meal at the Mrs Knott's Sunday Brunch!
