Picture of Knott's Berry Farm Halloween decorationKnott's Scary Farm starts Friday September 24th!! Dates & info about the 2010 Knott's Scary Farm event have been released and are available below under the "hours" section of this page. The opening night for the 2010 Knott's Berry Farm is Friday September 24th. The chills & thrills continue every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night through Sunday, October 31st (Halloween night.) There is NO Halloween Haunt held on Mondays and Tuesdays, or on Wednesday, September 29.

Knotts Scary Farm discount tickets are on sale at the Knotts Haunt website! The Knott's official website has a print-at-home ticket sale going on. You can save a substantial sum of money by purchasing your tickets online before the event. The Halloween Haunt web-only ticket deal ranges in price from $33.00 to $50.00, depending on which night you plan to attend...and that is certainly better than paying the $50 price for presale tickets at the gate, or $56 on the day of the event!

Knotts Scary Farm discount coupons were available at Burger King! What if you don't want to purchase advance tickets on the Knott's website? There is another option for Knott's Haunt discounts: you can drop by your local Burger King & grab a Knott's Scary Farm discount coupon! You may use these Scary Farm coupons from Burger King at the Knott's ticket booths on the evening you attend the event. No debit or credit card is necessary to use them; cash is just fine. Simply bring your BK coupons to the park's ticket booths to redeem them. How much is the Burger King discount? It depends on which night you plan to go to Knott's Scary Farm. Certain nights get a bigger discount than others with the BK coupon...the dates farthest from Halloween night and/or weekday evenings.

On this page, we'll talk about two different Knott's Berry Farm Halloween celebrations: the cute Camp Spooky for kids, and the Knott's Scary Farm for teens & adults. The first half of the page will be about Camp Spooky. For Knott's Halloween Haunt information, please see the 2nd half of this page.

Knotts Halloween -- Adorable "Camp Spooky" for kids!

If you love cute kid's Halloween celebrations, you'll surely enjoy Knotts Berry Farm's "Camp Spooky."

Here's a list of the special attractions you can expect to find at the Knott's Camp Spooky Halloween party...but, remember...these events will happen only on Saturdays and Sundays during October every year, between the hours of 10 am and 5 pm. Camp Spooky is always a weekend-only activity.

* Snoopy's Costume Party! Snoopy's Costume Party is the name of Knott's Berry Farm's annual non-scary Halloween celebration for kids. One highlight of this attraction---as you probably guessed---is a costume parade in which kids can show off their fun disguises!

* Trick or Treat stations! At several different trick or treating booths, your children can pick up some Halloween candy.

* Haunted Harvest Maze! For kids feeling a bit adventuresome, they can try out the park's kiddie maze (with you by their side, of course!)

Head to the Camp Spooky stage, where you'll find that the "usual" music-and-dancing show (featuring large costumed Peanuts characters, like Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus) has been replaced with a special Halloween show! Want to dance and sing along with your favorite Halloween songs? Don't worry--you can!

* Peanuts characters in Halloween costumes! Your kids will be able to meet 'n' greet the Peanuts characters strolling thoughout the Camp Snoopy section of Knott's Berry Farm---and the characters will have on their Halloween costumes! What a great opportunity for taking adorable photos of the kids!

* Camp Spooky Crafts Depot! Camp Spooky/Snoopy will have an arts 'n crafts station where kids can create their own fun projects.

* The Linus Foam-tastic Pumpkin Patch! There will be a play area where kids can get a little wiggly if they want...and have some fun with bubbles.

Knotts Halloween -- Knott's Camp Spooky FAQ's

Photo of Scream costume my grandson wore to Knotts Berry Farm's Camp Spooky...but he had to take off the mask! 1.) Question: Can kids wear costumes to the Knott's Camp Spooky event? Yes, kids age 11 and under may wear costumes; adults should not wear costumes. One rule for dressing your kids in costume for the Knott's Halloween Party is "keep their faces showing." No masks allowed! (My grandson's Scream mask had to come off when he wore his Scream costume to Camp Spooky.)

2.) Question: What are the days and hours of the Camp Spooky celebration at Knott's Berry Farm? Answer: Camp Spooky is a weekend-only celebration. (There aren't enough crowds mid-week during the fall at Knotts Berry Farm to stage a full-scale event.) During weekdays, you'll still find many rides open, the Snoopy costumed character waiting to meet and greet you, and you'll be able to enjoy the area's cute Halloween decorations. Lines during the daytime in October are short; even without the Camp Spooky activities going on, it's a great time to visit the park!

3.) Question: Will the kiddie rides be operating? Answer: Yes, many rides will be operating in Camp Spooky, and all stores/restaurants will be in operation, as well. Camp Snoopy offers a wide array of rides...some for "kiddies only," and others for the whole family to enjoy together. If you'd like to see photos of the rides & get details about them (eg. minimum height requirements,) then head to the Knott's Camp Snoopy Rides page of this website. Visitors to Camp Spooky do not have to remain in that area of the park; they may head to any ride or attraction at Knotts Berry Farm that they wish to enjoy.

4.) Question: How much does the Camp Spooky kids' party cost? Answer: The Camp Spooky events come included with the price of general admission to the Knott's Berry Farm theme park. So, you may enjoy all events without paying any extra fees!

If you have a child with an October birthday, this is a great time to hold a Knott's Berry Farm birthday celebration. You can find out reserving the Camp Snoopy party room (in the Lucy's Lunchbox Restaurant) and other details about the Knott's birthday packages on the Knotts Berry Farm Birthday Parties page of this website.

Question: What Snoopy and Peanuts Character Halloween Merchandise is available at Knotts? Answer: Peanuts and Snoopy fans will be in 7th heaven during Halloween time at Knotts. Both the Peanuts character store in Camp Snoopy AND the Snoopy Store (just outside the theme park's gates in the California Marketplace; no park admission needed) feature absolutely charming Halloween items...such as the Snoopy Halloween stuffed animal you see in the photo to your right. The Camp Snoopy store inside the park seems to "sell out" faster than the Snoopy store outside the main gates. Always check both stores to discover the biggest selection!

* Pictures of Knotts Camp Spooky: Some of the best photos of the Camp Spooky celebration that are available on the internet were taken in 2005. These can be found on the ThemeParkAdventure.com website. Here's a link to that site: Photos of Camp Spooky events at Knott's Berry Farm.

Knotts Halloween -- Knott's Scary Farm Halloween Haunt



In the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of Knotts Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt. If your family has grown up a bit...in other words, if your kids are now teens, your family might enjoy heading to the biggest Halloween theme park event on Planet Earth: The Knott's Berry Farm Halloween Haunt. Note: Knott's Scary Farm is NOT for kids; leave the youngsters and tweens at home.

You'll find that the Knott's Halloween Haunt is scary indeed! Even if you don't scare easily, the 1 to 2 hour waits for mazes and roller coasters are enough to make your skin blanche! Fighting your way through wall-to-wall crowds will raise the hair on your heads!

Just joking...well, sort of. The Knott's folks put on a darned good show for lovers of the macabre...and it's VERY well attended. Trying to enjoy Knott's Halloween Haunt on a Friday or Saturday evening is like trying to enjoy Disneyland on a midsummer's day---a bit daunting.

How to beat the crowds: Try to go on a Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday (the crowds are a bit thinner.) Arrive early (at opening time) and/or stay late...because the crowds do take awhile to build up, and the crowds sometimes dwindle a bit before closing time. Another way to enjoy a less-crowded experience is to go to Knott's Scary Farm several weeks before Halloween. The closer it gets to Halloween Night, the more the crowds build up. Also, lines for the Knott's parking lot can be horrible, too. Parking lines and park entrance lines can eat away at the the time you have available for attractions. You may begin to park as early as you'd like for no additional parking fee. (After all, Knotts Berry Farm is open all day during its "regular," non-scary hours of operation.)

    Knotts Halloween -- Knott's Scary Farm Attractions

    List of Knott's Mazes (Haunted Houses) for 2010

    Halloween Costumes from Spirit Halloween
    At the Knott's Halloween Haunt, you'll find special macabre-themed shows and mazes. You'll also find several Halloween-themed rides, plus "scary zones" where monsters roam free, and Halloween-themed decorations everywhere.

    New attractions at Knotts Scary Farm for 2010 will be---

    1.) Virus Z (location, Fiesta Plaza)

    2.) Fallout Shelter (location, the lake)

    3.) Sleepy Hollow Mountain at the log flume ride



    Mazes returning from last year are--

    1.) Uncle Bobo's Big Top of the Bizarre in 3-D; location will be near the Xcelerator

    2.) Dia de los Muertos in 3-D, which features a Mexican Day of the Dead theme; location, bumper cars.

    Note: The 3D glasses cost extra for those mazes which offer 3D special effects...but the small fee is worth it.

    3.) Terror of London featuring Jack the Ripper and Dr. Jekyll; location, The Mystery Lodge (near the whitewater rafting ride)

    4.) Lockdown: The former Asylum maze gets an update to become a high-security penitentiary for the criminally insane. Location: near Ghostrider wooden roller coaster. maze

    There are a "jillion" more things to say about the Knott's Halloween Haunt. Here are a couple of other websites you may wish to check out:

    1.) Knott's official website---You should definitely check out the Knott's Berry Farm's official website & Halloween Haunt web pages. You can find out prices and specials, buy tickets, find out about combo dinner-and-haunt packages (that let you into the park early!), and Knott's Resort Hotel Halloween specials. You may use the following link to view the Knott's Berry Farm official website. (Note: Halloween Haunt info is NOT available year-round at this website; only when it gets close to Halloween season.)

    2.) Ultimate Haunt website---On the other hand, you may also want to check out an UNofficial Halloween Haunt website...to get the REAL low-down and people's opinions of the celebration. In my opinion, the website called "UltimateHaunt.com" is the very best on the web. If you only have time to read one website about the Halloween Haunt (other than the "official" website, of course), then this is the one I'd recommend. It tells you details about every attraction at the Knott's Halloween Haunt, plus shows you tons of photos. You may use the following link to look through the website of Ultimate Haunt, the best unofficial Knott's Halloween Haunt Site on the web.

    And don't forget to check out the 2 pages of Knotts Scary Farm photos right here on THIS website:

  • Knotts Scary Farm Pics: where you'll see photos of the monsters and eerie decorations of Ghost Town

  • Knotts Halloween Haunt Pictures, pt 2: for photos of Carnevil and other scare zones, decorations & rides
