Which Knott's Halloween events for you?

Fun Camp Spooky...or the terrifying Knott's Scary Farm?

Knotts Scary Farm discount tickets: Every year, there are two good ways to save money when you visit the Knott's Halloween Haunt.

The first way is by pre-purchasing your tickets on the Knott's official website. Every year their site has a print-at-home ticket sale when it get close to Haunt time. You can save a substantial sum of money by purchasing your tickets online before the event...rather than waiting until you reach the Knott's ticket booths on the day of the event.

Knotts Scary Farm discount coupons are also available at Burger King every year. 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. The maximum discount is $23. Certain nights get a bigger discount than others with the BK coupon...the dates farthest from Halloween night and/or weekday evenings get the biggest discounts.

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!

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!)

* The Peanuts Halloween show! 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

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.) Camp Spooky's special events are held on Saturdays and Sundays during October during normal Knott's Berry Farm theme park hours.

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.

5.) 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!

Knott's Halloween Haunt...AKA

Knott's Scary Farm!

Knott's Scary Farm is one of Southern California's scariest Halloween events. In fact, it's the oldest and longest continuously-running theme park Halloween event in the USA! Knott's Haunt has more haunted houses than other theme parks, more decorations, more monsters and more operating dates than other comparable events you've attended elsewhere.

One of Knott's Scary Farm's greatest strengths is its legion of monsters and scare-actors. The actors' makeup and costumes are still individualized here; no teams of characters all dressed and acting alike. (How can monsters be scary if they're outfitted as uniformly as a football team?)

Many of Knott's Scary Farm's actors appear year after year and develop their characters further with each passing year. Sure, the park may be full of blood 'n guts...but there's still nothing scarier than a truly unsuspected "Boo!" And, the Knott's scare-actors make that happen!

Knott's Haunt is crowded...so be prepared!

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 2011

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 2011 will be---

1.) Endgames: Warriors of the Apocalypse The scenario is that the Earth as we know it has ended, and survivors face a fierce and bloodthirsty new world

2.) Invasion Beneath (location, the Calico Mine Train.) Spiders are out at the mine train ride this year...and Black Widow's Cavern is being transformed into a different type of scary ride. This year's "Invasion Beneath" ride will feature strange & terrifying creatures from the center of the earth creeping up through the fissures and caves inside the deep mine pit!

3.) Delirium: This new haunted maze features scary images from inside of your deepest, darkest nightmares.



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

Scare Zones in 2011: Also, in addition to the haunted mazes, Knott's Scary Farm will have several different scare zones...all crawling with monsters waiting to sneak up & make you scream! This year's new Scare Zone will be called Gypsy Camp, an area where werewolves abound...supposedly caught under the spell of an ancient gypsy curse.

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.
