Halloween Fun at Camp Spooky @Knotts #CampSpooky

Halloween Fun at Camp Spooky at Knott’s Berry Farm!

Camp Spooky

The other weekend I was able to treat my good friend and her daughter, who was getting ready to celebrate her 7th birthday, to some Camp Spooky fun! Kids can dress up for this, special occasion, so which will it be? Pirate, witch, Snoopy, or my personal favorite, a cowboy? ;). This is a daytime, non-scare celebration, filled with cheer rather than fear, with halloween themed shows, activities and of course, a costume contest that’s all created with children in mind, ages 3-11. Let’s take a look at some of the spooky fun!

CampSpooky Potion Parlour

Kids of all ages can explore their spooky side at the “Potion Parlour,” which is a fun Kool-Aid mixing station where kids use witches cauldrons to create their special potions, and then pour them into test tubes to create “Friendship Potions” and other fun potions. *A small additional fee is required for this experience.*

CS Potions

Here’s the fun potion that Chey made! It’s her “Power Potion” that she said was a Vampire Potion to keep the vampires away. 😉

Snoopys Costume Parade

Kids can take part in “Snoopy’s Costume Party and Parade” and also visit the Camp Spooky Theatre to view Charlie Brown’s new Halloween show where everyone will be singing and dancing in the aisles to all their favorite Halloween tunes. All participants receive a ribbon like the one Chey got here! Some lucky ghouls and goblins will receive special prizes handed out by the Peanuts Gang too! Look who Snoopy chose in the middle! 😉

KnottsCampSnoopy

Did you know that this year marks the 30th Anniversary of Camp Snoopy?  Camp Snoopy officially opened on July 1, 1983 on the site of a former parking lot at the corner of Beach Boulevard and La Palma Avenue. Themed to the California High Sierras, the six-acre children’s area was designed by the Knott’s Berry Farm Design and Planning team. To celebrate this special occasion, Darrell Anderson (Grandson of Walter and Cornelia Knott), Craig Schultz(Son of Charles Schultz) and the whole Peanuts Gang were on hand to kick off the Grand Re-Opening festivities! All of Camp Snoopy has had a wonderful make-over and three new rides have been added! Now lets take a peak at what these rides look like! Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer, The Linus Launcher, and Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies.
