Knott’s Spooky Farm Celebrates the Halloween Season
By Erin
*We were given media tickets to go and enjoy Knott’s Spooky Farm for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions reman my own*
Knott’s Spooky Farm is here and it’s time to enjoy the spooktacular Halloween season! This family-friendly Halloween celebration is geared for kids ages 3-11. Families can join in on the ghoulish fun as the park is transformed 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, pumpkin decorating and the brand-new Calico Carnival Costume Cavalcade. In Ghost Town, little ghouls can trick-or-treat around the town’s shops and buildings to collect sweet treats from the friendly townsfolk. Knott’s Spooky Farm takes place on weekends through October 31st.
We took my niece to Spooky Farm for the first time and she had a blast! She has never gotten to go on rides yet since all the parks were closed the past year and change. Needless to say she LOVED it and now wants to go on ALL the rides.
You can find Charlie Brown, his best friend Snoopy and the beloved PEANUTS Gang celebrating the spooky holiday with their own Halloween costumes at special meet & greets and fun photo encounters throughout Camp Snoopy. Kids ages 3 -11 can participate in a memorable trick-or- treating experience available along Ghost Town’s Main Street and Schoolhouse Road. 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. In Ghost Town, Stanley Scarecrow has opened the Livery Stable for guests of all ages to get close and personal with the Creepy Critters of Calico.
It was my niece’s first time trick-or-treating, she caught on fast. She wanted to go up to everyone afterwards for more trick-or-treating. At the schoolhouse she was so sweet, she wanted to share her candy with the teacher! But of course… NO EATING is allowed in class! lol *She had a super cute Super Woman costume, but it was very hot out that day, so she didn’t want to wear it.*
Whimsical jack-o-lanterns surround Calico Park as it changes into an enchanting Pumpkin Patch location for families to enjoy the atmosphere of the season with photo ops and crafters. Miniature pumpkins or Halloween cookies can be decorated for a nominal fee. Linus can be spotted at the pumpkin patch, helping little ones pick out their very own perfect pumpkin. Gals and ghouls are in for a treat as new fun Halloween-themed shows are in store with the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre Show at Birdcage Theatre. These peculiar puppeteers will amaze all with a spooky puppet show.
At Camp Snoopy, families can hop aboard the Grand Sierra Railroad, joining Linus in the Pumpkin Patch as he and Sally await the arrival of The Great Pumpkin because Halloween isn’t complete without this timeless tale from the Peanuts Gang. Additionally, The Camp Snoopy Theater is debuting 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.
Iced Pumpkin Spice Coffee Punch anyone? Pumpkin Spice and everything nice! It’s that time of year again, aka “Pumpkin Spice Season” or fall but we don’t really have a real ‘fall’ here in Southern California with pretty fall colors and cooler weather like everyone else does, so we have to enjoy all the fall flavors we can! It’s supposed to be in the high 80s and possibly will hit 90 degrees again by the end of this week, so how’s that for fall weather? 😉
