Knott’s Scary Farm Celebrates 52nd Season

Knott’s Scary Farm 2025. My Favorite Nightmare Returns for Its 52nd Season 👻
Scary Farm has a special place in my heart. I’ve been covering this ghoulish gem for over a decade now, and every fall it feels like coming home, if “home” were crawling with monsters, fog, and blood-curdling screams. The above photo is from way back in 2013 when I actually got to join the monsters for a group photo, and I swear, their twisted smiles have haunted me ever since.
This year, Knott’s Scary Farm celebrates 52 years of turning nightmares into reality and trust me, they’re not slowing down. Running select nights Sept. 18 through Nov. 1, 2025, the event promises 28 nights of bone-chilling fun with 10 terrifying mazes, 5 sinister scare zones, and 3 shows that will leave you shaking (and maybe laughing nervously) all night long.
🕯️ New Mazes for 2025
Mary – The Haunting of Worth Home
Step inside a once-beautiful home haunted by Mary, who was violently murdered and buried alive after the tragic loss of her family. She’s back, along with her army of nightmarish creatures, and revenge is the only thing on their minds.
The Zoo
An abandoned zoo has been taken over by animal/human hybrid experiments gone horribly wrong. The cages are open, the mutants are angry, and rumor has it they’re planning something monstrous.
