KNOTT’S SCARY FARM
STARTS SEPTEMBER 17
SELECT NIGHTS SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER
BUENA PARK, CA
Knott's Scary Farm is widely considered the birthplace of the modern Halloween theme park event. Since 1973, Knott's has transformed its historic Ghost Town into a fog-filled nightmare featuring world-class haunted mazes, roaming monsters, immersive scare zones, sinister shows, and some of Southern California's most thrilling rides operating in the dark. Every corner of the park becomes part of the story, creating one of the most immersive Halloween experiences anywhere.
Fest Tip: If you're serious about experiencing as many mazes as possible, Fright & Fast Lane is well worth the upgrade—especially on Fridays, Saturdays, or later in October. It dramatically reduces wait times, giving you more opportunities to explore scare zones, catch a show, and enjoy nighttime rides instead of spending the evening in line.
