8 Awesome Reasons To Take Little Kids To Knott’s Spooky Farm

Last weekend my family headed to Knott’s Spooky Farm to enjoy a spooktacular day at one of our favorite theme parks. Halloween can overwhelming and bit be hard on a little kids. There’s the costumes, loads of candy which are fun, but there’s also the ghastly gory stuff that can be a bit much for little ones. Not fun, especially for sensitive children…

Every year when Halloween rolls around, my son old feels completely left out of the Halloween loop, and he feels limited to the events he can participate in. They are just too spooky for him and or not age appropriate. Oh and the sadness he experiences when mom and his older sisters head to Knott’s Scary Farm…

I am always looking for kid friendly Halloween activities that my son can participate in, that won’t end with him sleeping in my bed or waking us up with a nightmare. I don’t want him to miss out on the spooky fun, and I want all my kiddos to have an awesome Halloween experience!

We hit some pretty awesome spots in the theme park that I want to share with you!

Thank you Knott’s Berry Farm for Inviting my family to #KnottsSpookyFarm. All opinions are my own.

About Knott’s Spooky Farm

Knott’s Berry Farm offers a daytime non-scary event of cheer rather than fear with activities all geared for young kids ages 3-11. Both children and parents LOVE Knott’s Spooky Farm, and the admission is included when you purchase your Knott’s Berry Farm entry. Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 29 – Oct. 28, and Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018.

1. Timber Mountain Log Ride

Oooh!

The Timber Mountain Log Ride (my personal favorite), converts into the Halloween Hootenanny. Knott’s has added a new friendly twist to this awesome ride. Every year the citizens of the Timber Mountain invite the creatures that live out in the woods and caverns of the area to join them as they celebrate the season at the Halloween Hootenanny.

These ghoulish gals were super friendly and photo ready!

2. Trick-or-Treating

My cute panda bear got his candy fix in Ghost Town! Kids ages 3-11 can participate in Trick-or-Treating throughout Ghost Town, and interact with spooky but friendly Shopkeepers.

3. Costume Contest

Do you like to BOO-gie?

Head on to Camp Snoopy Theater to show off your best Halloween costume at the Peanuts Costume Contest and afterwards, join your favorite Peanuts characters in a fun Peanuts Dance Party!

4. Creepy Critters of Calico

New this year!

Stanley Scarecrow has opened the Livery Stable for guests to get close and personal with the Creepy Critters of Calico.

5. Dia de Los Muertos Celebration

In Fiesta Village, join the Dia de Los Muertos Celebration in the Fiesta Stage area. The themed area offers a walk through village filled with photo ops, educational activities and face paintings ( for a nominal fee). I love to see all the colorful calaveras (skulls) in the gift shop…

6. The Monsters Are Coming Show

Families can watch the Peanuts Gang in “The Monsters Are Coming, Charlie Brown,” where guests can sing and dancing along to classic Halloween music…So much fun!

7. Pumpkin Patch

Decorate your own pumpkin in Calico Park. Children can participate for a small fee. My son really enjoyed this activity!

8. A Trip To Camp Spooky on The Grand Sierra Railroad

The Grand Sierra Railroad in Camp Snoopy transforms to a one-of-a-kind experience which takes riderson an adventure, along with the Peanuts Gang, to Camp Spooky with added special Halloween theming effects.

It’s ROASTING HOT! Cool Off This Summer At Knott’s Soak City In Buena Park

It’s 110 degrees outside and its ROASTING hot, YIKES! What am I going to do with the kids to keep them cool? AC is turned on, we’ve eaten way too many popsicles, and being indoors is the pits. My teen daughter is on her cell phone again, and I can’t get her off. Grrr… My son yelled, “MOM, I’m hot and I’m bored!” I thought for a few seconds and had a solution, “Let’s go to Knott’s Soak City!” Our favorite Waterpark re-opened with a BIG splash this summer, and it’s the perfect splash-tacular place to cool off in this scorchio heat.

We then headed to the park to chill out and play! Andrew rides the water slides, even the big scary ones. He’s a daredevil and has no fear. I sit with my big floppy hat, drink a raspberry sweet tea, and float on the Lazy River. I look at my pale legs and think, gosh I need a tan. My daughter lays next to me, a slurpee in hand, “THUS IS GREAAAT MAMA!” she says with a mouthful of ice. I laugh. This is sooo nice… I ask myself, “Why didn’t we come sooner?”

Disclosure: Thank You Knott’s Soak City for Inviting my family to cool off at your waterpark. All Opinions are my own.

The waterpark is bigger and better than ever before, and we love it!

Knott’s Berry Farm For The Cure-Through March 5th

I’ve seen many loved ones battle Breast Cancer and it’s frighting. The thought of this dreadful illness seems unbearable to me. Watching family and friends go through this ordeal is precisely why I am so happy that Knott’s Berry Farm is partnering with Susan G. Komen to raise funds for breast cancer awareness, research, screenings, and treatment education.

Thanks Knott’s Berry Farm for supporting “For The Cure” benefiting Susan G. Komen. All opinions are my own.

FOR EVERY “PINK TICKET” PURCHASED, KNOTT’S WILL DONATE A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS TO CANCER RESEARCH, TREATMENT, AND SERVICES.

Knott’s Berry Farm For The Cure-Through March 5th

Over a half of Latinas detected with breast cancer are diagnosed in very late stages of the illness. Mammograms are crucial in the early detection of breast cancer. Early treatment can prevent the spread of this terrible disease. Many women are uninsured and not screened annually. In some cases women cannot afford the costs of screenings or treatment.

Get Your Your Tickets!

Now through March 5th, Knott’s Berry Farm and Susan G Komen are working together to raise money for breast cancer awareness, services and research by offering special “Pink Tickets” and commemorative Knott’s for the Cure t-shirts.

75% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen are used to provide local services throughout Orange County:

Breast cancer detection and treatment education
Information and support for breast cancer survivors and families
Funding for free mammograms for uninsured and underserved women

25% of the funds raised for Susan G. Komen support national research to discover the cure for breast cancer.

Both the Calico Mine Ride and Supreme Scream will glow #KnottsPink now through March 5th.

The Peanuts gang proudly wears PINK to show their support and you should too!

The “Pink” Knott’s Berry Farm for the Cure commemorative t-shirt is available at select locations in the park with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen Orange County.

The Peanuts gang proudly wears PINK to show their support and you should too!
