Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration 2022

Hi friends, I’m excited to share that Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration is back and better than ever! I grew up with the PEANUTS gang, and this celebration is very special for my familia. Charles M. Shulz’s comics are truly unique, and it is jaw dropping to see how Knott’s Berry Farm brings his comic strips ALIVE throughout our beloved theme park…

The photo-ops, themed treats, and the entertainment is sensational. For those of you that have not been, it’s a MUST! Take the entire family, and don’t miss this sensational celebration!

Now through March 6, 2022, guests can step into PEANUTS comic strips, as the gang takes over the entire park, with experiences that allow fans of all ages to play and interact with their favorite PEANUTS characters. The celebration also includes delicious PEANUTS-inspired food, reimagined live shows, new specially-themed décor, and the addition of a new friend to join in on all the fun.

Ohhhh and the rides!

Drew also looks forward to the rollercoasters and rides at Knott’s. His smile melts my heart every time. PRICELESS!

Take advantage of all the cool and fun comic photo ops! These kids loved posing for these pix. They seriously crack me up! Use #KnottsPeanutsCelebration hashtag at the park!

Knott’s Spooky Farm 2019 is Spook-tacular!

This week my son and his friends headed to Knott’s Spooky Farm, to enjoy a spooktacular day at one of our favorite theme parks. Halloween can be a bit too scary for kids when it comes to theme parks. Frightening, bloody stuff is never fun for my little ghost. Luckily, Knotts Spooky Farm always has the perfect balance of traditional Halloween amusement, with just a touch of family-friendly spook.

My family and I are Halloween fanatics and love participating in all things Halloween. However, with my youngest son, we struggle to find age-appropriate things to do. Even after watching movies like Casper the Ghost, my little ghost still somehow ends up in my bed at night! (yes, it’s still just a little too scary.) With Knotts Spooky Farm, we never have this problem! It’s just one parade of fun!

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

We hit some wonderful #spooktacular spots in the theme park that I want to share with you!

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. Knott’s Spooky Farm runs September 28 – October 27 and Thursday, October 31, 2019.

Trick-or-Treating and Costume contests!

My son and his crew got their candy fix in Ghost Town! Kids ages 3-11 can participate in Trick-or-Treating throughout Ghost Town, and interact with friendly, dressed-up Shopkeepers. While also enjoying the Camp Snoopy Theater Peanuts Costume Contest. After all that fun, the kids were able to join their favorite Peanuts characters at a fun Peanuts Dance Party!

As we walked around, we stumbled upon Calico Park- where we found a Pumpkin patch! This location is for families and friends to have an opportunity to personalize miniature jack-o-lanterns and decorate scrumptious cookies along with Linus from the PEANUTS gang. My son and his friends couldn’t resist eating delicious cookies, while creating their jack-o-lantern masterpieces!

After our delicious treats at Calico Park, we headed back to Camp Snoopy, and hopped aboard the Grand Sierra Railroad! We experienced a one-of-kind adventure along Camp Spooky with the PEANUTS gang. We spotted 2D and 3D seasonal themed characters, along with some awesome ghostly effects!

I couldn’t resist visiting Fiesta Village, where the Dia de Los Muertos Celebration is in full swing! The themed area offers a walk through the 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…

Our last stop was at the beloved Halloween Hootenanny! The Timber Mountain Log Ride transforms into a creepy, family-friendly delight! People of all ages (*cough* *cough* including me!) love this ride. We never leave Knotts Spooky farm without riding it!

My son and his friends had a killer time! I couldn’t have asked for a greater trip, and gosh, did I enjoy an empty bed to catch those zzz’s!

Last week, my family went on a foodieventure at Knott’s, to try as many Boysenberry food items that we could fit in our bellies. As we walked through the park, we could smell the sweet and savory scents of the barbecues grilling. This year there are over 75 Boysenberry food items, ranging from churros, wine, craft beer, cotton candy, and even boba tea. What?!

This year’s food lineup introduces several new food items!

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.

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.

Knott’s Berry Farm’s Hangtime Rollercoaster Is Now Open

Do you enjoy a good adrenalin rush and extreme rollercoasters?

If so, you need to head to Knott’s Berry Farm to experience their newest ride, HangTime!

In celebration of the new ride, last week I headed Knott’s to celebrate the new rollercoaster’s debut. It was a HangTime preview night and beach themed shindig! This new ride is the first and only dive coaster in Cali. HangTime towers 150 feet over the Boardwalk area showcasing a beyond vertical drop that is the steepest in California, gravity-defying inversions, and mid-air suspensions. GULP… Yes it’s pretty insane. This new ride is NOW open to park guests!

I looked up at the ride and thought, am I actually going to do this? Then I figured, what the heck… YOLO! ( you only live once)

Knotts-hangtime-ride — Photo credit to Knott’s Berry Farm

For those of you that enjoy a thrill ride, your are definitely in for a treat!

About HangTime

HangTime will send riders up a vertical lift hill into a 15-story 96-degree drop-the steepest drop in California. The coaster’s train will come to a halt once the highest peak is reached, and will leave riders suspended at the crest for several seconds staring downward at a 60-degree angle, giving the illusion of a disappearing track. Then the train will suddenly descend in a beyond-vertical drop, through 2,189 feet of steel track and five gravity-defying inversion. HangTime will be only the second rollercoaster in the Western Hemisphere to feature a negative-g stall loop, which gives riders the sensation of floating.

The new HangTime ride looks spectacular at night!

The party was HangTime beach themed with live band playing Beach Boy’s tunes, and beach balls being tossed around the park … Knott’s Berry Farm definitely knows how to throw a party!

These deviled eggs were decorated with colorful edible flowers. They were almost too pretty to eat!

Guests can experience an entire season of fun including the thrill of HangTime with a 2018 Knott’s Season Pass, on sale now at the best price of the year. A Regular Season Pass includes unlimited admission in 2018 to Knott’s Berry Farm with no blackout dates, and a Gold Season Pass includes unlimited admission in 2018 to both Knott’s Berry Farm and the newly expanded Knott’s Soak City Waterpark with no blackout dates.
