Knott’s Scary Farm
Select nights starting September 14-October 31
Knott’s Scary Farm is Southern California’s longest running and most haunting Halloween theme park event. With 50 years of never-ending nightmares, unimaginable scares and innovative thrills, Knott’s Scary Farm has left no tomb unearthed, no crypt unrattled and no fear untouched. This year’s lineup is a culmination of decades of terror that no one will want to miss.
Knott’s Scary Farm is a specially ticketed event not included with the purchase of a Season Pass. Due to the explicit and frightening nature of the event, it is not recommended for children under 13.
