KNOTT'S SCARY FARM
Every year, Knott's Berry Farm puts on SoCal's scariest Halloween party. On select days
from late September through October 31, the park closes and reopens at night as Knott's
Scary Farm. Horror-minded thrills include a dozen creepy mazes, monster-themed shows
and a thousand employees trying to scare the bejeezus out of you in 'scare zones'. Boo!
