Step Into the Fog at Knott’s Scary Farm 2026: New Mazes, Scare Zones, Shows & Everything You Need to Know
By Erin
If you think Halloween is just about pumpkin patches, costume parties and spooky decorations, Knott’s Scary Farm 2026 is here to remind you that Halloween can get a whole lot darker.
Every fall, Knott’s Berry Farm transforms from a Southern California theme park into a fog-filled nightmare packed with haunted mazes, scare zones, live entertainment and monsters waiting around every corner. And for 2026, Knott’s Scary Farm is bringing back some fan-favorite nightmares while introducing two brand-new mazes, two new shows and a reimagined scare zone.
Knott’s Scary Farm returns on select nights from September 17 through October 31, 2026, at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. The event features 10 haunted mazes, five scare zones, live shows and more than 1,000 horrifying creatures lurking throughout the park.
Whether you’re a longtime Scary Farm fan or you’re planning your first visit, here’s everything you need to know about Knott’s Scary Farm 2026, including the new mazes, returning favorites, scare zones, shows, tickets and tips for planning your night. I attended opening night on the 17th, and you DON’T want to miss all the spooky fun in store this spooky season!
When Is Knott’s Scary Farm 2026?
Knott’s Scary Farm 2026 runs September 17 through October 31, 2026, on select nights.
The event takes place at:
Knott’s Berry Farm 8039 Beach Blvd. Buena Park, CA 90620
Knott’s Scary Farm is the longest-running Halloween theme park event in Southern California, with more than five decades of nightmares, monsters and Halloween scares.
The 2026 event dates are primarily Thursdays through Sundays, with additional October dates leading up to Halloween. The event does not operate every night, so it’s important to check the official calendar when choosing your visit date.
What Is Knott’s Scary Farm?
Knott’s Scary Farm is an annual Halloween event at Knott’s Berry Farm where the entire theme park transforms after dark into a giant horror experience.
Instead of simply walking through a haunted house, guests can explore multiple themed haunted mazes, scare zones and live shows, while monsters roam throughout the park.
The fog is one of the most recognizable parts of the experience. You never quite know what—or who—you’ll encounter as you move from one area of the park to another.
And that’s part of what makes Scary Farm different from a traditional haunted house.
The entire park becomes part of the experience.
What’s New at Knott’s Scary Farm 2026?
There are two major new haunted mazes debuting at Knott’s Scary Farm in 2026: Inked and Unearthed.
There are also two new shows, Voodoo: Bayou’s Edge and Occultum Curated by Magic Castle, plus a reimagined version of the popular CarnEVIL scare zone.
NEW MAZE: Inked
One of the most intriguing additions to Knott’s Scary Farm 2026 is Inked, a twisted animated nightmare where cartoons aren’t nearly as cute as they look. This was my FAVORITE maze for this year.
The story follows Mortimer Morbid, a washed-up 1930s cartoonist and former head of Morbid Studios.
Mortimer discovers that when blood becomes ink, imagination can become reality.
Determined to create one final Halloween special, he brings his infamous cartoon characters to life.
Unfortunately, his creations aren’t exactly interested in following the script.
Instead, the murderous toons turn on their creator and begin pulling victims into their twisted animated world.
Inked blends classic cartoon imagery with horror, creating a completely different kind of haunted maze experience.
If creepy cartoons are your thing, this one should be high on your list.
If your family loves Halloween but haunted houses and genuinely scary attractions aren’t exactly your thing yet, LEGOLAND California Brick or Treat is one Halloween celebration worth putting on your fall calendar.
This year, LEGOLAND California Resort is making its annual Halloween event even bigger with an entirely new experience: Brick or Treat Street, an interactive Halloween neighborhood where families can trick-or-treat their way through six larger-than-life LEGO Monster houses.
And yes, there is candy involved.
But that’s only part of the fun.
From LEGO Monster meet-and-greets and Halloween entertainment to themed rides, hands-on LEGO builds, a massive LEGO Halloween tree and a brand-new interactive light trail, Brick or Treat at LEGOLAND California is designed to give families a full day of Halloween fun without turning the experience into a fright fest.
If Brick or Treat has your kids wanting to build even more at home, check out these LEGO coupons and promo codes for deals on LEGO sets and more.
Here is everything you need to know about LEGOLAND California Brick or Treat for 2026, including what’s new, event dates, Brick or Treat Street, Halloween activities, rides, entertainment, the LEGO Halloween Tree and tips for planning your visit.
What Is LEGOLAND California Brick or Treat?
Brick or Treat is LEGOLAND California Resort’s annual family-friendly Halloween celebration. For select dates in September, October and November, the theme park transforms into a Halloween-themed “Mischief Town” filled with LEGO Monsters, decorations, entertainment, trick-or-treating, special activities and seasonal food.
The event is specifically designed with families and younger children in mind, making it a very different Halloween experience from traditional scare events.
Instead of haunted mazes and jump scares, expect colorful LEGO Monsters, silly Halloween characters, candy, music, interactive experiences and plenty of opportunities for kids to get into the Halloween spirit.
And perhaps one of the biggest perks?
Brick or Treat is included with general LEGOLAND California admission on event dates.
That means you can spend the day enjoying the regular LEGOLAND attractions before diving into the Halloween festivities.
What’s New at LEGOLAND California Brick or Treat 2026?
The biggest addition for 2026 is Brick or Treat Street, an all-new interactive Halloween walkthrough experience.
Think of it as a LEGO-fied Halloween neighborhood where guests can visit six different Monster homes.
Each house has its own character, theme and interactive surprises, making this more than simply walking up to a door and collecting candy.
The six houses include:
Wacky Witch’s Cottage
Wolf Guy’s Cabin
Spider Lady’s Castle
Mummy’s Throne Room
Plant Monster’s Greenhouse
Scarecrow’s Barn
Each stop offers something different, from searching for runaway frogs to waking an ancient mummy and trying to scare away a mischievous bird.
It is essentially trick-or-treating meets interactive LEGO storytelling.
Brick or Treat Street: The New Interactive Halloween Experience
If you are visiting LEGOLAND California specifically for Halloween, Brick or Treat Street is the experience you’ll want to put near the top of your list.
The walkthrough features six life-sized LEGO Monster homes, each inspired by LEGO Minifigure characters.
The fun starts before you even reach the front door because each house has its own interactive storyline.
1. Wacky Witch’s Cottage
Things haven’t gone exactly according to plan at the Wacky Witch’s house.
Her magical spells have gone hilariously wrong, and guests can ring the doorbell, search for runaway frogs and discover colorful potion mishaps.
It’s less “scary witch” and more chaotic LEGO Halloween fun.
Which is probably exactly what younger trick-or-treaters want.
2. Wolf Guy’s Cabin
Get ready to meet Wolf Guy.
Knock on the cabin door and witness his hilarious full-moon transformation.
Then, naturally, you’ll need to contribute your best howl before continuing through Brick or Treat Street.
This one sounds particularly fun for kids who love getting involved rather than simply watching an attraction.
3. Spider Lady’s Castle
Spider Lady might not be home, but her creepy-crawly companions certainly are.
Guests can interact with mysterious doors, discover unexpected textures and encounter some furry friends.
It’s creepy enough to feel like Halloween without crossing into genuinely frightening territory.
4. Mummy’s Throne Room
Someone, or something is sleeping inside the Mummy’s ancient throne room.
Your mission?
Wake the mighty Mummy.
Guests knock on the door and awaken a dramatic curse that leads to an unexpected, family-friendly twist.
Because apparently waking an ancient mummy is a perfectly reasonable Halloween activity.
5. Plant Monster’s Greenhouse
This isn’t your average greenhouse.
The Plant Monster’s home is filled with giant vines, spores and hungry plants that react as curious explorers get a little too close.
For kids who love interactive environments, this could be one of the most entertaining stops along Brick or Treat Street.
6. Scarecrow’s Barn
The friendly Scarecrow has a problem: he needs help scaring away a cheeky feathered friend.
Guests can strike their funniest pose, shout their loudest scare and collect a LEGO brick before heading to the next adventure.
It’s a great example of what makes Brick or Treat different from traditional Halloween events: kids aren’t simply spectators—they’re part of the experience.
New LEGO Halloween Characters for 2026
Brick or Treat 2026 is also introducing two new LEGO costume characters:
