It’s official! Knott’s Berry Farm has officially reopened. They’ve safely resumed regular operations with limited capacity & new reservation requirements. Park goers can enjoy the summer-long, Knott’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. “The Knott’s Family Reunion” looks to reunite family and friends in a safe and fun environment after a year-long closure due to COVID-19.

If you grew up in Southern California then most likely you grew up on the farm and have lots of fond memories of Knott’s throughout the years. During the Knott’s Family Reunion and Anniversary Celebration you will find many items throughout the park that are filled with nostalgia. It is definitely a walk through memory lane! They make for some great photo ops to bring back all the feels of your favorite attractions from years past. I have so many memories from Knott’s that I cherish. Below is one of my favorites, when I first met Snoopy!

New and unforgettable experiences await in honor of the park’s 100 years of history and family fun for all. During the 100th anniversary celebration, guests can experience the brand-new Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair, a 4-D interactive dark ride that pays tribute to the classic attraction from 35 years ago.

Guests also will have the opportunity to meet Knott’s all-new lovable costumed characters and enjoy special evening entertainment as Knott’s Summer Nights returns with live music, DJs and one-of-a-kind food and drink specialties.

In addition, the theme park is planning a nightly ceremony featuring multiple attractions lighting up the evening and culminating in a special moment with the redesigned illuminated K- tower.

Guests also will find festive new park décor, including special photo settings that pay homage to favorite attractions from the past and commemorative merchandise celebrating the park’s vast history. These are just a few of the many special surprises that can only come from your friends at Knott’s. Remember the Soap Box Racers? That was one of my favorite rides as a kid!

The anniversary celebration runs through September 6, 2021. In accordance with current state guidelines, capacity will be limited and available to California residents only with reservations required for both single-day visits and Season Passholders.
