Knott’s Peanuts Celebration!

Knott’s Peanuts Celebration!

By Kirstin

My favorite thing about bringing my family to Knotts Berry Farm is that there is always something new to experience.  We love the rides, food and especially the characters!  We were invited to Knott’s to experience the new Peanuts Celebration that is running on weekends until March 10th plus February 11th, 15th and 18th for the holiday weekends!  

Besides rides, everyone talks about the food.  What is new on the menu?  Every season brings new tastes to tickle our buds.   My family comes some days just to get Mrs. Knotts fried chicken and boysenberry cobbler!  What is new for the Peanuts Celebration?  Peanut butter and Raspberry jam!  Classic tastes with new twists, you really can’t go wrong.  What will be your favorite?  The Charlie Brown brownies?  Peanut butter and boysenberry jelly cupcakes?  Fruitloop bars?  There are so many different choices, it’s hard to decide! What would you choose?
