It’s that spooky time of year, are you ready for it? Enjoy the Spooktacular Halloween season at Knott’s Spooky Farm, a family-friendly Halloween celebration geared for kids ages 3-11. Families can join in on the ghoulish fun by participating in safe, interactive activities throughout the park. This year, new charming photo opportunities greet guests as they enter the Main Gate, a perfect way to ignite everyone’s Halloween spirit. Guests of all ages can learn about the creepy crawly critters occupying the livery stable in Ghost Town. Now with an expanded trick-or-treating experience, little ghouls can stop by the town’s shops and buildings to collect sweet treats from the friendly Ghost Town Ghouls. Calico Park offers families the opportunity to personalize miniature jack-o-lanterns or decorate a scrumptious cookie for a festive Halloween treat. Fun Halloween-themed shows are also in store as a friendly magician mystifies little ones with spell-binding magic tricks at Calico Saloon, or young gals and ghouls can participate in the interactive spooky story time offered at the Birdcage Theatre. The Camp Snoopy Theater plays host to the “Monsters are Coming” kids show where children are encouraged to brew-up their perfect Halloween costumes for the Knott’s Spooky Farm Costume Contest. Also at Camp Snoopy, families can hop aboard the Grand Sierra Railroad to experience a one-of-kind adventure as riders travel to Camp Spooky with the PEANUTS gang® and spot fun surprises along the way. The popular Halloween Hootenanny also returns as The Timber Mountain Log Ride transforms with spooky but family-friendly surprises to a park favorite. That’s a lot to take in I know, but it sure is a lot of fun!
You will find Charlie Brown, his best friend Snoopy and the beloved PEANUTS Gang all be celebrating the spooky holiday with their own Halloween costumes and will be available for special meet & greets and fun photo encounters in Camp Snoopy and Calico Park. Kids ages 3 -11 can participate in the newly expanded trick-or-treating experience found through Ghost Town and extending all the way to Mission Row. During trick-or-treating, kids will interact with an array of spooky but friendly Shopkeepers as little ones have the opportunity to show-off their festive Halloween costumes. In Ghost Town, Stanley Scarecrow has opened the Livery Stable for guests of all ages to get close and personal with the Creepy Critters of Calico. 
Even the horses are ready for Halloween!
Whimsical jack-o-lanterns will adorn Calico Park’s surroundings as it transforms into an enchanting location for families to enjoy personalizing miniature pumpkins or decorating scrumptious Halloween cookies, for a nominal fee.

The Spooky Story Time at the Birdcage Theatre is where kids will find more fiendish fun as they partake in interactive group storytelling with eerie tales celebrating the season.

Additionally, families can watch the Peanuts Gang in The Monsters Are Coming, Charlie Brown, where they’ll have guests of all ages singing and dancing along to classic Halloween tunes.
The residents of the Timber Mountain Log Ride will once again celebrate the Halloween Hootenanny which, adds a family friendly seasonal twist to a park favorite. Mysterious creatures of Timber Mountain that live out in the woods and caverns join the citizens as they honor the season at the Halloween Hootenanny. The ride’s interior will feature fun surprises as guests venture past the Calico Coffin Creeper band, the town’s green witch and splash down Skull Mountain through a labyrinth of jack-o- lanterns. The seasonal ride will also feature an original song performed by Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies. It is the perfect family experience for all to enjoy this Halloween season and is one of our favorite rides to enjoy in the park!
