Knott's Scary Farm Travel Guide | California Travel Tips

Veronica Hill of California Travel Tips checks out Knott's Scary Farm in Buena Park. Held annually since 1973, Knott's Scary Farm is Southern California's largest Halloween event, featuring 160 acres of horror. Each night, more than 1,000 monsters lurk throughout the park and its 10 mazes.

Navigate your way through the fog-filled streets of Ghost Town, then brave the twisted terror of Gunslinger's Grave, Forevermore and Pinocchio Unstrung.

During Knott's Halloween Haunt, the Boardwalk is transformed into CarnEVIL — where wicked clowns roam the fun zone. While you're here, don't miss Black Magic, where Houdini's ghost haunts you with a host of demonic illusions.

Over at Fiesta de Los Muertos, you can join a spooky dance, or head over to Necropolis for a trip inside Mirror Mirror or Uncle Willy's Slaughterhouse.

Gypsy Camp is where you'll find most of the action. After getting your fortune told in one of the tents, head into one of its four mazes, including Dominion of the Damned, End Games, Trick or Treat and Delirium.

Several shows are offered nightly, including Blood Drums, Carny Trash, Cursed and Calico Square's controversial "Hanging" — a staple here since 1979. Elvira's Sinema Seance, starring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, plays on the Ghoul Time Theatre at 9 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. nightly.

If you don't want to deal with the crowds, pay $65 for the Fright Lane with Skeleton key. You'll bypass all the lines, plus unlock additional rooms and scares in the mazes! Trapped, available for an additional $60 (for up to six people), is a reservation-only maze with a personalized experience.
