First Time Visit to Knott's Scary Farm with My Tween! Did She Cry? Maybe.... #scaryfarm #knottsscaryfarm

Knott's Scary Farm is Back for Select Nights Through November 2nd!

 

Thanks to Knott's Berry Farm, last week I decided to give in to my tween and take her with some of her besties to Knott's Scary Farm....

 



 

Let me back up and give you some history.

 

When I was 12.5, in 7th grade I was taken to Knott's Scary Farm after a few years of begging. Keep in mind this was 1992 and things were a bit more timid back then.

 

My daughter found out a few years ago, watched me cover the amazing event and has been asking to attend since.

 

I told her when she hits the age I was allowed to go and she feels ready after watching my videos... I'll take her.

 

That was last week.

 



 

So I have to admit that I was so excited to see these girls scream and get a dose of reality check but they held their own.

 

 

Their top 3 favorites...

 

1. The Carnevil Clowns. They must have walked that scare zone about 8 times and loved every moment of it. I really feel like it was a fun side to scary.

 



 

My Top 5 Reasons Dark Harbor at The Queen Mary Should Be On Your Haunts List #darkhabor

Queen Mary Brings Screams, Frights, Food, Side Shows and So Much More with Dark Harbor

 

Have you been to Dark Harbor? Their goal is to scare the SHIP out of you... they do an amazingly frightful job of it too.

 



 

One of my most favorite events each Halloween Haunt season is Dark Harbor. There is something about being on the ship that is creepy in itself and so intriguing.

 



 

I wanted to give you a run down on my favs, must see, tips and more... 

 

1. There is fog everywhere. From the moment you walk in and all throughout the mazes. Lots of it.

 

2. Hundreds of monsters and ghouls waiting for you each night after an opening ceremony behind gates. They are everywhere, hinding, lurking and creeping in the shadows.

 



 

3. The mazes are awesome. Each one is so different and scary in it's own way. From on board the ship to a transformation in a dome tent, the setting is definitely set for horrors of all kinds to find you.

 

4. Sliders!! Not the food but the crazy creeps the come sliding towards you on their hands knees and bodies with sparks flying. Yes. Those Sliders are amazing. They have their own show, not to miss, but also linger around just to freak you out too.

 



Knott's Scary Farm Deets Plus New Mazes & More ... for Those Brave Enough to Go! #ScaryFarm

Are You Ready to Scream at Knott's Scary Farm!

 

We have all the deets on new mazes, rides, shows, BooFets fests and more.  



 

This year my daughter is in 7th grade, do you know what that means, I do.

 

She reminded me that I told her years ago and for many years to follow that she could go to Knott's Scary Farm when she gets into 7th grade like I did back in the day of 1992.

 

So here we are many, many years later since my first visit to Scary Farm and I know the intensity has grown with the scary being amplified since 1992 but I'm planning to surprise her with tickets!

 

Have you taken your tween? How did it go? Did they scream for more or just scream?

My girl is brave, loves to be scared, watches scary movies and loves all of that. I cringe and scream and she looks to see what's next. She is going to love it.

 

I can not wait to come back and share how it went and what we did... I mean aside from my laugh crying cause that's what I do when I get freaked out and Scary Farm does a great job of that!

 



 

Since there is so much to do, see, run from and scream at we wanted to break it all down for you.

 

Plan ahead and make the most of theirs Fall fun!

 

 

Everything Knott's Scary Farm.. ready.. go..

 

Knott’s Scary Farm is the most haunting Halloween experience in Southern California, delivering unimaginable scares and innovative thrills since 1973 and continues to make the most twisted delusions come to life.

 

This season new horrors are in store with the frightening new maze Wax Works, where a mysterious figure has been seen tinkering at night and is ready to show off his beautiful yet terrifyingly life-like masterpieces of hot molten wax and bloody flesh.

 

Or pierce the veil of time to discover the secret of the evil fog that hangs over Knott’s Scary Farm’s Ghost Town’s streets in the new maze Origins: The Curse of Calico.

 

A hilariously outrageous new show will be brought to life as world-class comedian puppeteers from The Jim Henson Company encourage guests to participate in the improvised comedy antics in Puppet Up! – Uncensored, which is intended for mature audiences.

 

With 14 haunted attractions and more than 1,000 horrifying creatures roaming the park, nightmares never end at Knott’s Scary Farm. Select nights from September 19 through November 2.
