Knott's Spooky Farm - All The Deets for Family Fun #KnottsSpookyFarm

Knott’s Spooky Farm Brings Halloween Fun for All Ages!

 

We love Spooky Farm at Knott's Berry Farm - a Family Tradition.

 



 

Knott's always brings us amazing seasonal events. It seems like every few months they surprise us with a fun festive filled event that lasts weeks sometimes months.

 

One of our favorites during fall is Spooky Farm... we love the Camp Spooky Peanuts gang entertainment and treat trails.

 

We will bring you all the updates live during this year's visit too!

 

 

Hot off the Berry press...

 

This year Spooky Farm is back with a bunch of surprises.

 

Starting September 28, 2019 The spooktacular family-friendly, daytime Halloween event, Knott’s Spooky Farm, invites families with little ghouls ages 3-11 to celebrate the delightfully spooky season as the park is transformed with themed décor and wicked fun around every corner.

 

The fall Season of Fun offers Halloween themed activities that celebrate the season including trick-or-treating, the debut of new shows, pumpkin decorating and a guest-favorite the PEANUTS costume contest.

 

Knott’s Spooky Farm takes place weekends, September 28 - October 27 and Halloween Day.

Charlie Brown, his best friend Snoopy and the beloved PEANUTS Gang will 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 available through Ghost Town’s Main Street and Schoolhouse Road.

 



 

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.

 

Whimsical jack-o-lanterns will adorn Calico Park’s surroundings as it transforms into an enchanting Pumpkin Patch location for families to enjoy the atmosphere of the season with photo ops, crafters and strolling magicians.

 



 

Miniature pumpkins or Halloween cookies will be available for decorating, for a nominal fee.

 

Linus will also be on hand at the pumpkin patch to help little ones pick out the perfect pumpkin.

Best Tween Birthday Visit Plus Jurassic World Ride Review at Universal Studios Hollywood - A Must Visit Experience #JurassicWorldHollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood for the Birthday Win - Plus a Glimpse Inside Jurassic World!

 

A few weeks ago we celebrated my daughters birthday at Universal Studios Hollywood.

 

Now that the kids are in love with Universal Studios it makes the visit so fun as a family.

 



 

Thank you to Universal Studios Hollywood for the birthday tickets and visit, we had a blast. All opinions are my own.

 

We like to grab a studio map when we arrive. This helps us navigate the rides, attractions, shows, meet and greets & more.

 

Of course all four of us wanted to rush over to Jurassic World the Ride and experience the thrill of the movies coming to life.

 



 

My tween was having so much fun interacting with the baby Raptor and watching Blue snap over at the encounter area of the lower lot.

 

I am not even kidding when I say that we all felt like the reality of Dinos possibly walking among us was really happening... so life like!!!

 



 

Time to ride....

 



 

First time riding for us all and we loved it. I don't want to give much away but there is an element of surprise around each turn and view.

 



 

My kids did not know from what side or angle there would be a surprise coming at them or something to startle them.

 



 

I myself was caught off guard a few times and even let out a scream.

 

We really liked that the end of the ride was a bit splash... you can see my video on youtube here.

 



 

It was really exciting and we felt like Universal Studios did an awesome job of making us feel like we were there and it was real.

 

Can.not.wait. to ride again!

  

Journey to the rest of Universal Studios Hollywood...

Dining On A Budget at Great Wolf Lodge CA #GWLSoCal

Great Wolf Lodge Dining Family Friendly Without Breaking the Bank!

 

"Howl" you all doing?! See what I did there?!

 

Summer is officially over, not really, just kids going back to school.

 

The fun doesn't have to end with school. We love to stay at Great Wolf Lodge random times year-round.

 



 

There are always wolftastic things to do between festivities in the lobby, attractions and of course the waterpark!

 

We've written about seasonal activities and things to do, the Paw Pass, Ten Pay Alley bowling, on site fun and the best way to enjoy the water park here  but.... I want to talk food this time.

 

Yeah Food! We love to travel and dine out while we travel and then some.

 

Something I love to do is stay at hotels and resorts that have breakfast buffet as an on site option.

 

 



 

Not only does Great Wolf Lodge have Dunkin' on site but they also have the best breakfast buffet around.

 



 

Loose Moose Family Kitchen!!

 



 

The characters come to each table and spend a bunch of time with everyone. No need to hop up and leave your bellies hungry... just enjoy the food while and be sure that you will get a personal visit.

 

Let's get to why we felt the wolf pups and adults will love the buffet foodie options.
