Knott’s Scary Farm has risen from the grave for another year, bringing in new mazes and entertainment you don’t wanna miss. 

What’s Happening;

• Knott’s Berry Farm is one of the best theme parks in the country, but once Halloween season rolls around, it becomes scarily good!
• Knott’s Scary Farm officially kicked off last night, September 17th, and Laughing Place was in attendance to check out all the amazing thrills and chills found at this year’s event. 
• For 2026, Knott’s has debuted two new mazes with Inked and Unearthed. 
• Inked replaces the extremely popular Mesmer: Sideshow of the Mind near Xcelerator. 
• Inviting guests into a 1930s cartoon studio, they will come face-to-face with some terrifying 2D characters as Morbid Studios founder Mortimer Morbid learns he can bring his creations to life with blood. 

• Replacing The Grimoire near the Mystery Lodge, Unearthed invites you out to an archeological dig site. After finding ancient tablets, the mummified Anunnaki army set out on getting you.

• Beyond the two new mazes, there are several  new shows to check out. 
• Guided by the legendary Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, guests are led past the cemetery gates and into the court of Baron Samedi, the Lwa of the dead.

• In Calico’s Bird Cage Theatre, magic comes to life in the new Occultum.
• In collaboration with The Magic Castle, this illusion show brings in a rotating selection of magicians with weekend one kicking off with Dan Sperry!
