When the boys were little we would celebrate Halloween by going to Knott’s Scary Farm the weekend before Oct 31st as a date night. Then we would take the boys Trick-or-Treating. When they both turned 18 we started to attend the hunt as a family. This year, my husband Justin and I couldn’t attend however, our kids went without us. I can’t say how much I love Knott’s Berry Farm it’s very much a park that various events have become a family tradition.
The boys think this year was one for the best haunts ever! For us having a FRIGHT & FAST LANE pass is a must if you want to experience all of the mazes without standing in long lines. Plus Knott’s has it strictly planned to where once you exit one maze the entrance to another maze is near. Knott’s Scary Farm runs on Select nights September 19 – November 2.
Here’s are the top 5 mazes that JJ King and Sean King consider a must to do at this year’s haunt.
1) The Depths – A heavy fog drapes over an abandoned port village where ancient creatures lurk inside the pitch-black underground caves hidden below the seaside shores. The Nightwatch Mining Crew has mysteriously disappeared and village rumors point to the eerie tunnels the town sits upon. Myths of the terrifying horrors that lurk within the cave have often been whispered but never confirmed. Did the crew meet their demise at the hand of vicious
creatures that live within the cave? Journey into the ominous caverns to discover if the superstitions revolving around the cave is true or not. But be warned all who have entered have never resurfaced.
2) Special Ops: Infected – Enlist to fight the zombie apocalypse in an all-out war against the undead in the interactive experience, Special Ops: Infected. Armed with specially designed laser guns, brave groups of guests embark on a mission of navigating through the city in a quest to find the infection cure.

3) Wax Works (New for 2019) – Mysterious lights and strange noises have begun to emanate from the eerie abandoned wax museum. The once prominent plastic surgeon, Dr. Augustus Scratch, has been seen tinkering at night and is now ready to show off his beautiful yet terrifying life-like masterpieces of hot molten wax and bloody flesh.

the gloom over the once pleasant ride. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare, being helplessly trapped inside an abandoned carnival ride without a way out.
