What’s the Latest at Knott’s Berry Farm?

Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park is a fantastic destination for all the lovers of adventure out there. If you’re looking for some Orange County events for your entire family, then look no further! Come on down to the park very soon to kick the year off on deals and happenings that you won’t want to miss out on!

Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair 

This is the park’s newest attraction which opened its doors in May 2021 to commemorate Knotts’ 100th anniversary. It is a brand-new, updated version of the former Knott’s Bear-y Tales ride, which operated from 1975 until 1986. This ride is geared to introduce new generations to the Bear-y Family’s boysenberry pie factory, and perhaps invoke nostalgia to older visitors of the park who experienced its predecessor.

Peanuts Celebration (January 22 – March 6, 2022)

The Peanuts Celebration will serve as Knotts’ first Seasons of Fun event of 2022! Your favorite Peanuts characters including Snoopy and Charlie Brown will be available to play every single day! You will have the opportunity to learn to draw Schulz’s iconic characters and snack on some delicious eats such as the Fun Guy Charlie Pizza and Linus’ Blondies! You certainly won’t be crying “good grief!” with this lovable animated gang!

• Unlike Disneyland, guests are not required to book a reservation in advance of their visit to Knott’s Berry Farm., although it is recommended to purchase a ticket online in advance.
• While it is strongly recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), guests are not required to be vaccinated or provide a recent negative COVID-19 test in order to enter Knott’s Berry Farm or its other properties.
• However, all guests are required to wear a facemask covering their noses at all times, including in indoor spaces.

Knott’s Soak City

Unfortunately, at this time, Knott’s Soak City is not in operation. It will re-open for the summer season on May 28 until September 11, 2022. So if you opt to purchase an annual pass, you will need to wait a few more months to use your benefits for that park. Until then, there are plenty of Orange County events for you and your family to enjoy at Knotts’ main theme park.
