Knott’s Scary Farm, the world’s first Halloween theme park event, began in 1973 with just a handful of monsters, and has grown to become the largest, most creative scary theme park in the world. Now in its 42nd season, it returns with 11 haunted attractions, four scare zones, two live shows, and a thousand monsters lurking across the park’s 160 acres!
