Knott’s Peanuts Celebration 2022 Review

On By themeparkduoIn Blog, Event ReviewsLeave a comment

n 1982, The Peanuts characters came to life at Knott's Berry Farm for the first time and in 1983 Camp Snoopy opened its doors to guests at Knott's Berry Farm for the first time. With its luscious tree filled landscape, Camp Snoopy quickly became a fan favorite area of the park. It's so odd to think of the days when Knott's Berry Farm didn't have Charlie Brown and his best friend Snoopy within its gates. To a certain extent, Snoopy has become an unofficial mascot of the park. In a more literal sense (because we were born in 1989), we simply cannot separate the two because we've never known one without the other. And for many other people, they can feel the exact same way.

For The Love of Halloween: Season’s Screamings 2021 Review

On By themeparkduoIn Blog, Event Reviews, HauntsLeave a comment

Since 2016, Midsummer Scream has provided amazing content, entertainment, shopping opportunities, and a judgement free area for those who love the color black and don't mind being covered in blood every now and again. These short days are perfect to get all of us back into the spirit (but who has ever truly left) before the doors open to the biggest haunts and best home haunts SoCal has to offer. Typically, that would be the end of the story. But in 2021, it doesn't end there. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the team behind Midsummer Scream decided to hold off on their popular event and instead focus on a smaller event called Awaken The Spirits, which was phenomenal. They also created a brand new event during the holidays called Season's Screamings.
