We had the pure joy of attending Knotts Berry Farms “Taste of Fall-o-ween” event on opening day. Taste of Fall-o-ween is a family-friendly outdoor dining and retail experience celebrating the Halloween season and the flavors of Fall. Knotts has truly captured the spirit of Halloween in a way that was both surprising and refreshing during these uncertain times. Admission is based on the purchase of “tasting cards.” Regular tasting cards (ages 12+) are priced at $35 (plus tax) and will include five food tastings and Junior tasting cards (ages 3-11) are $20 (plus tax) and include three tastings plus a trip through the Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail. Tasting cards are date specific and must be purchased online at knotts.com or through the Knott’s Berry Farm mobile app prior to the date of visit. Most dates are sold out, but Knotts has continually been adding dates, so keep your eye out if you don’t already have tasting cards and would like to purchase tasting cards. We highly recommend this event – both for the theming and the food.

Camp Spooky – Trick or Treat Trail
All Junior tasting cards include a trip through the Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail. All parents are welcome to accompany their child through the trail; if an adult guest would like to purchase a trick-or-treating bag and receive candy they will be available for purchase. Our kids had a blast getting to trick or treat – might be the only trick or treating they get to do this year. The theming and treats were definitely the highlight of our trip.
