Knott’s Scary Farm has officially opened ticket sales for its 2026 season, with passes available starting today, July 10, at 10 a.m. at knottsscaryfarm.com. The longest-running and most haunting Halloween theme park event in Southern California returns Thursday, September 17 and runs select nights through Saturday, October 31.

Now in its 50th-plus year of delivering nightmares, Knott’s Scary Farm transforms the Buena Park theme park into a fully haunted environment, complete with sinister mazes, scare zones, terrifying live shows, and more than 1,000 monsters lurking in the fog. Full details on this year’s new mazes, scare zones, and additional programming are set to be unveiled in August at the sold-out Nightmares Revealed event.

Whether you’re a Scary Farm veteran or bringing fresh blood for the first time, early ticket purchases are always the move — popular nights sell out fast. The event is not recommended for children under 13, owing to its explicit and frightening content.

Tickets are available now at knottsscaryfarm.com.
