Knott’s Scary Farm has heard the fans loud and clear, bringing back the Knott’s Scary Farm pass. That’s the good news. As Southern California’s longest-running Halloween theme park event reaches its milestone 50th year the expectations are high that this will be the ultimate year of fear.  Knott’s Scary Farm will run select nights at Knott’s Berry Farm from September 21 through October 31.

The bad news is that the pass returns with a noticeable increase in price. Guests can secure a standalone Scary Farm Season Pass for $159, (up from $95 in 2021) with Knott’s Berry Farm season pass holders Knott’s Berry Farm Season Passholders can purchase the Scary Farm add-on pass at $149 (up from $89 in 2021.) The Scary Farm Pass and Scary Farm add-on passes offer unlimited visits to all event nights.

Knott’s Scary Farm is a specially ticketed event not included with the purchase of a Knott’s Berry Farm Season Pass. Due to the explicit and frightening nature of the event, it is not recommended for children under 13.
