Knott's Berry Farm Update - Fiesta Village, New Pizza Restaurant, Scary Farm, Summer Nights and More!

Happy Saturday everybody and welcome to our first update from Knott's Berry Farm since February. That's right, we even skipped the Boysenberry Festival this year. Just been busy with life and haven't had a chance to get down to the park. 

Made a quick stop on my way home from San Diego as we noticed we were having some issues with our Season Passes, and I had to get it addressed before our trip to Cedar Point, Kings Island and Canada's Wonderland next month. Happy to say we're all good!! 

But before that epic trip, let's see what's going on at Knott's. There is a lot!

Always remember where you parked
Picture
Montezooma's is obviously closed, Xcelerator being closed is a bummer.
Picture
As of yesterday, lots of walls all around Fiesta Village. Still not quite sure what they're doing here, but we can't wait to find out!
Picture
Picture
The walls extend all the way around the Arcade, Shop, Stage and La Papa Loca.
Picture
They've been nice enough to let everybody know where the entertainment is.
Picture
Get your Carne Asada Fries fix at Wilderness Broiler!
Picture
Not much visible work going on with Montezooma's Revenge.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pizza for dinner sounded good! Let's check out Prop Shop Pizzeria!
Picture
They've added a refreshments booth outside of the restaurant. Although it's hard to tell where the line is.
Picture
A look at what's available.
Picture
They've also included a Refreshments Entrance to the main restaurant if you aren't getting food! Nice!
Picture
A look at the Pizza menu.
Picture
Beverages and Dessert.
Picture
The Pasta Bar. I'd suggest they swap the location of the Pizza and Pasta. The Pasta takes longer to dish out and the line backs up.
Picture
Yummy Pizza and Beer!
Picture
Enjoying Dinner with an old friend!
Picture
Summer Nights is in Full Swing!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
If you missed out on your Paranormal Inc. Final Season mugs last year, you can get them in Toy Junction in Ghost Town. I also spotted a couple of Scary Farm shirts I don't remember from last year.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Speaking of Scary Farm, no surprise, Mesmer is coming back!
Picture
Xcelerator's Red Train is on the track, Purple train is in pieces.
Picture
Knottsopoly has a shirt now too!
Picture
Instead of flipping your table over when playing Knottsopoly, you can just have a throw. =)
Picture
The new fruit and veggie shirts!
Picture
Picture
Picture
These things
Picture
Cups and Mugs!
Picture
Really curious to see if these are selling. Didn't notice anybody at the park wearing them.
Picture
Some other "new to me" Knott's merch. I like these!
Picture
Picture
Cheers everybody! Have a great weekend!

Knott's Merry Farm 2021 Opening Day Update

Last Friday we headed out to Knott's Merry Farm to check out the opening day of this years event. 

After seeing a lot of pictures from the Passholder preview night on Thursday, with a LOT of people, we were worried the event would be even more busy for the opening day. It was in fact a very pleasant day. I was there a few hours in the afternoon and then back in the evening after the Legoland Tree Lighting (click the link to check out that update). 

I was able to try some yummy food and see some of the amazing entertainment at this years event. I saved a few things until we go back to the event so look for another Merry Farm update from us in a few weeks. 

Let's head in and have some fun!

Welcome back to Knott's Merry Farm! It's great to be back! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Our first Merry Farm treat was the Turkey Poutine Tots. They were decent, could have used some more gravy and perhaps something sweet/tart like Cranberry Sauce as well. 
Picture
The Holiday Chicken Waffle Taco was very tasty! Wish the Waffle itself would have been a bit crispier, like an actual taco shell, but that was minor. Would eat again! 
Picture
Picture
Lots of cute and fun merchandise throughout the park! 
Picture
And some great decorations/photo ops
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Xcelerator is getting a well needed paint job! 
Picture
Picture
Missed K-NOT radio every time I walked by here. 
Picture
Is Whiplash ever coming back? It's not even listed on the closed attractions outside the park. 
Picture
HangTime is back! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
There is a LOT of really great merchandise, so we figured it would be better if we put it in a slide show. 
The Factory Store got a really great new sign. We love it! 
Picture
The carolers are so great!

The Saloon looks great as always! 
Picture
Picture
I got the Santa's Little Helper as it was the only drink that didn't have Vodka. I don't do Vodka. 
Picture
Lots of great characters in the park
Picture
The "worst thing ever" cashless machines. It's ok everybody. You'll get used to it. 
Picture
Traffic cooperated coming back from the Legoland Tree Lighting and I was able to enjoy a couple of hours of Merry Farm at night. 
Picture
Picture
It looks so great I don't even miss the fog. That much. =) 
Picture
Home For The Holidays is such a fun show, a bit cheesy in parts, but pure holiday fun! Not to be missed! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Needed the night version of this shot. =) 
Picture
Poor Ebenezer 
Picture
Santa's Cabin is back and is always a highlight for food and entertainment 
Picture
Picture
Picture
The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing, will definitely be getting this again! 
Picture
Camp Snoopy at night always looks so great! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Thanks for checking out our Merry Farm update! Our plans are to be back the first weekend in December, so look for a lot more Merry Farm fun soon!

Taste of Boysenberry Festival 2021 at Knott's Berry Farm

Picture
This past weekend we found ourselves back in a very familiar place, Knott's Berry Farm. It was opening weekend for their all new Taste of Boysenberry Festival, and it was so amazing to be back. 

If you've been following us for awhile you'll know that we really haven't been up to much over the past year, for obvious reasons. But we're so glad you've all stuck with us now that we feel semi-comfortable being out in the world again. 

We hope you're ready for some gratuitous food pics, because they're coming right at ya. And we'll end with the top 5 food items we tried!

Hi Knott's! It's so good to be back! We're ready for all the Boysenberry stuff! 
Picture
Our first stop was of course for some Boysenberry Dippin Dots, and they were amazing! 

Backstory on the shirt, my sister got me this shirt and gave it to me when we picked her up for this event, and I just had to wear it! Got so many comments on it throughout the day. 
Picture
Ready for some food pics? You've been warned!! 
Picture
Dippin Dots goodness. Didn't get any park tips from the Dippin Dots gal though.
Picture
Boysenberry Beef Stew with a biscuit
Picture
Boysenberry BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese
Picture
Boysenberry Beer and Boysenberry Cider
Picture
Masks off only in designated places!!
Picture
Boysenberry Brisket Tater Tots topped with Crispy Jalapeño Chips and a Boysenberry Aioli Sauce. This was seriously legit and I want more of it right now.
Picture
Pork Bao Buns with a Boysenberry Kimchi and Nam Pla. They need to jar this Kimchi!
Picture
Mac and Cheese Bites over Tater Tots with a Boysenberry Siracha Ketchup
Picture
My sister hadn't been to Knott's since she was about 9, so we had to of course do some of the awesome Knott's traditions.
Picture
After all that savory stuff, it was time for some dessert. "Hint of Lemon" Churro Bites with a White Chocolate Sugar and a Boysenberry and Chocolate Dipping Sauce.
Picture
Boysenberry Key Lime Tart
Picture
There have also been some park improvements going on and the park looks amazing!
Picture
Picture
Picture
I think this is new? Even if it's not, it looks great!
Picture
Found RD's spot!!
Back to the food! 
Picture
Frozen Boysenberry Mai Tai
Picture
Cheeseburger with a Boysenberry Onion Spread on a Brioche Bun. Have to say, didn't get a whole lot of Boysenberry in this one. Hard to overpower the flavor of onions. Still tasty.
Picture
Boysenberry Flavored Shrimp and Grits. This was good, but they should have used the same shrimp as the shrimp taco (see below)
Picture
Boysenberry Balsamic Brussel Sprouts. These were actually quite tasty, but again, hard to overpower the flavor of Brussel Sprouts.
Picture
Boysenberry BBQ Meatloaf with Scalloped Potatoes. This was definitely more "Boysenberry Salisbury Steak", but still very tasty we thought.
Picture
Boysenberry Champagne Float. Very tasty.
Picture
Fiesta Village was a popular place, but plenty of seating for all!
Picture
Soon supreme scream. Soon!
Picture
Boysenberry Slushy Sangria
Picture
Chef Special Tamale with a Boysenberry Roja Sauce over Spanish Rice. Was very happy with this, it was a darn good tamale!
Picture
Shrimp Taco with Cabbage Slaw and a Boysenberry Salsa. THIS is the Shrimp they should have used for the Grits!!
Picture
The park looks amazing!
Picture
Picture
Our last stop of the day was over by Ghostrider. Beer Cheese Soup in a Bread Bowl with a Boysenberry Drizzle and Brown Butter Croutons.
Picture
Boysenberry BBQ Carne Asada Pizza Slice with Cilantro and Onions
Picture
Boysenberry Bread Pudding with a Creme Anglase
Picture
Magic Hour at Knott's is always amazing!
Picture
Picture
It was an amazing day at Knott's, and we will definitely be back for more Boysenberry Treats soon!
As promised, our top 5! 
#1 - Beer Cheese Soup
#2 - Boysenberry Brisket Tater Tots
#3 - Boysenberry Bread Pudding
#4 - Pork Bao Buns and Kimchi
#5 - Shrimp Taco
The Knott's Taste of Boysenberry Festival runs through May 2nd.
