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! Written by Gregg Condon  Always remember where you parked  Montezooma's is obviously closed, Xcelerator being closed is a bummer.  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!   The walls extend all the way around the Arcade, Shop, Stage and La Papa Loca.  They've been nice enough to let everybody know where the entertainment is.  Get your Carne Asada Fries fix at Wilderness Broiler!  Not much visible work going on with Montezooma's Revenge.    Pizza for dinner sounded good! Let's check out Prop Shop Pizzeria!  They've added a refreshments booth outside of the restaurant. Although it's hard to tell where the line is.  A look at what's available.  They've also included a Refreshments Entrance to the main restaurant if you aren't getting food! Nice!  A look at the Pizza menu.  Beverages and Dessert.  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.
 Summer Nights is in Full Swing!!
 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.
 Speaking of Scary Farm, no surprise, Mesmer is coming back!  Xcelerator's Red Train is on the track, Purple train is in pieces.  Knottsopoly has a shirt now too!  Instead of flipping your table over when playing Knottsopoly, you can just have a throw. =)  The new fruit and veggie shirts!
 These things  Cups and Mugs!  Really curious to see if these are selling. Didn't notice anybody at the park wearing them.  Some other "new to me" Knott's merch. I like these!   Cheers everybody! Have a great weekend! Related Videos

11/24/2021 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! Written by Gregg Condon
Welcome back to Knott's Merry Farm! It's great to be back!
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.
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!
Lots of cute and fun merchandise throughout the park!
And some great decorations/photo ops
Xcelerator is getting a well needed paint job!
Missed K-NOT radio every time I walked by here.
Is Whiplash ever coming back? It's not even listed on the closed attractions outside the park.
HangTime is back!
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!
The carolers are so great!
The Saloon looks great as always!
I got the Santa's Little Helper as it was the only drink that didn't have Vodka. I don't do Vodka.
Lots of great characters in the park
The "worst thing ever" cashless machines. It's ok everybody. You'll get used to it.
Traffic cooperated coming back from the Legoland Tree Lighting and I was able to enjoy a couple of hours of Merry Farm at night.
It looks so great I don't even miss the fog. That much. =)
Home For The Holidays is such a fun show, a bit cheesy in parts, but pure holiday fun! Not to be missed!
Needed the night version of this shot. =)
Poor Ebenezer
Santa's Cabin is back and is always a highlight for food and entertainment
The Sticky Toffee Pudding was amazing, will definitely be getting this again!
Camp Snoopy at night always looks so great!
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!

 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! Written by Gregg Condon Pics by Gregg, Hillary Starbright and Kristi Condon Hi Knott's! It's so good to be back! We're ready for all the Boysenberry stuff!  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.  Ready for some food pics? You've been warned!!  Dippin Dots goodness. Didn't get any park tips from the Dippin Dots gal though.  Boysenberry Beef Stew with a biscuit  Boysenberry BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese  Boysenberry Beer and Boysenberry Cider  Masks off only in designated places!!  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.  Pork Bao Buns with a Boysenberry Kimchi and Nam Pla. They need to jar this Kimchi!  Mac and Cheese Bites over Tater Tots with a Boysenberry Siracha Ketchup  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.  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.  Boysenberry Key Lime Tart  There have also been some park improvements going on and the park looks amazing!    I think this is new? Even if it's not, it looks great!  Found RD's spot!! Back to the food!  Frozen Boysenberry Mai Tai  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.  Boysenberry Flavored Shrimp and Grits. This was good, but they should have used the same shrimp as the shrimp taco (see below)  Boysenberry Balsamic Brussel Sprouts. These were actually quite tasty, but again, hard to overpower the flavor of Brussel Sprouts.  Boysenberry BBQ Meatloaf with Scalloped Potatoes. This was definitely more "Boysenberry Salisbury Steak", but still very tasty we thought.  Boysenberry Champagne Float. Very tasty.  Fiesta Village was a popular place, but plenty of seating for all!  Soon supreme scream. Soon!  Boysenberry Slushy Sangria  Chef Special Tamale with a Boysenberry Roja Sauce over Spanish Rice. Was very happy with this, it was a darn good tamale!  Shrimp Taco with Cabbage Slaw and a Boysenberry Salsa. THIS is the Shrimp they should have used for the Grits!!  The park looks amazing!   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.  Boysenberry BBQ Carne Asada Pizza Slice with Cilantro and Onions  Boysenberry Bread Pudding with a Creme Anglase  Magic Hour at Knott's is always amazing!   It was an amazing day at Knott's, and we will definitely be back for more Boysenberry Treats soon! As promised, our top 5! The Knott's Taste of Boysenberry Festival runs through May 2nd. You can find all of the details about the event here. Related Videos
