 This past Friday it was time for our first Holiday event of 2019, Knott's Merry Farm. After a 3 1/2 hour drive (gotta love weeknight traffic in SoCal) we made it to the park and were ready to have a merry time. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Merry Farm  The projection also snows  Our first stop was the ice show as there was only 1 showing for the rest of the evening when we arrived. This is always a favorite.  Shockingly enough, we actually got some decent pics of the show. We've put them in a slideshow below. Sadly no video was allowed at the show.   No more pumpkin, but lots of pretty lights on the fountain.   Absolutely love this tree above the surf shop    As well as the big bulbs at coasters  All of the ride entries got huge wreaths. And because the park was not busy at all, we literally walked on every ride we wanted to.   Feliz Navidad    Oddly, we found the decorations in Camp Snoopy to be rather minimal  Ghost Town is always one of our favorite places during Merry Farm. The Crafts fair is always fun.  And of course the ever-popular Snow and Glow is back.   If you like the smell of cookies, well, this is the place!!    Also home to the cookie shots, which are seriously amazing. Forget that other Yoda, it's all about Wooden Yoda.
During our media reception, we got to take a look at some of the amazing food and merchandise available.   One of the new shows this year for Knott's Merry Farm is "Home for the Holidays".  It's a great holiday sing-along that features all the singers at the farm.  Literally all of them. =)  Every.Single.One.  Alright everybody, that wraps it up for our coverage of the opening weekend of Knott's Merry Farm. We will most definitely be back.  You can find out more information about Knott's Merry Farm here.

 Last weekend we headed back out to Knott's Merry Farm for more holiday fun, to try some more of the treats and to finally see the Snoopy on Ice Show. We of course took a look at the construction progress of Calico River Rapids. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome back to Knott's Merry Farm!!  A nice housewarming gift for some members of Team Park Journey  Let's check out what's up with Calico River Rapids  Not much over here yet  Or here  We don't think over here either  We're sure work is going on, but we can't see it yet. One thing we are hoping for are new rafts. Or at the very least, new seat belts.  Hey there HangTime  Now that's a wreath  Let's go check out the ice show. Easily the most popular show at the park.    Merry Christmas Snoopy  The show is always a favorite of ours, but for some reason about 10 minutes into the show it stopped suddenly. There was never an announcement that it was cancelled and we ended up leaving after about 15 minutes. But what we saw was fantastic of course.  Mmmm, Cookies  Mmmm, Churros  Hey Christmas Tree  Check out our video of the tree lighting ceremony from Sunday We had another great day at Knott's, we didn't get to try some of the food we wanted to. We may have to go back after Xmas to try the rest. Related Videos:
Related Updates:  The Holiday Season is here, and last night we were out at Knott's Merry Farm for our first holiday event of the season. It's another amazing year at Merry Farm, lots of great new things to see, holiday food and the parks merchandise game continues to improve. Let's head in and see!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Merry Farm!! Sure, it's only November, and I'm usually a Grinch when it comes to Holiday stuff so early in the year. But as I said on our social media during the event, I didn't seem to mind this year. There's been so much bad stuff going on lately that a bit of Holiday Cheer was exactly what we needed. We hope you feel the same.   No fog, but lots of pretty lights.   And snow  No more Dark Ride for 2018. Maybe next year they should have a holiday overlay to the Dark Ride for Merry Farm? =)  Lots of great new decorations in The Boardwalk   Obligatory construction update  Really loved the decorations in Fiesta Village     Be sure to check out our video from our visit featuring Snow and Glow and more around the park. We'll cover the shows the next time we visit.  They also had a great opening night tree lighting ceremony.  The park truly does look amazing all times of the year, but especially during Merry Farm  Camp Snoopy was very colorful   These swans got stuck  Santa's Christmas Cabin is back where you can try a variety of holiday treats, and of course, hang out with the big guy.    Speaking of Santa's Cabin ... let's check out some of the food  Amazing    Elote is always awesome   This was interesting. I'm not a fan of sweet potato so I didn't enjoy it as much as others did.  If you get one treat at Knott's Merry Farm, make it this. I need this recipe.   Yule log. Not a log, I don't have a log. If I had a log not in the sense that you think I said I did.  Some awesome Merry Farm merch available this year as well. May have to expand my closet beyond Halloween shirts. =)    Thanks for checking out our Knotts Merry Farm Update. We wish you all the best.  Don't forget, if you get cold, be sure to put your lamb over your shoulders. =)  Related Videos:
Related Updates:  Happy Tuesday Everybody!! We are slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things after the New Year and after a bit of an extra week off it's time to get back into regular updates. Today we have another New Years Eve update from Matt as he spent the evening at Knott's Berry Farm with his lovely wife Rose. Due to a bit of wet weather it was an awesome, kick back night at Knott's. Written by Matthew Nelson Welcome to Knott's on the last day of 2016!   Before we head into the park, let's take a look at the Knott's Marketplace.   We were asked by CA Great America to send them some pictures of Knott's Marketplace for a recent planning commission meeting. Would be awesome to see a similar Marketplace come to that park. It would be a great hit.   Amazing sandwiches and then Cinnamon Rolls!!  Remember when people used to debate online if this was an inversion or not? Good times, good times.  The Sky Cabin was still closed on NYE.  Lots of special lighting and entertainment      75 Seconds until 2017!!   Awesome fireworks show       What better way to kick off the New Year than with a Funnel Cake!!  Alright, that's gonna wrap it up for this Knott's update. We will be back at the park soon for the Knott's Pink event, be sure you check out all of that info here.  Also, the Active Fire and Police Personell free entry is back and you can find all of that info here.  Related Updates:  Today we have our update from the always amazing "Knott's Merry Farm". This year the event is back and better than ever with a plethora of amazing shows, the always amazing food and of course everything else that makes Knott's Berry Farm one of the best theme parks in the country. Unfortunately on the day we visited it was a bit rainy so we opted to not ruin the DSLR so these are all iPhone pics, but we will be back soon and will get more pictures and see more of the shows. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Merry Farm!! The tree looks great in it's new location where the stage used to be.  Merry Moo  It was my daughters boyfriends first visit to Knott's (yes, ever) so we had to have some fun with Sad Eye Joe, who was pretty surprised it was his first visit too.  Which obviously meant experiencing some of the classic Knott's attractions (shucks). ;)  Christmas on the Calico Railroad is always fun  Love the cold rainy weather   We also had to check out Santa, who was on a break the first time we stopped by. You can get lots of yummy snacks too that were left behind by those Red Barn folks. ;)   Brief interlude for a construction update  Ooooooh ... Aaaaaaah ... New Boardwalk BBQ coming in 2017.  No trip to Knott's Merry Farm is complete without seeing "Merry Christmas, Snoopy" ... On Ice.  Feel free to check out the slide show from this amazing performance. It gets better every year. Unfortunately due to the rain "It's the Merriest Christmas Charlie Brown" wasn't showing that night. We'll be back soon to check it out.  Rain at Knott's means that pretty much every ride was shut down, but it was awesome just walking around and enjoying the park. Would have made for some nice DSLR pics if I wanted to get it wet. ;)  We checked out the caves in Camp Snoopy, I remember them being bigger. ;)  Back in Ghost Town, all the lights are on. (we sadly missed the snow too)     SANTA!! I KNOW HIM!!  Love the tree, it really fits in this spot.
Thanks to Knott's for having us out for Merry Farm, we will be back at some point over the next two weekends for more holiday fun, more shows, better pics, and obviously more food. For more info on Knott's Merry Farm click here. Related Updates: |
