Taste of Merry Farm 2020 at Knott's Berry Farm

Last week we were invited out to check out the Taste of Merry Farm at Knott's Berry Farm. This was actually our first visit to the park since leap day as we hadn't been able to make it to any of the other "Taste" events. 

It was great being back out at the park, trying some food and just walking around one of our favorite places. 

I will admit, it felt kind of weird, but overall the park has done a great job of making the best out of a bad situation. Let's head in!

Hi Knott's!! We've missed you!! 
Picture
You can also check out our video walk-through of the event
Picture
Picture
It was a beautiful day 
Picture
First treat of the day were the fried green beans and tater-tot thing. The green beans were actually not very warm which was weird as the park had just opened. But the Tots were great!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Next up was the Cranberry Chocolate Tart and a Boysenberry Smoothie. The Tart was way too sweet for me, but the Smoothie was fantastic. I hope it stays on the menu somewhere. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Moo
Picture
Love the new look of the Schulz Theater 
Picture
Picture
Lots of new stuff to look at over here 
Picture
Lots of holiday goodies in the gallery & gifts shop 
Picture
Picture
Nice touch with the Hangtime car 
Picture
Picture
Picture
For the coaster nerds out there 
Picture
Picture
This looks fantastic!! 
Picture
If there was a Rose Parade in 2021 I could see this driving the parade route
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Let's head over to the Boardwalk 
Picture
Mashed Potatoes. Good. Cranberry Sauce. Good. Stuffing. Good. Chicken Strips. Good. Jack and Coke Frosty. Gooooood!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Calico Square looked fantastic of course 
Picture
Picture
BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese and a Boysenberry Beer 
Picture
Last up is Camp Snoopy 
Picture
Picture
A couple of selfies 
Picture
Picture
Hey Chuck!!

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.

Welcome to Knott's Merry Farm
Picture
The projection also snows 
Picture
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. 
Picture
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. 
Picture
Picture
No more pumpkin, but lots of pretty lights on the fountain. 
Picture
Picture
Absolutely love this tree above the surf shop
Picture
Picture
Picture
As well as the big bulbs at coasters
Picture
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. 
Picture
Picture
Feliz Navidad
Picture
Picture
Picture
Oddly, we found the decorations in Camp Snoopy to be rather minimal
Picture
Ghost Town is always one of our favorite places during Merry Farm. The Crafts fair is always fun. 
Picture
And of course the ever-popular Snow and Glow is back. 
Picture
Picture
If you like the smell of cookies, well, this is the place!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Also home to the cookie shots, which are seriously amazing. 
Forget that other Yoda, it's all about Wooden Yoda. 
Picture
Picture
During our media reception, we got to take a look at some of the amazing food and merchandise available. 
Picture
Picture
One of the new shows this year for Knott's Merry Farm is "Home for the Holidays". 
Picture
It's a great holiday sing-along that features all the singers at the farm. 
Picture
Literally all of them. =) 
Picture
Every.Single.One. 
Picture
Alright everybody, that wraps it up for our coverage of the opening weekend of Knott's Merry Farm. We will most definitely be back. 
Picture

Knott's Merry Farm and Calico River Rapids Update - December 12, 2018

12/10/2018

Picture
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.

Welcome back to Knott's Merry Farm!!
Picture
A nice housewarming gift for some members of Team Park Journey
Picture
Let's check out what's up with Calico River Rapids
Picture
Not much over here yet 
Picture
Or here
Picture
We don't think over here either 
Picture
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. 
Picture
Hey there HangTime 
Picture
Now that's a wreath 
Picture
Let's go check out the ice show. Easily the most popular show at the park. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Merry Christmas Snoopy
Picture
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. 
Picture
Mmmm, Cookies 
Picture
Mmmm, Churros 
Picture
Hey Christmas Tree
Picture
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.

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. 
Picture
Picture
No fog, but lots of pretty lights. 
Picture
Picture
And snow
Picture
No more Dark Ride for 2018. Maybe next year they should have a holiday overlay to the Dark Ride for Merry Farm? =) 
Picture
Lots of great new decorations in The Boardwalk
Picture
Picture
Obligatory construction update 
Picture
Really loved the decorations in Fiesta Village 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
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. 
Picture
They also had a great opening night tree lighting ceremony.
Picture
The park truly does look amazing all times of the year, but especially during Merry Farm
Picture
Camp Snoopy was very colorful 
Picture
Picture
These swans got stuck 
Picture
Santa's Christmas Cabin is back where you can try a variety of holiday treats, and of course, hang out with the big guy. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Speaking of Santa's Cabin ... let's check out some of the food
Picture
Amazing
Picture
Picture
Picture
Elote is always awesome 
Picture
Picture
This was interesting. I'm not a fan of sweet potato so I didn't enjoy it as much as others did. 
Picture
If you get one treat at Knott's Merry Farm, make it this. I need this recipe. 
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
Some awesome Merry Farm merch available this year as well. May have to expand my closet beyond Halloween shirts. =) 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Thanks for checking out our Knotts Merry Farm Update. We wish you all the best. 
Picture
Don't forget, if you get cold, be sure to put your lamb over your shoulders. =)

Unlike some other parks in the area, parking wasn't too bad upon arrival at Knott's in the mid afternoon. 
Picture
Walls up around the Chicken Dinner Restaurant which is now closed for it's big remodel. 
Picture
Lots of work going on to bring the Pan For Gold back to it's rightful place. 
Picture
Picture
Merry Farm is also over for the year. No more Christmas on Engine 41 for another 11 months or so. 
Picture
The Boardwalk on the last night of 2015
