Knott's Merry Farm

By courtney lewis October 29, 2014

November 22nd kicks off the 29th annual Knott’s Merry Farm Season. This holiday event  includes park-wide lavish decorations, live entertainment, festive food and a shopping wonderland filled with local artisans. It is such a wonderful way to enjoy the season - my family and I always have such a good time at this holiday celebration. We love the amazing Christmas decorations and the tree was the biggest we have ever seen. The live shows are magical and entertaining and the food is always delicious.
This year, instead of more toys (that are taking over our house), experiences and a sesson pass to Knott's Berry Farm are at the top of the list. For a limited time a 2015 season pass is just $76.50 or nine easy installment payments of $8.50. You also receive one FREE 2014 visit.
