At Calico’s Town Hall, guests will enter a new, limited-time exhibit dedicated to “The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz.” This exhibit explores Schulz’s personal history and his role as the sole inspiration and artistic talent behind PEANUTS and its unique cast of characters.

Also new this year, Knott’s Berry Farm presents, Let’s Celebrate, a heartwarming musical tribute on the Calico Mine Stage in honor of PEANUTS’ 75th Anniversary. Snoopy, Charlie Brown and all their friends, as well as a host of singers and dancers, remind us why Peanuts is still beloved after 75 years! The Calico Mine Stage will transform at nightfall as the park hosts Snoopy’s Legendary Rooftop Concert where the Peanuts gang and the indie band, The Jelly of the Month Club, perform a high-energy spectacle sure to have everyone dancing.

The PEANUTS-inspired festivities will continue at the Bird Cage Theatre, where the park offers an experience that teaches the young and the young at heart how to draw their favorite PEANUTS characters.

Attention Aspiring Beagle Scouts!

The New Camp Snoopy at Knott’s Berry Farm Welcomes All Campers!

There’s More to Explore in 2024 at the Official Opening of the
Reimagined Camp Snoopy, plus, the Return of Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights!

Get your backpacks ready! The new Camp Snoopy officially opens on June 27th with four new attractions and a lot of summer camp fun with Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. The reimagined Camp Snoopy will allow campers of all ages to become full-fledged Beagle Scouts as they explore new rides, including a new family rollercoaster, a giant swing, off-road rally, plus new character experiences, interactive camp-tivities and the carefree fun and freedom of summer.

New Adventures in Camp Snoopy

As guests enter the world of Camp Snoopy, they become official campers. They’ll join Beagle Scout Master Snoopy and the entire Peanuts Gang for the camp’s annual jamboree, a fun week of camp competitions and activities. New scouts can begin their adventure at any of the four new or reimagined rides debuting at the High Sierra summer camp.

·         Snoopy’s Tenderpaw Twister Coaster allows campers to explore the great outdoors on this first family coaster to take riders up a lift hill and then deliver a pint-sized launch, making this the perfect first, big coaster for parents and kids to experience together. The best part – guests get to ride twice so it’s double the fun and double the adventure every time.

·         Sally’s Swing Along is an all-new experience where campers can put their friendship badge in action and go on a swing and sing along to help Sally forget her frustration with Linus who has stood her up for a meet cute. The super-sized swing set offers kids and parents the taste of the good life as they sit side-by-side on the giant bench swing gliding 10 feet toward the sky, back and forth.

·         Rocky Mountain Trucking Company transforms into Camp Snoopy’s Off-Road Rally, where drivers race through the newly expanded track and terrain in their own Peanuts-themed four-wheel jeep. In this fun and colorful annual camp jamboree competition, campers will encounter funny road signs and obstacles to go over, around, and under while trying to find course checkpoints along the way.

·         Campers can board the newly themed Beagle Express and take a scenic journey on a locomotive ride. They’ll cross over a covered bridge and watch as Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang prepare for the jamboree events. Along the way, fellow campers decorate their cabins for a “Best Cabin” contest, prepare for potato sack races, and more. 

·         Rounding out the experience is the one-stop shop for campers to fill their bellies at Grizzly Creek Lodge. Campers can also take a trip to renovated Snoopy’s Camp Store to shop for all the essentials needed for camp and then some.

·         Finally, the former theater area will now transform into Beagle Scout Acres, a large green space, where kids and families can explore, enjoy lunch or a snack on shaded picnic tables or simply lie back and gaze at the drifting clouds above. Plus, campers of all ages can participate in a host of jamboree camp-tivities including special sing-a-longs around the new campfire fire pit. Guests can expect this new experience to open mid-summer.

Ghost Town Alive!

Your favorite town of Calico comes to life once again this summer with the return of the award-winning, interactive Ghost Town Alive! Guests are invited to become the star of this summer’s new action-packed storyline in the streets of Ghost Town. Each guest has the power to unlock secret missions with characters, influence the day’s events, and take on mind-challenging puzzles in this immersive version of the Old West. Ghost Town Alive! will offer new adventures, roles, and characters this summer on select days starting June 14.

Knott’s Summer Nights

A summer favorite continues after the sun goes down, with a nighttime summer party that extends the fun into the evening. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy bands from the local So-Cal music scene that rotate throughout the event on two stages. Knott’s “Summer Nights” transforms Calico Park into a neighborhood party like no other with a hub of live music, relaxing atmosphere, Instagram-able photo opportunities, and family-friendly games.

A summer party is not complete without an abundance of food and drinks, and no theme park does food quite like Knott’s. The Knott’s culinary team creates tasty twists to classic summer dishes, from Loaded Sloppy Joe Potato Skins, Chocolate Stuffed S’mores Churro and Orange Creamsicle Milkshakes. A great way to indulge in all the flavors of Summer is by purchasing a tasting card that allows guests to enjoy six tastings from a selection of over four dozen seasonal-inspired dishes and drinks. 

Knott’s Soak City

Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant Celebrates 90 Years!

On By TimothyIn Knott's Berry FarmLeave a comment

“The Famous Fried Chicken Led to the Creation of Southern California’s

First “Themed” Amusement Park“

The story of Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant begins in the 1920s when Walter and Cordelia Knott began farming their acres of leased land in the farm community of Buena Park. To make ends meet, Cordelia began serving hot biscuits and homemade preserves to customers of the family’s roadside produce stand. Word spread, and by 1934 it became necessary for Cordelia to expand her menu to include her now famous country-fried chicken.

On opening day on June 13, 1934, Cordelia served eight 65-cent dinners on her own wedding china. By 1940, visitors were standing in line for hours to enjoy Walter’s boysenberries and Cordelia’s chicken. The challenge of entertaining the crowds led Walter to create an authentic Ghost Town on the property and Southern California’s first “themed” amusement park was born. Today, Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant serves an average of 1,000 chickens daily to eager diners.

As this year marks its 90th anniversary, we are celebrating the legacy of this beloved establishment through a wide range of offerings all year long:

  • May 25 – September 2 – Start your day in a berry special way at the Berry Family Breakfast event, featuring delicious dishes and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Available on select weekends from 8 am to 11 am, starting from May 22 through September 2.

  • Select Dates in June and July – Seniors 65+ can treat themselves to a delightful Early Bird Senior Buffet Dinner every Tuesday from 3 pm to 5 pm, starting from June 18, June 25, July 2, and July 9.

Debuting this summer, Camp Snoopy will offer more to explore. Campers of all ages will be able to become full-fledged Beagle Scouts as they explore new rides, including a family coaster, along with new character experiences, entertainment, a dining hall, a camp store, plus more guest amenities. And next door to the park, every aspect of the Knott’s Hotel — from the front desk and lobby to the guest rooms and hotel restaurant – has been transformed to unveil a sophisticated farmhouse style that pays homage to founders Walter and Cordelia Knott.
