Last weekend the older kids and I packed up our warm clothes, umbrellas and our happy selves and went on down to Knotts Merry Farm for a media day o’ merry fun (all opinions are my own). To our happy surprise, the rain stopped just before we arrived and we were able to ride all of the rides, eat all of the food, see all of the sights and enjoy ourselves as much as we wanted. Apparently plenty of other Knotts lovers felt the same way, because the park was actually quite busy.
This was our first time to Knotts Merry Farm and by far, our favorite. Knotts Berry Farm is the perfect natural location for Christmas. Seriously. The deco just goes perfectly with Christmas decorations.
Highlights of Knotts Merry Farm:
“It’s Christmas Snoopy On Ice” – was by far the best show on ice I’ve seen. The elaborate costumes combined with ice skating stunts and the peanuts gang all under a half hour was superb.
Santa’s Christmas Cabin – located in the Wilderness Dance Hall. It was warm and cozy, with loads of treats like cinnamon buns, ice cream, coffee, cookies and Santa!
Christmas on Engine 41 – although “Tom Sugarfoot” freaked my kids out a bit with all of his innocent questions, the ride aboard the calico steam train is always fun.
Camp Snoopy comes alive at night with lights! – Camp Snoopy came alive when the sun went down with music and millions of twinkly lights.
Although I did not intend to stay at Knotts Merry Farm for the entire day, we ended up doing just that. With a delicious dinner at the Ghost Town Grill, which I highly recommend, Christmas shopping in Calico, rides in Camp Snoopy and so much more – we had a GREAT time. Thank you Knotts Berry Farm for a truly wonderful day!
