Days in the Park Goes to Knott's Merry Farm!


If you've spent any time at Days in the Park in the past, you'll no doubt have noticed long ago that my blog has always been one aimed at my own personal adventures, and the things that I most enjoy doing and partaking of myself.

I've been able to do many great things since I've started Days in the Park, and to me, life is just one big "park" that's meant to be enjoyed and experienced to its fullest.

One of the best things I've been able to do since I started this journey and have put myself out there as a writer, is that it often gives me the opportunity to experience things I might not otherwise get to as part of the media, and this year has certainly been no exception as I've been able to experience two different events, well, one is coming up, at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. I was able to attend their annual "Scary Farm" event (haunt) earlier this month (don't be surprised if you don't see an article all about that in the next couple of days as Halloween winds down (I wanted to do it as an homage and to get people pumped up for next year), but thanks to the blog, I've also been invited back near the end of November to experience a whole new (new to me, anyways) event at Knott's, their annual "Merry Farm" event, in honor of Christmas and the upcoming holiday season.


In fact, this year, Joy itself (and what's better than a little joy in one's hears?) is in season at Knott’s Merry Farm!

Just a few of this year's highlights include:
  • Snoopy and a cast of world class ice skaters perform Merry Christmas, Snoopy!, a whimsical ice show bursting with characters and remarkable skating. 
  • In Santa’s Christmas Cabin, guests can share their wish lists with jolly ol’ St. Nick and savor some of Knott’s world famous holiday treats.
  • Take a trip back in time and celebrate Christmas in the Old West town of Calico! Climb aboard the Calico Railroad for Christmas on Engine 41 and meet Ghost Town residents eager to share their holiday plans with you. 
  • Those looking for great gift ideas can shop Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village, a shopping wonderland where local artisans demonstrate their craft and sell their unique gifts. 
  • In the evening, join Snoopy as he lights up the night in the Snoopy’s Merriest Tree Lighting show, then take a stroll through Ghost Town where snow gently falls while thousands of sparkling lights dance to the beat of holiday music.

And as always, Knott's continues to support our military by making their season even jollier than it may have been, by letting them in on the holiday cheer with some fantastic savings geared towards them, and thanking them for their service to all of us and this country.

Knott’s Berry Farm continues its tradition of honoring the brave men and women who have served
in the U.S. military, both past and present, with free admission during its 26th annual Military Tribute.

Knott’s is the only theme park that has continuously offered free admission to veterans and active military personnel in honor of our nation’s Veteran’s Day holiday.

And while you're at it, now might be a great time (since you should definitely be thinking of going by this point anyways) to look at some of the fantastic season pass options that Knott's has going. You won't get a better bang for your buck, and now's the perfect time to either buy your own passes, or perhaps purchase one as Christmas presents for your loved ones, so that they can look forward to enjoying Knott's Berry Farm for the entire upcoming season, and year!
