Knott’s Scary Farm Opens for 2025 With Two New Mazes, Including The Zoo’s 11 p.m. Blackout Run

Early coverage highlights original, in-house storytelling with large-scale production craft.

Overview

  • The after-hours, separate-admission event runs on select nights from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1 at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park.
  • The Zoo casts guests into a government super-soldier experiment with giant puppetry and aerials, then switches to a blackout flashlight format at 11 p.m. nightly.
  • Mary: The Haunting of Worth Home retells the Bloody Mary myth as a slower, atmospheric maze built around ritualized storytelling.
  • Eight mazes return, including Widows, Eight Fingers Nine: The Boogeyman, The Chilling Chambers, Cinema Slasher, Room 13, The Grimoire, Mesmer: Sideshow of the Mind, and Origins, with The Grimoire and Mesmer in their final season.
  • Five scare zones are back—Ghost Town Streets, Forsaken Lake, Gore-ing 20s, CarnEVIL, and The Gauntlet—along with multiple live shows and the Boulet Brothers as event hosts.
