Planning Theme Park Trips

Until 1972, the year that Knott's Berry Farm transformed its Southern California park into Knott's Scary Farm, parks didn't embrace Halloween. Most generally shut their gates soon after Labor Day. Now, however, virtually every park has jumped on the hay wagon with elaborate haunted houses, shows, and other Halloween hoopla. Discover where to find spooky fun in the weeks leading up to Halloween.
Most theme parks have rides, entire lands, and other features for very young visitors. But a few parks are geared entirely for the 12-and-under set. Discover magical places where your young kids would be able to ride most of the rides.
