Fright Farm continues to be hailed as one of Pennsylvania’s most immersive haunted attractions, and with good reason! 2025 saw the haunt open for its 36th season with one of the largest, boldest and most ambitious themes yet, and we were invited out to see what PJ Marinelli and his team had “entombed” for their guests this year.

Season’s Greetings from the Sweetest Place on Earth! We’ve taken to formally kicking off our holiday season with a late November visit to Hersheypark for their annual Christmas Candylane event, and we were excited to continue that tradition this year.

This year, however, the savory offerings seemed to be more limited…so we instead built an itinerary around the events, the characters and the experiences offered throughout the park.
Once per year, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world throws two of the grandest Halloween Parties in the United States. While the park is better known for its Knott’s Scary Farm event, our visit was all about the more family-friendly daytime visit to Knott’s Spooky Farm, and all of the events, experiences and attractions that it offers.
