Here’s What You Need to Know for the PEANUTS Celebration this year!

Channel Your Inner Artist
At the Wilderness Dance Hall, park visitors can take part in PEANUTS Sketch School, an animation workshop where resident park artists will teach you how to sketch members of the PEANUTS Gang. You may want to visit this location a few times throughout the day to see how many different characters you get the chance to draw.

Unique Character Experiences
Throughout the day, members of the PEANUTS Gang will be walking around the park, always excited to make your acquaintance. Pig Pen can often be found at the Livery Stable, ever prepared to snap a photo with you. In Calico Park, guests can play at the Peanuts Cowboy Jamboree with Linus and Franklin. Horse races, horseshoe tosses, and other activities can be found in this area. Be sure to check the Knott’s Berry Farm app for a daily schedule of character meet-and-greets.

Sweets and Eats
The PEANUTS Celebration always boasts a long list of themed eats, treats, and beverages at locations throughout the park that are specific to the festival. Keep an eye out for their 2026 foodie guide that will be dropped prior to opening day.

Instagrammable Photo Opportunities
Photo opportunities of famous scenes from the comic strips are available for your Instagramming pleasure. Take a photo with Charlie Brown and his football, Linus and his blanket, Snoopy looking for a kiss, and speech bubble exclamations with iconic PEANUTS catchphrases to truly immerse yourself in the PEANUTS universe.

New Show: Knott's Express Trolley
Knott’s Express, a traveling musical adventure that will feature toe-tapping dance numbers, heartwarming songs from the Golden Age and plenty of other surprises along the way for Charlie Brown and his friends. For each show, the trolley will make three stops in the Boardwalk area, Charleston Circle and by Boardwalk Ballroom. This spirited medley of music and dance will be inspired by each stop’s location and songs include “Put on a Happy Face” to “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” Of course, the performance will be punctuated with dapper and colorful costumes, streamers and other touches of whimsical joy.

Maximize Your Time
Skip the line all day long with a Fast Lane Pass, which gives you priority access to all your favorite attractions like HangTime, GhostRider, Silver Bullet, Supreme Scream, and more. Be sure to view the Fast Lane Availability Calendar to ensure it will be offered the day of your visit. Please note that Fast Lane is not offered daily, as it is dependent on crowd levels of the day.

Leave Cash at Home
Knott’s Berry Farm is a cashless theme park, meaning that all cashiers throughout the park and at the parking booths will only accept credit, debit, or a smart device with Apple Pay or Google Pay in place of cash. If for any reason you only have cash or forgot your card at home, no need to fret, there are cash-to-card kiosks where you can load cash onto a card with any amount between $1 to $500.
