Scare Zones
After dark there’s no safe place on the streets of Knotts. The scare zones have been carefully designed and perfected over the last 50 years. Proceed with caution as you as you make your way through dark paths, smoke filled streets and flashing lights. Don’t look now, there’s something hiding, waiting… just for you as you walk down the streets hoping to make it through unscathed. The monsters practice year round for the sinister month of fear with the 50th seeming to bring out even more of the monster within. Don’t miss the original and largest, Ghost Town scare zone. If clowns terrify you stay away from the Boardwalk where the evil clowns of scare zone carnevil play and wait for the perfect opportunity to fill you with fear. Step into the dark decadence era of the Gore-ing 20s scare zone where the secret speakeasy on memory lane ignited the deadly curse that haunts visitors. Creatures lurk in the dark murky waters of the gothic Foresaken Lake scare zone. New to the scene The Gauntlet scare zone is a reimagined version of the fan favorite. Wicked wizards, lawless peasants, barbarians, maniacal jesters and the wrathful King and Queen make up this reimagined zone.
