So check out some tips for visiting that include pointers for avoiding crowds. (And see also: an important tip about butterbeer....) Halloween at California Theme Parks Knott's Berry Farm in southern California was the first theme park to stage Halloween events nearly four decades ago, and it's still going strong; lucky for us 'fraidy-cats, a cluster of other theme parks in southern CA offer Halloween fun that's not as seriously scary as Knott's Berry Farm (which does at least have Camp Spooky for younger kids.)
