Beyond just the mazes, 2025 Knott’s Scary Farm packs several walkways around the park with scare zones themed to different original concepts bringing terrifying sights and sounds to unlife — and with no wait to experience the horrors!
Here’s a look at each scare zone you can experience during 2025 Knott’s Scary Farm.
What to Expect
All five Scare Zones from last year return with frightful surprises including The Gauntlet which brings Game of Thrones vibes with a horror twist in Camp Snoopy; Gore-ing 20’s with the decadence and debauchery of a bygone area near Charleston Circle, Forsaken Lake with swampy unearthly undead near Silver Bullet, CarnEVIL with clowns and carnie creeps on the Boardwalk, and, of course, the Ghost Town Streets with treacherous old western scares screaming back to life.
Ghost Town Streets
Ghost Town Streets is the original — and still most terrifying — scare zone that started it all. Bands of half-human, half-animal monsters prowl the streets and inhabit the fog. Beware the sneaky Sliders who lunge from every fog-filled corner of the land.
The Gauntlet
Encounter the King and Queen of the realm, maniacal Jesters, brutal Barbarians, wicked Wizards, and lawless Peasants, and they’re all ready for a royally good time… making you scream. All Hail the King or suffer the wrath of The Gauntlet!
Gore-ing 20’s
Indulge in the dark decadence of a by-gone era where gangsters run illicit hooch for the ghostly revelers and the otherworldly musicians play the music of the damned. Make sure you stay away from the Devil’s Elixir!
CarnEVIL
Something CarnEVIL this way comes and this freak show is full of countless deviant clowns who crave nothing more than your undying attention. Be on the look out as this craven cast of cavorting carnies crash this cataclysmic carnival.

Forsaken Lake
Gothic creatures are unleashed from dark and murky waters, ready to prey on any unsuspecting fool who enters their domain. Keep a weather eye or you might just be one of their latest victims dragged back to into the mysterious depths.
