The legacy of the PEANUTS characters is inextricably linked to drawing and during the 2026 Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration, you can put pencil to paper because class is in session at the PEANUTS Sketch School.

Here’s everything you need to know about PEANUTS Sketch School during the 2026 Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration!

About the Show

There are multiple sessions each day and each one will feature a tutorial on how to draw a different PEANUTS character. Each session features a different character and although the schedule isn’t posted, you can always ask a team member to know who’s next in the lineup.

When you enter, find a seat and grab a clipboard with paper and a pencil and get ready for the resident art teacher to help you sketch characters just like Charles M. Schulz himself! NOTE: For younger artists (or those less artistically inclined) you can swap out your pencil and blank paper for crayons and a coloring sheet instead!

How to Watch

PEANUTS Sketch School takes place at the Wilderness Dance Hall in Ghost Town and lasts approximately 20 minutes. While it is not necessarily in high demand with most guests in the park, limited capacity for the venue does mean that showings can fill up.

Doors open roughly a half hour before showtime but there’s no need to arrive more than 15 minutes early unless you are particular about where you sit in the theater but a large screen in the center of the stage is easily visible from anywhere in the house. Kids are invited to share a piece of rug and draw along with the art teacher. Otherwise, all guests are welcomed to sit in chairs and sketch away.

Typical showtimes are 12:30 pm, 1:30 pm, 3:30p pm, 4:30 pm, 5:30 pm, and 6:30 pm but always check the app for showtimes on the day of your visit. The show may be dark on week days or have fewer showtimes.
