California’s original theme park, Knott’s Berry Farm will feature five seasons of fun throughout 2025, including an interactive Ghost Town Alive! Experience in summer, followed by Knott’s Scary Farm from late September to October and Knott’s Merry Farm for the holiday season.

JW Marriott Anaheim Resort and The Viv Hotel Anaheim will both mark five years since opening this year, while a host of returning events will also attract visitors in 2026.
