SFMM Halloween Event

Afternoon everyone!

I need some schooling over here, SFMM Fright Fest.

It appears no separate admission is required, haunted houses cost extra but there is an admission ticket which covers both park and houses.

Flash Pass, good all day, or only until the Fright Fest starts?

Flash Pass recommended for October 14th, Friday?

Anything else I should know?

Going from Florida to California for the week, plan to hit SFMM, Knott's, and DL/DCA.

Thanks!

Oh almost forgot, food! Any local places around the area that shouldn't be missed?
