Ticket sales and reservations will be available April 26th at 10am PST. Season Passholders get early access to the park two weeks before it reopens to the general public and will be among the first to experience the all-new 4-D interactive dark ride, Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair.
Space is limited and reservations are required. Reservations will be available starting April 26 at 10am PST. The system allows you to make reservations up to September 6, 2021 as of today.
After purchasing your Season Pass online, or if you already have a valid Season Pass, you must reserve your visit date and arrival time through the online reservation portal or the Store tab on the Knott’s Berry Farm mobile app. Please note that your preferred visit date may not be available.
When starting the reservation process, please have your Season Pass number(s) available.

On the next screen, you will be able to select an available visit date and arrival time for your group.
Following the date and time selection, please enter your valid Season Pass number(s).
Once the barcodes have been validated, you will be able to schedule your reservation(s).
After you have made the reservation, you will receive a confirmation screen and shortly thereafter, an email confirmation. These will help you confirm that the transaction was processed.
The reservation will be attached to your Season Pass and you will only need to present it to be scanned for entry.
If you need to purchase a parking pass, we recommend you do so now to avoid paying at the parking toll booth.
Our reopening plan calls for new arrival processes to prepare everyone for a safe and successful day at the park. Here’s what you’ll see and experience when you arrive at Knott's Berry Farm:
At the Knott's Berry Farm parking toll booth, you will be required to show proof of parking payment. If you do not have a parking voucher, you may pay with a cashless payment method such as a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
As soon as you exit your vehicle, go ahead and put on your face covering and keep it on while at the park. A face covering is always required except while dining at a table or bench, while waiting in line for water attractions at Soak City Waterpark or when experiencing water attractions or pools. Face coverings should completely cover the nose and mouth, and not have exhalation valves or vents, which allow virus particles to escape. All guests age 2 and older are required to wear a face covering.
As you approach the front gate, you will be asked to confirm that no one in your party has been exposed to or experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 10 days. If your group does not pass the health assessment, we will ask you to reschedule your visit to a different date.
At the gate, our Knott's Berry Farm bag policy remains in place.
At the turnstiles, scan your Season Pass or single-day ticket inside the mobile app and let the fun begin!

Will more reservation spaces be added after a day goes online for reservations?
If a reservation is canceled, that space will be added to the inventory available online. And periodically, we may be able to adjust total inventory.
If you want to modify your reservation, just go into your account or via the app to make the change. You will only need the transaction number. Cancelations can only be done over the phone so it’s just best to modify your date if needed. There is no penalty for no shows.

Am I required to buy parking online?
It is not required, but it is strongly recommended that you purchase parking in advance online before visiting the park.
Platinum Season Passes include parking so you just need to have your Season Pass available to be scanned at the parking toll booth.
Some ticket packages include parking, so you just need to have the barcode for that package available to be scanned at the parking toll booth.
Otherwise, please purchase a parking voucher online. One voucher is needed per car. This will be scanned at the parking toll booth.
I’m a new passholder and I have not yet visited the park to process my Season Pass. What do I need to do before visiting? As a new Passholder without a Season Pass card, you will need to process your Season Pass or use the barcode number on your Season Pass e-voucher.
To make Season Pass processing easier and contact-free, you can now handle this online.
Simply create or login to your Knott’s Berry Farm website account, click “Manage Passes”, click “ADD MY PASS” and enter the Ticket ID you received when you purchased online along with any other outstanding profile information. Once you’ve completed adding your pass, you’re all set to visit. You can even add your pass to the mobile app for quick and convenient entry into the park.
