Knott's Berry Farm Tickets Cost: Prices, Fees & Ways to Save

Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, sells its tickets on a sliding scale. The park lists a gate price and a lower online price, and the online price changes by date. A flexible weekday in a shoulder season can cost much less than a summer Saturday.

Admission is only part of a visit. Parking, line-skipping passes, and the Halloween event add to the bill, and season passes change the math for anyone going more than once. The sections below cover each cost and show where the savings are.

The park advertises a gate price and a lower online price for a regular one-day ticket. The online rate is a starting point for flexible dates, and peak days cost more.

The gate price for an adult is $110. The lowest online price is $65, and the park markets select days as up to 40 percent off the gate price. Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the shoulder seasons, such as late February, March, late September, and early October, tend to be the cheapest. Summer Saturdays and Scary Farm weekends tend to cost the most.

Military members, veterans, and first responders can buy tickets online starting at $57. The discount is verified through ID.me before checkout, according to La Jolla Mom.

Three season pass tiers cover 2026. They expanded after the Six Flags merger, so higher tiers include more parks.

The Season Pass costs $120 and covers unlimited Knott's visits with no blockout dates. The Gold Pass costs $150 and adds California, Arizona, and Mexico Six Flags parks and Soak City. The Prestige Pass costs $300 and adds all Six Flags parks nationwide, free general parking, and other perks. One guide estimates that you need about two visits for the Season Pass to pay for itself, comparing it with a single-day price near the gate rate. Run the numbers for your own plans, since online prices vary by date.

Season passholders can also buy discounted Bring-A-Friend tickets, which start well below the single-day price.

Parking is separate from admission, and so is the line-skipping service.

Daily general parking costs $40 per vehicle when bought online. The All-Season Parking Pass costs $90. A Daily Fast Lane pass starts at $75 online, in addition to your ticket. The All-Season Fast Lane costs $625 per person and is valid at participating Six Flags parks based on your pass tier. Prestige passholders get general parking included. Hotel and metered lots are available nearby, and parking lots open one hour before the park.

Scary Farm is a separate ticketed Halloween event. A daytime ticket does not cover it, and the event runs on select nights from September 17 through October 31, 2026.

A single-night ticket starts at $65 online, before taxes. The Scary Farm 2026 Pass is listed at $164. A Fright & Fast Lane add-on starts at $139 and does not include admission. Peak nights cost more than the starting price, so check the date you want before comparing a pass with single tickets.
