Knott's Berry Farm ticket prices in 2026
Knott's sells dated tickets and every day has its own price. In the official online store, the 1-day ticket (Park Ticket) ranges from $65 on quiet weekdays to $89 over Thanksgiving, on peak weekends and between Christmas and New Year's. On Thursday, 5 November 2026, it cost $72. At the gate, it is $110. There is a single price from age 3, with no child or senior ticket: a 3-year-old pays the same as an adult. Taxes may be added.

| Park Ticket, 1 dated day | $65–$89 online | If you already know which day you are going |
| Good Any Day | $95 | No fixed date: any one day until 3 January 2027 |

The entry-level pass at Knott's is called the Season Pass, not Silver. The 2027 pass is already valid for the rest of 2026 and includes Knott's Spooky Farm and Merry Farm. Our pick: if you are going once, a weekday Park Ticket is the logical buy; if you plan to come back, the Season Pass pays for itself from the second visit.

When it is cheapest
What brings the price down most is buying online and choosing the right day. To also see which days are least crowded, check our crowd calendar for Knott's.
- Buying online saves you $21 to $45 per person compared with the gate price.
- $65 days: 9, 10, 12, 16 to 19 and 30 November, and 1 to 4 and 7 to 10 December 2026. The most expensive, at $89: 27 and 28 November, 5 December, 26 to 31 December and 1 and 2 January. From 4 to 8 January 2027 prices drop to $69. The store does not yet sell dates after 10 January 2027.
- Season Pass 2027: $120 upfront, or $30 at purchase and 10 payments of $9. If you already have a day ticket, you can upgrade it to a pass at Guest Services before you leave.
- Bring-A-Friend: from $54 if you go with someone who has a pass or membership.
- Military and first responders: from $29 with ID.me, up to 6 tickets, cannot be combined with other offers.
- Black Friday: in 2025 Knott's did not discount tickets or passes, and it has not this year either. Only the hotel has a deal: book 3 nights before 30 November 2026 and the third one is free. The $79 Silver Pass you will see advertised is for Six Flags Magic Mountain and does not include Knott's. More parks in our Black Friday theme park guide.

Where to buy tickets
Buy on the official Knott's website or its online store: that is where you get the $65 to $89 prices, while at the gate you pay $110.

The Knott's Hotel sells packages with admission, breakfast and hotel parking, but does not publish the price on its website.
