Knott’s new chaperone policy goes into effect this weekend

Therefore, as part of the park’s commitment to providing “wholesome family fun” for visitors of all ages, a companion policy from Knott’s will begin on Friday, July 22, 2022 and will remain in effect on Fridays and Saturdays until new order.

Knott Escort Policy:

Under the policy, all guests age 17 or younger must be accompanied by an attendant age 21 or older to be admitted to the park. The accompanying person must present a valid photo ID with date of birth. An accompanying person may not accompany more than three guests aged 17 or under per day. Companions must accompany their group upon entry, remain with their group at all times during their visit to the park, and be available by phone throughout their stay. Guests 17 years of age or younger who are inside the park unaccompanied by a chaperone will be subject to ejection.

Customers should note that the requirement for an attendant applies to all ticket and season pass holders for Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak City Waterpark.
