by Theme Park Center September 12, 2023

A Season Pass is one of the most popular passes at Knott's Berry Farm.

In this page, we'll explain what a Knott's Berry Farm Season Pass is, the differences between the various season passes, what perks they offer, how you can pay for it, and even the upgrades that you can make.

What is a Knott's Berry Farm Season Pass?

A Knott's Season Pass allows a pass holder to visit the park an unlimited number of times throughout the 'season' in a year, on all days that are open to the public.

Perks can vary depending on which type of Season Pass you purchase.

Some Season Passes can include benefits such as:

Unlimited Visits to Knott's Berry Farm & Soak City
Bring a Friend Discount Tickets
Free Parking
Access to the Preferred Park Entrance
Discounts on Food & Merchandise

It''s important to know that Season Passes do not provide access to special events such as Knott's Scary Farm.

You'll have to purchase a separate Knott's Scary Farm ticket to gain entrance to this event.

Types of Season Passes at Knott's Berry Farm

There are three types of Season Passes at Knott's Berry Farm including:

Season Pass
Gold Pass
Prestige Pass

Season Pass Differences

A Season Pass is perfect for visitors who are only interested in having unlimited visits to Knott's Berry Farm.

A Gold Pass provides visitors with unlimited access to both Knott's Berry Farm and Knott's Soak City (water park).

A Season Pass & Gold Pass do not include complimentary parking.

The Prestige Pass is the most luxurious as it includes everything the Gold Pass offers plus Preferred Parking, access to VIP areas, early entry to the park, 1 Fast Lane Pass per visit, and Bring-A-Friend tickets.

1. Season Pass

A Knott's Season Pass is the cheapest of the three options and is about half the price of the Platinum Pass.

2. Gold Pass

The main perk that a Knott's Gold Pass offers that a Season Pass doesn't is unlimited access to Knott's Soak City (water park).
