What security procedures are implemented at the park?

Last updated over 6 years ago

The safety of our guests and associates is our number one priority, and we have implemented several enhanced security procedures at all entrance gates. As part of the process:

  • Guests arriving at the park will go through metal detection every public operating day. 
  • All bags, purses, backpacks, waist packs, etc. will be examined prior to entering.
  • Sharp objects (including pocket knives and metal chains), firearms, or other items that could be considered a weapon are strictly prohibited and should be left at home or secured in your vehicle.  
  • Please see our separate FAQ on outside food and beverages.
We use a variety of methods in securing our parks including uniformed and plain clothes officers, and video surveillance monitoring. Knott’s Berry Farm does not tolerate guests who fight and/or harass other guests while on our property. People who engage this this behavior are subject to being ejected and potentially banned from the park, and may be subject to arrest by local police.
