Knott’s mine ride was the first big attraction at the farm. Opened in 1960 this family-friendly ride takes visitors into a gold mine complete with caverns, waterfalls, and the mother load room. Over the years the mine received minor updates and additions. In 2014 the Calico Mine tour got a major upgrade. State-of-the-art animatronic figures, new lighting, special effects, and new mine cars.

A few of the buildings were moved from Calico Ghost Town near Barstow which was once owned by Walter Knott.

Hi DayTrippen. I was planning on taking my cousin, his wife, and their 11-year-old son to Knott’s in mid-August when they come to visit from England. I wanted to know more about the FREE PARKING area you briefly mentioned in the “Tips Before You Go” section. You said that there are free parking available along Stanton Ave “behind Soak City.” Did you mean on the street itself, or in an actual lot? Because when I look up that area on Google Maps, I can see a parking lot (pretty much empty too) in the section just north of Soak City (and east of the Knott’s Berry Farm Church of Reflections. But the gate that gives access to that lot from Stanton Ave is closed and there are signs on the outside that says “Do Not Enter” (I checked using street walk mode on Google Maps). Also, this lot actually seems connected to the official Knott’s Berry Farm “North Lot,” but there doesn’t seem to be any other way to get in except for that gate from Stanton (which again is closed and says “Do No Enter” from the outside).
People in other travel forums have suggested parking in the Buena Park mall lot, which is on the other side of Stanton Ave from the lot I was just talking about above, but I can see on Google Maps that you’d have to walk quite a bit to get to an official KBF lot so that you can take a tram to the park entrance. What about the western parking lot right across the street from the KBF Western Gate. Can guests park there for free and enter the park through that gate? Or is that an employee only parking lot (even though I did see a LOT OF CARS parked there on Google Maps)?
Hello Al
The free street parking area is directly behind Knott’s Soak City. Between Maple Street and Crescent on Stanton Ave. I imagine the parking spots fill up fast. I also see quite a few people parking at the Sears parking lot at the Buena Park Mall. There are signs posted for customer parking only. However, Sears is a ghost town these days. (I doubt if anyone would notice, but you never know).
If you park on Stanton you will have to walk up to Crescent, turn right, cross over Beach Blvd, then cut through Knott’s parking lot to the main entrance. There is no fence there and you will end up going under Ghost Rider coaster and passing by the marketplace and Knott’s Chicken Dinner before you get to the entrance.
The parking lot at the back of KBF on Western Avenue is employee parking.
Remember buy tickets online (on this site or another) so you don’t have to wait at the ticket booth. And have a great day.

So I’m planning a trip for August 3rd . me and my wife and 6 kids, is there a family deal package available or is it regular pricing. Also I have a 2 year old is there a fee for her entry?
Hello Brian
Children age 3 -11 will need a Junior Ticket. Under age 3 they are free.
Have a wonderful day at Knott’s Berry Farm. Be sure to talk a walk around the ghost town. Many of the buildings are from real western towns, not props.
What would be the cost for 3 adults and 2 children in the month of July on a family plan ?
Hello Steve
5 x $43 price would be $215.00 plus a very low service fee off $2 per ticket.
Best deal around

kids 1 day pass is cheaper than adults. Is the season pass also cheaper? Also if grand kids get a pass from someone else can I get my money back? They don’t need 2 passes. Thanks
Knotts Season pass can only be purchased from the theme park. I would wait for 2017 season passes, this year is almost over.
Knott’s Family Pack tickets are cheaper but you need to buy at least two tickets to get the reduced rate.
We wanted to come visit Knotsberry Farm on the 27th or 28th of October. I’ve read comments that the park closes early for Scare hours. How old does the child have to be to stay in the park? He’s 14 yrs old.
Thanks…
Hello Angie
14 years old should be fine for Knotts Scray Farm. You will have to decide if you want to go during the day or evening. Knotts scary farm is a separate ticket from general admission tickets.
Daytime will be a lot less crowded.
Hope this helps

I’m not sure I understand the Family Pack tickets… I want 3 individual tickets (Adult) for Knotts. It’s cheaper if I order the Family Pack ones, but the “Family” is throwing me off. Help, before I purchase.

Have fun at knotts
Does anyone know how much is the knotts berry farm golden pass with parking at Cosco?
Season passes can only be purchased from Knott’s berry Farm.
You can get two hours of free parking at Knott’s, used to be three just enough time for season pass holders to get a few early morning rides in before the crowds arrive.
I imagine they changed it to two hours to discourage this.
Do the season pass have an invite for one free guess
Hello Lisa
Knotts Berry Farm season pass can only be bought directly from the theme park.
Season passes do include “Bring A Friend Discount Days” Admission is not free for the friend, it is the same price as tickets on this page.
