By the end of this post, if you don't have a 2024 Knott's Season Pass already, you will most likely want one! I can't think of a better deal in Orange County for family entertainment. By getting a Knott's Season Pass, you can even save money during the year on seasonal fun...which I will show you!
Just keep reading!
Why am II trying to convince you to get a Knott's Berry Farm Season Pass? Because I honestly love Knott's so much, and truly feel that it's a great way for families to have fun together. Plus, if you keep reading, you will see why it's such a fantastic deal.
The great thing about Knott's Berry Farm is that they constantly change up the fun attractions with the seasons during the year. This means that you are always getting to enjoy something new that coincided with the holidays during the year!
(Disclosure, I am a Knott's Ambassador. But that's because I love going so much that I applied for the position. And even if I wasn't I would still go just s much.)
What is a Knott's Berry Farm Season Pass?
First of all, what is a Knott's Season pass? It's a pass that you can purchase, that gets you into the park 364 days a year! There are NO BLACK OUT DATES except Christmas (when the park is closed to all).

And this is just the beginning. Imagine not having to spend money every weekend on family entertainment. You can just take the family to Knott's! As you can see from above, there are lots of fun events happening every month at Knott's Berry Farm.
Finally...if all these things haven't convinced you to get a Knott's Season Pass, I've got one more thing...
Come to Knott's to Hang Out with Me!
I am excited to have been selected as a Knott's Ambassador again this year! And my family and I are at Knott's almost every weekend. Plus, the kids and I go multiple times peer week during summer to play at Ghost Town Alive!
And finally, I personally go while the kids are at school with some of the other Knott's Ambassadors. Knott's is not just for the kids! So send me a message if you want a mom's day out at Knott's Berry Farm. It's all about relaxing, rides (or not), sight seeing, mom talk and food!
Now go get a pass before the prices go up! The longer you wait, the more they cost. Right now, 2024 Season Passes are the cheapest they'll be.

I’m convinced!! But I already loved Knott’s so I’m easily persuaded.
