Yes, you are fully allowed to take a camera to Knott's Berry Farm for personal photography and videography. Photography is a huge part of the experience, especially in the historic Ghost Town area where "atmospheric" shots of blacksmiths and old buildings are popular. However, there are strict safety restrictions on rides: you are generally prohibited from taking any loose items, including cameras and smartphones, on high-thrill attractions for the safety of yourself and those below. Hand-held filming or using a "chest mount" is usually not permitted on most roller coasters unless specifically authorized. For 2026 visitors, Knott's also maintains a "Chaperone Policy" and "Code of Conduct" that prohibits unsolicited photography or video that disrupts other guests' experiences or interferes with park operations. Professional equipment like tripods, lighting rigs, or drones require prior approval from the park's media relations department. For the average guest, a standard DSLR or a high-quality smartphone is perfectly fine for capturing memories of the Peanuts characters and the park's world-class coasters from the ground.
