Knotts is overflowing with monsters and they have a few Scare Zones, they completely transform the park every year just for Halloween. The monsters/zombies/killer clowns, etc.... are very well trained. They will scare you, but not touch you or harrass you (unless you want them to!!)

No, the scare actors (known as "monsters") at Knott's Scary Farm are strictly prohibited from touching guests, and this rule is equally reciprocal: guests must not touch the actors. As of the 2025–2026 season, Knott's Berry Farm maintains a rigorous Code of Conduct for its haunt events to ensure safety for both performers and visitors. While actors will jump out, scream, and invade your personal space to create a "scare," they are trained to maintain a physical boundary. If an actor accidentally brushes against you in a crowded maze, it is unintentional, but deliberate physical contact from an actor is a violation of park policy. Conversely, any guest who hits, pushes, or touches an actor can be immediately removed from the park without a refund. These boundaries are essential for maintaining the immersive yet safe environment that the event is known for, allowing for high-intensity scares without physical risk.
