One (1) chaperone may accompany no more than ten (10) guests ages 15 or younger per day. In addition, the chaperone must accompany their party during entry, remain inside the park during their visit, and be available by phone throughout their stay.

Knott's Berry Farm does not have a strict "cap" on the total number of children a single adult can accompany for a general visit, but there are critical supervision and safety policies to consider. Under the park's current "Chaperone Policy," which is often enforced on weekends or during special events like Knott's Scary Farm, one adult (aged 21 or older) can be responsible for up to ten minors (aged 15 or younger). However, for practical safety, most ride restrictions require children under a certain height to be accompanied by a "supervising companion" (usually age 14+). Since most ride seats only accommodate two people, an adult with many small children would find it impossible to ride together. For a manageable experience, a ratio of one adult to three or four children is recommended, but for official park entry purposes during chaperone-enforced periods, the legal limit is typically ten children per one adult chaperone.
