For the 2025–2026 Knott's Scary Farm season, the park enforces a highly restrictive bag policy designed to maximize safety and speed up security screenings. Only clear plastic bags smaller than 12” x 12” x 6” are permitted inside the event. Additionally, small non-clear clutches or wristlets are allowed, provided they do not exceed 5” x 8” x 2”. Large backpacks, purses, and camera bags are strictly prohibited and will be turned away at the gate; there is no storage provided for prohibited items outside the park. This "clear bag only" rule is part of a broader security initiative that includes a Chaperone Policy, requiring all guests ages 15 or younger to be accompanied by a guardian who is at least 21 years old. To ensure a "scream-filled" night without a security headache, it is best to travel as light as possible and use a transparent bag for your phone, portable charger, and essentials.
