What is the bag policy at Scary Farm?

Knott's Scary Farm Bag Policy: Clear plastic bags smaller than 12? x 12? x 6? as well as non-clear wristlets or clutches no larger than 5?x 8?x 2? are allowed at Knott's Scary Farm. All bags are subject to search prior to entry.



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.
