Knott's Berry Farm reopens to season-passholders

BUENA PARK, Calif. - Knott's Berry Farm reopened for season-passholders on Thursday ahead of its public reopening May 21.

The Buena Park theme park, which has been closed for more than a year through the pandemic except for special outdoor events, will be honoring Knott’s 100th Anniversary Celebration.

Guests will be able to experience the brand-new "Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair," a 4-D interactive dark ride that pays tribute to the classic attraction from 35 years ago.

The "Knott's Summer Nights" attraction will return with live music and food and drink specials. Knott's is also planning a "nightly ceremony" focused around a redesigned, illuminated K-tower at the park, which will also feature photos and other decor paying tribute to its history.

The anniversary celebration runs through September 6, 2021.

On Wednesday, Knott's officials announced a reopening of its Soak City Waterpark on May 29, with passholders getting a preview on May 22-23.

In accordance with current state guidelines, capacity will be limited and available to California residents only with reservations required for both single-day visits and season passholders. Ticket sales and reservations will be available starting April 26.
