Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain have slashed 2027 season pass prices, with Knott's dropping rates by 50 percent. The discounted passes now cost less than a single-day ticket to regional rivals like Disneyland and Universal Studios.

In a dramatic shift for the local tourism and entertainment landscape, Knott’s Berry Farm has announced a 50 percent reduction in its season pass prices for the 2027 season. The massive price cut marks a major strategy shift for the iconic Buena Park theme park as regional competition for visitor dollars continues to heat up across Southern California.

The pricing adjustments are part of a broader trend among regional amusement parks, with Six Flags Magic Mountain also lowering its season pass rates for 2027. Following the 50 percent slash, a full-year pass to Knott’s Berry Farm now costs less than a single-day admission ticket to major Southern California competitors, including nearby Disneyland and Universal Studios.

For Buena Park residents and frequent theme park visitors, the move makes year-round access to the park significantly more affordable. As major attractions throughout the region continue to adjust their pricing structures, Knott's aggressive discount positions the local park as an appealing option for families seeking budget-friendly entertainment options for the 2027 season.
