Knott's Berry Farm Boarding Pass (Guest Services): how it works

Knott's Berry Farm Boarding Pass (Guest Services) is Knott's Berry Farm's in-park return-time accessibility program. Like Cedar Fair's other parks, it requires no advance registration and no documentation — everything is handled at the park on the day of your visit. Official program page →

No proof of disability is required.
You will receive a return-time pass that covers the guest and companions in your party.
At each attraction, visit the accessibility entrance to receive and use your return window.

Bring your own wheelchair or ECV, or rent at the Stroller Shop in Ghost Town (first come, some reservable online); several rides require transferring.

Boarding Pass program; visit Guest Services for a pass that schedules return ride times for the guest plus up to 3 companions. Rider Swap also available.

Practical tips for any visit

Arrive early. Guest Services and accessibility offices are busiest mid-morning and on high-crowd days. Visiting first thing means less time in line before you even hit the rides.
Keep your phone charged. Most return-time systems use either a physical pass or an app; a dead battery mid-day is a real problem. A portable charger is worth the bag space.
Tell ride hosts what you need. Beyond the return-time program, individual accommodations — a stationary boarding moment, extra time to buckle, which row fits a wheelchair — come from asking the host at the ride. They handle this every day.
Check the map for all accessibility markers. Companion restrooms, first-aid locations, quiet areas, and relief areas are all on the printed park map. Grab one at the gate or find it in the app before you go in.

Plan a calmer day

Lower crowds mean shorter waits at Guest Services and smaller queues even with a return-time pass. Parks Radar rates each day at Knott's Berry Farm against the park's own normal. See the Knott's Berry Farm crowd calendar →
