It was inevitable that the free admission to Christmas village would be eliminated. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford tickets and Christmas fair was a nice way to get a quick visit to Knott’s without having to pay for tickets.

I called Knott’s. They are not doing any free days this year.

Hello Trina
There is a boatload of websites filled with advertising posting “information” on Knott’s Berry Farm and the Christmas village. Google search results are cluttered with AI-generated posts, so I understand that you can not find what days the Christmas Crafts Village entry is free. I suggest contacting Knott’s Berry Farm for the correct information.

Hello Naomi

Our office is only two miles from Knott’s. Currently, the rain has eased up. But I am sure the roads are a mess.

Current parking fees for Knotts are —

The MarketPlace parking lot offers complimentary parking for up to 1 hour. A flat fee will be charged for any time thereafter. Receive 2 additional hours of complimentary parking with proof of purchase from our shops and restaurants (for a maximum of 3 hours free).

Looks like marketplace parking is $25.00 and standard parking $18.00 for the day. Not sure why the marketplace parking is more. Perhaps because it is closer to the park entrance.

I’v called several extensions, Hotel, etc. got hung up on etc!!!!! Can’t get any real live voice. I did find out on website that the free parking is 4 hours now NOT 3 hrs !!!! That’s good cause in the past it was hard to get back in 3 hours. Now with the rain,, ducking in & out would take even longer.

Any purchase from the Knott’s stores, even candy

Does it matter WHAT you purchase while there to get free parking? Or you just need a receipt showing proof of purchase? I like getting candy from the general store…it’s like a tradition! 🙂
