A viral video offering a step-by-step tutorial on how to sneak into a popular California theme park has caught the attention of authorities.
On May 20, two teenagers filmed themselves climbing a wall at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Vista and walking into the park. The video was uploaded to the video-sharing platform TikTok and has since racked up more than 1 million views.
In a statement, a representative said the theme park was aware of the incident and was actively working with police to bring the trespassers to justice.
“Safety is always our top priority,” the statement read in part.
‘This behavior will not be tolerated, and anyone found trespassing on Knott property will be subject to arrest and may be permanently banned from the park.
Knott’s Berry Farm has issued a statement after two teenagers filmed themselves sneaking into the park on May 20.
The video was posted on a TikTok account with the handle @shawty_grandmaa. It shows two teenagers climbing a wall, walking through the park and going on attractions.
“We have contacted the Buena Park Police Department and provided images of these two individuals, as well as our security teams, and will continue to review measures to protect the park and work with local authorities in these situations.”
Knott’s Berry Farm is the oldest theme park in the United States, spanning 57 acres and attracting more than 5 million visitors each year.
The intruders managed to avoid paying the daily entrance fee, which starts at about $60.
To add insult to injury, this wasn’t their first stunt, and they have been sharing their antics online with over 19,000 followers on social media.
A look at their tiktok account shows a history of alleged invasion dating back to at least the summer of 2023.
In February, they caught the attention of authorities when they broke into the Intuit Dome, the Clippers’ new stadium in Inglewood, which is still under construction.
The resulting video showed them climbing ladders, shooting hoops and spraying a fire extinguisher on the court.
The incident was just the teens’ latest stunt, as the pair filmed themselves invading stadiums and music festivals across the state. A look at his TikTok account shows a history of invasion dating back to at least the summer of 2023.

At the time, Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts said authorities believed they knew the teens’ identities and planned to contact their parents.
Burglary is generally prosecuted as a misdemeanor in California, and a conviction carries a sentence of up to six months behind bars.
But this has not deterred teenagers. Since February, they have sneaked onto rooftops and jumped a fence to get into Rolling Loud, a music festival where tickets cost about $300.
Before attracting the attention of authorities and the media, they also filmed themselves invading Dodger and SoFi stadiums and another music festival called Hard Summer.
It is unclear if they have faced charges for their past stunts or if any have been levied on them in connection with the latest incident.
