Knott’s Berry Farm released a statement that read:
“The safety of Knott’s Berry Farm’s guests and associates is always our top priority. On Saturday evening, the decision was made to close the park 3 hours early due to unruly behavior and altercations involving a number of teenagers. This behavior did not align with our park’s values, and was not the experience we want any guest to have while visiting Knott’s Berry Farm.”
The theme park, which regularly shuts at 11 p.m., announced its early closure on Twitter.
The park reopened on Sunday morning as planned.
