Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

Excellent place, great rides, fun experience. Reasonably priced. Pretty easy to get to. Bad flood area, but recovers fast.

This is a wonderful Amusement Park. On of the best thing about this park other then it's historic rides, is the fact you don't need to pay to enter the park. Making it a great option for families where not everyone is going to ride the rides grandparents. This park is also pet friendly.

Really? Don't need comments for this one. See them stars? There u go

It is a very nice place to have fun all day with the family

Great amusement park for all ages. There are rides for the kids as well as rides for adults. Great place to have gatherings as there are many pavilions to reserve as well as a campground for the outdoors folks. Rides are pay by the ride and parking is free which makes it fun to go for just a couple of hours or all day. Overall fun place to go for everyone.

One of our favorite places. My kids love it. Great food. Pet friendly.

My son and I enjoyed this place very much very family-friendly and the rides were very sufficient. The only downfall was ticket pricing was a bit steep and trying to locate Funnel Cake and Candy Apples it seems that they were only at certain stations but other than that we had a blast

This is the best. Free parking. Free entry. Just pay for what you do. Today is BOGO day for unlimited rides. My daughter and her friend rode all day for the price of one. Relaxing park. Beautiful scenery.

Great place to make memories. Free admission and free parking. And you can just buy tickets for rides if you want. Basically, spend what you want. Food is also good and reasonably priced.

Love the place
My favorite

We always camp here and love it! You get in park for free and its a simple walk from campground! Love it here!! Fun family rides and friendly people!

Great atmosphere, great rides for both kids and adults alike. VERY family oriented! I recommend this place to any and everybody

A old fashion amusement park with shaded area's which is a plus when its hot out

If I could rate Knoebel's with an infinite amount of stars I would. It is the BEST amusement park I have ever been to. I go there twice every summer with my friends and family. We have the most amazing time and we NEVER want to leave.

Great fun in the middle of nowhere. Choice pricing is a solid feature

Great experience!!! So many things to do. Its for all ages. Great food!! Also, amazing service!!!

So much fun. I love going here with friends and family

Fantastic rides and amazing food! The best amusement park I have went to!

Wonderful place for my grandchildren
We all had an amazing day !!

A truly magical place where I spent my childhood and now take my children. The Phoenix is, to my knowledge and of my opinion, the best designed wooden roller coaster you may ever ride. Alternatively, Impulse, their new steel coaster, is the most uncomfortable, actually painful and bruise inducing, restraining system ever devised. It could, and should, be salvaged with an over the shoulder design.
Everything else at the park, save some of clientele, is near perfect in detail and execution, painstakingly restored and maintained to their original proven designs.
As far as the attractions go, they have some of the best or at least most unique and classic you'll find anywhere. Stick to the classics and you won't be disappointed. Try the carousel with rings, bumper cars, the 3 meter dive at the pool, the Flyers, the sky ride, the train, the Satellite (salt and pepper shakers ride), the Phoenix front seat, the miniature golf course, machine BB guns, and the haunted mansion. The Twister and Black Diamond are mediocre and can be skipped. Avoid Impulse and the newer carnival type rides.
Their food is pretty much all good and affordable and not to be missed as part of the whole experience.

There is a huge parking area and plenty of handicap spaces which I appreciate for my child with special needs. Parking and entering is free. You pay for tickets, food, gifts, etc. We live this place and spend many days there from the time they open for the season to close after Halloween

Great family oriented amusement park. You pay as you go so there is no need to kill yourself by getting there when they open and stay until closing time. The shows are good and the food is great. My grandsons lived the park and they were 2 and 8 years old. Can't wait to return and bring them back.

A childhood favorite that remains an amazing escape for families. Nestled among the mountains a few hours from Philadelphia, knoebels provides kids and grownups a place relax, have fun and eat in the shade during the hottest times of the year. Incredible thrill rides, rollercoasters and dark rides combine with a giant swimming areas and authentic food stands. A must see for anyone who wants to see an authentic amusement park.

Just wish they stayed open an hour or so later. Free to get in and lines are not long at all

Very nice amusement park to visit and price are low compared to others places

Knoebels Grove is pretty nice amusement park.had a good time there

Finally trekked out here from Philly. Wow, this place is so much fun. I brought my 4 year old and we both had a blast. You can tell how much love the Knoebels staff has for this place. I hope Knoebels continues to thrive. I will be back with the family every year.

Very family friendly. Great place and very affordable

Love it every time I go up the drive is definitely worth it

Always a great time a knoebles! The pulled pork and potato is the reason we come hungry! Kids enjoyed everything from games and rides to the food and excellent staff. We love knoebles

Fantastic place. Short lines and good food/price. Great for kids because theres no admission fee for anyone. Will be back!

Such a fun time with the kiddos, great place to be with the family, lots of fun rides and I love the train ride

This place is like Kennywood kept in a time machine from the late 80s featuring tons of loved rides that you can't even ride anymore at other more expensive parks.

Free admission, and is a beautiful park to just walk around. Park is clean and offers attractions for all ages.

I love this amusement part best one I ve been to yet

This is a place where you can go and only pay for what you want to do. You can start a family tradition here, young and old will enjoy themselves.

Tons of family friendly attentions and it's reasonably priced

Awesome place to camp we absolutely loved it we had so much fun

Always the best ! Free admission! Pay for the rides you want! Family friendly.

Tons of fun for any age. Lots to do and the Phoenix never gets old

I've been going here for the last 30 years, and every time I feel like I'm coming home. Your expectations are always met. You're never surprised by anything because it always stays the ssme: classic.

A great family park. Paid zero to park, zero to get into the park. I'm paid for the rides I wanted to go on while the kids got an all you can ride pass. Prices are reasonable and fair. Park not overly crowded and staff very friendly. the I see why so many people like this place.

Knoebels is a wonderful family place to spend your summer days. The parking is free. There are shuttles that run frequently to and from the park. Take a dip in the beautiful swimming pool. Plenty of food offerings. Rides for young and old and they are very affordable. So go and enjoy yourself!

The park is awesome. Tons of rides and a pretty decent rates. It's nice to camp here, but the campground can be a bit busy and not very private.

Great place, alot of rides closed but kids enjoyed it

Ive never been dissappointed. No charge to get in. Tickets only on weekends. Very family oriented!!

This is the worst place I've ever been to. It's a dump really crappy rides bad food and run down

Always fun. Friendly staff. Love the no pay to park and no admission fee. Just pay to ride, eat, and games. Great for us since I dont ride, just take grandkids for fun.

This is definitely my favorite place to go in the summer. Knoebels has the best all around food and goodies for all to enjoy. I have been coming to Knoebels for the past ten or so years and it has not once been mundane. With its amazing rides and park grounds, Knoebels is just the best place for a simple but very fun vacation, or just a nice trip too, with Knoebels being a free admission park and generally being not very costly, especially with handstamp deals for rides. And to me Knoebels just has the best atmosphere to it, being situated in a nice valley with mountains all around. It is just the best to walk around and enjoy the park even if you do not do much, but I would definitely suggest the food, whether it is just some french fries, great food at the various food stands, or a sit down at the Alamo restaurant. Personally I would also recommend getting the frozen ice tea there, that's my favorite! I just hope that everyone else who visits this outstanding gem of Elysburg enjoys it as much as I have, I know I will be coming back to Knoebels for many more years to come.

Great amusement park,and fantastic,with everything they do. Very friendly park

Great oark,however MASSIVE THUNDER STOM,PARK HAD TO SHUT DOWN.

Fun food and fantasy! I had a fantastic experience here. We were there for a family birthday party and the park was lovely as usual. We ate ice cream and funnel cakes and went on a ton of rides! The park was not too crowded and the weather was perfect

Hand stamp specials rock!!!!!! We have a HUGE family so it can get pretty expensive but when we go on specials it doesn't kick you in the wallet so hard.

Great place to camp. Amusement park is affordable and fun.

I grew up around that area and I've always loved it.I live 5 hours away now but we always venture back. Especially now that I have a child he love the rides.

Great mix of rides...sun and shade....and reasonable prices for food and rides, can pay as you go!

Awesome. I would gave more stars. Free parking. Free to get in.

The park is safe and easy to navigate. I've been coming here since I was four and my daud since he was a teen. We have fun and even with the current pandemic, it's safe.

There really isn't a better amusement park in the nation that gives you better bang for your buck.

Knoebels is great for families because there is no fee to enter. If someone in your family does not ride roller coasters they don't have to pay, but can still enjoy the food they have. The rides are very fun and they have a lot of variety.

Been going here since I was a little girl and I love it!!! Can't wait for my kids to be old enough to experience it better.

What could be better than an amusement park that's mere steps away from a campground? Knoebels is like stepping back in time to simpler days when you didn't have to worry about crazy long lines for rides or hefty prices for admission. Completely accessible for kids and adults alike. Tons of local history in this place with a mix of modern fun. If you don't ride the trackless rollercoaster, you're missing out on an experience of a lifetime. The food options aren't exactly healthy, but you're on vacation so live a little and get some potato cakes. And the fudge from the original Knobel family cottage is a must have.

A family oriented amusement park
With great food, great rides and a awesome camping grounds.
I give this 3 thumbs up if I had a third.
Enjoy and be young again.

I have been coming here for 20 year's!! Best place around!!

Cleanest amusement park we have ever been too. Nice selection of rides for all ages. Loved the flea market out front and it was nice that you could bring your own coolers, and food into the park. Dog friendly. Next to a camp ground which we would consider camping at sometime in the future.

Love it here, every year my kids get to pick where they want to go for vaca, and every year the choose Knoebels! Great rides, food, entertainment, and atmosphere!!!

Great family amusement park. The Phoenix is AWESOME!

Awesome place for families. We have our company picnic every year here...we love coming here especially the granddaughters

Love Knoebels such a family feel to a amusement park. Good food fun rides my grandchildren had a wonderful day. Need a better flow for traffic exiting the parking area is the only negative comment on this post.

There was a lot of people. Mask were worn. We had a good time. Short lines.

Been going here since I've been a kid , always a fun time!!!!

Closing out the summer at a wonderful family destination that everyone should go to. The atmosphere is terrific and I recommend five stars for this place. It's an excellent destination for the entire family to enjoy.

Amazing place to spend with the family and a great place for teenagers to work and interact with people.

Normal pricing. Above normal fun, especially for the kids.

Beautiful park. No admission. Buy tickets for rides. Food is good but a little high priced.

Pretty awesome! My boyfriend and I got a wristband letting us on all the rides and rollercoasters definitely worth the money. More of a family amusement park not quite one to go to for thrill roller coasters and rides. But i had a good time!

Very reasonable prices, not crazy long lines, food prices are affordable. Overall very family friendly. It was worth the 2 hour drive. My kids had a blast.
