Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

Love this park!!! Its awsome for first time riders and has the best foods and wooden rollercoasters.

Free parking and entrance to get in. Food is great and rides are awesome.

My three year old loved every minute of it! Going back before the end of the season hopefully! 10 hours of fun!

Lost our business and I'm sure many others will not go there.

It's been 15 years since we were here, and I still just LOVE this little gem!

We still love this park and try to visit annually. They're working extra hard this year with hand cleanser dispensers, cleaning rides, limited attendance and social distancing. You must wear a mask through most of the park. Food stands have barriers installed and EVERY worker was wearing gloves and a mask. Well done for allowing us to enjoy our favorite park and doing their part to control the spread of Covid-19

Old time park with some of the old and lots of new additions. Free admission pay per ride with tickets or buy a wrist band. I ja e been coming here for over 40 years. It still has that nostalgic feel and my kids love it. Lots of shade as the park is hidden in a valley amongst the trees. Great soft ice cream in Raspberryamd teaberry. There is also a pool here for an additional charge. Check it out"

Best family friendly place to visit. It's free to park and free to get in. Makes it that much easier to just go for some food and a few games or stay all day and ride rides. Something for everyone.
They have a lot of great kids rides and games. Even some educational pieces and some eagles to see. Two train rides (small trains) take you around the park or around the woods to see nature. Food courts expanded the selection to Mexican American Chinese and Italian foods. Nothing fancy but it's some decent food for being in a amusement park.

Family oriented something for everyone and shady spots!

The only place I can go to where you don't have to pay to get in or Park. A little too far away but once a year is great.

Always a great time.. Something for everyone no matter your age.. Best pizza and baked potatoes..

When I get home to visit I always make trips to Knoebel's. So many fun rides and great fun, music is awesome.

The crystal Pool at Knoebels is very relaxing and fun all at once! You can take it easy in the shallows or swim around in the deeper side or go for a nice dive off their 1meter, 2meter, or Hi-dive (5meter?) boards. Theres plenty of room to sunbath and a fun activity area and climbing net for the kids. They even have several water slides and speed slides for those seeking a bit more excitement. And if you get hungry they have an on-site snackbar to chase those pangs away!

Always great. Excellent collection of well maintained rides, great food and affordable prices. Free parking and free admission are very nice. In hundreds if visits, I have never had a bad experience. Highly recommended!

Awesome park free admission and pay as you go options

Been going for years and have always enjoyed it. Free entry, just pay for the rides you want to go on or get an all-inclusive pass if you wish. Awesome place for kids, if you have little ones you won't be sorry with a visit here.

I love this park! It's an old fashioned amusement park. Free parking, free to get in. Can buy tickets to ride, food is good, nice pavilions and they also have a campground.

Our family loves it here. We leave telling stories of our many adventures and anticipating the return the following summer!

This is an awesome and affordable vacation spot for all ages! The grounds are kept clean and the rides are extremely well maintained!

Great atmosphere. Really cost efficient. Variety of food for really good prices. A ton of kids rides. A few decent coasters. Overall great park.

Amazing I would like to go every year in thr summer multiple times!!!

We've been going to Knoebels for years and are never disappointed. The park is clean, family friendly, and most of the ride lines are not long. They have terrific food, or you can enjoy a picnic. They've earned numerous amusement Golden Ticket Awards too. The Phoenix is rated #2 wooden coaster and you WILL get air time!!

Once again Knoebels didn't let us down. Took my nieces for their birthdays. We helped open and close the park. :-) <3

I was here for the first time this past summer and I had a blast with my son. It was even raining on and off and we still had a wonderful time!!

Kids love it here. One of the best amusement parks I have ever visited.

Excellent family fun....very good deal with a smaller child because you only pay for what the rides you want...free entry

We love coming here with family. This year though the food was a little disappointing. The pizza was dry, the potato pancakes weren't done. Fish and chips were so,so. Not giving up though. Going again and trying something different.
Kettle corn always great.

I love it here. This is good clean family fun. The rides are affordable and fun. Picnic tables are pavilions are free. The food is amazing and its pet friendly. Plus that have all sorts of events to celebrate certain groups and holidays throughout the summer and early fall. And a great pool. I dont think there is a place in the world that feels more like home and childhood to me than knobles grove.

Love the family geared amusement park. There's something for everyone to do, whether it's riding the rides or just simply relaxing in the shade. As a little girl, my family visited every year. My grandparents came with us every year, because there was lots of places for them to sit in the shade. They loved coming and just enjoying the day with family. I miss them so much,, but have very fond memories of this.

Grew up right by there. Loved it then. Love it still. Now my grand kids will love it too.

Best park I've ever been to. The park isn't too far from major cities, definitely within driving distance from Harrisburg/ Philly/ New York/ Baltimore/ Pittsburgh/ Buffalo. Free parking and free admission. Pay per ride (no more than $4 per ride, but usually around $2.50). The food selections are wonderful, varied and super affordable. The park is set in a gorgeous area, and includes camping space adjacent to the park with tons of facilities. Thrill seekers have several rides to try out, lots of rides for families and kids too, abundant picnic areas, and a huge pool area. Lots of vintage rides for antique amusement attraction enthusiasts, a wonderful ski lift that takes you on a 20 minute up the neighboring hillside and back down with a breathtaking view of the park and the valley. You can't have a bad day here unless it storms, and even then there's plenty to do. The owners have kept the same attractions and food choices for decades, super nostalgic feeling coming through. Cannot upsell this place enough, please check it out!

Knoebels is our favorite summertime destination! The kids always have so much fun, and I love the food!

Everything is at a reasonable cost and staff are really friendly. I camped here and camping was great as well! Rides are fun and rarely break down. Knoebels is great for people of all ages!

One of my favorite places to take my son. Which phrase mission we only have to pay for the rides for him which is nice so it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to watch him enjoy all of the great rides.

It is fun and there's lots of rides but it can be very crowded and people don't know how to watch there kids.

Between the campground and the rustic charm of the amusement park I'm shocked I hadn't heard about this place before my leisurely drive home from Hersheypark! The haunted house and mine cart dark rides were phenomenal! I'm definitely planning to make a vacation stop here in the future!

Great amusement park. Can't beat free parking and free admission, and even the food is reasonably priced and tasty.

Going to Knoebels has been a tradition in my extended family for over a decade, and as a 24 year-old, I still look forward to our annual Labor Day visit; it's one of my most favorite and anticipated weekends of each year.

The free parking and admission is great, especially for those who are money-conscious. If you have relatives who can't go on rides, but still want to spend time with the family, this is the perfect place to go. A large chunk of the park is wooded, which allows for a plenty of shade and a great atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the old fashioned style of a lot of the buildings and other structures. Along with being wooded, it's also less commercialized than other parks, which makes it feel more relaxing and genuine instead of being a quick cash grab.

Honestly, I can't praise this park enough; it's truly one of my favorite places to visit and haven't had a bad experience yet. If you're looking for the hottest new rides, look elsewhere, but the selection is still great. If you're in the area, what's there to lose in trying out a park with free parking and admission?

I love the fact that unlike other Amusement Parts they don't nickel and dime the hell out of you. You don't have to pay to get in. You can just buy tickets for the kids to ride rides. you can bring your own food. It was a very nice park well kept. And I love the fact you can rent houses in the middle of the park.

best place to people watch. The employees are always welcoming. Try the last week in August. the place is always empty.

No other amusement park like this one. Incredible collection of classic rides saved from old parks that have gone out of business. Also some new modern rides in the mix like the new steel looping coaster. Very good operations all around and no price gouging!

Love this place! Even on a super warm day it's nice and shady for the kids rides!

Cute and quaint with rides for all ages. Dog friendly! Staff is courteous and helpful

My sister got Us camping there each year. What a great time. Walk around go on the rides that you want.

Very nice place my family had a great time at our reunion there the park was a little crazy some of family tried to tell the parking attendant they were with a event at a shelter and some were rude but other then that it was very nice we gave our family 8$ worth of tickets and some didn't have to buy more they had enough for what they wanted to do

Had a blast with the family, staff are very relaxed (which can be frustrating when you have hungry kids)

Hands down the best family amusement park in the country. We return year after year. The rides are fun for adults and kids alike. Plus visiting will not break the bank!

Great family amusement park free admission and free parking. Reasonable price food. Just pay for rides you want to go on. Clean and nicely kept with great rides

Mostly it was fun but.all the rides were shut down because school is starting soon but it was fun my favorite is the arcade place thing!

Free to get in great food very affordable great rides and coasters what s there not to love?

Every years I come to this park twice and the year I love this place!!

We Love Knoebels !! We come camping every year. We have been coming up to Know else for over 33 years. My 2 daughter's we're coming up here since they r a few days old and they r now 25 & 22 years old. We come here for our annual camping trip same dates every year. I think this is is the way all amusement parks should be. We hope u never change the way ur park is. Knoebels is #1!!

Knoebels is hands down the best amusement park in the area. It has a fair amount of thrilling rides and kiddie rides all at the most affordable prices. It's wonderful for any family who has a person (or people) who dont or cant ride rides but still want to enjoy the day with their family. We have found every time that to pay as you go is the best for our money. Our family of 6 were able to ride every single ride we wanted for less than $100. You are allowed to bring food but really there's no need because their food drinks and games are all reasonable as well. I hate going anywhere else.

Great place to take the family! Reasonably priced and fun fun fun!

No parking or entry fees, food rides and games fairly priced. Never had a bad time. Way better than bloom fair

Best family park EVER! Been taking my kids since infants . Now they go and camp . Pet friendly too. No entrance fee . Plus a awesome pool.

A great place to take the family. Free admission for those that do not enjoy rides.

Knoebel's is the best place to take your family! Whether you've got little kids, thrill seekers, foodies, history fans, music fans, or a mix, there's something for everyone at Knoebel's! The best part: admission, parking, and entertainment are always FREE, so if you've got some in your crew who don't want to ride any rides, you don't need to spend any money on them at all!!!

There's four great roller coasters for the thrill seekers. Phoenix has great air time and won "best wooden roller coaster" in the Golden Ticket Awards in 2018! Twister will rattle your brains, but is totally worth it! Flying Turns is a unique coaster without a track (kinda like a bobsled track). Impulse is their newest coaster and had the longest line, so I've only been on it one time, but it was a fun steel coaster.

There's an entire section of kiddie rides that are awesome! When I was little, my favourite was the hand-cranked trains, the cars, and the boats! But there's so many more!

Every day, there's live entertainment in the bandshell! Tribute bands mostly, but it's a nice break in your day to sit down and take in the tunes.

For the history fans, there's also a mining museum (the park is in Pennsylvania after all!) that's worth checking out! Each ride also has info on its unique history. Some rides were bought from other amusement parks, while others are Knoebel's originals.

Always an amazing getaway. Great food, rides, and people! Can't wait to go again!

So sad to report that Knoebel s is NOT doin right by its patrons regarding the pandemic. Yeah there s a guard at entrances reminding people to wear a mask ,vendors have plexiglass partitions with signs "no mask no service" and i did see a few ride operators wiping seats and safety bars between rides but that s about where the precautionary steps stop. Amazingly the hand sanitizers needed instructions on how to use!! Instead of distributing cleanser at bottom of dispenser like every other one you ve seen, users must put their hands soo close to the actual disenser almost at the top under a small hood in order to activate the sanitizer. I found myself having to actually touch the unit in order for it to work. What a horrible choice made by the park !!! There was NO ONE reminding patrons to wear masks thoughout the park and many patrons were not wearing them at all young and elderly alike. Also, many many rides werent even running ( that s a big word of caution to those buying wristbands) there was NO self distancing at the crystal pool and it was packed All you friends being smart about Covid please keep your kids and elderly away. I did a lap around the park and feeling very uneasy about what i saw, left. Knoebels management, i know you try to preserve the good old days of naive innocence, but in this case you didnt do your jobs .shame on you.

Thee best amusement park old fashioned rides and new ones great food don't miss perogies and pickles on a stick the roasted corn is meh black diamond is not a thrill ride but in the dark so kids may be unnerved all in all a snooze of a ride Phoenix coaster is GREAT

I have been going here since I was a kid. Great park. Clean, affordable but the crowds are getting large. I mean great for Knoebels but i used to like how calm the park was and that the lines weren't long. Weekdays are better for avoiding the longer lines and crowds.

Great family park. No admission or parking fees. Reasonably priced rides and food.

Beautiful place to take your family for a day of fun and festivities. Customer service is 100% satisfactory.

I've been coming here most of my life, and after to going to so many different amusement parks I still feel this is the best!

A great value for large families. We have young children that wouldn't use the full value of a ticket to Hershey Park. At Knoebels, we can get together with my parents and take our kids out and we only pay for the rides we go on. There us a great section of kiddie rides and also plenty of thrill rides. This place has the BEST haunted house ride that I've ever ridden.

I've always enjoyed this park. Pay one price plan for those who ride a lot. Tickets for those who don't. Food food at a fair price Alamo cost the same as if you went to your local restaurant. If your camping and don't want to fix breakfast. They have that too in the park even before the place is ready to operate for the day. I've always gone on a tight budget you can bring your own food and use their picnic tables and unreserved pavilions free.

Very clean well maintained. Enjoyable experience and reasonably priced. Loved it.

Handstamp is pricy and there food is expensive. They need more water rides

Our family and I go every summer and fall. A wonderful place for all ages!!

First time visit...scenic drive, easy to find, nice park setting in the woods. Lots of rides for younger children, perfect for older folks like us who don't ride many rides (pay per ride). Lots of pavilions for picnics. Dog friendly.

Been coming here since I was a kid and now will start bringing my own kids. Great family friendly amusement park with things to do for all ages!
