Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

No cover charge amusement park! Buy tickets as you go. And they don't expire so you can use them again next year if you don't finish the book. A mom and dad can take a kid for a full day of fun and only pay a third of what you would pay at Hershey park (if adults arn't getting on rides) We went on a rainy day, and lines were not bad at all. Food was ok, not cheap but better priced than a normal amusement park. There was an arcade, we didn't check out, and a place where you can "pan for gold"

We bought the biggest bag of dirt (about 30$ but there are smaller cheaper ones) kid spent about 15 min sifting the dirt through a strainer, with the help of a kindly old prospector (who was manning the water way outside their museum deducated to coal and mining) 30$ well spent! 11 year olds, even ones adicited to tech and Netflix, like getting there hands dirty to sift dirt through running water. And wow did we get some cool stuff out of the prepackaged bag of dirt. Chunks of purple crystal, fossilized clams, tube worms, a hand full of birthstones, and a really amazing obsidian arrowhead were all in the bag.

Family amusement park with great, old fashioned atmosphere - two classic wooden roller coasters, a top rated haunted house, a carousel where you can still catch the brass ring..the charm is endless and the food is fantastic!
These are only a few reasons why Knoebels us considered one of the world's best!

Awesome and nostalgic! We had a beautiful time at knoebels!

Great for the whole family and you can't beat the prices!

This is an amazing place to take the family or friends to have fun. Also it's free to get in!!!

Old-time Park lot of history of the different rides and such really enjoyed that part of it. They had a lot of cool new rides as well granddaughter love them. Parking's free! You don't have to get a pass for everything even though you can for $49. Or you can pay as you go and just pay for the rides that you want to go on I'm not much of a ride person it was much better for me that way. People in park or helpful and friendly

This is the best amusement park in my opinion. The laid back atmosphere and fantastic rides are what makes me love this place so much.

Greatest little hidden gem ever you don't have to pay for parking you don't have to pay anything to get in great food and just all around great family fun

I LOVE everything about this place. I love the parking that isn't that far from the park. I love that it's in the middle of the woods. I love that you pay per ride that way anyone can come but the only ones to ride are the ones paying for the rides. I love the options of food and how you don't feel completely gouged when you buy it. Everything is reasonable, and I love it. I hope NOTHING changes!!

Very nice place to visit. It was ashame it had to rain this after.

Free admission, free parking, pet friendly, picnic areas. This is by far our family's favorite amusement park.

Cant beat free parking and free admission!! My child had fun for an entire day for just $20. Be sure to get coupons from the Weis store before you go!! Food is kind of pricey in my opinion but you can bring your own if you want.

Knoebels is great. You can literally find things for the whole family to enjoy. Things to remember: the "big" rides can easily run 2-4 tickets, some rides are one amount for the driver, a different amount for the passenger, so while admission is free, if you are a lover of rides, expect $20 in tickets to not last long. Shaded areas can quickly be hard to find, so be careful taking anyone that can't be in the sun too long.

Wonderful family friendly atmosphere. Great rides and great food. Love camping there, too with easy access to the amusement park. Very affordable!!! It is my happy place!

Great place and reasonable prices. Especially for those going with kids and not wanting to ride. You can walk around without paying an entry fee.

It is fun do as a family spending time together Outdoors and I depart

Today was opening weekend. Normally a 12-6 schedule, the staff gave park goers an extra hour to enjoy the park because of an amazing turn out. Always a good time.

Affordable High Quality Family Fun! The grounds of the park is Even, it makes walking around manageable, also the entire park was VERY CLEAN!

Family friendly, great food, great rides all around great time for all ages.

I go camping here every year and I absolutely love it. Everything about this place is family friendly. Although, I called customer service today for some questions I had about employer discounts and the 2 ladies I spoke to were very rude. They seemed as if they shouldn't interact with customers at all if they dont have the time to answer their questions. I've never had a problem with anyone who works at knoebels, but the ladies in customer service need to take a breather.

Very nice park. Our boys were 16 and 18 and they enjoyed it

Enjoyed by all ages. No long lines and the food is great.

Best amusement park ever! We had an awesome time, great environment for the family, short lines, good food

Best family park around very clean was a yearly summer day trip with kids when younger,now we take the grandkids they love it they look forward to go every summer. The only park around that I know uses tickets and they don't expire that's a A+ for me.

Best place around for camping and amusements, also the food is the best too!

One of the best family amusement parks! No entry or parking fees. Great friendly staff and some one of a kind rides.

Always enjoy this park. The staff is always very helpful. Military rides for free 20 dollars worth

Pros: fun atmosphere, lots of stuff for kids, a decent amount of fun roller coasters, decent mini golf, free admission, wrist bands on week days, the workers running game booths don't shout out at you to play and annoy you, Active Duty and veterans gets a free $40 book of tickets every year, thank you!

Cons: $2.50 for a bottle of water but $2 for a soda? You surely don't care about promoting health and keeping everyone hydrated. Fix that knoebels. The guy who parked us at 12:00 aug 5th 2019 in the grass, parked everyone so tight it boxed a huge amount of people in, fortunately i noticed it and backed up more after he parked us.

Besides the few cons, which may not happen during your visit, i highly recommend this place!!

This park is free entry and parking you only pay for the rides you want to ride and it's great for family's of all size and age

No better way to spend your day than at this quaint amusement park. Free to enter for all and only pay for what you want. Plus they have a great military discount!!

Free parking. Free entree. So many rides for all ages, water park, many different food venues, live shows.

Amazing scenery. A great affordable and a fun little getaway from the city.

This place is in the middle of NOWHERE!!! That being said, we absolutely loved it! The staff went above and beyond for my son, who is autistic/non verbal. The rides brought back memories from my childhood and were in good condition. The snacks at this place were awesome, and the prices were definitely on the lower side. This place is nowhere near as sleek and fancy as other theme parks. It's kind of like a campground with an amusement park from the 70's plopped in the middle of it. I brought my children ages 4 and 7 and they had a blast. We used the pool, and went on a bunch of rides. You can either pay for each ride as you wish (via tickets) or you can buy a wristband to access everything and just let it rip. I highly recommend Knoebels, because it takes you back to a time when things were just a little simpler, and less snazzy. If you can get down with that, than Knoebels is for you.

Awesome fun with the family. The option to buy a wrist band for the kids and not have to pay for the adults who were not riding was a good idea.

Dollar for dollar spent this park is the best experience you can get. I still go to Cedar Point and Kings Island a few times a year. However my family and I always have the best time at Knoebels!!

Best amusement I have ever been to . Family oriented . I always enjoy going here every year . Love

My absolute favorite place to fo every year in the NEPA region for an amusement park.

Grew up coming here, worked here as a teenager too...awesome place to spend the day relaxing. You can bring your own food in, you truly don't need to spend a dime if you really don't want to (but who really doesn't?!). PLENTY of food options available. For people that don't live in the area, it's well worth the trip! I'd suggest coming during the week rather than the weekend, gets a little crazy with the crowds! Dog friendly if that is a concern, but they are not allowed in the covered food areas that I had seen. Definitely check out the mining museum for some local history. All around great place!

Nice old park. Would rather walk around on paved walkways instead of crushed rocks which tend to be uneven and dusty but we had no issues. The staff was good and helpful. Great assortment of rides for young and old and looks like it could be a great place to stay in the campground and cabin area. Was a great trip

Great fun food and fantasy at Knowles amusement resort

There isn't a better park than this for the money and service.

Amazing food, great value, something for everyone.

Free parking, free admission

Had a great time. Lots of good food, nice people and fun.

Great place to go with the family for the day or camp for the night. You only pay for the rides or get a pass for the day, free parking and no admission to get in. Love taking the family.

Not a Six Flags, but an excellent match for families with pre-teens. This was a well managed "pay as you go" amusement park. The parking and admission were free. You pay for the rides with ride tickets. The rides and concessions were reasonably priced. My only two cons for the park were its popularity and location. On summer weekends this pace can be a real zoo with long lines. The park is also located off the main drag with miles of back roads, which can be an exhausting start just to get there. Weekdays offer an unlimited-ride-package alternative, but a piece of advice here-- scope the place out before you buy. If it is really crowded, it may be a long and painstaking day to get your money's worth.

Great family fun for the entire family. You can bring your dog too! Our Jack Russell Terrier loves Knoebels.

My favorite amusement park. Love riding the wooden rollercoaster.

As much bang as you can possibly get got your buck at an amusement park. Super family friendly. Food is very reasonably priced. Awesome.

Free admission, great food, great rides, family atmosphere! Great for all ages!

Free parking, free park admissions, you don't have to do anything except walk around if you want.

Great place!! What other amusement park can you go to with free admission and parking. If you want to go on rides buy tickets or hand stamp. Love Knoebels!!!

Since we haven't been there in two years we were quick to realize that this is no longer Pennsylvania's best kept secret treasure. It is still a great place to take your family.

This is a great family amusement park with free admission.

This amusement park has something for every one, and the admission is free

Whirzles at the Fudge shop are the best. Best amusement park ever. Free admission, free parking, and free entertainment. Great food and rides!

Great fun, plenty of shade, large picnic area for family. Affordable. Just a few of the things I love about Knoebels.

Love Love Love Knoebels!! Family trip every summer! Food is great and cheap! You have to try the blueberry and raspberry soft ice cream! So good! Such a great family place. Knoebels never disappoints!

Very friendly lots of fun go at least 1 a year for years now

Come down here on Memorial Day every year and absolutely love it. Great family atmosphere and a wide array of rides, food, and other entertainment options. Would highly recommend

One of the best kept secrets of PA...SIMPLY INCREDIBLE..

Great place for the kids and adults. Lots of shade. Friendly staff.

Awesome family place, so safe and definitely a wonderful PA gem!!

What's not to love. Free parking , no entrance fee, only pay for rides and food, free entertainment

I'm not a big amusement park guy but this place is nice. Has a lot of different rides and a good variety of food to eat. The staff was very friendly and polite. Also had plenty of handicapped parking. Would definitely go back again

Been going there since i was a kid. Always a fun time
