Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

Always a great time!! So much better than Hershey park!

Very nice amusement park kids had fun going on all the rides.

I really enjoy the atmosphere at Knoebels. It's a lot more low key and a less expensive option than the other amusement parks in the area. No admittance fee, if you are not riding. No parking fees. Plenty of shade available. Most family friendly park, in my humble opinion!

Love this family owned park. The new restrooms at the entrance are nice.

The new Black Diamond ride is just fantastic and needs a little more polish like the old haunted house. Pay for your passes online and get handstamped early at the ticket booths. Loved every minute with the family.

This place is amazing!!! You can camp! You can do water park or roller coasters and bring your dogs!!! Staff are ALWAYS helpful and friendly!!! Prices are SO much better than any other park!! My family loves this place!!!!

You can't go wrong here. A very nice family park with exceptionally good rides especially the Phoenix roller coaster. The food is good and cheap and the parking is easy.

Amazing place no wonder one of top 10 family parks in america

Love this place! I am so impressed that it is still free and rides are paid with tickets or all day passes. It is such a family friendly place where people of all ages can come and enjoy without feeling the need for everyone to pay a huge fee to enter. Our family makes this a yearly tradition.

I have been her over 100 times in my life and I still ger lost. People still don't smoke where there supposed to because it isnt unforced!

Had a blast. Was there for my husbands work picnic fun day. Knoebels staff is friendly.

There is no way to get tired of going to Knoebels year after year because there's always something different going on here. They have a Halloween event, mascots that take pictures with kids, and so much more.

Free parking, free admission! Great swimming pool!! You can take your own food to the pool AND bring your own pool toys! Evening discounts and bargain nights for affordable rides, but read the fine print. Truly fun for the whole family!! Lots if rides for littles. My 6 year old can do lots by herself, which mean I don't have to pay to ride because I can just watch!

Great place, lots of fun- can buy tickets for just the rides you wanna go on/ also have all day passes.

I've been going there for over 35 years and it gets better every year. Rides are awesome, food is great, and the shows are amazing. There's something for everyone, young or old alike. Camp grounds are beautiful, clean and quiet. Also every staff member is wonderful.

Most beautiful and historic little amusement park! It's a hometown paradise!

A fun filled family outing that is perfect for the whole family. I go many times a year and am always pleased with my day. Between the camping, the rides, the food and the many things for kids and big kids to do. I will be going for many years to come.

I absolutely love this place. We always have a blast, doesn't matter how often we do go.

Very family oriented and cheap compared to other amusement parks.

I wish I took pictures. This place is awesome! The park has free admission, and free parking. We went in the park last night to see what was there, because we have never been there before. We were amazed by how much stuff there was! I'd recommend getting the all day pass online. Lines are short, however the line to get the all day pass is long (at least in the AM). Get the all day pass online, because if you don't, there is a long line to get it. The rides are nice, and the food is really good. Thursday wing night at The Oasis is the best! You need a separate pool pass, but it's worth it. After 5PM it's cheaper. One of the bad things about the pool is you need to pay for the water slides. You can get the pool and unlimited slides, or the pool and tickets for each slide. All in all, this park is a very nice place for people of any age.

Been coming here since 1991. Love the atmosphere and rides. A great family outing!

The children's area is great.. I really like that the adult admission is free.. Expecially since we come to PA to visit my mother-in-law, and none of the adults really want to go on rides.

Great place to go and eat. You could walk all day with your family for free while they ride. Did iention they have good food, lol.

My day at Knobels can be described in one word
FUNTASTIC

Awesome place to take ths family amd not too expensive

Great place for the family and won't break the bank. Parking is free!

Free admission...wonderful!
Good food, wonderful variety!
Clean park with the old time feeling!!
You can purchase a wrist band or individual ride ticket, nice choice they allow....

It was the most fun place to visit. Clean and nice. I would definitely go again. The ride attendant were very friendly. Over all it was beutiful.

Great cheap fun for the whole entire family for all ages

Great and affordable place to spend a fun filled,day with the family.

Great atmosphere. Been going every year since 2010. Lots of fun rides.

Nostalgic. Classic theme park with great selection of classic rides, kiddie area, and some new ones too. Veterans and active duty military get free tickets at the ticket booths!!

Free parking, no admission fee, ride tickets (no expiration) and wrist bands. Awesome entertainment, fun rides for all ages, and great food. Truly a great day to be had by all.

Most amazing place to go to you feel like a kid again their hospitality is amazing and I will continue to go

I always have fun when I go. Great for family trips!

Why doesn't this amazing place have 5 stars as their average? There is nowhere that provides the same magic that Knoebels provides families every summer!

We literally have nothing to complain about during our trip (6/25 - 6/26/18). Rides were running as flawless as ever, including my new #1 wooden coaster (Phoenix), with Twister taking #2. Impulse was also a much better experience than in 2017! Don't get me started about the amazing experiences we had on all of the park's vintage and modern flat rides . . .

The food and beverage selection was equally as flawless, easily why Knoebels earns #1 Best Food in the world nearly each year (according to Amusement Today's Golden Tickets, for reference). Amazing prices too!

Staff was as friendly as ever, and there's an amazing variety of personalities. Everyone on their team, from ages 16 - 116, provided us with an amazing time!

Free Admission, Free Parking . . . and puppies everywhere!!

We look forward to our next trip in 2019, and seriously recommend that everyone takes a vacation (or daycation) to Knoebels!

It brought a smile to my daughter and sons face that's all I need

Great family-friendly park. Our two-year-old had plenty of rides he could try out. We enjoy the free admission and how shady the park is. The water park area looks very nice, too.

Amazingly family friendly and inexpensive...large variety of delicious foods.

Absolutely the best place to spend time, whether it is swimming, riding rides, or even just walking around. It is free to park and enter and works on a ticket or wristband system. No alcohol is allowed on property and any smoking areas are next to rides that will blow it all away.

The food here is fresh and amazing. I highly recommend Cesari's Pizza, it is probably the best pizza you can find. At the Round Stands and International Food Court, the food is quite fresh and very inexpensive considering that it is a nationally ranked park (most meals are easily under $30 for 4 people).

Always a good time. Free parking, admission and food is reasonable. Ticket prices are good.

Great place, at 71 yrs old I can't count the number of times I have been here. After visiting Orlando and Hershey for the first time ever this year I will take Knoebels over them.

Best amusement park I've been too! Very affordable, they have great rides for everyone, lines for the rides are short, longest I've waited was probably only 5mins.(which isn't bad at all). The staff is very nice and friendly. The park is very traditional. The Food is very good and if you love to camp, you can even camp beside the park. So If you plan everything right, it is sooooo worth the trip.

good family fun for all ages. Free admission with pay as you go with I think is awesome... Pay for what you want to ride. Good food choices also.

It's a wonderful amusement park! You must stop by the haunted house. It's definitely something to see.
You don't have to pay to get in the park and parking is free. The rides are reasonably priced and it's not overly crowded. The park has a good amount of rides(but it is mainly for children). The areas where you stand in line most have a lot of shade to stand under because they don't cut trees down. It's beautiful.
I'm not a fan of clowns but the clown that's there has been there since I was little and we always get our pictures taken at that spot.
The kids love the park. It's entertaining and so much fun!

It was a lot of fun, there are a lot of rides, food, and things to do. If you pay per ride it is a little pricey, but there are ride all day passes if you plan to ride a lot of rides.

Quaint and classic amusements. Something for the whole family.

Best value in America! Free parking and you only pay for the rides you choose to go on

So much fun with niece at park and pool and pizza out of this world!

The price is great grandkids had a great time lines went quickly love the cooing fans

Loved there hamburger and they did not rush you out of here. You can take your time and eat. Rest rooms where very clean.

Great spot for all ages, good food and family love......

A great place to take the kids or just to be a kid again. Free to park and free to walk in. Buy tickets or wristbands for rides. Plenty of food options that won't break the bank. Costs have increased over the years, but this is still one of the best little secrets in the Poconos. Lines are never as long as other parks and there's plenty of natural shade throughout the park. Because of the many gravel walkways your feet won't hurt by the end of the day and there's no stifling heat absorbed by it either. Check it out, it's a no brainer.

GREAT ESCAPE PLACE FOR SOMEONE WHO REALLY NEEDS A BREAK! LOVE TO SEE RICK K AND THE ALL-NIGHTERS!

Grew up going here. So glad i can take my son here. Free to enter, pay per ride or get a day or evening pass. They're always missing up shows and different exhibits. We enjoy seeing what's new everytime we come back.

No entrance fee, very good food and outstanding rides.

Family fun, family oriented. No cost to get in. Just pay for your rides. Military gets a 20 pack of tickets for free

It was nice not to pay to watch the kids ride the attractions

Great place for friends and family to go have a blast.

Ive gone to this place since i was a kid everything is not over priced, free admission, pool is cheap, rides have gotten pretty expensive is best to get the ride all day passes.

Even with covid, me and my family had a fun day and felt very safe.

Have loved going here since I was a kid! The best part is you can stop by if you are driving through to ride just one ride since there isn t a flat admission price. And that s exactly what I recently did!

It is THE best amusement park I've ever been to. (Putting money aside)

Fun for your whole family! Rides for people of all ages, good food, friendly service. They even have a Starbucks shack on site! Plenty of table space for picnics, lots of arcade games, roller coasters for the thrill seekers.

The ice cream stand wouldn't make us milkshakes because it was a little after 10 which is dumb they are quicker

Had such an amazing time here with my boyfriend. Hopefully I get to take my daughter next year she'd love it!!!

Only problem is people putting lawn chairs on dance concrete at the band shell, not enough room for people to dance

My family has been going to Knoebels for over 20 years and we love it there. As a father of two kids, I love the taking them on the rides I've been going on for years. I really appreciate how the Knoebels family treasures the old rides and the history of amusement parks. We just got back from a 3-day weekend at Knoebels and we miss it already. I'd do another day or two at the park if I could. Great rides, Free parking, free admission, great prices on the rides, and great food at great prices. All under the cover of tall trees. What more could you ask for?

Went to the Alamo for dinner. The park was very crowded however the restaurant was not. The food was good and waitress was very attentive.

This is the best family amusement park ive been to, rides for the entire family. Parking can get a bit to much, but its definitely worth it.

We have come to Knoebels for over 70 years as a family unit and love it. Fun and shade, bring your own lunch and only pay for what you ride. We live in Hershey, PA and its well worth the 1h 40m drive.

Knoebels is true family fun at a great price. They're an independent park who value wholesome entertainment and have been that way for generations. It's always fun to visit Knoebels and get a taste of what was best about the past, and what's best about today.

I just love this park free admission free parking and good rides for the kid u got inside. Love it.

This is a great family park: it's cheaper than other parks in the area, there are a lot of great rides for the kids, and a few decent coasters for the adults too. A really good haunted house amusement ride too, it's always rated one of the highest in the country.

Best Amusement park not only in central PA, but one of the best family friendly places in America.

My daughter and I went here for her Weis Market Company picnic abd had the best time there are so many rides it takes all day to ride them.

You don't have to pay to get in the park you just pay for the rides that you want to go on
