Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

Rides were great. Very disappointed with the people who were running the rides. They didn't help people get on or off the rides. They were too busy socializing with on another.

Always a good time! Best value for your money. Been there so many times I can't keep count.

Knoebels is amazing always. So much fun. But if I had to listen to one more old man employee mansplain to me, or raise their voice at me, I was going to lose it. Male employee on the train ride was horribly rude to my friends and I when telling us where to sit. I couldn t hear him and he was wearing his mask with sunglasses, so I didn t even know he was speaking to me. He got loud with me to the point where I felt the need to stand up for myself, which doesn t happen often.

Otherwise tons of fun.

My children and I have loved this place for years. Has something for all ages.

It was great,the food was a little expensive ,but the rides were fun and it sucks you needed a separate wristband for the rollercoaster

Great place to go! Every time we come to PA we will visit Knoebels! You wont find a more reasonable amusement park!

Awesome nostalgic park! Great for all ages. Great history and fun rides. Something to do for everyone.

Its all fun and more with happy people and great food. The rides were great though being there in opening day they didnt have the chair lift operating yet, i enjoyed almost all the rides.

Knoebels is an amazing magical.place where even adults act like kids. The food is amazing and there are so many options of things to eat. Free parking free admission and free shows and that band stand. There is something for everyone here. Gift shops, rides, games its a nice place for even elderly people to just come get and ice cream and watch a show at the bandstand. I cannot day enoigh good things about this park.

I went on overnight trips to Knoebels. When I was in 9th Grade and 11th Grade.

Great place for the family! Love all the shade from the trees and it feels way more relaxed than that chocolate place!

No cost to park, pay as you ride. Beautiful grounds! Very nice place to go with family!!

My family has come to Knoebels since I was little and now I bring my kids. We absolutely love it. There is no better family amusement park.

It's not expensive & pay as you ride. Don't have to pay to walk through gate or to park. Can take own food.

Old fashion park pets are welcomed pay by tickets or buy a pass no money needed to just walk enjoy

One of the best amusement parks around. It has something for everyone young and old. And you dont get ripped off on food, parking, or tickets like you do at another famous, chocolate themed park. Free parking, no admission cost (pay as you go or wrist bands) and awesome food. And being that it is in the mountains there are a lot of trees in the park, so shade isnt too hard to find on a hot day.

Absolutely one of the best family fun amusement parks around! Great atmosphere, great prices and great food! We go every year with the family for the day and maybe one year we'll get to rent a cabin and stay there for a few days.

Lots of good rides and good stands. Just the workers were kinda mean.

I enjoy going to knoebels. Love this place just the way it is. Very affordable for families. I don't go to the others I can't afford it there.

Honestly, Knoebels might be my favorite place in the world. It s like walking back in time to the 1940 s and seeing how the old boardwalks used to operate. The rides speak for themselves, especially Phoenix and the Haunted Mansion which both deserve all the praise they get (and then some). The best part is the admission is free and there are so many things to do besides go on rides. I could spend a full week there and still not get to do everything the park has to offer. In fact you could probably spend an entire day playing Fascination and never get bored. The staff is friendly for the most part, but usually the ride operators won t go out of their way to improve your day. Those that do are certainly appreciated. Fun for all ages and personalities, even people who hate theme parks will fall in love with Knoebels.

We love the natural setting and shade trees, totally sets this apart from other amusement parks. Provides relaxation as well as excitement and entertainment.

Great place to take the kids! Love the atmosphere and free parking! Be wary, trashy new yorkers come here unfortunately.

Great place to bring the family and even the pets, Its very fun and has a lot of attractions!

If you remember Dorney Park in the 60s and 70s you will love Knoebels

Park is wonderful, made some major improvements this past winter, if you need water for your dog just ask they will even give you cups or bowls, plus they have doggie drinking fountains. Only park I know of that has drinking fountains and will give you cups of ice for free. Food is so good and not over priced. As for rides flying turns it's a must ride along with the sky way.

What can we say about Knoebels. It is one of our last precious beautiful amusement parks. My family goes there every year for opening day and has been for over 20 years. It truly is one of those places that it doesn't matter if your 3 years old or 90 years old when you get there you can be a child for the day. Is absolutely free to walk in so for those family members that don't ride the rides they can still enjoy your day with their family or friends. And as far as the food and desserts there are too many to mention and all as I feel very reasonably priced compared to that of the big amusement parks. May God bless Knoebels

Wonderful clean small fun park
Great food fun rides handicapped ride passes too!!
Awesome fudge at beautiful candy store.
The shop houses are so beautiful

Wonderful family atmosphere. Plenty of thrilling rides that rival other amusement parks. Great place to go if you are with people who don't do rides, because entrance to the park is free, you just pay for rides and food (unless you bring your own). They have a great variety of delicious foods for sale throughout the park.

Lines are long prices are high. Most staff are very friendly. Some bathrooms made me feel like I was out camping. Very cheaply made.

Had an awesome time there with my girlfriends family. It was my first time there and I loved it! I liked how you didn't have to pay to get in only to eat and go on rides. Gave it a different feel than larger amusement parks. Great place for a family trip! I will definitely go back!

Free entry! Fun place for the family. Not overly expensive.

We love Knoebel's! Our family camps here annually for the weekend over the summer and have a blast. The rides are great. Free park admission is awesome. Pet friendly. Great campgrounds. What more could you want?

They dont count the tickets when u get on rides right now. U just walk up and throw the tickets in a bucket.. I didnt totally abuse this loophole as we spent about $200 that day, but we definitely rode the discount rides. 5 stars

What a place! A slice of old-school Americana in only the best ways! Reasonably priced, fabulous family atmosphere. Love that many of the ride operators are otherwise retirees--not only do they have the experience to deal with people, but they have the patience and unflappable-ness to keep everyone happy. Love that you can enter and exit anywhere. This translates into a very uncrowded feeling. Also enjoyed seeing many examples of pragmatism, resourcefulness, and basic logic. Excellent food. And, of course, the multitude of iconic and famous rides and attractions. Probably one of the best value amusement park experiences anywhere.

Very nice place. Clean and family friendly. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Great affordable family fun! Fantastic ride selection and great delicious food options everywhere you turn!

No fault of the park rained the whole time I was there

A great place for all ages. Have been coming since my childhood and will continue to come back as long as I am able.

Awesome day I went 2 weeks ago and tonight it was just a beautiful day kids and wife loved the day

We have gone 2 years in a row and plan on going back every year. we love knoebels!!!

Awesome free admission park! Has a great area with kiddie versions of the big rides, so there are lots of options for the littles and the adults in the group. The Phoenix is one of the top wooden roller coasters and is an absolute blast! Also going to give a shout-out to The Flyers which looks boring, but is a lot of fun since you control the rudder, so you control your own experience. :). Very budget friendly (the most expensive ride is $3.50, most are between $2-3) and the food is excellent (and also well priced). The wait time for rides is very short, even with the ramped up cleaning procedures for CoVid that have them shut down for a few minutes to clean. Highly recommend. :)

I just went for the first time today, and it was great! With the pay-per-ride system and no admission or parking fee, I didn't feel the stress I normally do at amusement parks to cram everything in to make it worth the money. It was very relaxing and plenty to do for my 3 year old niece. Will definitely go again.

Great place to go when you want to pretend you weren't disfigured in a horrible boating accident, and imagine how life would be if you could have kids.

Some people were made to wear masks and others were left go. Made my 2 grandsons 4 and 5 leave line for a ride because they couldn't wear masks. I watched many other kids their age get on and off rides without masks. If u do that to one kid you have to enforce it with them all

It's a family friendly fun Amusment Park With kid rides and big kid rides it's a truly scenic ride with montains up 54 and 487 it is worth the drive and the money the food is the best out of all amusement parks I've been at.

PreK Day! Wonderful staff, always great prices, and yummy funnel cake!!

My family has been coming for generations. You can't beat the price (free entry and free parking. Choice btw wrist band or pay per ride) the food stands are all reasonably priced (3 of us ate 1 3 amigos combo near the pheonix for under $8) and the rides are great. Large variety to appease the thrill seeker to the slower paced crowd.

Love that it's free parking cheap foods and it's only 20 dollars for tickets. I go here 3 or 4 times a year

great place..... outstanding bang for your buck... very clean

This is the first time I've been to knoebels in quite some time. They have a very good selection of rides and, better yet, they have a huge selection of food that's reasonably priced and not overcrowded. Really, my biggest dissatisfaction with the place is that they let people bring their dogs. As a dog owner, I think it's attractive. However, a lot of people I encounter in the park with their dogs don't have basic etiquette with regard to controlling their dogs.

Free admission...pay for the rides you ride. $1.75 to $3.00 per ride. Japeleno cornbread grill cheese husband loved. Water park and slides also( didnt ride).

I ve been going here since i was four and i can say this is an incredible place especially for family. The food is unexplainably good and not pricy at all.

Such an AMAZING place!!! Totally impressed!! Will definitely be back!!!

We had an amazing time yesterday! Prices were not bankrupting us. Staff, food were wonderful. My grandkids loved it. There is truly something for babies to grandma's like me. So worth the 2 hour drive.
We plan to come next year and camp

Knoebels is the best! It is family-friendly and affordable. Park entry is free- you can pay per ride or on weekdays get an unlimited pass. There are also a wide variety of food options and plenty of games and activities. We have made wonderful memories here and hope to continue to for many years to come!

First time going there drove over 2 hours to get there my family and I will be going on vacation there next year and staying for a week just to spend more than one day we had a very good time there

Can't wait to take my little one for the first time

Pretty nice park, albeit quite out of the way to get to. The best feature they have is free parking along with pay per ride. So you can decide to go there and ride only a couple rides for real cheap which you cannot do at most amusement parks these days. The rollercoasters are a good level of intensity and very fun!

Always a great time. There are rides for everyone. The food is delicious and there's so many options. Very affordable day at an amusement park! I love that there's also plenty of shade and benches all around the park.

Very affordable. Food was great. EXTREMELY Convenient to be able to walk to and from the parking lot without having to deal with admission/re-admission. The Flying Turns and Impluse wait was an hour to ride but every other ride we got on faster than we'd ever had imagined we'd be able to on a Sunday in the middle of summer. Favorite rides were the Phoenix and Stratosfear.

everyyear we camp and play at this gem im the Pa mountains will continue to come back

Family friendly! So nice that grandparents don't have to pay to get in to watch their grandkids enjoy the park. There's a bench in the shade at nearly every ride, so we can enjoy the experience without too much sun or standing too long.

It's a great getaway place to leave all your troubles behind.

We love this park. We live in FL where people think Disney is great. But we know better. There is no other park like knoebels. Try the perogies. One order is plenty for two to share.
