Knoebel's Amusement Resort Reviews

Love Knoebels! You don't pay admission to the park, you can buy tickets to pay for rides..no fee for parking your car!

Used to love this place. Employees are rude. Food is terrible.

We love coming to Knoebels Grove. The rides are great fun, and it's beautifully nested in a forest. The price is very reasonable too.

Have been visiting Knoebels for the last 7 years or so. We always camp for our stay. Great food. Great rides. Especially love that one does not have to pay to get into the park as we have one family member who doesn't like rides (I know crazy, right?)

Great park free parking free admission lots of things for every one to do for the whole family

It's an extremely fun place to be especially with friends and family. You can camp here and there is plenty of food and different rides. The employees are also very nice and helpful. There are some rides that seem to always be broken and not get fixed and on the weekends you have to buy tickets and not get a wrist band, which annoys me but it's not the end of the world. Plus I feel that there are so many more pros than cons that it overweighs it, so if you can overlook the downfalls, you'll have a fantastic time.

Best amusmmet park in the area. Short lines, great rides! Food is at a fair price, and it's all good too.

Love knoebels prices are great. Food is delicious, and plenty of fun for the whole family

Love this place. Free entry so if you are not riding you dont have to pay. Great place for grandparents.

Free parking, courteous employees and veterans are treated with dignity.

We had an amazing time!! Fun for the whole family!!

Can t add enough positive commentary! Clean, friendly, so affordable!

Best place to visit for amusement rides in the middle of no where! Lots of fun

I loved this place as a child and even now that I'm older. Great family place as well

What can I say about this classic Americana amusement park? The parking is free, admission is free, and they have some classic amusement rides that are long gone in most places of the country. In fact, they pride themselves in working to preserve some of those wonderful rides. The carousel is one example, it is one of the few carousel rides that is more than just a ride, the outside row of riders 'compete' to get rings into a Lion target. This park has a great selection of rides and is a must-do on any amusement park enthusiast's bucket list.

A nice place to go where you don't pay for parking or entrance to the park.
It's a nice drive north of my residence.
About 1 1/2 hour drive but worth every minute of it. My granddaughters live it my daughter since she was young and my wife.
Just pay for an all day pass or tickets like if you were at a carnival.

It's family friendly and theirs things for all family members to do

For us it's a ongoing family tradition. We generally go a handful of times a year. Free parking, pay as you go options and great food. Wish they would take a little more care in the quality of their employees and do a wee bit more upgrading from year to year besides some fresh paint.

Great rides, great food, and great people. Decent prices. Kid and dog friendly. Don't want to ride...free admission.

Nice that you don't have to pay to park or for admission. Grandparents usually don't get on rides and + - $40 to be able to see the kids ride is not right. Knoebels is a fair deal place. They don't drain your wallet.

This place is awesome for little ones. No admission fee and you can buy tickets or all day ride pass

This place is the best dog friendly, people friendly and places to get water for your pet two legged or four. Water fountain free located in front of the arcade.

I came here all the time throughout my childhood and I loved it. It brings back so many good memories. I hope to come back one day.

A classic amusement park up in the lush mountains of PA. Free parking, free admission, affordable ride pricing, a wide variety of reasonably priced food, drinks, snacks, picnic shelters, a huge pool with waterslides and a climbing canopy. Knoebels is fun for all ages! There is simply nothing like it!

We have been going to Knoebles for over 30 years. Four generations we be there together next week, we love this park there is something for everyone young and old. The staff is friendly, the food is wonderful and the price can't be beat. I can't get on many rides so the free admission is a blessing and I can spend the money on my grandchildren. Thank you for always putting family first.

What's better than free parking and free admission? How about family and the memories you make when you're with them. Knoebels has it all and more. They are an award winning park for a reason. Lots of great food choices, rides that kids of all ages can enjoy, and very good entertainment as well. Come see what all the whispers are about. You won't be disappointed. Oh and remember... it's a secret. ;)

I love this place. So kid friendly. You don't feel like you are being ripped off at every turn either, like other big name amusement parks. My father joined us. He has mobility difficulties and can't ride on rides so he only had to pay for food while there which helped him feel good about the day since he wasn't having to pay just to spend time with his Grandkids.

One of my favorite places on earth. It's very affordable, has some of the best rides I've ever been on, and always a great time. Even the times I've been here and it's been packed the lines always move pretty quickly.

It's a great place to go with family with kids or just adults, with friends or acquaintances to get to know them better... Definitely fun and memorable spot to go on a date. I had one of my best here...

More places in the world should be like Knoebels!!

Have always loved coming here until today. My granddaughters prescription glasses fell off in the coal mine ride, they wont stop the ride to even look for them, have to wait until they close, then they will. Unbelievable, money more important than someone having their glasses to see.

Five stars! Really enjoy the environment. Glad they reduced smoking areas in the park. Hard with little kids, and the cigarette smoke. Wish they had a cell phone ban in some areas, lol.

Have been going since childhood. Fair prices, great food. Everyone can go as there is no admission fee. You pay for what you do! I will always love this family run establishment!

Best amusment park in Pennslvania. Parking is free, and you can walk into the park without paying. Price is for individual rides. Trees all over the park provides the perfect shade. Great food thats not too expensive. Great place. Perfect for a day of fun with the whole family.

We love Knoebels amusement park and the camping site. We go every year for camping and its about 15 minute walk to the amusement park. Great food, great prices, family and kid friendly, plenty of rides and places to sit down, lots of shady areas within the amusement park to keep cool, and its a great place to take the whole family and just get away.

This was my first experience going here. There is an endless supply of rides and games for kids, and adults to enjoy. Everything was clean, the food was delicious, and my kids had a blast.

This park is fun and entertaining for the whole family. It is also a lot more affordable than most amusement parks.

MY HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH. There isn't a more delightful or family-oriented place I can imagine. FREE PARKING AND FREE ADMISSION! All-day wristbands are very reasonable for the number of rides available. They also have THE BEST AMUSEMENT PARK FOOD! For thrill seekers, Phoenix (aka bae), Twister, and Impulse are pretty rad. Fantastic assortment of new and classic flat rides, with rare gems like Flyers, Whipper, and the Grand Carousel, complete with brass ring. Other standouts include Cosmotron, Flume, Italian Trapeze, Round Up, Galleon, and Power Surge. Haunted Mansion is THE BEST DARK RIDE EVER, and the Pioneer Train and Chair Lift (blanked on the name) provide excellent scenic excursions. Knoebels also has a great Austism Awareness Day and has a great kiddieland area with extremely well-maintained rides for youngsters, including a great Spiral Slide and Kozmos Kurves, which is a kiddie coaster with some force. In all, a can't miss trip for coaster enthusiasts and families everywhere!

Been going to this park since I was a kid. Went there as a teenager and now I'm going there with my family. Fantastic time, great workers, everything is priced reasonably. Great time, super clean and I was there 1.5 weeks after it flooded and you'd never know expect for the pool being closed which is no fault of theirs. 10 out of 5 stars!

Always fun, family friendly, great rides and good eats. I suggest packing a cooler. The free pavilions are close to the parking area and the added trams make ease of entry into the park seamless. Great excursion for kids and the young at heart.

It's just such a great place. Lots of fu to be had. Getting a little pricey. Beautiful property

Awesome place to take the kids great amusement park free admission free parking just pay for the rides you want to go on. They have a great camp ground and have good food. Plenty of gift shops to buy souvenir and lots of places to eat. Park is always clean and kids are always excited to go there. It is a very scenic place to visit creek runs through the park a a large swimming pool in the middle with diving boards and slides that are in the shallow end. There is a cool rock waterfall (fountain) in the middle of the pool. Would recommend for a good get away with the family.

Always a good time at Knoebels. Wish there were more coasters than 2 but its not a park all about rides, its about fun, family, and friends. Something for everyone to do without having to pay 60 just to walk in

Free parking, free entrance to park, good food, excellent rides, good prices

Wonderful park with attentive, kind and thoughtful employees. The place isn't money hungry. The food choices are affordable, plenty of choices, and all are delicious. The people who come are are polite and kind as well. Love this place. I've been coming since I was a small child and when I get small children of my own they will come here too. :)

Love this place. Can't say enough good things. Great food for an amusement park. Great rides and pay as you go so no need for those who don't ride to pay an astronomical fee to get in

Decided to take my two-year-old and seven Month old. Been visiting this amusement park my entire life. After canceling our summer plans and vacation to Disney. We decided to take a few short trips to places like Knoebels.
What eight honestly disappointment and disgusting experience. Upon entering and all wearing masks we proceeded to buy tickets for our children to ride the very minimal and she rides open.
We decide to buy tickets for the children instead of bracelets. Where we are informed after inserting our credit card numerous times that all the booths were down due to IT errors. Instead of just compensating or helping us out after driving an hour to the park. The very route attendant said cash only. It was kind of a shock being that most of the countries card only at the moment! So we proceeded to do what was right by our children try to find an ATM machine to take some cash out. We decided to try a few stores seeing if there was an ATM machine or debit or we could buy something and take out cash so we can take a trip around if you rides. When we entered a store to ask for help or an atm we were spoken to very rudely bc we had a stroller.

This was unusual for knoebels. We ve gone several time and had wonderful experiences. It s always been a fun trip. Unfortunately, this trip was not for us. We ended up coming everyone up and going somewhere else for the day.

Nice for the family. Best thing is the entrance is free for the ciniers that just go with the family and walk.

Good time, kids definitely enjoyed, rides for all, good food choices

Free parking and admission, low prices on food and ride tickets, free entertainment, and serene location make for a wonderful experience not found anywhere else.

Be cause your parking people are not professional nhi

There was a bit of a learning curve going here for the first time as there are no signs telling you where to go for handstamps and tickets until you are a decent way into the park... Or we didn't see them. I bought tickets at a ticket booth and then realized I still had to go to the handstamp area for the pre bought tickets. Once we figured that out, then the map had me confused. Beware that each category has the same numbers but they are different colors. We wasted a lot of time trying to find something but were looking at the wrong color of the same number. They have gluten free and dairy free food options that are delicious. The rides are wonderful and we will definitely return!!! Buy your tickets online to save money. The books of tickets have to be bought on site.

The family friendly environment makes it fun for any and everyone!

Quaint little amusement park! Not all rides operating. Would like to come back when everything is open.

Great place for the family on a budget! Free admission and parking. No need to pay admission to just walk around and not ride any rides. Also the option to buy tickets if you decide to go on a ride. Love this place!!

Great admission prices, free parking and food is affordable. Excellent park for the large budget conscientious family. Most importantly rides are awesome.

Great park with lots of different options for all ages. Park is huge, so bring good walking shoes.

It's an interesting place to check out for yourself.. I wouldn't personally go out of my way to drive a long distance for it.. It's a nice step back in time.prices are great and the food isn't bad. Nice place to spend a day with children. Teen and below i would say.. Other than that its your typical style amusment park with a mix of history. Well worth the visit.

We will definitely be back. Comfortable, laid back atmosphere.

Fairly cheap activity to do with the family. A lot of rides and activities for all ages.

Love love love this place. Weve been going there since we were children

A great family place. Admission and parking is still free. You can pay only for the rides you want. The food is terrific.

Great place to visit, lots of rides for all ages. Food is excellent, and there are tons of different types available. Don't forget 2 of the best rollercoasters in the country. The Phoenix give you that out of your seat feeling, Twister keeps you holding on...

Fun Park but their craft fair is unbelievable getting bigger each year. Bring a lot of money.

Great park for family with children, free parking,free admission, certain week day nights they have all rides for the price of a hand stamp, or you can buy books of ride tickets that never expire, you can you them from year to year. BEST PARK EVER!!!!

Its a fun family friendly environment. I always gave a blast when I go there

My family went there yesterday for my grandsons 5th birthday. N half of us went to the big rides n half went to the rides for the little ones. There were 15 of us totally. We had a blast. Its the number 1 park for us

Have been traveling here for 30 plus years. I used to come with my grandparents and parents and now I come with my own children. We have all always loved it, there is something for everyone.
