What parents say
"Was just here yesterday on their opening day 04/26/2025 and had a great time I haven’t been here in years and this was my kids first time coming here we had a blast. The great thing about Knoebels Is parking is free as well as to get in and love that you can camp and there are cottages available. The food is always really good and there’s so much to do. So many rides and food options available. Will definitely be back sometime 🙂"

"The amusement park is family friendly, plenty of rides for adults as well and being able to walk around in the park without paying an entry fee is a huge plus! The food in the park is above average for an amusement park and the pizza is a must have! My family goes every year in the fall and the Halloween decorations are always enjoyable!"
