Great place and great article! Myself, our kids, and our grands had their first experience on rides at Knoebels. It’s the best amusement park around, hands down!
I absolutely agree! I can't wait until this summer when S is big enough to ride the rides, too.
You did a great job talking about the charm of Knoebels. Sadly, it seems like my lifelong favorite part is overlooked by every review. That is the small stage where narrators tell a story while kids from the audience act it out. There are even costumes!!!!
Oh my goodness, you're right! If it's the same place I'm now remembering, I haven't been over to that spot in ages but will absolutely prioritize it when we visit this summer. My oldest will be the perfect age. Thanks for the reminder :)
Absolutely hit my high points, like the haunted house, the mini-golf, and the train ride. But do not miss the food. It is the best in the region. My church supports ministry in the campgrounds which is awesome.
You’re so right, Kenneth! Maybe my next post should be a food tour - there’s so much good stuff. And super reasonably priced, considering it’s an amusement park. Thanks for commenting!
We absolutely, love the park. Took the kids there when they were little. My son loved it so much he got married in the campground and all the guest had a great time at the park. As an empty nester now we still enjoy going to walk around have some ice cream or funnel cake. Of course have to ride the
Phoenix.
Aw, I love that your son got married there! What a special memory. My dad had a small heating oil business and he always did company picnics at Knoebels. I'm jealous that you live close enough to just scoot over for a stroll and a Phoenix ride! Thanks for reading and commenting :)
I have been coming to Knoebels Amusement Park since I was little. One of my favorite rides was the kiddie roller coaster. Now I love going on rollercoaster riders. The more loops the better I have always said. However, the roller coasters at Knoebels are my favorites.
Now my fiance and I come back sometimes to play miniature golf and go into play land. Both places there are the BEST! The entire park is the greatest Amusement Park around and I would recommend it to anyone!
I absolutely agree, Tina, but funnily enough I love Knoebels because I DON'T love roller coasters! Don't get me wrong, theirs are apparently great, but there's so much that I can do as a non-thrill seeker compared to other parks that I have a much better time! I love that there's something for everyone :) Thanks for reading and commenting!
Thank you for all the great memories of Knoebels. I was fortunate to live within five miles and have watched the park grow but still maintain its family oriented charm. Being able to take my dog there and still enjoy the rides is a big appeal to many. Too bad the roller skating rink is gone now, great for the teens!
That's awesome, Reenie! We were about an hour and a half away growing up and it would have been so nice to be able to just pop in whenever! The skating rink was a bit before my time but must have been so fun. Thanks for commenting :)
I would just like to say that it was my second time visiting Knoebels my husband used to go there when he was a kid and I have to say Knoebels is one of the best amusement parks family oriented that I've ever been to we had an awesome time on Sunday the weather was great we went on twister for the first time and it was heart pounding awesome also the other rides were definitely great we had a really nice time I can't wait to bring my grandkids there I work for Crayola Experience so it was nice to go to an amusement park where you don't have to spend a whole lot of money and still have a great time I would definitely recommend Knoebels to any family have a wonderful day can't wait to come back next month
That sounds fantastic, Sally Lynn! I'm so glad you had a great time and hope that you're able to take your grandkids soon :)
