This is a vintage amusement park with something to offer all ages. The simple fact that there is no parking fee and no admission charge score big points with me. You can purchase tickets and pay for each individual ride or purchase an all day hand stamp (available on weekdays). There are many picnic pavilions and yes, you are allowed... More

Besides its incomparable location in the woods with flowing rivers, fantastic food and vintage charm, Knoebel's best feature is its free admission. Different levels of ride wristbands are available as well as individual ride tickets so everyone only pays for how much they ride making the park controllably affordable for any budget. Many picnic groves are also available although I... More

I generally make a trip to this park once a year as it is fairly close to us. Admission is free which is a huge perk. It's not like Hershey Park or anything but I prefer this park. The food is always good and there are lots of choices. The rides are fun and if you go on the right... More

We went on opening day, so they had wrist bands, 2 for the price of 1. I have twin 8 year old girls so this worked out perfect. It was not really crowded either, which was surprising for opening day. My girls were the perfect age for the park, so if you have 7-9 year olds, it will be great!... More

Return to a bygone era of "family" fun. The value is outstanding as everything is fairly priced from the great rides and coasters to the delicious food and FREE Parking, imagine that, FREE Parking. The staff is well trained and friendly, and the park is clean as a whistle. This is a 5 star value all the way.

We took our 9 year old twins & our puppy here for a fun filled day! It is great! No parking or admission fees, can buy tickets that do not expire or wrist band. Since it was opening day, the ticket line for the wrist bands were ridiculously long. We opted to buy 2 books of 20 tickets, which was... More

If you haven't been, plan a day to get there. Inexpensive, very well maintained and some of the happiest & most peaceful times you will know.

Per ride tickets. Some armband nights. Great food! Old-time rides and great wooden roller coasters. If you just want to walk around and not ride, it doesn't cost you a dime.

This is now our favorite amusement park to take the kids. It's alittle out of the way, but well worth it. First of all, the prices are great. You don't pay to get into the park (no $50 entrance fee so my 3 year old can ride 4 rides). You buy tickets once you're in and you pay per ride,... More

Been to this place so many times we practically know the layout by heart. A GREAT park for all-ages but especially the little ones. The pay-one-price is a great deal but if you just want to pop in for a few hours you have the option to pay by the ride. And they have GREAT FOOD. Best funnel cake I... More
