I have always loved going to Knoebels Amusement park. I have been going there every year since I was a baby, granted I am only in my teens. You would think that going every year would get boring, but it never does. Knoebels is a family-based park, so it is a place to spend great time with your loved ones.... more

Hey, every place has it's pluses and minuses. This place was affordable. There were two rollercoasters that were located close to one another, which my older son loved. There were plenty of rides for my younger son, too. It is older, 80 years, I think. But, this also allows for lots of shade trees on a hot day. There were... more

Just got back from a trip that included two days at Knoebel's. I'd read the mostly enthusiastic reviews and was looking forward to a good family time. Well, if you're looking for Six Flags or Hershey Park, this ain't it! It's not as clean and organized and there's not a lot of super thrill rides. If you have kids and... more

Had a wonderful 1st time at knoebels, and I think this will be a yearly trek for me. It's great to camp there. It's great to be able to relax after a hard day of fun. It really stinks having to drive home after going on rides all day. The food is top notch, some of the best amusement park... more

Perhaps it's because I'm used to bringing my family to places like Disney World, Busch Gardens, Hershey Park and other polished amusments parks, but KG just doesn't do it for me. Here was my very first experience at the park: Walking up to the ticket booth, I asked the lady inside if they had wristbands for our kids to ride... more

We found Knoebel's Old Fashioned Amusement Park after we joked with friends about growing up near a small town called Shamokin, PA. They invited us to visit the area and we found this gem of a little park. Lucky for us - our friend's mother works at the campground so we had an insider to get us ready for the... more

We love Knoebel's- all of it. From the camping to the amusements, this has got to be the bang for your buck in the nation. The camping is great- if you book early, you can guarantee a platform for tents and there is plenty of space for RV'ers. All the sites are well maintained and access to bathhouses is close... more

We made what is becoming a yearly family trek to Knoebels yesterday. My wife, our 4 year old son , and our newborn daughter had a great time. We discovered Knoebels back in 2005 and our biggest regret is that we didn't find it sooner. We arrived around noon on a Wednesday. The crowds were very light and my son... more

What an absolute gem, hidden in the valleys of the Susquehanna. We took our 3-year-old son for a quick stop on the way down to Lancaster. Nothing against Dutch Wonderland, which was great, but Knoebels is what my son is still talking about, and we're already forward to our next trip to Knoebels! First of all...the value! No entrance fee,... more
