I have been going to Knoebels for around 15 years, and I must say that it is truly incredible. To start, theres no fee for parking or admission (you pay for the rides you want to go on), so its perfect for people who may not want to ride many rides or are on a budget. The prices for ride... more

We go here every year and stay at a nearby hotel in Danville or Bloomsburg. Make sure you check out hotel reviews before you stay....there are some jewels and some dives. Knoebels is the best. No fee to park and no fee to get in. You can buy an armband or tickets. We have 2 young children. The last time... more

I drove here all the way from Arlington, Virginia and it was totally worth it. The Gasoline Alley ride and the Haunted House ride both were fun and entertaining, and the swimming pool was a welcome refreshment after all that fun in the sun. I will for sure return. more

Our family of four traveled to Knoebel's for a company picnic. We have never been there before, so we didn't know what to expect. We loved it! I thought it was one of the nicest amusement parks we've been to. They had a good variety of rides for all interests. The beautiful scenery was one of the best parts. It... more

If your idea of an amusement park is the coporate designed, multi billion dollar properties run by rodents with big ears....then this is not the place for you. In fact, don't come here. I'd prefer to keep this place a secret for those who enjoy life, know how to have fun, and appreciate a great value. Knoebels can only be... more

First off, Knoebel's is not a mega-theme park. It's not supposed to be. If you're looking for concrete and asphalt everything, with tons of extreme thrill rides, and an equally extreme price tag to go along with it, then Knoebel's isn't for you. Knoebel's is one of the last of its kind - a full size traditional amusement park with... more

This place is a wholesome fun place to take the entire family. Folks that don't want to ride the rides, don't have to pay like at other parks. We love the pizza and fries and have been coming back every year for over 40 years. How we found the place? My aunt saw a car full of people that looked... more

I've been camping at Knoebel's and going to the park for about 10 years now. My family and a few other families we know always go the weekend before memorial day every year. We get the best campsites in the park (canadian provinces that back up to the woods!). And we always have a great time! It's still a bit... more

My first time to knoebels I was 4 years old. I'm now 27 and I bring my kids here! It offers free admission and parking! The rides are cheap compared to other amusement parks in the area (hershey, dorney, even wildwood) You can take a family of four, meals included for 150 bucks and have a great time! When I... more

We live about 20 min from this park and we come here alot. What other park would have free parking, free addmision, and reasonable prices. The rides are so unique and fun. You don't need alot of money to come here. Even the pool is ausome. I hope that it never gets run by a different management and that it... more
