Nestled in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, lies Knoebels Amusement Resort – a family-owned and operated theme park that has been entertaining visitors since 1926. Despite its rich history and unique attractions, Knoebels is often overshadowed by larger, more well-known theme parks. In this blog post, we’ll explore what makes Knoebels so special, how to plan your visit, and what other attractions and activities you can enjoy in the surrounding area.

What Makes Knoebels Amusement Resort Special

Knoebels Amusement Resort is one of the most unique and special theme parks in the country. Tucked away in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, this family-owned and operated amusement park has been providing entertainment for visitors since 1926. What sets Knoebels apart from other theme parks is its family-friendly atmosphere, affordability, and wide variety of rides and attractions.

1. Family-Owned and Operated

One of the things that makes Knoebels so special is the fact that it’s a family-owned and operated theme park. This gives the park a personal touch that’s hard to find elsewhere. From the friendly staff to the attention to detail in the park’s design and theming, everything at Knoebels feels authentic and genuine. The family’s commitment to the park’s success is evident in the park’s continued growth and expansion over the years.

2. Affordability

Another thing that sets Knoebels apart from other theme parks is its affordability. Unlike many other parks, Knoebels offers free parking and admission. Visitors only pay for the rides and attractions they want to enjoy, which makes it a great option for families on a budget. The park also offers a variety of ticket options, including pay-per-ride tickets and unlimited ride wristbands, so visitors can choose the option that best fits their budget and needs.

3. Variety of Rides and Attractions

Knoebels offers a wide variety of rides and attractions that cater to visitors of all ages and interests. From classic wooden roller coasters like the Phoenix and Twister to modern thrills like the Impulse and StratosFear, there’s something for everyone at Knoebels. The park also has a number of family-friendly rides, kiddie rides, and water attractions. One of the park’s most popular attractions is its Grand Carousel, which dates back to 1913 and features 63 hand-carved horses.

4. Unique Park Atmosphere

The park’s unique atmosphere is another thing that sets Knoebels apart from other theme parks. Unlike the big, corporate-owned parks, Knoebels has a small-town feel that’s both charming and welcoming. The park is beautifully landscaped with plenty of shade trees and picnic areas, making it a great place to relax and spend time with family and friends. There are also a number of unique shops and restaurants throughout the park that offer a taste of local flavor.

5. Safety and Cleanliness

Knoebels takes the safety and cleanliness of the park very seriously. The park is inspected regularly by state and local officials to ensure that all rides and attractions are operating safely. The park also has a dedicated maintenance team that works tirelessly to keep the rides and facilities in top condition. In addition, the park has a number of clean and well-maintained restrooms throughout the park.

Planning Your Visit to Knoebels Amusement Resort

If you’re planning a visit to Knoebels Amusement Resort, there are a few things you should know to make the most of your experience. From choosing the best time to visit to getting the most out of your ride tickets, here are some tips to help you plan your perfect trip.

1. Choosing the Best Time to Visit

The time of year is the first thing to consider when planning your visit to Knoebels. The park is open from late April to early October, with the summer months being the busiest. If you’re looking to avoid the crowds, consider visiting on a weekday or during the early or late part of the season. The park also offers special events throughout the year, such as Hallo-Fun in the fall and Christmas light displays during the holidays.

2. Buying Tickets

Knoebels offers a variety of ticket options to fit your budget and needs. Visitors can purchase individual ride tickets, ride all day wristbands, or a combination of both. If you plan on riding a lot of attractions, the ride all day wristband is usually the best value. However, if you only plan on riding a few attractions, individual ride tickets may be a better option. Keep in mind that some of the park’s most popular attractions, such as the Phoenix roller coaster, may have longer lines and require more tickets.

3. Getting to the Park

Knoebels is located in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, and is easily accessible by car. The park offers free parking, but the lot can fill up quickly on busy days. If you arrive later in the day, you may need to park further away and take a shuttle to the entrance. The park also offers a camping area for visitors who want to spend the night.

4. Packing for Your Visit

When packing for your visit to Knoebels, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The park is located in a wooded area, so be sure to bring bug spray and sunscreen. You may also want to bring a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Comfortable shoes are a must, as you’ll be doing a lot of walking throughout the park. If you plan on riding water attractions, bring a swimsuit and towel.

5. Exploring the Park

Knoebels is a large park, so it’s a good idea to take some time to explore before diving into the attractions. The park is divided into several themed areas, each with its own unique attractions and shops. Be sure to check out the historic Grand Carousel and the beautiful landscaping throughout the park. There are also plenty of food options, including local favorites like pierogies and funnel cakes.

6. Safety and Rules

Knoebels takes safety very seriously, and visitors are required to follow certain rules to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Be sure to read and follow all posted rules and regulations for each attraction. Some rides may have height or weight restrictions, so be sure to check before getting in line. Visitors are also required to wear proper footwear on all attractions.
