Two of the best coasters on the planet, fantastic food including pizzas the size of your house and THE best french fries anywhere. Free Parking, Free Admission to the park, definitely recommend getting the wristband for the day. I have to been to PLENTY of Parks and this is the only one I go back to every single year, often... more

I can think of no better place to go for family fun than Knoebels. There are so many rides for the children and great attractions. Admission into the itself park is FREE!! You can then either purchase booklets of tickers OR pay one price and ride all day! For adults that aren't riding with their children this really saves money.... more

Looking for a great family vacation spot on a shoestring budget? Look no further than Knoebel's. As an avid camper, I know a good, clean campground when I see one and Knoebel's campground is top on my yearly must go agenda. The campground is enormous and while some of the sites are close together, there are sites available to accommodate... more

I'm 61 and have been going to Knoebel's since I was a young child. Where else can you park for free, get in for free and enjoy a free concert at the bandshell? There are enough thrill rides, kiddie rides and various food venues to satisfy everyone. You can pay for each ride individually, purchase a book of tickets or... more

We drove 3 hours from NJ to Knoebels and it was worth the trip! There is no entrance fee, nor is there a fee to park in its gigantic parking lot. Visitors can bring their own food and drinks, but not to worry, since in-park food purchases are inexpensive. We noticed many visitors had pet dogs with them (which you... more

This is the only amusement park that I have visited that leaves me feeling refreshed at the end of the day. At other amusement parks, our entire family feels exhausted at the end of the day. The difference is that admission is free, and parking is free too. So, you do not have to run yourself around rushing to try... more

After hearing so many great things about Knoebels, and some of my family visiting beofre, this is the year for all 6 of us to make the trip. The nice thing is there is no admission, and you pay with tickets which are sold in denominations of $1, .50, .25 and .10 (why, I have no idea) Most rides are... more

I grew up 20 minutes away from Knoebels so grew up going several times a summer, I know live out of the area but make it a point to get home and get there at least once a year. Free parking, free admission, you can take in a picnic lunch, you can take your dog in with you. We ride... more

We were very excited to try a new amusement park but were sorely disappointed by this one. The bathrooms were full of flies and very dirty with broken door latches and no seats on the toilets. We had to park in a very muddy parking lot. The park was fairly crowded. We found you could end up spending quite a... more

I had high expectations for this place, as the reviews are all pretty good and those who've been there swear by it. I was thoroughly impressed - with the whole place, from the rides to the food to the parking. This is my first review, and I'm writing only because those who've shared were right, and I am going to... more
