How to Enjoy the Day at Knoebels Amusement Resort

Knoebels is one of the last old-fashioned amusement parks with a wooden roller coaster among its dozens of rides. The park started as a farm where people would go on hayrides after church; it has expanded into an amusement park with nearly 100 rides, cottages for sleeping, a campground, pool and a haunted house. The park is less crowded during the off-season and in the evenings. The park is large and offers something for everyone.
