How can admission be free? Do they charge $40 for concession drinks?
I’m tired of Disney and universal.
I’ve never been to Disney (too poor growing up) and have never really had any desire to go. The horror stories on the tab even small families ring up are only too common.
Upwards of $15,000!!!!!
You pay for each ride, not to get into the park. You can even bring your own drinks in. Plus there are lots of shade trees for us old folks to sit under while we watch younger ones go on the rides.
You purchase tickets and choose the rides you want to ride (or buy a wristband during the week). There is no charge to enter the park. This way, Grandma pays zero to watch her grand kids ride the rides instead of a ridiculous park entry fee.
There are actual homes and a running creek in the middle of the park. It’s not like other parks at all.
yes and it’s always crowded. People spend a ton to get there, and then can only go in a handful of rides. it’s okay but lots of other options out there
Nice place, we rode the Harley’s, there is parking for motorcycles, long lines, and big turkey drumsticks (2 of us shared it), you’re better of going on a weekday....
And it’s free admission..
I grew up a few miles from Knoebels.
I went there regularly in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Free picnic pavilions for family reunions and other events.
One problem, they flooded frequently. Major floods.
One of my clients built their big wooden roller coaster. Some of my beer buddies worked their entire life there. It’s a great place.
Many wonderful memories at Knoebels.
How could they charge admission into a place that big, outdoors? They couldn’t possibly monitor every access point. You buy food, and tickets for rides. The ride from the parking to the park itself, and back again, is free; but most folks are tempted to try the other ones ;)
My in-law relatives in the Lehigh Valley love the place.
