Knoebels is the largest free admission amusement park in the United States and it's one of my favorite amusement parks in the world. Knoebels is the full package. It has amazing rides- including award winning roller coasters like Phoenix and Twister- plus delicious food, top notch customer service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Most of my own video footage is from 2020, but a few clips are from past years.

    Such a good park. You can tell by how clean and well maintained it is, the family is REALLY proud of it.
  • I just got home from visiting Knoebels, still one of my favorite places on earth! I honestly struggle to think of other places I'd rather be, amusement parks or otherwise.
  • @DuecePiece
    I just visited for my first time yesterday, in the cold rain with limited time at the park, and I must say this is hands down one of the best places on Earth! Such an incredible atmosphere in a beautiful setting, I would give an arm to own one of the houses in the middle of Knoebels! This place is as special as they get, I hope it stays around forever! It's that good!!
  • @Joypyf
    There couldn’t be a more thorough Knoebels review!!! 👍🏼🤓
  • One of the nice things about the park is that it is family owned! No big corporate to mess it up with! And I am pretty sure everyone binges on Phoenix!! I love this park and it is my childhood! Glad to see some love on it!
  • @CisForCoasters
    It's my favorite park, without question, for all of the reasons you discuss in the video. Such a special place with a really great vibe
  • @cillySee
    One thing that cannot be overstated is how good their customer service is. Last year, my family went to use the pool, but due to rain the night before it was closed. The slides, however, were not only open but also free for the whole day. Needless to say, we definitely came back for the pool

    Howdy! I used to work here, and yes! there actually is a road that runs through the park but it is not used by cars It is simply a paved road that runs the main length of the park but allows for staff parking near the lumber yard. It's walked for the most part and the trams take people up there too sometimes if both of them are running. I had a wild summer working here but thank you for capturing the nostalgia of working at this beautiful family owned park.
  • ive been here every single summer of my life 26 years straight! My family goes camping for a week so i grew up on these rides including Whirlwind (what flying turns used to be) and the bumper boats (now Impulse) and the rides never get old! I even wrote a song called Phoenix Falls lol

    I absolutely ❤ Knoebels! I've been going since I was little back in the 70s. Flyer is my all-time favorite flat ride. This place is simply perfection. It's only drawback is that it's a 2 1/2 hour ride for my from Central Jersey.

    After hearing this, I'd love to hear your review on more independently owned amusement parks such as Holiday World, Mt. Olympus and Silverwood to name a few.
  • @aishido1
    Thanks for the great review! Can't wait to go there this summer!
  • I love how in-depth you went with this review! I will be watching this again before my next visit there, since my first visit this year was always going to be just a quick credit-grab stop. The huge crowds that day confirmed that I should just get the credits. I look forward to spending a full day here, when it's not busy, and being able to check out everything.
  • Have you seen the nice deaf man that is always collecting tickets at the twister? See him every year he’s so sweet!
  • @jasoneaton9301
    Went with my daughter yesterday for the first time, and wow what an experience. The park has a hard to describe charm to it and we both just smiled the whole time we were there. Will for sure make it a point to go back. And Phoenix lived up to the hype.
  • @ScottyMania313
    I love all of your videos! This one is my favorite. This has the "Kennywood Memories" feel. Well done! Keep making great content, you are one of the best
  • @angelstrunk1197
    This review was spot on and really informative! l have always loved going to this park
  • @easynhonest
    Excellent . One of the best overviews of Knoebels yet . They only things I can think you missed were the 3 museums & the rental cottages . I always emphasize that for first timers it is a big mistake not to make Knoebels a full day park. Ridding all those awesome rare rides and getting re-rides on the coasters is essential for all enthusiasts .
