The owner of Knoebels, a beloved Pennsylvania amusement park that will celebrate its 100th birthday this summer, admitted that he had to “pinky swear” that he would never charge admission.
Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest free-admission amusement parks in the country. Guests pay-as-you-go for retro rides, roller coasters, kid-friendly attractions, games, camping and even an 18-hole golf course. While lesser known, Knoebels consistently ranks among the best amusement parks in the U.S., recently taking home the title of top amusement park on TripAdvisor's “Best of the Best” list.
