Fun for the whole family!

Location:  391 Knoebels Blvd.  Elysburg, PA 17824

Amusement Park Admission: Free!  Pay for rides individually.




Tour the entire park aboard the old fashioned locomotive!  The park boasts two exciting train rides!  Good for all ages!




New exciting rides are added to the park each year in addition to the old-time favorites!  Experience old park favorites never seen in most amusement parks!  Enjoy amazing food, ride on the Pheonix wooden roller coaster (entered into the top 10 roller coasters in the U.S.!), or steer your own motor boat through the winding canals of the park!  Take a view from atop the ferris wheel or sky ride, feel the wind in your hair aboard the Galleon or my personal favorites, the Paratroopers and The Flyer!  See what all of those TV specials are talking about in the beautiful hand-craftsmanship of the carousel horses on the Grand Carousel.  This carousel is not just for the kids!  Adults line up to sit on the outside horses to collect brass rings.  This was an ongoing contest between myself, my brothers, my father and my uncles during my young adulthood!

One of the best things about this park is that there is always a person in your group who doesn't wish to ride the rides, but is your designated purse, bag, or baseball hat holder.  This amusement park is good for everyone, even Grandma with her walker!  There is no admission  into the amusement park; each ride is paid for as you board with old-fashioned tickets that you purchase.  I especially like the way that this family-owned park keeps it's traditional role among all amusement parks.  The tradition is simple..."family fun for everyone!"
