A huge congratulations to Knoebels Amusement Resort for being honored this week in the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg!
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives adopted House Resolution 448, designating July 4, 2026, as βKnoebels Amusement Resort Dayβ in honor of the parkβs 100th anniversary.
For a century, Knoebels Amusement Resort has been more than an amusement park. It began as a simple swimming hole and picnic grove, then officially opened on July 4, 1926 with the Crystal Pool.
Since then, it has grown into Americaβs largest free-admission amusement park, known for its classic rides, wooden coasters, great food, and the kind of memories only a family-run park can create.
Knoebels is celebrating its 100th anniversary all season long in 2026. The official 100th Anniversary Celebration Weekend is set for July 3β5, featuring commemorative ceremonies, a parade, and special entertainment. Itβs a fitting tribute to a place that has brought joy to generations and continues to be a treasured destination thanks to its dedicated staff, loyal visitors, and supportive community.
