    I love Knoebels' programmatic buildings; the loaf, the lemon, the potato, the coffee pot, and my personal fave the giant Birthday cake pavilion.

    I’ve been to Knoebels a few times. My Uncle lives in Sunbury PA, so I used to go visit them and we would go to Knoebels. It’s a completely free park to get into, but the rides cost money. It’s a fun place to go to get out and make some memories.

    Brilliant tour of an old time American amusement park. It's great to see what was around before the likes of Disney and the other big theme parks took over. People and even their kids still enjoy the charm of the old attractions and why not? The museums and displays of ride on animals was fun. Thanks for showing us around.

    Ugh potato pancakes are so amazing! Less enjoyable when you are making them at a bazaar in 90 something degree weather.🤣 Another great video at one of the best parks around!
    P.s. next time you play skeeball, you want to roll the balls.

    I live near this park and it is just the best. It’s so old school and vintage. Many fond memories of childhood and heck, adulthood. I instantly turn into a 12 year old when I enter those gates. Racing to the pirate ship to try and get a back seat, running to get one of the outside horses on the carousel to grab rings and hopefully get the brass one, eating way too much ice cream and French fries. Going into the mining museum and begging my mom to let me get a bag of gems to “pan” in the steam outside. Just so fun! Don’t miss making a pressed “lucky charm” coin with your initials in the arcade. The homemade fudge is fantastic. The carousel museum is super fun as well. The park itself has no admission which is awesome, you just buy books of tickets. Don’t miss the “Shooting Gallery” (or as it should be called “The Hillbilly Shoot ‘Em Up”) The Phoenix wooden rollercoaster was the first rollercoaster I ever got to ride and it’s still a favorite. Wooden coasters are the best. I am absolutely passionate about this amusement park. I’ve been to so many others. Hershey, Six Flags (3 of them), Disneyworld, universal, cedar point. Knoebel’s will forever be my favorite. Also…those bears from the Country Bear Jubilee was sort of falling apart when I was a kid. It would lock up and the eyes would go all crazy. It gave me nightmares. But my mom thought it was so fun so we would go every time. I’m so glad they’re locked up in the museum and can’t hurt anyone. They’re truly horrific. Also, if you have family members who worked in the coal mines they have giant books of mining accidents and names of miners. It’s interesting to look through them and see if your family is listed.

    Those bumper cars are the best b/c they were built in the 40s and are made of steel and not fiberglass like today. They also have a different type of bumper system on the cars, it's more solid and not pneumatic. Also the Whip ride was very popular from the 20s to the 60s and is kinda rare to see one still operating, I wish that you'd explain some of the details sometimes...

    Since you love non-horse carousel stuff, next time you are in western Ohio check out Carillon Historical Park in Dayton which is home to a carousel featuring not only horses and a dog but also Dayton products such as a bag of chips, a soda can, steam locomotives, airplanes, a cash register, motorcycle, etc....the park itself is also quite interesting, as it is home to a number of interesting historical buildings, a working 18th century style brewery, the oldest US-built steam locomotive and a real Wright Flyer....
