Why do we love them so much??? It is a parent's paradise! With good traffic, it takes us about an hour and 45 minutes or so to drive north to Elysburg. There, nestled in the trees, is a wonderful old, yet up to date family park. The parking is free and so is the park admission! We go during the week so we can buy all-day ride wrist bands for the kids. Then if you need to go on a ride with the kids, rides are like 80 cents, et cetera, using a ticket system.
Food in the park is very reasonable! You can get a hot dog for 1.75, or a BBQ pork sandwich for 3.00... not to mention it is very delicious. They keep the place incredibly clean and tidy.. even the bathrooms...and everyone there is very friendly. Even when the parking lot is full, the place does not feel crowded at all. Kids wait for rides for maybe one turn at the most. They have plenty of rides for little ones and big kids.
So this time we did something different. We camped! Okay...but not like real camping with tents and stuff... we rented a cabin!
This is how sad and pampered we are though... the bathrooms were a little far, so we would drive back and forth between the showers/bathrooms and our cabin! How spoiled! The kids were excited when they walked in, but David said, "How are we going to watch TV?" We need to spend more time with nature, I guess!
We arrived Thursday night and left Saturday around noon. Our plan was to stay Saturday and play all day in the huge pool and water area, but it was still closed for post-flood clean up. If you hadn't heard, while we were in California, we got hit with lots of rain. Knoebels sits right on some big creeks, so it is used to flooding. They have the whole clean-up process down to a science. But alas the pool was closed, so we came home early.
Here are a couple more pictures.
We'll probably be up there again one more time this summer to enjoy the pool. We'll see. We still haven't really been to Sesame Place this season...got to get moving!
