Alot of companies opt to have their yearly company picnic there so that employees at the company can invite their family and friends for a day of fun and they have each family bring food and then picnic at the Parks picnic tables which saves on spending alot of money on food.

I've gone there every year for the past 36 years and I can never get enough of it. There is a ride there that is my favorite ride called the Pirate ship which actually looks like a Pirate ship and it swings you back and fourth going higher and higher each time until you feel like your stomach is about to coming through your mouth, I would not suggest eating before going on this ride you will definitely lose your lunch. There is an Arcade in the middle of the Park that has fun games where you can win tickets and prizes. The outdoor Arena is great to see plays and sit and relax when you get tired they have benches there that seat over 200 people which is great for when you've walked too much and need to get a second wind and at the same time enjoy some Entertainment too. They have a water rides there called the Sklooosh and a pool for swimming when the heat get to be too much and if you don't want to go swimming then they have a platform you can stand on and get wet when the ride come by the platform.

It has a down home feel because it' nestled in the mountains in a remote area if you don't pay attention you could get lost but everyone around that area knows where is it located to I'm sure you will get there with ease. Everyone should experience Knoebles Grove Amusement Park one in the life or even make it an once a year experience with the family you will not believe the fun the entire family will experience.
