Knoebels Announces September and October Events



Though Labor Day will mark the end of daily operation at Knoebels, there’s plenty of fun in store at Knoebels in September and October. 

Knoebels has announced its fall events, including September Weekends, Doggie Dive, Knoebel Lumber 5K, and Hallo-Fun.

Knoebels is open weekends in September with ride passes available. Saturday hours are noon-8PM and Sunday hours are noon-7PM. On September 21, there will be a “Buy One Today, Get One Next May” promotion, providing guests who purchase a ride pass that day with a free ride pass to use on select dates in May 2025.

One September event tends to draw lots of four-legged visitors, and for good reason. September 8 is the 11th Annual Doggie Dive at Crystal Pool from 11AM-3PM. In addition to pups being able to paddle around the pool, guests can take part in raffles, visit with rescue organizations and check out vendor booths. All proceeds are donated to local rescues.

Another upcoming fundraiser is the 31th annual Knoebel Lumber 5K on October 5. All proceeds benefit Ralpho Township Public Library. Registration is at Pavilion L at 8AM and the race begins at 9AM. An official race t-shirt is provided to those who register early, and prizes are awarded to top finishers.

Once again, there will be four weekends of Hallo-Fun, Knoebels’ Halloween event. This year, guests can visit on October 4-6, 11-13, 18-20, and 25-27 with park hours on Fridays from 6-10PM, Saturdays from 2-10PM and Sundays from noon-5PM. Ride passes or individual ride tickets are available. During Hallo-Fun, Knoebels transforms into a festive environment for the whole family. The entire park features fall décor, and seasonal menu items are debuted. Some rides even take on a whole new life with a Halloween theme, including the Pioneer Train and Haunted Antique Cars.

“We are looking forward to another exiting year for Hallo-Fun,” said Jon Slodysko, Knoebels’ Rides Operations Manager and lead for the Hallo-Fun event. “This year, we will once again expand our offering of thrills and chills to enhance this event that the entire family can enjoy. In 2024, we will offer more rides, more seasonal foods, and more activities to complement our already extensive fall and Halloween décor, creating the ultimate Hallo-Fun experience!”
