The holiday season is about to get brighter as Knoebels Amusement Resort kicks off the fifth annual Joy Through the Grove this week.
This drive-through Christmas light extravaganza runs nightly from November 29 through December 31, with closures on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Kozmo Klaus and his team of elves are busy putting the finishing touches on this year’s two-mile journey, which winds through the park’s enchanting landscape. Guests can expect dazzling twinkling lights, hundreds of illuminated displays, and special Knoebels-themed scenes featuring beloved park rides and characters.
“This year, we’ve focused a lot of attention on expanding the light displays on the main boulevard, which kicks off the experience,” shared Jon Slodysko, Joy Through the Grove project lead. “We’ve also expanded features we know our guests love to create even more awe-inspiring moments.”
Ticket and Treat Details
Admission for standard passenger vehicles is $20 from Monday through Thursday and $25 on Fridays through Sundays. Visitors can enter through the main parking lot, where they’ll also find souvenirs and tasty treats such as fudge, cotton candy, and kettle corn for the ride.
