Discover a Pennsylvania Classic
Knoebels has been a beloved destination for generations, known for its mix of thrilling coasters and classic carnival atmosphere. Unlike many modern parks, free admission means the focus stays on rides, games, and shared experiences rather than a high entry cost barrier. Moreover, the parkβs Halloween themed programming adds seasonal energy without turning the day into an intense haunt event, ideal for a broad range of students.
Whether you prefer high speed coasters or lighter attractions, Knoebels offers plenty of ways to enjoy the day at your own pace.
Whatβs Included
Rosemont is helping make the trip easy and affordable. Participating students will be provided with:
- Ride tickets for park attractions
- A meal voucher for food during the visit
This support allows students to focus on fun and community rather than covering every expense out of pocket. Additional purchases beyond the included voucher remain optional and at each studentβs discretion.
