Everyone’s favorite free amusement park is delaying when it will open this year once again.

Knoebels Amusement Resort had previously pushed back the opening of their summer season to May 9, due to the spread of the coronavirus.

But their latest announcement has pushed back the start date of the 2020 season even further - and the exact date has yet to be determined.

“For the health and safety of our team and community, we are closely following federal and state guidelines to mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” reads a statement from the Knoebels staff. “With this being the case, our off-season projects are on hold and will need to be completed once our team returns to work. Since much uncertainty exists as to when this will be possible, we have decided our most responsible route is to delay the start of our 2020 season until further notice.”

The statement goes on to state that the staff is “managing the situation one week at a time, and with teh goal of providing the best experience possible for our valued guests.”

At the moment, reservations for the Knoebels campgrounds and pavilions are still being accepted for June 1 through November 1, with the disclaimer that “reservations can be modified based on our actual park opening date.”

While the amusement park will not be opening as initially scheduled, the staff is still available to respond to questions by phone at 800-487-4386 or through email at contact@knoebels.com, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Sister companies Knoebel Lumber remains open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-5 p.m., and Nickle Plate Bar & Grill remains open for take-out orders only from 4-8 p.m. daily. Those looking for work can apply for positions through Knoebels at the company’s job page on their website.

“We thank everyone for their understanding as we do our best to navigate this unprecedented situation,” the press release concludes. “Please stay healthy and happy.”
