KNIGHT'S ACTION PARK IN SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS
A LEGACY OF FAMILY FUN
Brothers Doug and George Knight invite you to experience the third generation of Knight family traditions at Knight's Action Park & Splash Kingdom, where family fun meets a safe and welcoming atmosphere across 60 acres of thrilling water and amusement park excitement.
​
Since its beginnings as a golf driving range in 1930, founded by golf pro George Knight Sr., Knight's Action Park has been Springfield’s top destination for entertainment, excitement, and refreshing summer fun. For over 94 years, we've been a cherished part of the Springfield community.
​
Today, Illinois's favorite family fun park boasts an impressive array of attractions, including 16 water slides, batting cages, a fifty-tee driving range, Camille's Reef spray ground, the classic Big Wheel, a giant wave pool, and much more. But that's not all—don’t miss the Route 66 Twin Drive-In for a nostalgic movie experience under the stars. Knight's Action Park & Splash Kingdom is truly “where the action is” in Central Illinois.
