About Knight's Action Park
A water park, amusement rides, and a Route 66 drive-in that grew from a 1930s driving range.
What began as a modest driving range in 1930 has grown into a full Springfield entertainment complex. Water rides, amusement rides, and golf all share the grounds.
What you'll see and do - Cool off at Splash Kingdom Water Park, with water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and kiddie pools. - Ride classics like The Big Wheel and The Paratrooper at the amusement park. - Play 18-hole mini golf, hit the batting cages, and race go-karts. - Practice at the 50-tee driving range, then catch a film at the on-site Route 66 Drive-In Theater.
