Elitch Gardens is a pretty good amusement park for the money. There are a few rollercoasters - one of which is very novel being that you are strapped in on a giant "skateboard" and go up and down a half-pipe. It doesn't sound nearly as fun as it truly is. The waterpark side of Elitch's is not as good as... more

Before arriving in denver for our family vacation,we decided to go to elitch gardens. I read several reviews online-including several from this website-and i was surprised to see how negative everyone was about the park.I didn't believe them and just figured that these were just people who had a bad experience. But they were exactly right. We had gotten tickets... more

My boyfriend and I went to Elitch Gardens on a Friday in late July. We live in Boulder and were looking for a place with water-slides and rides to spend our day off. We got a BOGO ticket from coloradokids.com, so we only paid admission for one adult ($39.99). Parking is $10. We arrived soon after the park opened and... more

We went down for the 4th of July weekend. Surprisingly, the lines were quite short due to the weather. We went on a Sunday because their website offered half-priced tickets for Sunday; that is only an online deal. Other than peeling paint and a couple closed rides, the kids had fun. Here's a brief run-down on some of my favorite... more

Be aware! If you visited in past years it is not what it used to be. There is a great deal of price difference depending on what kind of deal you can find. They must be hurting so much that they have lowered the amount to upgrade to a seaon pass so where does that leave those who bought before??... more

I was there on a beautiful Saturday in late June 2009. The weather was perfect and the park was full of people. Not a cloud in the sky and about 82 degrees. This has to be one of their busiest days of the year. SO...tell me why were 1/3 of the rides not operating? Are they broken? Do they not... more

Elitches has some fairly modern and intense rides (Mind Eraser, Boomarang, Half Pipe, Tower of Doom, ect..) as well as a liberal selection of good flat rides. They have a decent sized water park with several large slides and a lazy river. Admission covers both all day. Food is mostly brand name stuff (Subway, Panda Express ect)...park food is on... more

We just spent the day at Elitch Gardens. We found it to be a great value. You can get tickets for $25 at King Soopers. This covers admission both for the carnival rides and the water park for an entire day. We went on a Sunday in early June and we were able to walk on nearly every major ride... more

I'd rather go to lakeside...wait, well maybe not! elitchs is going down hill since it is no longer a sixflags. it was already generic for a sixflags, but now it is even worse. all of the theme decorations have been removed giving it a bland ambiance. the water park is fun and a couple of rides are fun. the food... more
