Elitch Gardens

I will start off by saying my son and his friend had a great time, granted they are both 8. Seems like the past reviews are accurate. A lot of rides are just shut down. Food selection is not very good but decent I guess. I would say the fair has better overall options though. When we arrived at noon it was bad. As the day went on it seemed to get a little more lively. I read the past reviews and the most disappointing thing is that it seems the “owner” just copy and pastes his reply to any and all negative reviews saying he would pass it on to the management. Bro you are the owner, why don’t you do something about it. It is kind of sad because I feel like it has true potential with know one really wanting to improve it. The wooden roller coaster really needs to be inspected! You can see it move and shake more than it should. There are nuts, bolts, and washers everywhere! Try caring about your park just a little more. Cleaning and upkeep would make a world of difference. Overall not terrible but not great.

We had a wonderful time. Pricey, some rides not working. Great customer service - all the folks were pleasant, cheerful towards our large group of kiddos and the little kids area was a huge hit.

We enjoyed Elitches this season. For the most part we had good experiences. I definitely think the season pass is the way to go. You will save a lot of money on parking on top of being able to bring friends, plus you get a discount on nearly everything in the park. Fright Fest and Luminova were a lot of fun. It's cool to be able to see the park transform. The food and drinks are really expensive and not the best. The pizza place near the entrance is usually less busy and a little quieter than the main food court. I would recommend bringing your own water bottle to refill. There's a water fountain outside the bathrooms by the main entrance. If you have never been and are on the fence, I think it is a memorable experience and a good way to spend time with family and friends.

We are visiting as a sister park attendee from Washington. Remember if you have a season pass, you can travel to a sister park too free. I liked the park overall. It felt like a mini Six Flags. If I came here often, the souvenir beer glass would be a steal. Food wasn't too badly priced especially if you share chicken tenders. The rides were pretty fun and had plenty of nostalgia for rides in my past. Water park also had some fun parts. Most employees were friendly except for our friend in the picture who scolded us for using the "fast lane" even though nobody was in line at the Kaleidoscope. He even hit the bar at my knee because he was being negligent. Overall, solid day with most of the rides open. Lightning was the worst part.

I have been there with my children and I was there for Chicken Fight with my adult daughter. The 21 + event was a lot of fun in that state fair/Carnival like atmosphere without underage people there. Be prepared to go cashless as they take card only transactions. It makes sense given their proximity to downtown Denver that the rumor is they're going to be moving that whole operation soon so get and and enjoy it before it's gone.
