Lakeside Amusement Park

I love the vintage rides. We don't get carnivals in Denver like we had growing up in the Midwest and this is as close as I've found. We that the kids at least once every summer and always have a great time. Bring cash if you want snacks or drinks.

My best advice is to come to Lakeside expecting an old, run down yet charming amusement park. I felt like I time traveled. I read reviews so I had low expectations, but in reality Lakeside far exceeded those. It's an amusement park experience from yesteryear. My kids absolutely loved Kiddieland, as they have about a dozen rides for young children. We got a whole pizza for dinner which was actually very tasty, but order it with light cheese. Many rides were broken, some in pieces, yet it was a fascinating trip to a different time of amusement parks. I'll bring my kids back for sure.

This place is hanging on by a thread and poor loyal customers. It's a good thing they allow outside food because the concession foods are limited. However, the food is dirt cheap, entry is $5, parking is free, and the scenic train still works. As for the rides, some work, some don't, and some should be placed OOS. This place reminds me of South of the Boarder in South Carolina. A shell of a time long past.

Lakeside hasn't changed much since the good old days when rides creaked and admission didnt cost as much as a trip to Eurpoe. I hope it never does. Rides are fun, lines aren't usually too long, and the atmosphere at night is like stepping into the past. Sadly the Cyclone has been closed for at least a summer, but there are plenty of other attractions. Don't skip the Wyld Chipmunk!

Came here before season closing. This place reminded me of Indiana Beach so much, so being able to experience a little time capsule, was comforting. Food prices were amazing, rides were as expected, staff was friendly. Definitely coming back next season.
