JuliezenSeptember 6, 2017Elitch's is a fun affordable place to spend the day in Denver riding rides or at the water park. They offer a lot of what the big parks offer, like cute shops, thrill rides with pictures, water rides- SherryAugust 15, 2017A really exciting amusement park! Very clean and family friendly! Something to do for everyone! The tides appear to be well kept! I enjoyed the Ferris Wheel! My wife went on the slingshot!
- Serj LAugust 28, 2016When you go to mind eraser make sure to keep your head straight! The ride is a bit rough but it's fun! Twister is also a good ride but make sure to hold on it!
TerryJuly 24, 2017I am a amusement and theme park enthusiast and I came here looking forward to visiting this park. Of their coaster lineup, one is very rare, and that is the one that is called Sidewinder.- Ken SellersMay 1, 2017Do ride Mind Eraser. Don't ride Ghost Blaster. Do go on an off day. Don't forget sunscreen. Do consider a season pass. Don't expect ride names on the official map. Do expect to fend off barkers.
- TrudyAugust 23, 2017I went to visit my good friend from school who lives there and he took me to this park; it was so fun, I had very good memories and I hope to come back some day
- David RossJanuary 21, 2015The Twister 2 is by far the coolest ride! My favorite was the mind eraser. The park was pretty lively and crowded at some times of the day and especially around lunch.
- ShanaAugust 29, 2017Very amazing rides and water park!!! Lines are a little bit long but it's all worth the experience. I'll definitely be going back for more fun!!!
Franco CalizSeptember 23, 2015Really great fireworks show (Labor day fireworks are,a great surprise.) Enjoy the water park during summer. Cool rides as well but the lockers are expensive.- ColleenJuly 12, 2017My family had a wonderful time at Elitch Garden. There was so much to do for the money. Usually amusement parks this size cost 60 dollars and up, however, Elitches was 39.99.
- Jenfuji59July 18, 2017This was a fun park, both water and amusement. Plenty of shade, variety of food and drink, and shops. Family had a great time!!
Jason FellonJune 23, 2015Usually have a great experience here. We usually rent a cabana near the wave pool. This time the service was terrible(after 90 mins I had to get our server to order). So much more...- GenevieveSeptember 12, 2017I HIGHLY recommend that you get the Fast Pass which is a wrist band that allows you to go to the front of the line on most of the "thrill" rides.
George WebbAugust 22, 2010A great way to spend a summer day with your family and friends. the park is seperated into two different parts the water park wich has both an teenager and adult pool that has waves and a pirate theme
- StellaAugust 1, 2017It's a good place to go if you're looking for something to do for the day. The rides are minimal and only really 3 "major" roller coasters.
Dave AmiraultJune 10, 2012If you don't buy the VIP pass you are doing yourself an injustice. It lets you breeze to the front of all of the rides, no waiting for you! Warning, people you are ahead of will hate on you, hard.
Maria NelsonJuly 12, 2017If you're there all day it's definitely worth getting the fast pass to skip the lines
Greg VeilleuxJuly 19, 2016Disclaimer.... I grew up in Florida and went to the theme parks there 3 or 4 times a year. With that said, Elitch Gardens is cheesy and boring. No people moving skills so everything takes forever.
Vitamin YiAugust 12, 2014Definitely consider getting the VIP fast pass, or else you will spend 90% of your time waiting in lines.
Hampton Inn Denver-International AirportAugust 5, 2013Go to ride at Elitches; the Mind Eraser. Great place for rides and attractions and special events. Read more
DentonJune 28, 2012I suggest you get a second mortgage before you visit. Everything is $$$$. Oh, and if you rent a wheelchair u need to get a waiver to ride the rides
Danielle TakahashiAugust 16, 2013Kind of expensive unless you take advantage of the water park too. They should have a separate cheaper ticket if you only want to do the amusement park and not the water park. The park itself is fun.- Thomas YiJune 29, 2013Riding the mind eraser is a must do and visit the water park early to get almost no lines
Mike GarciaAugust 18, 2013This is stupid. We got here at 10:00am for a reason. We wanted to get on as many rides as possible before the park got busy. They are repeating the Mind Eraser. They should do this shit before.
Bill FlinchbaughSeptember 17, 2021Visited for the 2021 Denver Auto Show. Would have been cool if it had been in the park. The show was in a parking lot. Very disappointing.
Tommy MoonSeptember 19, 2010Take the family and have fun. Lots of rides and events throughout the season to enjoy. A bit pricey though.- Eric GuttormsonJuly 18, 2010I love the old wooden coasters. You should ride Mister Twister at Elitch Garden because it is a great wooden coaster. Read more
Buy a Season Pass! Pays for itself with 2 visits and you get a theme & water park ALL season!
Don't forget to checkout the water park this year! Opening May 28th. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUR CABANA'S YOU CAN MAKE RESERVATIONS ONLINE.
- Dave AmiraultJune 10, 2012Please try and be a polite and kind person, the park is full of rude and pushy people that really being the experience down.
- Opening day is May 5, 2012! Get a season pass and enjoy the theme park & water park all season!
Make sure to check out RockNation: Don't Stop Believing at the Trocadero every day at 2, 5 and 7 PM!
Karlien De CockJuly 26, 2013Half-Pipe was closed today, there was a minor thunderstorm in the afternoon, a lot of people left, so they closed the park early at 5. Staff was not friendly. Not a very customer-friendly park.
Joe MacJune 27, 2012The security staff has a bad apple who is on a monster power trip. Watch out for a female security guard who seemingly just wants to demonstrate authority with no concern for actually HELPING guests.
Social Business Solutions Group LLCAugust 3, 2011If your the queezy type, bring a brown bag. Have fun

"Amazing ride! Seems much scarier than the side-wonder but the turns are much more natural and smoother. Great ride for all ages!"
