    Elitch'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

    A 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!

    When 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!

    I 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.

    Do 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.

    I 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

    The 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.

    Really 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.

    My 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.

    Usually 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...

    I 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.

    A 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

    Did you know? The ancestors of roller coasters were steep wooden¬ slides covered in ice and popular in Russia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Riders slid down in sleds and crash-landed in sand piles. Read more

    It'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.

    If 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.

    If you're there all day it's definitely worth getting the fast pass to skip the lines

    Disclaimer.... 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.

    Definitely consider getting the VIP fast pass, or else you will spend 90% of your time waiting in lines.

    I 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

    Kind 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.

    This 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.

    Visited 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.

    Half-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.

    The 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.
