Elitch Gardens

Elitch Gardens is a delightful combination of an amusement park and a water park, located in the heart of Denver, Colorado. Established in 1890, it was initially a botanical garden, transitioning into a theme park in the early 20th century, offering one-of-a-kind experiences to families and thrill-seekers alike. This iconic Denver attraction originally resided at the renowned Elitch Theatre, hosting luminaries such as Sarah Bernhardt, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and Grace Kelly. In 1994, the park moved to its current location in downtown Denver, where it continues to attract visitors from around the world.

Visiting Elitch Gardens offers a diverse range of exciting activities for tourists, with over 50 thrilling rides, entertaining shows, and refreshing water attractions. One cannot miss the historic legacy of the park, home to the oldest wooden roller coaster still in operation—the Twister II. Family-friendly attractions, such as the colorful carousel that dates back to 1928, coalesce with high-octane rides, such as the Boomerang, a thrilling roller coaster that loops through the air at incredible speeds. Offering activities for all ages, Elitch Gardens provides a memorable experience for anyone looking to explore the vibrant spirit of Denver.
