Things to do in Denver

Elitch Gardens Theme Park(Opens in a new window)

Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park, colloquially known as Elitch's (formerly known as Elitch Zoological Gardens, first and second incarnation of Elitch Gardens, Elitch Gardens - The Great Escape and Six Flags Elitch Gardens), is an amusement park in Denver, Colorado. It is owned by KSE Radio Ventures, LLC and operated by Premier Parks, LLC. Distinctive for being located in a downtown area, it is open April through October.

Elitch Gardens(Opens in a new window)

Elitch Gardens was a family-owned seasonal amusement park, theater, and botanic garden in the West Highland neighborhood in northwest Denver, Colorado, United States, at 38th Avenue and Tennyson Street. For more than a century Elitch's was one of the most popular entertainment destinations in Colorado. It was nationally known for its luscious gardens, the Elitch Theatre, the Trocadero Ballroom, and the premier wooden roller coaster, Mister Twister. The park moved to downtown Denver in 1994 and later in November 1998 became Six Flags Elitch Gardens (now simply Elitch Gardens once again). The former location has been redeveloped.

The River Mile(Opens in a new window)

The River Mile is a planned 62 acre master-planned, mixed-use community in Denver, Colorado. The site is currently home to Elitch Gardens Theme Park, an amusement park and water park dating back to its current location in 1995. The development gets its name from the adjacent South Platte River, of which the development runs about 1 mi along the river. The project largely follows a New Urbanist design, emphasizing the "human-scale" development over auto-centric development. The project would be complimented by more mixed-use redevelopments occurring around the Ball Arena, Mile High Stadium, and Auraria Campus, all of which emphasize similar goals as The River Mile.

Lakeside Amusement Park(Opens in a new window)

Lakeside Amusement Park is a family-owned amusement park in Lakeside, Colorado, adjacent to Denver. Opened in 1908, it is the oldest amusement park in Colorado still operating in its original location, and is the lone remaining American amusement park to have had the name White City.
