This place was overpriced! With a coupon a family of 3 got in for just under 50 bucks, so not bad. It's everthing else after that. I wonder if they sell beer? 7 bucks for a glass! Am I on a cruise ship? Water almost 4 bucks. 12 dollars to rent a locker to put your stuff in to go to the pool. $7.00 for an inner tube. Some side amusements cost extra for the kids to do like climb across a rope ladder for 2 bucks. And then you can upgrade your admission for 14.99 to a VIP and $15.00 to park. The ferris wheel was only filled to half capacity each time with a full line of people waiting (That's only 10 of the 20 cages filled each time) I should have gone to Pirates Cove instead.

Elitche leaders:
How could you let a Denver Icon fall into such disrepair.
What would the original family say if they saw it today? 120 year heritage and this is what you've added on your watch:
Burnt out light bulbs in the all the rides... Gaffitti throughout the park... Rides not even lit up at night (Trying to save money?) Rides that break down regularly. Rides that are not working and abandoned with fences built around them (so no one will see?)... Vendors that look at you with a frown and an indifferent attitude and ask "who's next." wow... what a disappointment. Are we milking the business and don't care about quality, Elitches leaders?
How about making the Park world class again
There is so much potential for increase revenue and profits if you invest a little to fix this run down park. Don't you (leaders of Elitches) have a responsibility to the 120 year heritage and reputation of this Denver institution?
Shame, shame!

I hate to trash a place I thought was magical when I was a lot younger, but now that I'm a parent I'm saddened about what Elitch Gardens has become. With ticket prices over $40 a head, $12 for parking and food prices that almost had me leaving the park to find a restaurant, my husband and I decided we could have done so much more with the nearly $200 we ended up spending between tickets, food, parking and a wagon we rented. We could have spent the day in Estes Park and spent the night in a very nice hotel for the price we paid at what's turned into a second-rate amusement park.
