Elitch Gardens theme park and Island Kingdom water park has been a gathering place for Colorado’s families and children and the entertainment hub of the community for 120 years. It was home to the first zoo, first theater, first movie house, first symphony orchestra and continues to be the oldest continually operating theme park west of the Mississippi. While much has changed over the years, the one thing that hasn’t changed is Elitch’s commitment to providing treasured memories for families. To celebrate Elitch’s 120th anniversary, we will host a season-long schedule of events to honor the people of the greater Denver region. www.elitchgardens.com
We had so much fun when we went to Elitch Gardens a few weeks ago. The kids had a blast riding all the rides, playing games and of course visiting the gift shops. When my kids heard that they could meet Spongebob and Dora, they were super excited and are now begging me to go back!

The winner is #1 – Tracee!!! Have fun!
Oh, fun!!! We have never been to Elitches, would love to go:)
I’d love to take the family to the water park and ride some bumper cars!
I wanna try the Half Pipe or the Boomerang
I have to try the half pipe! It looks so fun, and I don’t get to go ride rides very often. My three year old son just loves Dora and Spongebob so this would be a good chance for my family to spend a day at the amusement park.
My son just looked at the picture and loved the pirate ship in the water park.
We are new to the area and have never been to Elitch’s. I would definitely love to try the Mind Eraser, though. The crazier the better for me. My two year old daughter has never been on anything other than a merry-go-round so I would love to see her experience something like the Ferris Wheel–seeing her face on that ride would be a thrill.
I would love to try the water park!
Would love to conquer Sling Shot… my son loves rides so I’d love to take him on anything he is big enough for.
Okay, we’ve never been to the water park part of Elitch’s and would love to try that. Also, if I could sneak away, I’d really like to try that half-pipe ride (don’t think my kids are tall enough for it, yet!)
We’ve never been, so we’d try it all, but for sure the water rides!
We have never been to the water park, so we would definitely do that.
We’ve never been to elitches, but we live less than 5 minutes away now! Christian Ooooh’s and Ahhh’s for the ferris wheel. He says it “beeeyoouuuutiful mommy!”. So we’d definitely try that one 1st!
Ohhhh…that Halfpipe ride looks fun! If I win….I can only go on Sunday. (in case the tix are specific to one day).
Who am I kidding, I never win. LOL
