Our library had a summer program that provided Elitch gardens tickets to the kids as a prize for reading. Adults still had to pay $30. For the reduced price, this was a very reasonable investment! The kids loved the place. Plenty of entertainment for kids and adults all ages. Most rides are included in the entrance price, although a selected few are not. The lines are unavoidable but they weren't too bad, especially on the Kiddieland rides for the younger ones. Water fountains are rare but available. Food is lacking: overpriced a great deal and no healthy options. Own food not allowed although they let up bring a few snack bars in. For the full price of $60 per person, probably not worth it. Try booking online for a better price. Parking is $20 but there are street parking options very nearby for $1/hr. Very little shade, prepare for a very hot day even in September, bring lots of water.
