Elitch gardens Review

We have gone atleast 20 times this summer! It has always been a great time except one incident we seen in the water park. That wasn't handled well at all. Would also be nice since they have handled the kids roaming freely in the park without adults, they figure something out where there are only 3 kids to one adult. It is ridiculous with there being 6+ kids to one adult and them losing little children in the water park. The staff does a great job when they notice the children alone though!

If you are going to be wearing a weave and or wig, make sure it is secure. Photo below of someones wig that fell off on the Twister Roller Coaster!

The food is amazing and I highly recommend the meal plans with your season pass. Well worth the price. Meals are $10+ and you get a lot for your money. My favorite is the cheese and bacon fries, ask them to layer it though! Fries, cheese, bacon and more fries then more cheese and bacon on top! Otherwise you will only have cheese and bacon on the top!

Also I love the BBQ place inside the food court! I recommend the pulled pork! We get the two sides of meat and a side and it feeds 2-3 kids! Sometimes you can ask for an extra bun too to make two sandwiches! The picture I have posted is one sandwich and side. Two my kids shared this meal.

Sometimes when I go and we know we are getting dip and dots, or snow cones I bring my own Red Solo Cups empty and will put half and half in each cup so my younger kids can share! They honestly never can finish one.

Bring your own wetwipes as well! You will notice yourself using them a lot even if you have younger kids

We had a really good time here. It wasn't too crowded, lines weren't too long/long wait, the rides were fun. We ate at one of the restaurants-a little pricey- and had surprisingly decent food. The park is kept pretty clean and reasonably free of critters. Although it doesn't compare with Worlds of Fun from my childhood, this is a nicer park than the flags. Plus, the games aren't over priced so you can have some downtime fun there as well.

My kids absolutely love this place. We bought season passes and go a couple times a week. My 5 year old is tall enough to ride most of the adult rides, which is nice because she's a thrill seeker. My other kid is perfectly content riding all of the kiddie rides. We usually go later in the afternoon/ evening and there's never long lines by that time. It truly is a fun time for the whole family. It's even better now that they've put restrictions on unsupervised teenagers. No more worrying about my kids getting stampeded by a mob of rowdy teenagers running towards a fight!

Very fun amusement park. The rides were a bit on the adventurous side for me, however, my 17 yr old son had a blast. Definitely consider wearing a swimmer as there is plenty of water to help cool off.

We loved all the rides. Very grateful we were able to get the rapid ride passes. It made the experience smooth and enjoyable.

Small park but enough big rides and a good scattering of smaller ones to make for a very fun day. Food was pretty good and much better priced than expected. Love the rickety twister 2 roller coaster.

I tried to book beach side cabanas for 4 online but it wouldn't let me. So, I read fine print it said for four people, no extra allowed. Perfect! When I got here, staff said it was only 2 lounges for 2 people only. The other 2 had to stay out of the area, cannot come in. Fine, b/c we would walk around anyway. When we came back, we saw a family of 5 at "a" cabana with 2 lounges, next to the entrance where staffs were. So, I asked how I could bring my kids in as well. Do I have to pay extra? Staffs who stood next to that family said they "didn t notice" there were 5 people next to them. I ended up had to pay for another cabana while the other family of 5 didn't have to. Picture attached. Do you see how many shoes were there, more than 2 pairs! We were treated "differently", why? I thought it was a family friendly place. Not a happy place to come anymore.

Went for the first time of the summer in early June, and nearly half of the rides were closed/not operating, which was disappointing. Food prices are very high and not good, so next time we'll pack a lunch to leave in the car. (You can re-enter with a hand stamp.) The kiddos still had fun and we stayed a few hours. The season pass office was slammed, but employees were still friendly and helpful.

So cute and close to downtown! The price was reasonable, the park was nice and we had a great time!

Lines were fast and rides were fun! Kids enjoyed! Pool area crowded and only one water ride working in park but had fun!
