About Elitch Gardens

Elitch Gardens is a theme and water park in downtown Denver. Elitch Gardens first opened in 1890 at another Denver site, and the park moved to this property in 1995. You will find six roller coasters, including Twister III and Mind Eraser, plus the 210-foot Tower of Doom drop ride. Island Kingdom is a 20-acre family water park inside the grounds, with a wave pool, a lazy river and a large family raft ride.
