When you’re looking to enjoy some hair-raising fun, head to a local amusement park. You are sure to get your heart pumping as you reach new heights on Denver’s best roller coasters or make your way down the thrill slides. The amusement parks near our Lone Tree apartments include:
Lakeside Amusement Park
At Lakeside, you will find the largest amusement park in the Rocky Mountain region. It opened with a crowd of 50,000 on May 30, 1908. The park has only changed ownership twice, and today, many of the classic rides remain. Enjoy the Cyclone roller coaster, a thrilling 140-foot tower drop, and more. The park also offers fun games and tasty food.
Elitch Gardens
Home to Colorado’s only theme and water park combination, Elitch Gardens offers exciting roller coasters, lazy rivers, and other attractions to keep you entertained. It has been a local favorite since 1890. The park featured one of the first zoos west of Chicago and was the site of Denver’s first motion picture theater. Don’t miss riding Twister II. This wooden coaster boasts a 10-story superstructure with a 90-foot drop and a pitch-black tunnel. Elitch Gardens opens for the season on April 30th.
