Elitch Gardens Theme ParkNot to see Elitch's is not to see Denver. Elitch Garden's is a large and diverse amusement park, offering rides and entertainment for all ages. It has deep roots in Denver, and is considered by most to be the best amusement park in Colorado. It offers great family deals and season passes, and is very affordable. However, bring your own food as the food in the park is quite expensive
