The locker fee is outragious and you're told you get 1/2 the cost back, but then it's in Elitch bucks which you have to spend at Elitch gardens, and when you spend those bucks no change is given back to purchaser! Give me a break! You charge an arm and a leg for entry, food, drinks, and you have to rip people off with the locker scam! WE WON'T BE BACK !!!!! and we tell all our friends about it!

I live in Denver and i find that going to elitch gardens is very fun when you go with your friends. We always eat a whole bunch of food before we go so that we dont have to pay for their overpriced food. but personally, i think that if anyone plans to go there with little money they have to realize that the park has to make their money. i hate when people complain about the look and prices of the place. the rides are fun and if you go on a day when not all of the rides are open, maybe you should call the park before you go and take some time to make sure that ur not going to cause urself to feel so horrible about the place. its stupid for people to take their valubles and act surprised when they're stolen. common sense people, you cant trust ur valubles with anyone, not just this place.

We went to EG this weekend and our bag was stolen from water park area. When we asked customer service, she told us to check restroom as it is common over there and there are many such incidents.

I took my kids to EG because, to all teenagers, theme parks are a great attraction. We arrived at about 2:30 pm. By 5 pm, they (not me) were ready to leave. The food was extraordinarily expensive. Large fry and a small bottle of water...$8.00!!! Don't even ask about the other food items. All the areas seemed old and dirty and since this isNOT a Six Flags park anymore, there is no theme to this "theme" park. The rides were not particularily impressive...no signature roller-coasters. The shows were very poorly done ( hardly any staging or props). Not to sound Puritan, but since there is a water park attached there is an endless parade of unattended teenagers; most with tatoos, body piercings and unflattering body parts hanging out running amock. Not a place you want really young children. The lines were extremely long and poorly supervised (lots of cutting going on). It was over 100 degrees the day of our visit, and nowhere to escape the heat. I was sooo glad to leave that place. I've been to theme parks from coast to coast...from Carowinds in the Carolinas to Lagoon in Salt Lake...and this is, by a wide margin, the worst of the bunch. Truly an embarassment to a city as large as Denver.

My daughter and I visited on the 19th of July. You cannot take in your own food as was the case at the OLD ELITCH'S so you must buy their tripple priced food and drinks. $10 to rent a locker to keep your belongings safe.

I cant really focus on anything that was "bad" above the rest, I can only say, direct observation Of the whole experience. Parking/bad. pricing/ridiculous, highway robbery. Rides/bad. employee's "attitudes" bad. food. horrible/expensive/VERY low quality. The whole experience Bad/dissapointing/uncomfortable...Ad-Nauseum.

I have not been for four pr five years last time the lines were too long and no one did anything about people cutting in line the announcers for the rides were hard to understand I used to love going to elitches but the last time it was to much too many people to crowded too long of lines I hope you have done something to improve this and I will be going again in the next few years and I am looking forward toa better experience than the last time also my experience on the flying coaster was horrible they barely give you enough time to get ready before they are sending you up and they did not explain how to get on the ride very well I think this one is an accident waiting to happen.

I didn't like that you have to wait in line for a long time and people like to cut in front of you. The water park was worth the time you have to wait in line but it goes by alot faster. I would probably go back.
