Lakeside Amusement Park

Lakeside Amusement Park was a gem I wasn’t expecting to run into. From the start there was a really fun and nice vibe coming from the place that I haven’t really felt from anywhere else. Genuinely a wonderful time capsule from a bygone era. The rides were all so fun and pretty especially at night with the hundreds of neon and incandescent lights. Also can’t forget about the extremely reasonable price to get in and purchase anything. Very good deal. Also the staff and owner were some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve met here in Denver. Please keep this place open, it’s a wonderful park with loads of nostalgia and potential.

I had driven by this place for years thinking it was closed down, and one boring Saturday decided to actually check it out - and what a pleasant surprise! Not only is it actually open but it’s the perfect mix of run down to be nostalgic, and affordability for a fun evening of people watching and riding rides. It’s like stepping back into the 80s, even a pizza and icee is under $4! The kiddie section is perfect for a little one to gain confidence in riding rides independently! Go today!

Lakeside Amusement Park is a gem! Going there feels like traveling back in time in the best way—there’s something so nostalgic and charming about it. It’s the perfect place for a fun day with kids of all ages. There are tons of classic rides to enjoy, lots of kiddie rides too, and the whole vibe is laid-back and family-friendly. The staff is nice and helpful, and everything is super affordable. Parking is free, admission is only $5, and you can choose to buy ride tickets for just $0.50 each or get an unlimited ride wristband. Even the food is reasonably priced. It’s such a fun, budget-friendly place to make memories.

5 stars for nostalgia as a Denver native. Lakeside was the ultimate experience when I was growing up. It hasn't changed a lot, except the rides might squeak a bit more and the decor has gone from "could use fresh paint" to "what does that sign actually say?" People may talk about how rides don't work or the bathrooms are missing half the "on" levers in the sinks... ok all you haters, you just don't understand the rush of joy from experiencing this classic theme park that is a page out of history. Yoda would say, "Look so good when you are 117, you will not." But, a star off because I hope the owner invests in keeping this gem around for another 117 years. Parking: free Admission:$5 Option to purchase park pass or tickets that each cost 50 cents, with rides requiring various amounts of tickets. The kiddie area only costs 1 ticket per ride. For young kids new to amusement parks or with sensory considerations, I recommend bringing cash and purchasing tickets as you go because our kids only rode on three rides. We enjoyed the train which goes all around the lake! Memories made for the next generation! 💕
