Lakeside Amusement Park

This park is a true gem and an important part of Denver history. It looks a little shabby, but the rides are still running and it’s a very popular and inexpensive place to bring the kids and have a great time. You can buy an unlimited ride wristband or just pay $5 to enter and buy individual ride tickets if you so choose. There are some very unique vintage rides here, and the architecture is amazing. My only criticism is that they really should put whatever work/$ needed into reopening the Cyclone wooden roller coaster because it’s the last of its kind in the world from designer Edward Vettel, and is an ACE coaster landmark.

Being a massive fan of Neon-signs and Art-Deco anything, this place was glorious. l loved all the neon glow and classic rides. My Dad wanted to buy a shirt late right before closing and a very kind employee went out of their way to get us some which was very kind and appreciated. Like most small parks it needs some love but thats also why I was happy to spend a little money here. To support its upkeep.

Nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia! If you are looking for art deco, neon signs and classic rides, head to Lakeside. The vibe is throwback fun and the price cannot be beat at a $20 wristband for unlimited rides. I highly recommend you pay the park a visit!
