ELITCH GARDENS

Elitch Gardens Theme and Waterpark

Friday April 21, 2023

Dear Friends,

Photo of David DormanAs we ready our iconic park for the upcoming 2023 season and embark on our 133rd year of operation here in Denver, we cannot help but feel a huge sense of gratitude for the million or so guests who visit Elitch Gardens every season. We are truly blessed to be tasked with upholding Elitch Gardens’ renowned reputation as a Denver entertainment institution, which is an honor we do not take lightly and a responsibility we take very seriously. Our mission is – and always has been – to provide a wholesome, clean, safe and thrilling entertainment experience where generations of families can create fond memories that last a lifetime, and we work our tails off to deliver this each and every season. At the same time, it is a labor of love, and we feel honored to be able to impact our guests’ lives in a positive way. Thank you for your continued patronage and please know that it is – and always will be – our privilege to serve you and the folks of our great city, state and surrounding region.

2023 is truly shaping up to be a season for the ages - for all ages, that is! Perhaps the biggest news is that the world-famous Twister II wooden roller coaster is storming back this summer after a dormant year with a new name and some hellacious twists. Reborn in 2023, its new name is Twister III: Storm Chaser. We challenge you to brave this new kind of storm! This August, for four consecutive weekends, we’ll be “Dancin' Thru the Decades” with an amazing series of tribute band performances covering the 1970’s through the 2000’s. Oh yeah, bringing back the memories! Luminova Holidays, the spectacular holiday event, lights up the world again this November and December. Dive-in movies in the water park, fireworks high in the Denver skies, other cool concerts and Fright Fest in October – it’s all happening this year at Elitch Gardens! And the best way to get it all is with a Season Pass!

This year’s season begins on April 22 and 23 when we throw open our doors for our annual Season Pass Appreciation Weekend exclusively for our very important and valued season pass holders. All Season Pass holders who attend this festive weekend will receive a BONUS Bring-A-Friend Free ticket that will be valid during certain dates in the 2023 season! So, if you haven’t bought your Season Pass yet, don’t wait – get it now and come see us during this celebratory weekend. On April 29, we officially open the park for all guests.
We look forward to entertaining you this upcoming season!
Warm regards,

David Dorman
General Manager
