Elitch Gardens- 2 parks for 1!

consumer

We went to Elitch Gardens this past weekend, and the place was sheer madness! It was the last weekend for the water park and water rides, so most of the people were there, but even the regular rides were super crowded. Elitch had just introduced its amazing deal – $54.99 for a park pass for the remainder of this season and all of next, so you can imagine how crowded it was for Labor Day weekend! We met a family who has been there 30 times, just this season.

Our family got a chance to visit the water park for the first time but the lines were a bit long, so we did not get to try many of the rides. The wave pool seemed to be a hit and lazy river too. The concession lines were long too, and so I do recommend not going for busy weekends, if you can help it, as you cannot really enjoy the theme park and all it offers. We did get to ride the Kaleidascape and it was nice and with a pair of 3D glasses, it is even better. Someone handed my daughter a pair so we could enjoy it. I noticed a lot of folks came around 4pm, as Elitch was open til 10pm, but the water rides closed at 6pm.

The food options were plentiful but the lines were too. Elitch was also offering a meal plan deal for next season, and if you are going often enough, it may be worth it for you. The water park is closed now, as it closed on Labor Day, but the rest of the rides are open through Halloweeen, so don’t forget to check it out for fright fest, and all the other fun fall events there.

Archery Games Denver – Great for adults & kids

consumer

We had the rare opportunity to participate in a party at Archery Games Denver, and it was a blast! We had 13 kids, but parties can include 20 children (kids party), or 20 adults when you do a corporate event. You can also drop in and play for an hour (minimum of 6 players required), for $25 a player, but you will be playing with others.

Get ready to rumble!

Archery Games Denver is a lot of fun. Our party included instruction for the kiddos, and assistance for an almost 75 minutes, including time to “suit up,” learn how to put the bow on properly and shoot it. Games started with the kiddos learning how to use a bow and shoot at their target. It was a great way to warm up and learn how to place the arrow on your bow. For younger ones, there are smaller, more manageable bows for their soft, padded bows. The group “suits” up with gear, including protective face masks. Then, the group went behind the fenced area, and played archery in teams. The first game was zombie attack, and was shooting at other teams. Then, the teams played several more games competing in teams. The kids were exhausted at the end, and had a great time playing for the entire time. My kids are still talking about how they “knocked out” their friends from the competition with their bows. The games are safe, low-risk and one of our kiddos was even wearing a boot from a soccer injury and successfully played in the competitions. Different age groups can easily play with one another, and it is low key and fun.
