Elitch Gardens Amusement Park in Denver has undergone various dwelling and name changes since its inception over a century ago. Commonly known as "Elitchs" to Denver locals, the park has become an indispensable fraction of the longstanding history of Denver entertainment, and bringing meaning to the celebrated slogan "Not to explore Elitch's is not to eye Denver."

Elitch Gardens started out as farmland on 38th and Tennyson in Denver, Colorado. In 1890, John & Mary Elitch purchased 16 acres and opened Elitch Zoological Gardens, a petting zoo. Several years later, they added Elitch Theatre, which became the starting plot and host of the oldest summer stock theatre in the United States. Elitch Theatre held summer stock theatre annually from 1897 until its finish in 1987.

The first hint of a unusual amusement park arrived at Elitch Gardens relieve in 1904 with the construction of its first roller coaster, called the Toboggan 8. A carousel soon followed the roller coaster in 1906. The carousel never went out of style-it is quiet in operation today at an amusement park in Burlington, Colorado. The Toboggan 8 roller coaster, however, did not last quite that long.

fresh ownership brought modernization in the commence of the 20th century. John Mulvhill, who bought Elitch's in 1916, added a Wildcat roller coaster in 1922, designed by the same company as the park's modern Toboggan 8. In 1928 a novel carousel arrived, and it is quiet providing a musical prance for kids at Elitch's today. Despite the spellbinding current roller coasters and other attraction additions, the zoo fraction of the modern Elitch Garden's remained in spot until the 1930s.

During the huge Band and swing era of the 1930s, touring national musical stars frequented the original Trocadero Ballroom. It fast became a hot set for concert radio broadcasts nationwide. Around this time, the zoo share of Elitch's was replaced by gardens and more adult rides.

As unique as it seems today, the early amusements catered mostly to adults. The amusement park made its first attempt at rides for children in the 1950s with Kiddieland. Kiddieland gained popularity rapid and grew to include a variety of exciting rides, from child-size motorboats to a tiny car track with a gas area for kids to "acquire up their tanks."

Skee-ball and arcade games made it to Denver's Elitch's in the 1970s, replacing the once beloved Trocadoro Ballroom. Soon after, more engrossing rollercoasters appeared throughout the park. The same Philadelphia Toboggan Company who designed the park's Toboggan 8 and Wildcat brought the Mister Twister in 1964. The fresh rides pushed Elitch Gardens to the edge of it's available land, creating a need for a modern space in the 1980s.

In 1995, Elitch Gardens moved to its fresh downtown Denver place next to the Platte River Valley, making it one of the few downtown amusement parks in the country. The park made a brief stint as a Six Flags, from 1997 to 2006, after which unique ownership changed the title assist to "Elitch Gardens." The "Elitch's" section of the amusement park's name stayed with it for over a century, through more than 5 owners, because a stipulation in the unusual contract drawn up by Mary Elitch stated that the name was never to be changed. Today, downtown Denver's Elitch Gardens has 6 roller coasters and a waterpark.
