My family love this place.I enjoy for riding hours, its fun and cheap. I have a lot of memories in this place, Even though it is an old place but I love it to death.

I love Lakeside! I truly dont understand why anyone would do their amusement park adventures anywhere else. The rides are great. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and never had to wait long to get on a ride. Its a good value. Its full of charm and nostalgia.

I love this place. Rides are fun and cheap. We always go for the Denver Film Society’s Summer Scream. Adults only. All you can ride. All you can drink. Be careful... that’s a dangerous combination.

I go to the dentist over here by lakeside amusement park I have been going there for 16 years I love it the people are very nice

Miss you Lakeside...you were always the best in Colorado. I hope investors find out before its too late.Love you all and all who still can attend (Ive moved)!

My kids love this place. Entrance price went up since 2015 but the place is still running and making us happy.

The classic! Great retro rides and environment. The Cyclone is without a doubt the beat coaster in Colorado- and I have been on over 150 coasters across the US!

We really loved it despite the bugs and old everything! Haha the employees ate extremely nice and its like a step into nostalgia for sure. My son had a blast and park entry is only $4 a person, 13 dollars if you want unlimited ride wrist band. Worth it! The only thing I would change is the cigarette smoking throughout the park, I mean theres children everywhere! But, overall good fun for cheap price. And be ready for crazy parking on loose gravel.

The park is alright!The rides are old and funThe park needs to be updated to code, possibly do some remodeling, to make the place better,Prices are reasonableFood could be better!

Fun rides, and surprisingly decent food items to buy while there. The place looks kind of rundown, but its still got its charm factor. During the week gets you a very nice all-inclusive price, and kids will like the kiddie rides. My favorite part is they allow you to bring in food and have covered picnic tables to use.

So much fun for all ages! Good prices. Even better on weekdays. (Except Tuesday..closed).

Park is definitely and old gem, but I must say.. my 2 year old was able to ride alot of rides! That was the good part. I like that you can bring you own food and grab a table.

This is by far my most favourite amusement park ive ever been to! It has such a unique aesthetic and I actually like it better than elitches. Lakeside is so nostalgic to me I would come here every summer. Definitely would come here on a date. Even though its an old place, It probably should be kept up a bit and cleaned but its rustic and old feeling contributes to the aesthetic.

I love this part to death. I worked at this park for 6 years. So many memories were made though the years. Its such that they wont be opening this year...

So epic! Like taking a trip way back into the past, the rides are so fun, great time for all ages! Great value for the money! Cyclone was amazing!!!

Amazing place! Going to Lakeside is like going back in time to simpler days. Sure it needs a coat of paint and and a light bulb here and there, but that’s what makes it so magical. An original amusement park like our parents and grandparents experienced. Tons of history here. Cheap thrills and not usually crowded.The staff is great too. I lost my watch on the Cyclone and not one of them decided to pocket it, but kept it safe until I came looking for it later. Also, every time I’ve been here I see the elderly owner lady among the crowds making sure everyone has a good experience. Honestly Lakeside is one of my favorite places in the world.

We have been going to the park for 65 years. It is like stepping back in time when things were so much better than it is today .it is a place to go to forget what has happened to all of us.

Their Rollercoaster is the best old school roller-coaster around!

Undescribable inexpensive grungy amusement... Took 20 for me to get around to kicking myself for not going before. Dont make the same mistake!

So sad but it was closed. But its our fav place to go when we visit in the summer.

Lakeside is Colorados finest amusement park so many great memories!

Ive been going for years, always look it as a kid. Now my kids and grandkids enjoy it..

Not as crowded, great place for the little ones.

We attend here every year with the younger children. Lakeside is awesome for toddlers where they can go from ride to ride and ride what they want. The small roller coaster is obviously a big hit.There are the larger rides for teenagers and adults which are old, but it adds to the nostalgia for adults and fun for the children. The park is decently kept up, but certainly shows wear and not always cleaned up after crowds. Food is actually affordable here so I dont feel that stress when out with our large family.The decor and symbols throughout the park should make this park a landmark if not already.There is a miniature train ride around the lake which makes for a nice break if the excitement gets to unbearable with the children.Ill add thanks to the honest patrons or staff that found my wallet which I was able to recover the next day.

Full of nostalgia, this is something worth experiencing at least once. It’s not super clean and the rides are old, but there was never a moment where anything felt unsafe. If you’re someone who loves typography, there are many old signs and plaques that are fun to see.Come on an off day to beat the crowds and prepare to spend 2-3 hours here.

Interesting watching this place slowly decay. Must have been great back in its prime. Admirable they keep the prices low but honestly think they should charge more so they can restore the place.

I love it the best place to take friend or family

We had a pleasant evening but Im glad the tickets were a gift. Maybe its great for small kids but my kids are 11 and 12 and they werent impressed. Its pretty run down. Needs a lot of maintenance. Broken equipment piled up all over. That was kind of sad to see. The people were all very nice. I got some super cool pics for myself though because I loved the graveyard amusement park feel.

I worked there last summer it was gross I was embarrassed to be selling food to customers and embarrassed of the games they had me run the prizes are super cheap and the rides are sketchy. Great place to go if you don’t want to spend that much on anything but yeah it’s pretty gross if your not paying attention.

Its older and clearly been well used over the years, but this place is an amazing piece of Denver and Colorado history. Many of the structures are originals, look into the place a little before visiting and its fun to realize how much is still standing after all these years.

This is the greatest amusement park in the whole world and I wish I owned it and could live there. I hope that says enough.

We love Lakeside even if it is run down. Awesome place.

My grandfather used to run the pony track which has been gone for so many years ! My mom and uncle worked there when they were teens. Fun house was my favorite and the train rides! I haven’t been there in years as live in Mississippi but lakeside has always been a part of me . I saw in the pictures the Whip may still be in action??? Ahh sweet memories !

Nice old fashioned amusement park. Last White City in America. Very nostalgic

I love lakeside its the most beautiful park. Its a walk into the past when life was simple and innocent. Kids are able to be kids and ride the most beautiful vintage rides. Art Deco, neon galore, terrazzo floors, architecture that is breath taking. I love everything about this park.

Great nostalgic place. Good prices, just needs some clean up touches.

Its incredible how long this place has been around! We didnt grow up in Colorado, so visiting this kitschy, ghetto amusement park at night- with a work party- as adults was fun. Not sure if Id pay full price or take my kids... but maybe!

Step back in time to a vintage style amusement park smack dab in the heart of Denver... prices are low..and it is very family-friendly, however lots of small general maintenance items are being neglected. This place has great potential I think it lacks management with attention to detail. Still have a great time and was a real value.

I love this place! It had so many rides to choose from and theres even rides for smaller children. I would go back there some day.

I went there with some friends. It opens at a weird time, but the rides were pretty fun even though there was long lines.

Its a classic place. Its no Elitches, but at 110 years old it has a certain charm and ambiance to it. Every year I wonder, is this the last year for Lakeside? Ill keep going till it is. (its a summer tradition for us) The Cyclone is a classic, as it the Wild Chipmunk. They have a new coaster, but it wasnt up and going yet when we were there. See you next year!

It is an old amusement park based on the White City at the Chicago worlds Fair. Unfortunately is not open this year because of the virus

I Love Lakeside. As a Colorado native I have been coming here for almost 40 years. Its an affordable way to spend the day with the family. They are trying new a set up where you pay at the entrance instead inside the park, which I liked because It was more efficient. The rides and the park feel safe to me. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced. The lines are usually short even when the park is full. The best part is that history and the architecture.

Surreal. Authentic and quirk. The decor and ambiance are as original as it gets.

I LOVE Lakeside Amusement Park! The ambiance is so calming and nostalgic as many of the buildings in the park are from the early 1900s. This also gives it an antique feel. There is also a diverse selection of rides from both older and younger kids. Plus, for how many rides there are, the unlimited rides pass is fairly cheap (I think its about $17.00).

This is not a kids amusement park, its for all ages. There is a bigger kiddy land but there is a big kids section in the back. Vintage feel and was a cool date night.

Kinda sketchy but honesty so much fun. Going on there mini train around the “lake” at night is so fun.

Love Lakeside! Fun rides, good food, never too long wait for rides. Great Family atmosphere.

Love this place. Cheap and fun, and my kids love it! Enough kiddie rides for the small one and enough excitement for the older one. Definitely go in the evening. My family had a fantastic time and will be returning.As a Denver native Lakeside is a staple in my family going back generations, and has co tongued in to the generation

Great night at Lakeside! Fun night celebrating summer with Lincoln Academy.

I live this amusement park! Ive been going sense I was super little. My favorite was always and will be the train at night. It was my greatest honor to bring my boyfriends kiddos here because I wanted them to live one of my childhood experiences and build those memories like I got too. Im so grateful i got to give that to them.

Went on Memorial Day with my dad who is in a wheelchair at 97 years young. We spent 3 hours there and had a great time! We had a lunch in one of the many picnic areas, rode the merry go round ride, took the adult train ride around the lake (Loved the tunnel!), and watched other rides as we toured the park. Price is right and the cinnamon & sugar pretzels are fantastic. The employees are super helpful. Great place to enjoy a bit of the past and have some great fun.

Love this place, and its history. Although it is not remodeled or updated, i think thats perfect, you can still feel the nostalgia that this place has been carrying for years and years. It is cheap to get in, and people might not want to visit for that same reason, but to me is one of the cheapest museums in the city, really nice and interesting story behind it, take some time and do research on this place and you will be surprised of what this place has gone through. Really recommend for people to visit.

Older amusement park but it was fun and clean. Great family fun

So joyfully nostalgic! Just like I remembered it, when I went there as a kid! Though a little run down, and some parts of the park entirely out of commission. Still had a blast with fam, and loved sharing memories with my kids.Plenty of parking, and definitely worth the price!

I loved the old fashioned rides. We had a blast here. I hope to go again someday!

So wish they would invest in this place. So many things you can do with a place like this. Love old amusement parks. Especially if you can find old pics of the place.

Cheap and really retro especially at night. And really fun

Lakeside is wonderful wholesome fun!

Grew up coming to this place, and always had fun.If you like old rides and vintage themes... this is the place to be. Good price for some good fun (plus a little bit of “is this ride going to break while I’m on it?”)Definitely an experience.

This is an old amusement park, and it shows for both good and bad. The good is that the rides are almost all historic, the prices are affordable, the crowds are minimal, and everything just feels comfortable and laid back.The bad is that everything is pretty rundown. Some old rides and skeletons of rides are just sitting in obvious disrepair. I would recommend going at night when the neon and lights conceal a lot of the wear and tear of the years.The Cyclone is a gem of a coaster and this park is worth visiting just for it. The kids boat ride with real water, and the bumper boats are both great.I hope that some day this park gets a rich benefactor to buy it and restore it to its former glory.

Though I currently live in Tucson, I grew up in the Denver area, and visiting Lakeside Amusement Park was a regular childhood experience. It is nostalgic for me to visit the park. I do miss the Star Ride and the opportunity to feed the fish, but I love riding the train. I also miss seeing the tower lit up at night, but I know that takes a lot of electricity. Lakeside Amusement Park offers wholesome entertainment for a reasonable price.

Its so fun especially with the kids. They need staff. Not all the rides were open but short wait lines. Staff is young be they managed to get the job done. I recommend this place.

Lakeside Amusement Park is like a quality dive bar. A little run down but tons of fun.

Fun rides and surprisingly decent food items to buy while there. The place looks kind of rundown but its still got its charm factor. During the week gets you a very nice all inclusive price and kids will like the kiddie rides. My favorite part is they allow you to bring in food and have covered picnic tables to use!

This place has been family owed for 100 years! It’s a good value for families with younger children. Just know, It’s getting a little run down and in desperate need of some TLC!! With that being said, it’s a great old nostalgic park, it’s really a night park, but it’s on the shore of lake Rhoda, and the lake keeps it cooler throughout the day. The food is reasonably priced, as far as attractions prices go. Picnics, coolers and such are always welcome and there are picnics area are everywhere. A great place for birthday parties and family reunions! The wooden rollercoaster is Awesome. They still have tickets for rides or you can buy wristbands for unlimited riding.

Visited this place for an evening while we were in town. Time definitely forgot this place about 40 years ago if not longer. It was cool for the historic aspect and the rides were fun. Didnt eat any food there. Some of the patrons appeared questionable, so Ill just say keep a close watch on the kiddos. Take the 13.5 minute train ride around the lake and enjoy the view of what was.

Great place to take the kids. This is a older park, so there arent any new fangled rides. The food is very reasonably priced, the nachos were good, the pizza looked delicious, but the hamburger we had tasted like old dust. There is also a picnic area near the kids rides where you can bring your own food and just hang out. Over all this is a good place to have a good time on a smaller budget.

Sadly this place is old and dilapidated. I have not lived here my entire life so I dont know what this place was like in its heyday. Everything needs to be updated in some way, shape or form. Definitely some sketchy rides that I probably would not have ridden in broad daylight. Seemed like most employees were fairly broken down too. Sad to see.

Good for kids and family, not as crowded or daunting as Elitchs. Many rides closed or rotating attendants. Dirty and run down, but we had a really good family day!!!

Know what you are getting into, a run down old amusement park with some sketchy people hanging around. But very campy and an awesome value for kids. I love this place, it is different in a good way if you are not stuck on dizzyland style experience. Do notMiss the train ride, best part of the park.

I really love this historical place it was great in my childhood and now that im and adult my children love it I brang my 2 Daughters and I mean they really enjoyed it for their first time. Some of the rides where closed due to maintenance but overall and good experience.

Great place! Although a lot of the rides can hurt you, but overall the rides are very fun and worth the cheap price! Would recommend!

Love all the rides, all the employees are super nice. Cash only for food but it is good, love their double cheeseburgers and fries. Super reasonably priced and all yummy. The neon lights at night are terrific. The Cyclone is one of the old school wood roller coasters and it is so much fun, better without the new bells and whistles. Opens at 6 and grown up rides by 7. You can bring a picnic in and relax. Games of chance(does anyone ever win?)but still a lot of fun. It is a great time every time-been going for almost 20 years with and without the kids!

I went to Summer Scream 2017, which was fun, but I hear on other nights a lot of the rides arent open, so I am taking one star away.

Fun rides. Didnt have to wait in lines .Had a great time at a low price!

After living in Denver for five years Ive never visited Lakeside because it had such a bad rep. I wish I didnt listen to the haters! It was so much fun and I found the retro infrastructure and art deco design to be incredibly charming! Not to mention it is very affordable! I will go back!

Lakeside takes the cake for all my nostalgia needs! I do hope sincerely they update their rides one day. Some are definitely sketchy! Its such a cute park located right on the lake!

You dont necessarily come here for thrill rides, but for the ambience. Natives of Colorado love this place because it takes us back to our childhood. My biggest complaint was that there were quite a few rides not running, including the new roller coaster and the Tilt-a-whirl. The foos is TERRIBLE. DONT EAT HERE. The prices are fair though and its fun for small children or for something to do for a couple of hours. I wish they would put some money into the place and bring back some of its luster. Its a gem under the dirt...and there is so much garbage that really just needs to be hauled away. I know locals would come out to help get it back in nicer shape. I wish they would bring back the speed boats and do something with the race track.

Fun place to go with family and friends good place to work

Nice place for the kids

Pretty good deal. They really need to improve the ticket booth situation inside the park (very slow moving lines). There is decent carnival good for reasonable cost. Plenty of rides for toddlers and adolescents. Some good old carnival rides for adults. I only go on off peak times, because I want shorter waits, and better parking.

Its a good time. Its cheap some of the good rides where not working. like the bigger ones but for the kids great way to spend the night. Parking was easy and close so with parking 2 kids 2 adults was like 70 bucks. Park is old needs a good cleaning lines are not to bad around 10 min for the big rollercoaster.

Lakeside has many entertaining and thrilling rides. I especially enjoyed all of the vintage signage. The vintage safety measures, however, scared me at a few points...

Its a great to go to if you have kids and on a budget keep in mind the place is 100+ years old .... Even with that My kids ask to go back time and time again...

Fun place to take your family. however most rides are not running, or not running at the same time. lights are hardly ever replaced, tower was not lit at all last time we went. major neglect to concessions, prices were written on a wet piece of paper on the counter. they didnt have most items on hand. paint thoughout the park is caked on or chipped, other major concern was ground throughout the park is cracked and uneven to the point it could be hazardous. my son tripped several times. I loved this place as a kid, but they are a serious lawsuit away from being shut down because it isnt being taken care of.

Great throwback amusement park. Love the Cyclone. Love the burgers and fries!

I do like the ease at which things go here. Its not too expensive and the kids still enjoy it. At night, with the sun setting over the lake its a good setting.

An intact slice of Denver culture and US history. Not fancy in a corporate way. Affordable fun for the whole family. Fantastic and intact art deco architecture. Historic Cyclone wood roller coaster is must ride.

We love Lakeside! We go every year with all the family and its always a great time! We also love how they are still serving their items at a great love price! Thats always a plus with a big family like ours!

Lakeside remains a classic amusement park from a much earlier time. Its imposing wooden roller coaster, the Cyclone Racer, hasnt lost its charm and its ability to thrill, either!

Amazing. You can literally travel back in time here. Experience a bygone era. All at an affordable ticket price. I just wish they undertook some more restorations on the park and some of its rides given their historical value. I can imagine its a lot of work as is though. Good times!

Love this place! I love the old school feel it has. Have been coming here since I was little and I now take my own kids who also love it!

Had a blast got a Groupon discount cost 3 adults and a kid unlimited rides for cheap

This place is an absolute dump. Smoking is allowed. The rides are dilapidated and run by what liked children - making me question the safety. Looks like they havent done anything to maintain or freshen up in decades. No wonder its so cheap to go there. Never going back.

Lakeside is amazing! We brought our kids and all of the kiddie rides were perfect for little ones. And its super shady for hot days. Prices are great! Parking and entry is breeze.

Lakeside is one of those amazing places, where its been fun for families for generations. I always love coming here! Its been a place where great childhood memories have been made, and I cant wait to bring my own kids here someday too.

Fun location with lots to do. Dont expect the most up to date rides, this place has a strong sense of nostalgia. Staff wasnt the best though, and they ran out of funnel cakes. If you take the train ride be prepared for a nasty smell some of the way coming from the lake.

Every year we go to Lakeside for my uncles bday and We bring our own picnic. The price is right! Kid friendly. Great place for kids, family and friends.

Great place just to have fun! Not Elitchs but more cost effective! A lot of rides were not running but for the price & FABULOUS food cost I believe this is more than worth it for fun!
