Elitch Gardens Fright Fest

Elitch Gardens transforms into a Halloween destination for Fright Fest, running weekends from late September through the beginning of November. The idea is fun by day and fright by night: families enjoy kid-friendly fall activities, costume fun, and rides during daytime hours, while after dark the park leans into haunted mazes, scare zones, and spooky entertainment for older thrill-seekers. It is a seasonal way to combine amusement-park rides with Halloween thrills in downtown Denver. Fright Fest is included with theme-park admission, and some haunted attractions may have separate upcharges. Because scare levels increase in the evening, plan daytime visits for younger children.
