    Ok, this place is crazy expensive, so as long as you're ok with that, read on. My kids wanted to try the Alpine Slide and the Gold Coaster. We weren't sure if we should buy one ride for $45 per person, or get the 3-pack. We went a couple of times in the afternoon and there was impending rain. The ticket seller told me we would lose our tickets if they had to shut down for weather (which generally comes in the afternoon), so we decided to come first thing the next morning for better chances of no rain. We were first in line and got our tickets and went to the alpine slide. My sons 8 and 11 thought the slide was lame because they couldn't reach far enough to push the lever forward to go fast and they slowed a lot of people down behind them. Because I had to ride with my daughter who is under the height limit, I was able to push the lever but it was challenging. The alpine slide was underwhelming. We then went to the Gold Coaster and it was AMAZINGLY FUN! We all loved it and rode it twice. Every person we saw had a smile on their face at the end of the ride. We all wished we would have used all three passes on this ride. We don't do any of the other attractions because they didn't seem worthy of using one of our three passes. If you buy the unlimited pass, I could see doing the other items to pass the time and get your $$'s worth. One tip: the ticket seller said if we did a 1 or 3 ride pass and wanted to come back and upgrade to a higher package we could just pay the difference between what we had already paid and the other package amount we wanted to upgrade to. I liked that that was an option. Going in the morning mid-week really helped avoid long lines. I also think it helped that it was mid-August and many kids are already back in school.

    (Summer 2021) Free gondola ride up to the mountain family/kid oriented place attractions: zip line, alpine slide, mountain coaster, restaurant, bar advice: buy tickets in advance or at the bottom of the mountain because there are HUGE lines for everything at the top. While there are beautiful views on a sunny day, it is crowded in the summer and the lines for such short attractions is not worth it. Very pricey.

    We came here in September because we were looking for something to do that everyone could participate in and that the kid would enjoy. It's not easy to please a teenager! We decided to do this because there seemed to be a lot we could do for the day. First off, this place is not cheap so we leaned toward getting the best value for the money which is still expensive at 100 bucks each. Word to the wise, check the forecast before you come because there are NO refunds and if there is a lightning strike anywhere within 20 miles, they close everything. Our day started out okay. We rode the different coasters down the mountain. One you control yourself and the other is on a track. On each of these, you control the speed yourself so you can go as fast or as slow as you want. We all had fun doing these. We had paid a little extra to do the zip lining so we decided to do this next. We were all excited to do this. We got our instructions, got our gear and rode the ski lift up to the top... where we were told there was a lightning strike ten miles away and they were closing down. Ok, so now what? They said we could wait around for awhile but they had to wait half an hour before the last strike before they could open again. After about 10 minutes, another lightning strike so the clock started over. We waited for someone to pick us up but eventually decided to hike back down the mountain on out own two feet. I won't bore you with the rest of the day but basically we rode the coasters a couple more times and that was it because of lightning the rest of the day. So yeah this was a waste of money. Even on a sunny day, there is not a whole lot to do so I don't think I can recommend this as it isn't good value for the money.

    Well, let's just say there was nothing Epic about Epic Discovery. We bought the Adventure pass which was quite pricey. It's actually cheaper to buy a pass for Elitch Gardens in Denver and much, much, more to do and 100 times more fun. The lines were very long. You are looking at 45 min-to an hour to do the alpine slide or gold coaster. If there is even a hint of rain, they shut things down. They don't wait for lightening....Right now, only those two items are open for teenagers and adults. The other activities are closed and they do not discount the ticket due to that. The other zip line, tubing, trampoline bungee jumping are for little kids or kids under 80- 100 lbs. The gemstone panning is not panning at all and you are only allowed to do it once with your pass. So once you've done the slide, coaster, and the gemstone panning you are pretty much done unless you have small children. It's important to note that the little kids wait in lines that take just as long and I saw so many kids just going nuts because it took so long. It later started to rain around 2:00 and they shut down the gondola, rushed everyone onto buses that were so packed that people were falling on top of sitting people as they tried to hold on to the above rails and although you wore masks, it wouldn't have helped due to how tightly the buses were packed. Save your money and go elsewhere. We made the best of it because we were already up there and had paid for the passes but we won't be back.

    Zip line short and slow

    So disappointing for the price you pay. We did the zip line and even the younger children were complaining on how slow the zip line was. Save your money. If anything just do the free gondola ride and enjoy the scenery

    Because I'm not that much of a skier (in fact I've been skiing only once in my life - when I was 8 years old!) so this review is strictly for SUMMER FUN PARK which my friends and I visited recently this past weekend. As much as I love the town of Breckenridge, I was very underwhelmed and actually annoyed with this park and their staff. Why? Here goes: 1. We bought tickets at the main office near the parking lot to take the gondola's up to the park. You can either purchase a day pass for a whopping $76 or buy activities a la carte. If you plan to do more than one activity, it starts to add up fast, hence the reason we purchased the day pass. Online, the park states that military members are able to get a day pass for $50 -which we were excited for as 3 of our people had military id's. Figuring we would have them purchase the tickets to receive the discount, we had them approach the window - only to be defensively yelled at saying that we couldn't do that, and that it was only for ACTIVE military members. We were all a little peeved in having to spend the entire $76 for the day - but figured it might be worth it. 2. The rude lady at the ticket window put a bad taste in my mouth of the park right away :( 3. The alpine slide is pretty cool....however, be super careful on it. my friends and I got sliding a little too fast and hit the turns hard enough to throw us off our carts. Let's just say the view is great, but not so much fun when you slide on fiberglass, get wicked burns and have to visit the medic! boo! Visit the coaster - that was my a favorite of mine....mainly because I was strapped in. ha! All in all - I think I'd rethink doing this. Although it was fun to hang out with my friends in the mountains, I don't think I'd drop this amount of money on this place again. #sorrynotsorry

    This is the summer hangout! The gondola ride up to peak 8 is free. If you would like to bring up your bike on the gondola there is a charge. I personally have only done the biking activity. If you choose to take your bike up to the top of the mountain and switchback down there is a charge for the ski lift to carry your bike. Even if you are not going to do any of the activities it is still a great spot to see all the mountain peaks. There are restaurants. Just grabbing a cool drink and sitting outside watching the people is entertaining.

    I was riding the lift last winter when I spotted the sleds for the Gold Coast coaster and the alpine slides, I instantly thought, "Alpine slides! I'll be back for those!" Sure enough I gathered a group of six to head up to the mountains and ring in my twenty-ninth birthday. Now I loved the gondola ride up the mountain, but in the hot summer sun it was a bit toasty in the enclosed box; even though the vent windows were open. Once we made it to the base of Peak 8 we were basically smack dab in the middle of the fun park. The layout was nice. Much like when you come in the winter for skiing, everything converges at one point. We headed straight for the alpine slides! I must say that they are quite a bit longer than the slides at Heritage Square and you can definitely get going quicker. There are two that run side by side and one that has a few different turns. A word of caution to the adult riders out there: be cautious if you've had a couple beers or if you tend to lean or get into things. My friends and I decided that we wanted to race and, of the three of us, I was the only one not going to first aid for fiberglass burns when we reached the bottom. We also took two back to back turns on the Gold Coast coaster. I do think that this ride could have been longer, you spend more time getting pulled up to the top versus actual cruising down. These carts are neat in that they, like the alpine slide sleds, permit you to control your own speed, but they are also held to the track just in case. The Fun Park also features a makeshift rock wall, miniature golf, gem panning, a scenic lift ride, and a few other things. I must say that I would come back, but I don't know if there is enough adult activities to merit paying for a day pass again. Especially at $76 (ouch)!! I would consider just buying a couple of the the attractions a la carte instead. Also, after my friends injured themselves I had a difficult time finding the first aid area, which seems odd since it should be easy to find.

    Tiny Town. A town that is tiny!…read more I'm so glad I read the reviews first so I knew what to expect. My daughter and I arrived around 11am and we decided to have a little picnic in the back of the car, which seemed easier than trying to carry stuff through TT until we reached the picnic tables. The scenery is so pretty here, which made our little trunk picnic even more special! My daughter is 5 and was probably JUST young enough to enjoy it. We rode the train first--a short but cute ride--and then made our way through the town. She loved checking out all of the buildings, as well as seeing how they were decorated inside. So many dolls and scenes! The playground is sparse and outdated, but of course we had to spend a little time there. Our only negative experience was with the woman working the register in the gift shop. We were buying something, and my daughter picked up a little trinket that you're supposed to turn over + watch the bubbles move. Instead of just asking her to put it down (again: it's for playing with! And it was right in front of her face!) she ripped it out of her hands. While this doesn't classify as touching someone else's kid, it was close enough for me. Overall, a 4-star experience! I'm glad we took the time to go.

I'm glad I was able to show her a spot from my childhood.

    Looking for a time capsule then loon no further as you have found it right here at Lakeside!…read more This park really is awesome as you can tell it's been kinda just left to the elements of time as everything here just felt like the 1960's which was totally cool with me because its unique to any other park I've been to in the country and that alone created this incredible vibe! It seems like they are only open at night which is awesome because I love going to the park at night as it creates a whole new atmosphere that the day can't match from the sights and sounds you can't really go wrong with a night at the park! Lots of this park is very run down like it really needs some help which made me kinda sad but happy to see it's still in operation if I had the money I'd totally fix it up and keep it nostalgic to its roots like get the roller coaster going and what not! Wild Chipmunk alone was worth the trip here as you don't see many coasters like that being operational anywhere a true gem in the coaster world! Their train ride was awesome too takes you to the edge of the property around the lake making for a long fun ride that we totally loved! They offer all day wristbands or tickets since we only rode a few things we went with the tickets making for a bit of a saver for us money wise so just plan accordingly if you choose this path! Overall this park is awesome I'd love to see it get the love and respect it deserves as I can tell this is a very valuable asset to this community and I hope to come back here again at some point because this truly is up there with my favorite parks I've ever been to straight up a vibe here the whole time!

    Is it dated? Yes. Are some of the rides and games out of order? Yep. Does it need a good scrubbing?…read moreIt does. Are the workers friendly? Not especially. If you can get over its shortcomings, Lakeside is a pretty fun place to go, and at 116 years old, it's pretty OG Denver. My husband and I took our son this afternoon (they open at 2 pm on weekends) and had a sweltering good time. They gave a new (to us anyway) entrance process. Parking is free now, and after you park you empty your pockets and do a bag search, which was no big deal and I'm honestly surprised it took as long as it did for this to happen. After security the experience kind of tanks. They had 1 person at the entrance doing admissions and NO SIGNS. Seriously, Lakeside, if you read reviews, PLEASE post a few signs at the entrance with the fees so people can decide what they want as hey wait and do your poor employee doesn't have to go over it while everyone waits. My family waited 40 minutes to get in today, and the fact is that that was 40 minutes of lost opportunities for us to have fun and to spend money at the park, and that is just speaking of my group.

I would highly recommend getting the full day pass, early in the morning. Covers the gondola ride ($42!?) and gets you access to everything. Or pay full boat on the zip-line and that gets you access to everything for two days. From the alpine coaster to the Game Creek Zip-line to the nerve racking ropes course, this spot is great. The coaster was a favorite for the entire family, even my son that doesn't like any kind of ride. I think the ability to control the coaster was a big help. The Game Creek zip line was truly incredible. For those that are wavering on the experience, dig deep and do it! Be sure to book in advance and try your best to get the morning slot to avoid potential afternoon weather issues. The views are incredible and the zip lining is exhilarating. I've done zip lining in Maui and this was on par with that experience. Better in that the harness keeps you facing forward and not able to rotate, not as good because there's no ocean view. But the views of the mountains and valleys are a good substitute. Dave and Ryan were incredible guides; encouraging, knowledgeable and hilarious. Safety is the main focus, "they clip, you zip". One zip is just under half a mile (up to 60 mph) and another is over half a mile. And you get to ride a ski lift to the very top of the mountain. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The ropes course is more challenging than it may appear (or we just suck). My daughter and I did the first level up and that was enough for us. It wasn't the height (we've done courses that are 50 feet up), it was the instability of the course, which I guess is the point. Makes it much more challenging but she tapped after the first level. The only disappointment was the tubing. The ride up was more exciting. When you first launch, you're thinking that you're going to plummet down the slide but something with the way the course is set up keeps you from going very fast.
