If you want to visit somewhere in Denver that combines old-school charm with modern thrills and spills, look no further than Lakeside Amusement Park. Opened in 1908 on the shores of Lake Rhoda, this esteemed amusement park is one of the oldest of its kind in the United States – and for that alone, it is worth a visit!At the centre of the park, the iconic Tower of Jewels sits like a glittering siren calling fun-seekers from far and wide. Art-deco design and an abundance of neon lighting are the main architectural features of this Denver institution which simply oozes nostalgia.Grab some candy floss and wander around, soaking up the sights, sounds and smells. The lively atmosphere is infectious and the old-time rides further serve to spread the carnival feel. Traditional merry-go-rounds, bumper cars and spinning rides are comfortably surrounded by more modern attractions such as the Zoom Drop Tower and the Loop-O-Plane.Scream and squeal on the seventy-year-old Cyclone as it clatters along on wooden tracks. This classic ride is fast, scary and terrific fun. The Wild Chipmunk coaster is a hair-raising, pulsating thrill ride which will challenge the courage of the hardest roller coaster aficionado. Specially geared towards the little ones, Kiddies' Playland has plenty of gentle rides such as Flying Tiger, Granny Bug and the Kiddie Whip. Youngsters will also love to spin around in the Tilt-A-Whirl and bump and splash in the Skoota Boats.All that excitement is sure to whet the appetite so grab a burger and chips from any of the stalls dotted around before planning your next conquest.Lakeside is a very special place. The unique retro feel ensures this park stands out from all the other modern high-tech theme parks that tourists flock to year after year. A visit here will leave you with special memories that last a lifetime. So here’s hoping this venerable park will still be around in another 100 years.
