Elitch Gardens in Denver has been closed for almost a year now due to COVID-19. Elitch Gardens has recently announced that they plan to reopen soon for the 2021 season.

Elitch Gardens has been a part of Colorado since 1890 when it opened up as a zoo. It's had a lot of changes since then such as the addition of the Trocadero Ballroom, the hand carve carousel, moving locations, and more.
