Breckenridge Summer Fun Park

We visited this park with our two teenagers. We got there when they first opened at 9:30 in the morning to avoid the crowds and bad weather that are common later in the day. We were able to ride the coaster and the alpine slide a few times each with no wait. We also enjoyed the gemstone panning, the little maze, and the mini golf. There was not as much to offer teens. About half of the park is geared toward little kids. And it was expensive. An all-​day pass cost us $ 77 each. That is really pricey for what you get, but we still had a great time. We come to Breckenridge every summer. In order to come to the fun park again, we’d have to see more activities for older kids and adults. Be aware that money is not refunded if it rains, so be sure to watch the weather. Access to the park is free via the gondola. Just go up to Peak 8, which is the fourth stop.

I definitely have mixed feelings about the summer fun park. The cost for my husband and I both to go here for the day was $ 150 together for unlimited passes– which is close to the cost of a day at Six Flags or Disneyworld with a lot less items for adults to participate in throughout the day. Overall, I would say for this to be worth the money they would need to add a few things for adults to participate in during the day. The alpine slide is long and quite fun, and the golden coaster was amazing (we took several rides). We also enjoyed the scenic chairlift ride and a short walk around at the top. Overall, I am glad that we went for the day– but I won’t be back. It was just too expensive for what was available. (For children, there were a lot more activities to do– might be worth it for a family).

This is a mixed review. If you have kids, this could be a great day activity spot. Adults pass is 77 $ and there are about 3 – 4 things for the grown ups and 6 – 7 things for kids only. Ala cart prices for 1 ride are steep. We love the views but 25 $ for 1 trip down the alpine slide is laughable. I wish they had an adult pass for the 3 – 4 things for adults at a reasonable price. We would gladly pay 40 – 50 $ for all day alpine slide, ski lift and roller coaster. Service is fantastic. Friendly staff, plenty of seating, grill and bar area, music and make for a nice afternoon.

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.

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 decided that they 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 love to come back, but I don’t know if there is enough adult activities to merit paying for a day pass again. 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.
