The Little Theme Park that Could
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, a family-owned theme park situated on top of a mountain in a town of 10,000 people, continues to build world-class attractions that draw visitors from around the world. In 2018, TripAdvisor named it one of the Top 25 Amusement Parks in the U.S.; Reader’s Digest named it the Best Amusement Park in Colorado. The park’s unique setting enables the owners to take ordinary thrill rides, such as the Giant Canyon Swing, and make them extraordinary by placing them on the edge of a cliff, 1,300’ above the Colorado River. Located three hours from the closest major airport and large city, this mom-and-pop business’ mission statement is to make people smile, and that they do.Â
