    Friend recommended Tiny Town as a great place for kids (of all ages). Good choice. The star attraction for the 5 and 3 year olds in our group was the miniature train that travels a 5/8 ths mile track in 9 minutes around the park. There is a coal fired engine and an oil engine. Volunteer Engineers know how to keep the kids entertained. Beside the train(s), there are miniature houses and other stuff, some of which can be entered by children. Tiny Town has been here since 1915 and some of the things look to be dated back to then. Other more recent houses have been added. Upkeep must be tough, or at least it looks like it. There is also a playground with swings and slides which was also an attraction. Definitely worth a visit if you have little ones.

    Cool little place for all kids. The train conductors and volunteers were friendly and helpful and made the experience fun. Neat little route that takes about 15-20 minutes around the property. Lots of small replica buildings for the kids to either peek into, explore inside. There is a playground with slides and swings towards the end of the complex. We visited the concession stand and had ice cream cones which were great on a hot day that we visited. Plenty of free parking across the street, and we did stop into the souvenir shop and ended up getting a t-shirt. There is about 50/50 sun and shade so bring an umbrella and coat up with the sunscreen!

    This is a charming little place where the star is the train. And who doesn't love the miniature train ride? Kids and brave adults can even ride in the caboose. It's not overly pricey for an afternoon excursion with kids near Denver. They have food but it's a limited menu, which again, no issues. There is also a small gift shop. I can't say how much is volunteering and how much are paid employees but with land at a premium, I imagine there are hefty property taxes. Locally owned and operated by people who put their heart into their product are far better than anything owned by a nameless conglomerate who only cares about profit. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? For starters, the snack bar is cash only. Yes, there is a convenient ATM but there is also a $3 surcharge. I get that CC machines charge a usage fee every time the card is swiped but a $3 seems on the high end. The other reason was we had a dog with us. We asked before we went in if she could go to and we're told no dogs. I imagine it's because they don't want dogs marking the miniature buildings and dealing with irresponsible owners who won't clean up after their dogs. Fine. No problem. We took turns sitting with the dog so she wasn't in a hot car and there were other people doing the same thing. However, they allowed someone's dog about the size of a bichon frise to wander the grounds and not a single employee pointed out the no dog policy. Moreover, if said dog was truly a service dog, it would have been identified as such and in this case, it wasn't. How do I know you ask? Because my husband said something to them about their dog being inside the park and me on the other side of the fence with our dog. The owner said it was not a service dog. So please, either allow dogs or inform guests of the no dog policy.

    This place was some what interesting, but pretty run down, like it hadn't been updated since 1979... we like exploring weird/unknown places, and even though this was a kids place we were hoping to still see some weirdness. But on the uniqueness scale I'd give it a 4/10, so it's something you could skip if you're coming here just for that. But if you have a child who's under 5, I'm sure they'll have an okay afternoon.

    Cash is faster... and also preferred by people who don't want a paper trail of how much business they actually conduct.

    Another one of these odd Colorado "historical" obsessions. As a Colorado native who was born here and lived a majority of my life here, I have to say that I don't get it. It's really nothing more than a small tourist trap on the side of the road. Among some of the "tiny houses" you will see here are the porta potties, so enjoy that. At the ticket booth they have a sign discouraging people from paying in any format other than cash. This is a red flag for illegal activity, because money launderers and tax evaders prefer cash transactions with no paper trail. But it seems like most of the money here is being spent on signs telling you all the stuff you aren't allowed to do here. Steer clear of the gift shop too, unless you are in the market for some Chinese knock-off Legos called "Cegos" or other overpriced imported junk. Other than all of those issues, kids seem to like this stuff and the price is fairly cheap. So it could be worse, I guess.

    When I read Doctor Sleep recently, I couldn't help but wonder if Stephen King had been to Tiny Town when he lived in the area. Sure he moved the "tiny town" but it seemed to be the same place. . A awesome little railroad that kids can ride. My son (3 at the time) had no issue being alone in the caboose (he loved it). The place also have lots of little houses and kids just get a kick out of these houses.. . and being the giants. There is a nice playground with picnic tables toward the back. . . I would recommend bringing a picnic to Tiny Town and eating in the back near the playground and the beautiful (and large) tree with plenty of shade. Our family had fun, and we will be back. . .

    Great place to take it easy while the kids do their thing. $24 for all of us including the train ride. Definitely recommend.

    It was really nice to be able to sit and relax while the kids released their pent-up energy on the playground.

That being said, quite a few of the rides and games were clearly broken down and hadn't been touched in years. It's kind of sad that no one is putting any love into this place, and hasn't in a long time. But, it's clearly very popular! We paid $5 to walk around, which is absolutely worth it for the nostalgia. You have the option to pay for unlimited rides or you can buy individual tickets for the rides you want. Since most of the rides would have made me vomit at this age, I was happy to pay $2.50 for a train ride around the lake. Jerry, the guy running the train, was fantastic! He really seems to love his job and his enthusiasm is contagious. I did think it was odd that on the list of rules as you line up to pay, it says no photos are allowed. BIZARRE. I guess they don't want any photos getting out of a ride that's about to break down? Clearly people were ignoring it, as who doesn't want photos of your kids having a blast on the rides! I have mixed feelings about this place. CLEARLY, people love the nostalgia. What bothers me is the lack of love behind it.

The actual go carts are so fast and fun- perfect for a small get together with friends. However the one draw back is the price. It was around $50 a person which was quite price.

Each racer got two 12 lap races, food & drink, one hour reserved seating, arcade tokens & top finishers got medals - plus all racers got to race together with a reserved time. The price was about $80 per racer. We paid separately for additional food for spectators. These go carts are electric, so no smell & pretty quiet. A few things to note, racers need to be at least 48 inches tall & if you have more than twelve racers you then split into two groups. Also, K1 has an Arrive & Drive option for just racing, it's first come first serve. The day we went was for a birthday. After checking in racers registered & signed waivers after which they got balaclavas & helmets. Instructions were given but it was rather hard to hear. Our racers had a blast...they loved it - it was a great experience. Right after racing our lunch was ready, it was served buffet style. We choose Cheese & Pepperoni Pizzas, BBQ & Buffalo Chicken Wings & soft drinks. There were no salad or vegan options. The pizza was good, however the wings were even better & delicious. Since we were a big group we had a private party room. The only outside food allowed was dessert. Our party ran smoothly, the staff was friendly & very helpful. All in all a great time!

    This place was about what I expected for a mountaintop amusement park that has not been heavily…read morebuilt out. The mountain coaster and the alpine slide were great activities and the kids I was with had a blast on those. The staff were absolutely wonderful and patient helping the kids through the ropes course and other activities. But overall, I would say this park is only worth about half the cost of what they actually charge. Maybe they charge as much as they do to keep the lines down, but if that is the goal, they are failing. You spend way more time waiting in lines or traveling up the gondolas and chairlifts than you do enjoying the actual attractions. We got there early (on a weekday!) and stayed until close, but only made it onto 5 attractions (of the 8+ available). Their website is abysmal, so you really don't even know what is there, where to find it, and what time the attractions close. They let us take a 15-minute ride up a chairlift only to tell us when we got there that they had already closed both the attractions at the top because they had enough people in line that it would take at least 45 minutes (to their close time) to get through the line of people already there. So we took the 15-minute ride back down and were told the same thing about the other attractions (that we probably might have made it on 30 minutes earlier if they had bothered to tell us before getting on the chair to the top). So overall, I would say that while this was a fun place to visit, and two of the attractions were nice, the inability to even get to try two of the other major attractions was a huge letdown, and the price just added insult to injury, in that regard. They need a better website explaining the timing of everything and their propensity to close attractions early, and they need to place limits on the number of tickets sold per day and have timed entry to the attractions.

    Fun Alpine Slide, but poor communication, long waits, and very poor value…read more I visited Epic Discovery at Breckenridge with my two boys on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The gondola from town was great, and the Alpine Slide itself was fun once we finally got to do it. Unfortunately, the overall experience was frustrating and did not feel worth the price. The biggest issue was communication. When we got off the gondola at Peak 8, there were employees around, but nobody greeted us or explained where to go. We walked to the Alpine Slide line, waited, and only when we reached the front were told we needed wristbands first. We then had to find the ticketing area, where it was not obvious that we first needed to complete a paper waiver before buying tickets. We bought three-activity wristbands for about $72 per person. After that, we waited again for the Alpine Slide. One of my sons met the height requirement and was wearing closed-toe, closed-heel rubber shoes because of a recent foot injury. Two employees initially tried to tell us the shoes were not allowed, even though they met the posted closed-toe requirement. A supervisor eventually confirmed they were acceptable, but it was frustrating and unnecessary. The chairlift to the top was extremely slow, and once we got there we discovered that only one of the three Alpine Slide tracks was operating. Nobody told us that before we bought tickets, got in line, or boarded the lift. The wait at the top was long, hot, and mostly unshaded, with no water and very little communication. The boys enjoyed the actual Alpine Slide and wanted to ride again, but when we got back down and tried to re-enter the line, we were told it was closing early because of work/surveying being done on the slide. Again, nobody had disclosed that earlier. We then tried to use the wristbands for another activity, but the remaining lines were also long, hot, and unshaded, so we left. For roughly $72 per person, we realistically got one Alpine Slide ride. The activity itself was fun, but the operations, signage, staff communication, and value were disappointing. Breckenridge is priced like a premium experience, but this did not feel like one. I would not recommend Epic Discovery based on this visit.
