Summer is finally here! That means having fun, spending time outdoors, and creating family
memories that will last a lifetime. One of our family's favorite summer
activities is going to Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach Water Park.
Located in beautiful North Idaho, Silverwood Theme Park is the Pacific Northwest's largest theme park, with over 70 rides, slides, shows and attractions, including four roller coasters, Boulder Beach Water Park, a steam engine train ride through the woods, live entertainment, magic shows, restaurants, and so much more.
NEW this year is the Riptide Racer water slide! It is six bright, colorful water slides side-by-side so that you can race your family and friends to the bottom! This 6 lane water slide will bring out the competition as sliders race down the 400 foot slide at speeds nearly 30 mph! We haven't tried it yet - but it looks like a blast!
We get season passes to Silverwood every year, have for the past 11 years. We only live about 15 minutes away, so it is the perfect summer time activity for our family. We go for a few hours, have a blast and then come home.
The carousel is just inside the main gate at the entrance of the park. From the time our kids were little (1 1/2 years old), they knew that this ride was our very last stop in the park before heading home. It made it easy to leave the park this way - no fits! Now at ages 15 and 12, we still ride the carousel once or twice before heading home - it's a tradition!
Of
course we love the rides and water slides, but we also love the variety
of other fun activities like the magic show, train robbery on the steam
engine ride, seeing the bison, and the adorable and friendly mascots;
Garfield and Odie! Even though my children weren't always fond of them
(they can be quite intimidating for the little ones), Garfield and Odie
are always happy to pose for photos, give hugs, hand shakes, and high
5's!
For
those older children and adults you can ride to your hearts desire.
Coaster Alley may be exactly what the thrill seeker has been looking
for, including Timer Terror, Aftershock, Tremors, Panic Plunge,
Corkscrew and Spin Cycle! All of these rides are sure to get your heart pumping a little bit faster.
Other rides include the log flume, bumper cars, bumper boats, tilt-a-whirl, antique cars, Thunder Canyon, bumper boats, carousel and an all-time favorite, the ferris wheel! There are thrill rides, kids rides, fun for everyone rides, and a variety of family friendly attractions that are guaranteed to make for a fun-filled day for you and your family.
The water park also offers a few slides for those risk takers. Velocity Peak will get your bathing suit in a bunch... this high speed water slide tower reaches up to 55 mph on a thin layer of water. Think you can handle it?
If you want to slow down to a toddler's pace, they have a place for that too! Toddler Springs is full of fun geysers and fountains. I also appreciate that there are life jackets for all ages and sizes available for free use at all the water park attractions. That's one less thing to worry about!
In addition to all the fun rides and attractions, there are other things I love about Silverwood Theme Park as well. The park is always clean, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and I love the music that is playing throughout the park, as well. There are also beautiful flowers throughout the park, grassy areas with shade perfect for taking a little break or snapping a great photo, and the variety of places to eat.
Looking back at all of the times we have gone to Silverwood Theme Park and all of the photos I have taken while we were there... we have had a lot of great times and made great family memories! Plus, we have made some pretty amazing memories with friends as well.
Some of our friends and family enjoy their time at Silverwood Theme Park just as much as we do. Here is what a few of them had to say:
- "We love Silverwood, it's a mini vacation all in one day!" ~ Jodi, mother of 2
- "A great day of fun for everyone" ~ Kama, mother of 1
- "I love the Lazy River and the ICE CREAM!" ~ Stephy, age 11
- "Great family fun!" ~ Cindy, mother of 3
- "Family fun and memories that will last forever!" ~ Bridget, mother of 2
- "We love it! There is something fun to do for everyone in the family. We go every year for my daughters birthday." ~Tina, mother of 2
- "Oh how the car becomes very quiet after you've spent all day at Silverwood and you get your belly full of food. Everybody seems to fall asleep!" ~ Becky, mother of 2
- "Silverwood is a great place to go for a quick and affordable family vacation! Something for everybody and the kids leave happy!" ~ Emily, mother of 2
"Don't worry, there are plenty of rides for the big kids too!" ~ Emily, mother of 2
Here is a great deal that I must share with you, as you are going to be thirsty all day, is to purchase the souvenir cups! I almost forgot about this until my friend reminded me. How could I forget? We have these and use them EVERY single time we go!
"Best deal ever! You buy these cups and you get FREE REFILLS all day long with soda, water or lemonade!" ~Becky, mother of 2
The day you purchase the souvenir cups, you get free refills. Any visit after that, you can have them refilled with the drink of your choice for just $0.99! It's a great deal no matter how you look at it. Plus, we LOVE our cups and use them all the time! One of the cups we have is 14 years old, we bought it the summer our son was 1 1/2.
Want to navigate the park easily? You can pick up a park map or download the Silverwood Theme Park app. That's right... there's an app for that too!
For more information, discounts & promotions and ticket prices you can visit the Silverwood Theme Park website or check them out on Facebook.
If you have never been to Silverwood Theme Park with your family before, I really hope that you get the opportunity to experience it. I will promise you that the entire family is going to have a blast! We began taking our son when he wasn't quite 1 1/2 years old, so I can assure you that there is something fun for everyone to enjoy.
So... Put your hands up in the air because it's time to get the giveaway! That's right! Silverwood Theme Park has generously offered to provide four (4) tickets to one lucky Being Frugal and Making it Work reader.

Ricochet rapids and spin cycle sound fun!
We love going to Silverwood. There is things to do for everyone in our family even with there age gap. It's not always easy to go with a larger family and we would love to win these.
We've been to Silverwood one time. I'd love to visit again and bring my kids. My four year old would love the Frog Hopper.
I want to win because my kids love amusement parks. We haven't been to Silverwood since before my son was born. He's now 4 and he'd love it.
My favorite ride to go on with my kids is the Scrambler!! Silverwood is such a great place to make family memories!

We love Timber Terror! My 7 year old thinks it is the greatest!
We love the train ride. We usually go last thing before heading home when we are all tired and need to sit down for a few minutes before heading to the car!
We would love to win since we haven't gone for a couple of years. The kids have been asking but there is always something else more important. Would be fun for this summer!
We never been to Silverwood. Avalanche Mountain, Ricochet Rapids sounds great. My kids would be thrilled just by going to Silverwood. Would be more fun if they go for those rides.
I want to win because we have never been to Silverwood. It would be a memorable summer break for our family to go to Silverwood because its once in a lifetime opportunity.
I haven't been in a really long time and I only went on the Antique Cars and the Steam Engine Train when I went. Tremors and the new Riptide Racer look like fun.
I would love to win this since I have only been one time back when they first opened up. I would love to take my son their, he really wants to try out the Riptide Racer. It would really make his Summer!

We haven't been to Boulder Beach in a long time this would be so fun to go with the kiddos and daddy! Favorite ride is kid rides and thunder canyon and log ride 😃
We would love to WIN since we haven't been in a couple of years! It would be a lot of since the kiddos are older and will be able to go on a lot more rides and family time this summer and making memories 😃
Silverwood is awesome! I love Boulder Beach. I would love a chance to win this to take my family
Of course we all love the train the best! It's a great time and a great little skit! Never fails and always a fun time! And we want to win because we live 5 minutes away and it's hard for us to afford! It's hard on the kids only going once a year and driving by it 3000 times a year!

The Aftershock is the thrill ride I am most excited about.

I love the scrambler... it's an oldie but a goodie!
We love tremors and want to try riptide racer!
Favorite ride is aftershock!
We really want to go this summer!
I havent been to Silverwood since 2003....My son was 3 at the time. We didnt get the opportunity to do MANY of the rides. We are planning on going this August for his 16th birthday. Im like a kid excited to go on all the rides I missed the first time :) Plus...I now have another child (4 yrs) so I will get to experience his first time too!!!
Don't have one favorite ride, love all the coasters at coaster ally. I guess right now our favorite is aftershock because it's the newest of the coasters. Can't wait to go back.
We love Silverwood! Being a family of 7 we enjoy Avalanche Mountain so most of us can ride together. So excited to go back such a fun way to make memories!

I love the shows they have here! The Central Train has always been my favorite thing to do to see the park and experience the 'robbery.' You definitely can do multiple days here!
I love Thunder Canyon! So fun to watch the kids reaction waiting to see who will get wet first.

I would love to spend some time floating down the lazy river and eating one of those enormous ice cream cones!
Love Tremors! Took my 69 year old dad on it 13 yrs ago and he had a blast!
I love thunder canyon. Thanks for the post :)
Haven't been to Silverwood for a while. Avalanche mountain looks like a blast for the family!
We love the roller coaster alley, but our favorite is the Aftershock! Who doesn't love going upside down and backwards at the same time?!
Tremors is my favorite. I can't believe the speeds it gets up to! I have a soft spot for wooden roller coasters, the fair we went to when I was growing up always had one and it became a memorable tradition to go on it with the whole family.
I want to win because it would be an absolute blast to take my family there. We love visiting Northern Idaho and SIlverwood is always on the agenda!
My favorite is the spin cycle. I always feel like I'm flying.

My favorite rides are probably the roller wooden roller coasters and the paratrooper. I also love the water park, it makes those hot day visits even more enjoyable!

My favorite ride is thunder canyon! I absolutely love that my whole family can enjoy a ride together! There is nothing more that I love then to see my kids face light up while enjoying the ride with them!
I've always loved Thunder Canyon since I was a child! I got to be on the ride with all of my family and cool down for a bit while we were still in the theme park! I can't wait to go back and be on this ride again!
Our family loves silverwood!! We went for our first time last year while I was pregnant with our second. We took our 3 year old and she had the absolute best time. They have so many fun rides for everyone, even an arcade room! Our favorite is probably thunder canyon. ��
We went last year for the 4th of July, and it was amazing! Would love a chance to go again.
My favorite ride is aftershock! Our family's favorite ride together is thunder canyon though. So much fun!
I want to win because I would love to take my family this summer on a vacation. We haven't been able to take any this year so this would be so awesome for us. We have gone a few other times in the past and always have a great time! Silverwood is our favorite vacation place.
I want to win because it would be such a great vacation trip for us. We would love to find out we are the winners. We love Idaho and silverwood'
I just love Garfield. I don't win anything. This would be just wonderful to win to go to a place like that to see. Never been their before. I think I'd love it.
I would love the chance to go to silverwood and take my two kids. None of us have ever been and it would be an amazing summer trip.

I want to win because I want to take my step son and my baby sister to the park to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of a new happy family. My sister has been through a lot this past year and I want her to take a break and just let loose for a short time.
It would be awesome to win so that I could bring my fiance for his birthday. His birthday is Jul 15, and we both work on that day but could go anytime on the weekend. We don't get out and do much because we have a 2 year old. It would be cool to bring my fiance and 2 of his friends. We LOVE silverwood and even want to scarywood on halloween.
My favorite is the boulder beach, and panic plunge. My fiance likes the after shock and if we win tickets, id go on with him even though I'm terrified.
This would be a wonderful win! We've been wanting to take a fun-filled trip and seems like Silverwood would be the place to go! Bumper Boats seems like great family fun! My kids would have tons of fun! My son would love the antique cars ride and the tiny toot roller coaster. I'd be sure to pack his conductors hat!
Why I want to win?
It would bring me great satisfaction in 'WINNING' my family's fun filled summer trip. I'd be forever grateful as we have had plans of Silverwood (in fact) and it keeps getting pushed back month after month. It's now scheduled for August, as I took all weekends off of work, (sigh) we will see. Thank you for this opportunity to fulfill my family's summer adventure
After 6 1/2 years of a very ugly custody battle that involved a lot of abuse from the other home, our blended family would love to finally take a family trip (we're from the Boise area) to Silverwood! We plan to save up and go soon, but it would take a lot of the financial pressure off if we were able to win the tickets. Thank you so much for the opportunity!! ☺️
We've never gone to Silverwood, but hope to go soon! Our family LOVES rollercoasters, so I'm sure one (or more) will be our family's favorite ride!

I would love to win because we've never been to Silverwood, and I would love to have my family go. Also we have a friend visiting from Haiti and it would be great to have him experience an amusement park and water park for the first time ever! 😊 We'd be so grateful for the opportunity, thank you!
I would love to win, we already made our reservation at the Silverwood RV park and camping. We are bring 4 of our kids, who don't know that we're going, we don't plan on telling them until we get there :) I would love to try out the timber terror and all the water rides. Our kids range in ages 4 to 14, they will all be so excited. All the reviews I've read have been amazing! I'm excited to surprise my husband woth the magic show as well. <3
I havent been to Silverwood since having kids! Would love to have them go. I remember loving Timber Terror and Thunder Canyon
The water rides sounds best to me. Ricochet Rapids, Riptide Racer, Rumble Falls, and Velocity Peak all sounds great!
I've wanted to experience Silverwood ever since the first time I drove up to Idaho to visit with my cousin. I'd love to bring my son up there before he starts college this Fall.
This is making me want to visit! My coworker just went, but it's 7 hours from where we live. We will definitely have a plan a trip there soon though!
I have never been, but heard great reviews of the new Riotide Racer from a friend!
I would love to win 4 tickets to Silverwood for my family's vacation. We haven't been to Silverwood for years. I am a Nursing student, so I could greatly use a fun relaxing vacation with my family.
The husband and I love aftershock our three oldest kids love tremors and all six of us love the log ride
I love riding the big inner tube waterslide with my family... well... as many as we can fit each time!
We have four kiddos and have never been to Silverwood. The big inner-tube water slide looks like fun! And of course, the bumper cars.. We don't get out much, so I know my kids will enjoy even the little rides! Thanks for the chance to win!
Our family loves Silverwood! Last year was our 1st time there and we are planning this summer's trip now! It is the perfect place for all ages. Clean, and easy to navigate. We love it there! Thank you for the chance to win a day of fun for the whole family!!!
We've been to Silverwood once, few years ago. We had a blast and think it's time for another visit! :)

first time going to silverwood this year, looking forward to the lazy river and the train ride with my 3 yr old and 9 yr old boys
The actual water park is my favorite attraction as I love being in the water. I don't do well with the rides although the rest of my family members love the rides. I could stay in the water all day long.
I would love to win these for my 2 granddaughters and 2 daughters as they would love to go to Silverwood. I would like to see my daughters also have a little bit of sister bonding going on.
Silverwood is great. I think we like Avalanche Mountain and Thunder Canyon the best.
Silverwood sounds like a lot of fun for the whole family ! Can't wait to go! Michelle
We love silverwood!! We are Really hoping to go this summer. My favorite ride is Tremors! And Timber terror!
Would love to win tickets! My family and I have never been but would love to go. Looks like lots of fun!
I think my grandsons, Mom & Dad, and I would enjoy the Bumper Boats for a lot of family fun. It is a competitive ride on water (which will help cool us down in the Summer heat), being able to squirt each other, and bump each others boats! Good ride for most ages!
I love thunder canyon. I love the unexpected bursts of water when the raft moves down the rapids and the looks on the other riders faces when the water hits them (my kids especially)!
I really can't wait to ride Tremors again. My and my best friend haven't gone in so long and it would be a treat to finally ride that with her.
Would love to win tickets for my family. We've never been but have heard it's lots of fun.
My family has never been to Silverwood in Idaho, and I want to take my grandsons and their Mom and Dad for a day trip. I've seen many people post pictures, and make comments on their fun times at Silverwood, and I want to experience that fun, too! I'll need to win tickets because I'm on a fixed income, and wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise.
I'm really looking forward to racing my family on the Riptide Racer!! Though I enjoy all of the slides and roller coasters at Silverwood!
My daughter and I love Silverwood. We always start with a train ride or riding the carousel while we wait for the train to arrive. My kiddo loves the roller coasters and we would love to come check out the water park.
We live nearby and go at least once a year (there are six of us, soon to be 7 so that season pass is starting to look like a good deal if we can go more often)...But each kid and grownup has a favorite. I love any coaster, my son loves boulder beach, two daughters love coasters and panic plunge, toddler wants to do EVERYTHING, and hubby loves thrill rides too. Great giveaway!
First Family Vacation For Our Family Of Four. SilverWood It Is.... Can't Wait For All The Adventures, Rides, & Slides Silverwood Has To Offer. We Are Extremly Excited For The Newest Attraction In Bolder Beach The Riptide Racer. Looks Like A Blast.
Boulder Beach is our favorite. I'm going tomorrow with a group of kids who did the Silverwood reading program, but I'd like to go back with my older teens.
We have never been to Silverwood and are going for the fist time in August. My wife and middle daughter are roller coaster fanatic and can not wait to ride Aftershock and all the other rides.
This is awesome. I would love to take the time to go this year with my boyfriend after our baby is born in ten days. We both could use the relaxation. ��
The best ride is the roller coaster,Tremors! Silverwood will be on our list to attend before Disneyland. I have a hard time getting my hubby out and I know he would go back to Silverwood in a heartbeat! This place is so fun and relaxing! There is fun for all ages! We have a 4, 9, and 12 year old!
Silverwood is a great place to visit!!
The corkscrew. My son has wanted to ride it since he saw Summer School. This would be great.
We are excited to go! Will be our first time except for my husband who remembers it from childhood
We have never been to Silverwood. We have family coming all the way from Alaska to go with us. We can't wait to the train ride as a family.
I can't wait to go to Silverwood and ride Aftershock this year. It's so scary but so worth it.
Silver wood is a great family getaway. The Wave pool is the most popular in our house. But we love all the water rides

Timber Terror or Tremors looks fun! Never been and would love to visit and have some fun!!
The roaring creek log flume is my favorite. It has been my favorite since childhood. I'm planning on going this month!
Would live to take my family! It has been on our bucket list for quite a few years now!
Whoa! Such a fun gift idea! Really looking forward to taking our family this year!! Our favorite rides are the roller coasters!!
TREMORS is my favorite ride! I love the feeling I get when I am on it! I especially love the underground tunnel it goes through! The pictures always give us something to laugh about later since our faces come out super funny. It's like a scared yet happy expression!
I want to win because it's such a blast to be there! From the wave pool to the high heights of the slides and roller coasters Silverwood is so much fun! I love going with friends or family because we bond while laughing at each other's scared faces!
My favorite ride would have to be the eight people boat, going down the slide. Don't remember what's it called.
Engine no. 7 is always a perfect ride after being busy in the hot sun. A great way to relax while still being entertained. And luckily my kids are still young enough to totally buy into the whole "robbery"!
I love the lazy rivers. I happily float around with the baby while my husband takes or big kids on the crazy slides.
I want to win because while having 5 kids is awesome, it's also cost prohibitive to do much. My kids love theme parks, and we would totally do a trip from Canada to party at Silverwood.
