Silverwood Theme Park is an amusement park located in northern Idaho, United States, near the town of Coeur d'Alene, approximately 47 miles from Spokane, Washington on U.S. Route 95. Owner Gary Norton opened the park in June 20, 1988. Originally, the park included a small assortment of carnival rides, a "main street" with shops and eateries, and an authentic steam train that traveled in a 30-minute loop around the owner's property. From 1973 to 1988, the land, along with a fully functioning airstrip, was operated as the Henley Aerodrome, named after the family whom Norton bought it from in 1981. Over the years, Silverwood has grown in both size and popularity, transforming from a small local amusement park to a regional theme park destination. In 2003, an adjacent waterpark named Boulder Beach Water Park was opened. Entrance to Boulder Beach is included with admission to Silverwood Theme Park. In 2009, Silverwood began an annual Halloween event called Scarywood, held during the month of October. Comic characters Garfield and Odie are the official mascots of the park. Today, Silverwood is the largest theme and water park in the American Northwest on and boasting more than 65 rides, slides, shows and attractions. It is the northernmost theme Park in the United States.
Reviews
This is a nice amusement park with great coasters and some other rides. The Timber rides are really fun. It got busy I’m afternoon so went to the water park which was great on a hot day. Overall a fun day with the family.
We had a blast but a few notes:
1. Avoid weekends as they have no cap on entrance and are highly understaffed
2. Food pricing is pretty decent but they are so understaffed most waited 45-60 mins in food lines
3. They have a dress code for women to cover up, but are totally ok with men sporting hate tattoo symbols and prison tattoos. It was off putting as a bi racial family to stand in line behind men with huge swastika and White Pride tattoos covering their back.
4. The rides are fun!! They do a great job on safety standards.
Hands down, one of the most fun things to do in Coeur d’Alene is to visit the Silverwood Theme Park. This is Northwest’s largest theme park and visiting will provide you and your family with hours of fun.
Did not go to the water park. All of our time was spent in the amusement park portion. We had a good time, road the coasters, and viewed the attractions. All staff were helpful and nice.
We bought our tickets in advance on line. As a result we received a $10 per ticket discount ($59 per person). The admission cost allows a person to visit both the water park and the amusement park.
With perhaps one exception, the food was nothing to exciting. Typical "Fair Food." There is a restaurant near the entrance of the park that is a very nice "sit down" restaurant. We were very impressed by their food.
Over all a fun experience.
