This time no tour, but just as much fun. Wesley was a blast, keeping it lively with his jokes and great service. (He even laughed at my jokes). We had two delicious flights including Mad Quaker, an amber lager, still my favourite. Busy weekend afternoon so there was a great ambience in the place. Couldn't resist taking some beers home....

Canada's Wonderland

Located just North of Toronto, Canada’s Premiere Amusement Park truly has something for everyone. For thrill seekers, the park features 70 rides including 17 roller coasters and the all-new Yukon Striker, the world's fastest, tallest and longest dive roller coaster. And for families, the park includes 2 children areas with rides, games and live entertainment. In addition, cool off in Splash Works, a 20 acre water park or take in any of our world class live shows and special events. Each fall brings the return of Camp Spooky for kids and families by day, and Halloween Haunt's frightening attractions by night. And new for 2019, families can enjoy WinterFest, where the park will be magically transformed into a winter wonderland full of enchantment and holiday cheer.

Canada’s Wonderland is a great amusement park for everyone: people who love big, thrilling rides (leviathan, behemoth, yukon striker and flight deck), people who like spinning rides (riptide, lumberjack, sledgehammer), medium thrill rides (stunt coaster, thunder run, silver streak, guardian, ghoster coaster) and a whole bunch of little rides and water rides! The park is clean, well decorated according to the theme of the rides and there is a lot of nature incorporated throughout the park which makes it very pleasant to walk around. There are good short shows, the food is decent and there is music playing everywhere in the park which sets a fun atmosphere. The only negative is that the majority of the employees throughout the park (rides, food concessions, stores, etc) are grumpy. They seem annoyed and/or bored and it shows. Not a big deal though. We had a terrific time! Canada’s Wonderland is Canada’s best amusement park! Lots of fun!

It is a great place to be. They have a variety of reptiles and they are well kept. The place is super clean and everything is taken care of very well. They have a small gift store where you can buy cute stuff for your self or for a gift. We would love to visit this place again.

It's one of the best indoor play areas in Canada. High ceiling, with play area going to the top. its like a jungle made up of high poles covered with soft cushioning for safety, kids of all ages can play here. They have area from 0 to 3 and the rest for everyone. Adults like parents are allowed inside and also on the slides and stuff. It's well decorated with jungle theme. The temperature and lights are very comfortable and soothing the whole area is well decorated with colorful flowers, plants, soft foam, and slow music. There is a tv on which they play videos and put advertising, which is very interesting. Staff is not trained in terms of welcoming and friendliness, although kids places staff need to be very welcoming. Probably they have a lot of business that they do not need customer satisfaction. Their rates are a bit high as compared to competition but they are big enough in terms of size to charge it. I think their rates are reasonable.

Took the family on the weekend, my kids are 6 and 4. Driving from Hamilton my kids were pretty excited the whole way in the car. When we arrived check in was quick and efficient. They had many different areas for kids to play and visit. Although I will say we thought it would be a day adventure and we were out in 2 hours. There are cool things to see and do for the kids but I think it could have been more interactive. I felt that my kids thought there would be more for them as well. They have a cool play area for kids where the food court is that my kids enjoyed. If your kids are going watch them carefully because some of the houses are not to safe for little ones and the bigger kids can be nasty. Harsh but true... The food court like most is very overpriced, we brought stuff with us knowing it would be the usual. All in all my kids enjoyed it but have never asked to go back or even mentioned it again. That tells a parent a lot. Just my honest review, not trying to knock it. Cheers
