Great staff and a beautiful property. Three of us (ages 11, 14, 45), all first time wake boarders went and our instructor Cam did a great job coaching and driving the cable, we were up wake boarding and doing surface 180's before our Beginner Lesson was done! Will definitely be back for more. Next time we may add the Aqua Park, it looks like a blast. Book ahead, they seem to fill up, especially on weekends. Also, happy to see they have appropriate COVID precautions in place.

Great place to bring young kids especially to see how they like roller coasters! :) splash pad was very nice with a large change cabin right beside it which was very convenient. This attraction also is not very large so great to bring the grand parents along as well. Fully wheel chair accessible from what I could see. All staff that we interacted with were fantastic - especially the younger "kids" operating most of the rides - very patient and very polite! Our 6 year old was very happy. There's also an area for bigger kids with an arcade and go karts that we didn't visit but looked awesome. So something for every age group for sure! Only "negative" I can think of is that the pirate paddle boats are only good for riders under 200lbs. At 6'2 and sporting a bit of a dad bod it ruled me out for the paddle boats but I've got great video of my wife and daughter experiencing a paddle boat for the first time! :)

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.

Reviewed By Mmekeating - Ottawa, Canada

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!
