Canada's Wonderland

I have been going for a couple of years whether it be with family or friends and I always have a great time. This year was the first time I went in the fall — for Halloween haunt and let me tell you the vibes, decoration were way better. (Also fewer line ups) this year I went to the conjuring limited edition maze and I loved how interactive and fun it was. They did a great job. Do recommend

My Visit to Canada’s Wonderland: “For the Fun of It” My visit to Canada’s Wonderland was nothing short of exhilarating, a day perfectly wrapped in the park’s slogan, “For the fun of it.” From the moment I stepped through the gates, I was immersed in a vibrant world of thrill, laughter, and unforgettable memories. One of the highlights of my adventure was exploring the Wonder Mountain area. Towering at the heart of the park, it served as a breathtaking backdrop to many of the park’s iconic attractions. The Wonder Mountain’s Guardian ride was an immersive mix of 4D graphics and roller coaster fun, taking me on a thrilling quest through caves and mythical creatures. Of course, no trip would be complete without plunging into the excitement of the water attractions. The water park, also known as Splash Works, was a refreshing escape. I dove into a variety of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers. Each water attraction added a splash of fun literally! And then came the roller coasters the true heartbeat of Canada’s Wonderland. From the intense drops of Leviathan to the twists and turns of Behemoth and the fast paced thrill of Yukon Striker, every ride pushed the limits of adrenaline. The speed, height, and suspense of each coaster left me breathless and craving more. Throughout the day, I explored an array of other attractions, each offering a unique blend of excitement and entertainment. Whether it was the family friendly rides, the live shows, or the themed zones like Planet Snoopy, there was something for everyone. Canada’s Wonderland truly lives up to its reputation not just as a theme park, but as a wonderland of fun, thrills, and unforgettable moments. It was an experience made for the fun of it, and one I won’t soon forget.

Canada’s Wonderland is fun for kids, but the experience feels more like a money trap than a family park. The atmosphere is designed to highlight thrills and fun, but underneath it’s clear the priority is profit, not guests. Parking is $39.99, food and drinks are overpriced, and water access is limited to old fountains or dirty sinks. You can’t bring in much from outside, yet security checks are inconsistent—sometimes too strict, sometimes too lax, raising safety concerns. Customer service is lacking; staff rarely smiled or welcomed guests. Ride wait times stretch 1–2 hours unless you pay $179.99 per person for Fast Lane Plus, which doesn’t even include all rides despite the marketing. My kids had a great time, but they weren’t the ones paying. For what I spent in one day, I could have taken a family trip down south. The park succeeds at creating a “fun” image, but in reality, it’s a polished price-gouge. If you want true value and enjoyment, a small-town festival will give you more smiles, less stress, and far better bang for your buck.

Countless thrill rides to choose from, all fantastic. A fast pass ticket is highly recommended if you are exclusively looking to ride everything. Otherwise, plenty of food and good vibes await. Only downside was the lack of drinking fountains around the park. Could only reliably find some at the front entrance.

Excellent experience as it was my 1st time here. Super thrilling rides, had the best time. Wait times are awfully long with regular ticket, highly recommended to get fast track tickets. I am definitely going back, still lots to do. The park is clean, they are doing a great job.

Unfortunate they changed the rules that you can’t leave once you enter. Expect to pay STEEP prices for food & drinks with long lines and zero customer service as all they care about is efficiency. Most workers seemed like they hated being there which really killed the mood. If you get there when it opens almost every ride is under maintenance or still being tested. You can never understand what is being said over the speaker when doing a ride but for the most part you don’t need that information. The hardest part of roller coasters isn’t how “scary” they are. It’s can you deal with your head being smashed around in the head rest. Halloween stuff - the walk around characters were a joke. Not scary and not really trying. 3 times I walked past one area and 3 of them were just standing in a circle talking to each other. You have to pay if you want to actually go through any haunted areas. I will say I was impressed with their fog machine. That thing was able to take out a block outside with ease! Made everything look pretty epic in the dark.

The passes and guest entry is a good feature, but they need to find a way out about the wait time. It is a little too much and the wait time kills the joy. 4 rides after 4 hours. Not everybody would be up for that. And then the parking is more full than the parking at Square One. A lot of ride options for people though, and good place to take the kids out for the day.

Rides are thrilled and night is haunted (during Halloween season only 😉). We enjoyed the day but had an adventurous experience than imagine.. Wonderland is wonderful 😊 Planning to get this amazing experience again 🤩

Tips: - Canada's Wonderland is a cashless park. Bring debit and credit cards. - If you are at the Courtyard, it starts promptly at 1:30 pm and ends equally as promptly at 2:30 pm. Yesterday, I visited Canada's Wonderland (CW) as part of a work event. We were treated to a buffet-style lunch at the Courtyard. The experience included entrance to the amusement park, parking, and lunch. I was last at CW in 2018 as part of a Yelp event, which broke my two-decade streak being away from this amusement park. This time, it only took me just over seven years to return. I reviewed the event back then. I never reviewed CW in general. Now is the time! Our event was mainly a buffet-style lunch at the Courtyard. It was nice returning. It started promptly at 1:30 pm. I went ahead and filled my plate up with food: - Beef burger patty - Hot dog on a bun - Coleslaw and leafy salad - Barbeque chicken breast - Mac and cheese - Vanilla ice cream cups (2) My manager found me as I was heading to the fountain drinks and condiments area. I got to meet 75% of his family, along with relatives visiting from Hong Kong. I got a Diet Coke. The cup was small. I went back a couple of times to refill. It was cold and fizzy. However, it had a tinny taste to it. We got our photos taken by my software developer colleague. I was a part of helping him out as a mentor. Such relationships pay off! My manager's family abandoned him and sat at one picnic table that was covered. He sat with me as we chatted over a leisurely lunch. My thoughts about what I ate: - The burger patty was dry. It required a lot of Diet Coke to wash it down. I could have hit someone with it and done a lot of damage. Thank goodness I didn't. - The hot dog was plump and yummy. The bun was on the almost-hard side. Not quite stale, but not soft. Diet Coke was needed to wash the bun down. - The coleslaw and leafy salad were excellent. They were flavourful, especially with the Italian dressing. - I love mac and cheese. It was creamy, but bland. It was such a shame. It required some sort of sharp cheddar. - The vanilla ice cream was yummy. I got two. It would have been nice to have more flavours available. The Courtyard ceased all food and drink at exactly 2:30 pm. It was like clockwork. I used the washroom near the Courtyard and by the Wonderland store before I left. They were decent. Parking was straightforward. Sadly, I was behind a car of five people. There was an issue with making payment. I sat behind this car for five minutes as others readily got in. The nice man at parking scanned my QR code. You need the QR code for parking, entering the park, and hitting the Courtyard. Entrance to the Courtyard requires that you show the actual ticket either digitally or printed out. The QR code wasn't scanned. I lucked out. A car pulled out in the regular parking lot, a row before preferred parking. I backed into it and headed to the entrance. I don't remember a security line to get through the metal detector. It was new to me. There was a lineup, but it did move well. There was another checkpoint if you had a bag. I didn't, so I got to hit the entrance area. There was a wait. I got my QR code scanned. I needed to get a photo taken before I hit the park. I was here for a short period, as I had another event to go to. I was satisfied doing what I did for three hours. I always need an arcade. I was content playing Pac-Man, hoops, and Skee-ball. You need to load a card with credits to play. I worked up a sweat. I got a bottled Diet Coke, which was $5.50. You expect expensive drinks and food here. I will say that it was icy cold and I had no complaints. I caught a diving show at Arthur's Baye in Medieval Faire. It was awesome! Wonderland has a good mix of food stands, gift shops, rides, candy stores, and more for any age. Bumper cars and the Bat are some of the rides that remain solid park staples. AlpenFury is the newest ride. It's a multi-launch roller coaster. This ride has been marketed as Canada's tallest, fastest, and longest launch coaster, featuring nine inversions and launching roller coaster fans out of Wonder Mountain. I did not do any rides. My parents need me in one piece as my mom continues to heal after surgery and recovery. There are plenty of places to take a breather and sit down after walking the park. I sat in front of Leviathan to drink my Diet Coke before soaking up more of the park. I hit the Wonderland store to get a souvenir. There were a lot of Peanuts merchandise, from mugs, to t-shirts. There were also Leviathan merchandise and CW-branded items, such as tumblers. I got a small Charlie Brown plushie. I don't own many of this Peanuts character. This plushie is my second Charlie Brown one. The weather was perfect. It was 23°C and partly sunny. I had a great time. It would have been nice if I had more time here, but I enjoyed the few hours that I had here to have lunch, play arcade games, and get a plushie as a souvenir. (303)

I went on Sat, Aug 23 as a plus one for a corporate pass that included lunch buffet at 1:30pm and early access to the park at 9am (regular entry is 10am) and added on a Fast Lane Plus pass. However, when we checked in and arrived inside around 9:30am-9:45~am, the park staff was blocking us from entering the park, which caused a lot of confusion because our ticket should've allowed us early entrance. In the corporate email we received it said "This year we will have Early Ride allowing entrance to the park at 9am for Yukon Striker Area , this includes Yukon Striker, Tundra Twister, Lumberjack, Vortex." This really messed with our plan and made our early visit as part of the priority corporate group a bit pointless since we spent time trying to figure out where we could actually go. While we were blocked to go to Yukon Striker for early access, we were able to access Vortex with no line up and quickly rush to AlpenFury (the newest ride) with our Fast Lane Plus access at around 10am. It was about less than a 20min wait. But around 11am-3pm-ish AlpenFury seems to always wait around 1hr for Fast Lane Plus and about 1hr20mins for regular folks when I checked (Saturday). There is a single rider line and my friend was there around 11am and it as probably slightly faster than the the regular line. We're glad we got that ride done early! I think because of how new the ride is, everyone with Fast Lane pass are stuck lining up for AlpenFury whereas everything else like Leviathan, Behemoth, Yukon Striker all had minimal wait. Leviathan we had 0 wait and could just loop around and do it again. AlpenFury is a fun ride with fast acceleration and twisting tracks, which was interesting. Don't know if it's worth the 1.5hr wait though. However, I think my fav is still Leviathan. We also checked out some of the shows. The dog one is kind of similar to the CNE SuperDogs show but with a smaller stage, we only caught like 15 mins of it before we rushed to the Circus show. The circus was cool but similar to last year's performance. The mimes are always fun. Divers is my first time seeing their bit and it was interesting especially with the tightrope walker. Lastly, we had to finish with a funnel cake and definitely get the one funnel cake shop near the gate entrance as they do it the best and are very generous with the ice cream and funnel cake portion sizes. $19.20 including tax and for us, splitting it as a group of 4 was the perfect amount to end off the day. Tip: Download and login the Wonderland app to get up to date wait times for all the rides. Oh and my friend has a season pass and noted that it expires much earlier this year before Halloween. Only worth it to get a Season pass if you plan on going at least 3 times. Feedback to Wonderland: 1) The Wonderland app doesn't help you navigate to where the show locations are. I tried looking up the location "Showplace" for the dog show and I couldn't find a match and had to ask staff for directions. Make all the locations for the shows and performances searchable on the map! 2) Whoever cooked the ribs for the corporate lunch was WAY too heavy handed with the salt, making the ribs unpalatable and dry. We remember it being so much tastier last year. One of my friends had to throw out their ribs because it was too salty and I hate to see food to go to waste! The chicken breast was really tasty though. The lineup for lunch is faster this year but still feel like there should be 3-4 lines instead of two so it's quicker. Like a separate line for the salad bar as it took so long to just line up to get some extra greens.

I hadn't been to this place over 10 years. They got more new activities. We were here because my friend got a four season pass and 2 free tickets with friends. We only had enough time to explore the kids zone. But that's been a lot of fun for my baby already. Due to age and height limitations, she could only get on some rides with parent. That's pretty enough for a baby. There was a meal pass and a drink pass as well. For purchasing a four season pass, pretty much would buy the meal pass and the drink pass. We would definitely come again when my kid is a bit older.

It's been many years ago since I've been to Wonderland. This year my family and I decided to get the annual pass along with the food and drink pass since it was a good deal - much cheaper than one time admissions. We have gone quite a few times now and we always have a blast! You can spend a full day here and not be bored at all. They have so many different rollarcoasters and kiddy rides. They have shows throughout the day and a park for kids too.

Our family members are CW season pass holders who graciously hooked us up with guest passes. We arrived on Sat, mid-afternoon, and parking was quite challenging (thanks to the gorgeous weather). Everyone ( under 10yo) had a blast, even though we only ended up staying for a couple hrs (dinner reservation). Love how convenient it is to drive here. Will def check out more rides next time we're in town.

Canadas wonderland is great and I've been going ever since I was little, but buying golden pass and still needing to pay extra for the mazes is stupid especially when we are paying extra for the pass,

I've been a big fan of the Cedar Fair parks, and have made many visits to Kings Island over the years. While planning a trip to Toronto, we already had the Cedar Fair annual pass that allows entry to all of their parks, so we figured we'd spend a day at Canada's Wonderland since it was included. Y'all..... This park is gigantic. SO many roller coasters, areas, food.... everything. It would be easy to get lost in, it is that big! We were very impressed with how clean and well-kept this park was, which is one of the reasons we love Cedar Fair... their sister parks uphold the same standards. It's almost hard to spend just one day here because there is so much to do. We are coaster junkies so we spend a majority of our day doing that. It was definitely busy, but we never felt like the lines were absurdly long. They also hold different kinds of events here throughout the year. During our visit, there was a food festival going on so we got to try out a bunch of different Canadian dishes! This park is awesome, and is absolutely worth a day trip if you're in or near Toronto!

Canada's Wonderland - A Full Day of Family Thrills, Smiles, and Lasting Memories After a long but scenic family drive, we finally arrived at Canada's Wonderland -- and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth every kilometre. From the moment we entered the gates, the energy, excitement, and magic of the park hit us full force. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, a foodie, or just looking to spend quality time with your loved ones, Wonderland delivers an unforgettable experience across the board. The Rides - Something for Everyone Our crew included adults, teenagers, and little ones, and somehow we all found rides tailored to our tastes and comfort levels. The adrenaline junkies in the family made a beeline for Leviathan, Yukon Striker, and Behemoth -- all of which lived up to their legendary reputations with mind-blowing speed and gravity-defying drops. For a more laid-back experience, we hopped on the classics like the Ghoster Coaster, Swing of the Century, and the relaxing ride on the White Water Canyon (expect to get wet, and love it!). Planet Snoopy and KidZville were perfect for the younger kids -- the rides are designed with their safety and joy in mind, and seeing their faces light up was priceless. The Water Park - Splash Works We packed our swimsuits and headed to Splash Works, which turned out to be the perfect mid-day cool-down. The lazy river, wave pool, and water slides provided hours of fun, and the changing areas were clean and well-maintained. It's like getting a second amusement park included in your ticket! Park Atmosphere and Cleanliness The park is impressively clean given the amount of foot traffic, and the staff did an excellent job keeping things organized and welcoming. Every team member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely added to the experience -- whether helping with directions, managing lines efficiently, or just offering a smile. Food & Snacks - Options Galore From juicy burgers to funnel cakes, ice cream, and everything in between, Wonderland has a great variety of food to satisfy every craving. We tried the classic Canadian poutine, some delicious pizza slices, and couldn't resist the iconic funnel cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but that's expected at a theme park -- and at least the quality held up! Tips from Our Family Trip Get there early! You'll want the full day to explore everything. Consider Fast Lane passes for the busier rides -- they really help during peak times. Pack extra clothes if you're doing water rides or Splash Works. Stay hydrated -- lots of walking and excitement makes for thirsty adventurers. Use the app for ride times and food locations -- it's a game-changer! Final Thoughts Canada's Wonderland lived up to its name -- it truly is a wonderland for families looking to escape routine and dive into a world of excitement, laughter, and adventure. The long drive melted away once we stepped into the park, and by the end of the day, we were exhausted in the best possible way -- sun-kissed, joy-filled, and with enough memories to talk about for months. We'll definitely be back next season... maybe even sooner. (5/5)

The new funnel cake flavor was good! Too sweet for me. I prefer the strawberries. The chocolate brownies are more like a cookie and crunchy not cakey

I've been visiting Canada's Wonderland frequently for the past two years, and the improvements are remarkable. Under Cedar Fair (and now Six Flags), the food and rides are much better compared to the Paramount era. Cedar Fair has invested heavily, adding world-class roller coasters like Behemoth, Leviathan, Yukon Striker, and soon Alpenfury. The food options have also improved with the addition of Lazy Bear Lodge and Grande World Eatery. Cons: The park gets very crowded during the summer. Overall, it's a fantastic place to visit, and I hope they continue to invest in food and shows. My last visit before these past two years was 15-20 years ago, and the transformation is impressive!

A great place with kids to visit no matter in what season. Great to get a season pass and have fun with family.

July 31, 2024 - recently (July 28, 2024) I dropped my 17yr old niece and 16yr old nephew off to wonderland and I was kinda sad that we didn't go with them. But I was so happy when my sister said she bought tickets for all of us to go a few days later!! Thanks sis I haven't been here in years, so it was nice to go back. While my niece and nephew left us to enjoy their (fast passes), I went a some kiddie rides with my little 3 yr old niece. I even played with her in the kiddie pool. But my baby girl tried to drown me quite a few times lol Eventually my niece asked me to go on some bigger rides with her. I was legit so confident that I could go on leviathan, but my niece said let's go on Behemoth first. The wait time was so long. I felt bad that she waited with me. She probably could have used her fast pass 5x on behemoth while I was in line. But eventually we got on, and wow. I screamed the entire time! I screamed so much I lost my voice. After that I was like back to kidsville we go. Lmao ... we did go on a few more rides with little to no wait times before going back to kidsville. We also bought the food pass (You get food every 1 1/2hrs), it was quite good, we used it about 5x but because of the rain we decided to leave at 7pm so we ordered food then and gave the ticket to some girls who were staying till closing (at least they could use it two more times around 8:30pm and 10pm)

Good times in my youth and now perennially with my friend's company as an adult, Wonderland is a quintessential, landmark institution that's known to all Toronto residents. One of my friends works for a big tech company and all the employees get free tickets every year (with possible +1's). The tickets include early bird 1 hr park access, free catered lunch and free parking. The last couple times I visited Wonderland was with said friend and that 1 hour early bird park access in the morning is a total game changer. On this recent visit, we went on Leviathan 5 times before gunning it over to Yukon Striker and Behemoth before the park officially opened at 10 am. By the time lunch rolled around, we had already tackled most of the big attractions and were able to avoid the massive lines. Speaking of lunch, throughout the years I feel like the catering quality has gone down steadily. They used to offer fried chicken in one of the trays but this year, it was replaced with very dry grilled chicken in a peppery (but also watery) sauce. In addition, the pastas were way overcooked compared to previous years. The best tasting thing was the coleslaw imo. Oh yea, there were both veggie and regular meat patty burgers being served but the trays had no labels so I had to ask a staff member which tray was the meat patties. Moreover, the chest freezers in the courtyard used to house strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ice creams back in the mid 2010's. Near 2020 I rmbr they shrank the selection down to just chocolate and vanilla. On this most recent visit, only vanilla ice cream was available in the freezers throughout the courtyard. Big disappointment in my books. As far as the the actual amusement itself, it's always been good! The water park sometimes smells a lil funky (maybe from all the chlorine they have to keep filtering in and out) but you can literally spend hours and hours there alone. The rides have always been elite. Especially leviathan, which imo is the best ride in the park. If you're not always going to wonderland and you go once in a blue moon with general admission I'd actually recommend getting the fast lane/pass add-on as there's barely ever a line in that lane and you can actually double (sometimes even triple) the amount of riding you can do with it. Food and beverage are very obviously a ripoff at the park. The only thing I'd recommend is the funnel cakes. Those are absolutely HUGE and the turnover is high so those things are always fresh out the oil and crispy. Waters and beverages are like $5+ which is crazy. The chain stuff like pizza pizza and chicken tendies are like $25+ which is also egregious. Stay away from any of the food except the funnel cakes if you're on a budget. If you get super thirsty, then get a frozen lemonade/iced capp from the Timmie's near the medieval gate entrance.

I went here for a work event we rented out the catering space behind the theatre near the entrance. The organizer at Wonderland was easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. The food was what I expected for theme park grade. It was served as a buffet. I do wish the water was more clearly outlined on the drink machine and that there were juice options instead of just pop. The day we went happened to be the start of a kids event featuring costumed marvel and treehouse characters. Wonderland has a great kiddy section with many newer rides and a snoopy land. For the adults, there were rides of all different types, for casual or thrill seekers. I was disappointed that the former Top Gun coaster was closed for repair. We enjoyed the former tomb raider ride, cyclone and the former Italian job ride though miss the theatrics of the fire and the taxi that came out of no where that previously were part of the ride. We also made it to the water park. Locker rental was expensive $25 for a small locker. The water park itself has a bit of a weird smell, however, it was a heat wave day and we were just happy to have an aquatic respite. Overall we had a fun day and would return.

Canada's Wonderland has the potential to have so much promise. A big park with many rides catering to the very young, and the young at heart. They have big thrill-seeking rides, as well as tamer rides for those who do not enjoy roller coasters. Their kidsville is massive, and has a plethora of rides geared to very young kids. Snoopyville is a hoot as well. I docked two stars because it is so incredibly busy, that you have to wait an hour or two hours for every ride. The only way to bypass this is to purchase a $200 fast pass. Many of the staff look bitter and jaded, do not help you and have an attitude problem. The best part of this park for me was kidsville and snoopyville, primarily because the lines are shorter. Waiting in line all day is certainly not my idea of fun, and I am hoping this park can come up with a solution to remedy the long lines. You even have to line up to enter the park, and that takes 20-30 minutes during the work week. Imagine the lines on the weekend! I recommend that each ride show the wait time, as now only the roller coasters do. Showcasing wait times would help customers to know how long their poor feet need to stand for under the blazing sun.

Too much people at alpen fury, I think they should give me fast pass. The single rider lane is way too long and I think that they should allow 2 single riders on at a time. And they should be a lot nicer to their customers.

Date of Visit: July 24, 2025 Our first trip to Canada was sadly ruined by our experience at Canada's Wonderland. On 7/24/25, we arrived at the park and purchased tickets at 6:32 PM, spending $39.95 for parking and $195.44 for three guests. After enjoying just one ride, we were told to leave immediately due to inclement weather. That part we understand safety first but we were not offered any refund, nor any option to return and experience what we paid for. In total, we spent over $235 for one ride and were kicked out shortly after entry. The following day (7/25/25), we called to speak with someone about the situation. We were connected with a representative named Kristen, who was extremely rude, unprofessional, and dismissive. Kristen refused to listen to my wife's concerns and repeatedly interrupted her, insisting, "The website says no refunds," even though we were not asking for a refund, we simply wanted the opportunity to come back and enjoy the park another day. When we asked to speak with a supervisor, Kristen placed us on hold for an extended time and later claimed her shift lead was Candice, who refused to speak with us directly. Kristen returned to the line and kept repeating the same script over and over. When we informed her that we were recording the call, she threatened to hang up, then backtracked and again reiterated their no-refund policy without offering any empathy, courtesy, or alternative solution. To make matters worse, we also noticed that the Go-Kart attraction requires an extra $12 per person, even though we already paid for "all-day rides." That's misleading, especially for families already paying premium entry fees. Bottom Line: * Overpriced with no guest protection for weather closures * Zero accountability, no goodwill or raincheck * Terrible customer service from Kristen, and Candice's refusal to speak was inexcusable * Misleading pricing on Go-Karts * Left us feeling taken advantage of as first-time visitors Avoid Canada's Wonderland. They take your money, kick you off the property, and offer nothing in return not even common decency. Candice and Kristen need serious retraining or replacement. This was not just disappointing! it was a blatant rip-off.

Very nice park! We did the Halloween haunt fest . It was so much fun. I recommend it. Just don't take any bags with you. They have a size policy and unfortunately I had to leave my purse in the car. We tried the funnel cake, hot dog and other yummy snacks.

Mac and cheese is so good, recommend behemoth Alpen Fury is aggressive. But this is the best theme park.

Canada's Wonderland is an amusement park perfect for family. It's located in Vaughan, just north of Toronto, features more than 200 attractions including 18 roller coasters, two children's areas, and Splash Works, the 20-acre water park. It's like the equivalent of SixFlags. It was my first time here and came during the 4th of July holiday weekend and spend the entire day. General admission and annual holder passes have fair prices. Majority of the lines for rides were relatively modest and moves pretty quickly. Food and drinks prices were quite expensive as well as their souvenir merchandise. Parking lot was massive. Overall, I had a memorable and fun time at this amusement theme park.

Went here during Labour Day long weekend and it was packed! Not a huge fan of roller coasters with big drops so we spent most of our time in the water park. The slides were fun, but the lineups were long. Unfortunately the wave pool wasn't operating the actual waves because there were so many people. I would come back to try the lazy river! I did go on The Vortex and Thunder Run (my fave). Despite the long lines (an hour each to get on a ride) I still had a thrilling experience. Food wise, it is expensive eating at the park. We had pizza pizza and then burgers and hot dogs for dinner, which were not bad! If you have time to pack a picnic to have in the parking lot I would suggest it. They don't allow it inside the park though. The fireworks at night were a nice touch at the end of a long day. Getting out of the parking lot afterwards though was a pain - took over an hour lol.

I think overall we had a great time, but we'd make adjustments for next year to avoid just how bad this place is for our wallets. Maybe everyone already knows how much of a cash grab this park is, but as early 30-somethings we didn't realize how bad it had become. Everything is horribly marked up, everything. I'm not sure it's too bad if you have small kids, because some things are discounted or free. The Food: ------ Not great. The subway my wife and I had was terrible, way less filling and way more expensive. 0/10 would not recommend. The Dip n' Dots were just the best, nostalgic cup of childhood. It was great and I remember for a while the park didn't have any. So it was really nice to have them again next to the Coke cool zone. That being said, next time I'm having them after the rides. The Rides ------ Pretty fun. I had the horrible realization that I wasn't always brave on rides and might have struggled to get on the teacups. Maybe. But once I did, I realized how much I loved rides and we went on a good chunk of them. Nightmares was the best and also a nightmare. If you stand on the outside part, it kind of feels like you're going to get thrown out of the ride and die. Tea cups were my favourite. We went on them like 6 times, despite the fact that the cups have no cushion and hurt a lot. Overall: It's all fun, but expensive. Next time we're eating beforehand and finding a better food alternative. 7.5/10 fun but pricey.

Time for an update review after my first one in 2010! I love going to Canada's Wonderland even after all these years. There are so many more than just rides when you visit CW. There are shows, activities and different festivals. Different celebrations including Canada's Day, Octoberfest, Kid's Event, Theme Tasting Weekend, Halloween, Christmas... I usually come on weekdays, if you want to get on rides. For special occasions, the Park can be so crowded. Stay away when they have fireworks! Season pass with meal/drink plans probably the best options if you will visit the park more than 3 times. Food has improved a lot, especially with Lazy Bear Lounge opened last year (their smoked chicken is so good! and plenty of seating too!) Now going to CW is part of my Summer's ritual. But yes, they open for Winterfest till end of December!

Waterpark was closed when it said it was available online, tried to get a refund but couldn't. This is bad, knowing half of the group I was in only came for the waterpark. We ended up skipping all the rides because the other person and I aren't fans of rides.

Cool shows with cute decorations! I absolutely adore the decorations and flowers and all that other jazz throughout the park. Lovely, I tell ya. Service is also decent, not too much and not too little. Service in the kiddo area can get a little rude though, sometimes it's best to stay out of there. Architecture is fantastic and rides aren't boring, exciting and jittery. Food is also tasty, I enjoyed my ice cream cone very much. A nice place in Canada for family fun.

The food is amazing but expensive The rider Gray, but it gets boring sometimes. And it's cool

Will come at least one time in a year for my daughter. Hahahah. The ride is fun for her. She love it. The food and drinks are too expensive but is ok. I totally understand. My daughter ate a lot. She loves all the rides.

The food wasn't all that good but for the dining plan you definitely get your moneys worth. I wish there was more variety for food as 2-3 menu items were always the same with exceptions. Manchu Wok was pretty bad though not gonna lie, maybe got a bad batch! However the rides are absolutely insane, besides the lines which are tough to get rid of it's just an unreal experience and totally worth it, especially the season pass!

Lets go they said, but the These rides got me screaming, laughing and head spinning ‍!! Had a great time with friends and family but as a person who doesn't do well with heights this was scary, adrenaline pumping and constant swearing.

canada's wonderland is great we have a seasons pass and we go there at least 5 times each summer

I feel so lucky to have a world-class amusement park in Vaughan. The rides are best-in-class to rival and Six Flags, and there's an amazing new ride coming in 2025. I find the food over-priced, but I do have a meal plan since I go often. If you can get there early in the morning, the lines are shorter. Also a fantastic kids area.

A world class theme park that isn't too far away from Toronto. There are great rides for little kids and adults. If you are a fan of roller coasters, then there are some top-tier ones at this park. In 2025 there's an even more epic ride being released, which stacks the ride count even more. The food can be pricey, like all theme parks, so be ready for that. Try to go in the morning when the lines are smaller.

I feel so lucky to live relatively close to a world-class theme park. While the food is expensive (like all theme parks), the rides are really great. From kiddie rides to coasters, the park has a fantastic assortment of attractions.

Such a fantastic theme park in Vaughan. Great rides for little kids, and lots of excellent roller coasters for thrill seekers. Food can be a bit on the pricey side.

One of my favourite parks in all of the world however pizza is very expensive like I could get a pizza for way less at a different place. However, the rides back this up, Leviathan is easily the top tier of the park.

I have been to Canada's Wonderland (waterpark & rides) multiple times during summertime, but this was my first time attending the Winter Fest. I was amazed by how much effort has been put in place for the decorations and lightings. I loved it all. The kidZville was the most crowded spot here. All the rides were open and kids were enjoying their time. They also have a few rides for adults. It's an old tradition of ours to have a Funnel Cake every time we go here and we tried the gingerbread funnel cake this time. I would say I like the Strawberry Funnel Cake better.

Well, a day to definitely remember. We used the Perkopolis membership to take advantage of the Perkopolis Day at Canada's Wonderland, and was it the best decision ever to visit a theme park on this day! The park has a huge parking spread throughout. We got the parking space pretty close to the entrance. It's a $25 parking fee (tax included). There are several lanes to the entrance and on this specific day we didn't see any line ups. You enter to this magnificent view of the mountain with a beautiful waterfall and a small pond/lake with several stores and eateries around. Then come the rides; oh boy, were these rides breathtaking, I'd say they were amazing! Especially the Leviathan, Yukon Striker, Flight Deck, The Bat, etc. And don't underestimate the Mighty Canadian Minebusters's woody looks! There are some mild rides as well for the not so brave, like the Merry Go Round, etc. Plenty of options for having a meal and even beer. Slightly expensive beer though. In all, it was an amazing day full of thrill and wonder. I highly recommend this park, especially on a weekday. Weekends can lead to thousands of people lining up at the rides with wait times for rides like Leviathan upto 1.5 hours.

Great park with lots of fun rides. Can get quite busy when weather is nice leading to long queues for popular rides but that is to be expected.

We went to Wonderland for the first time in years. We took two kids (teens) that have never been and we had a blast. We didnt get the fast pass so we saw those pass holders go thru lines quick, but it's expensive to have a whole family for fast pass. It didn't bother us because we had a blast and made core memories. We choose not to eat in the park which was great, the lines to get in the park moved quick that day. We got funnel cakes and played games. It was a fun day overall. It's nice to see Wonderland update and make changes. The only thing that was nuts was the Waterpark, 30$ for a locker and the lines were long. We did the black hole and then wave pool which cooled us off. Fun family day.

We're back, and we're in line, and we ride, and had a really, really, really good time. Canada's Wonderland has re-opened after a 1.5 year hiatus allowing visitors and season passholders alike to rejoice! The rides are back in action. The lines become more packed throughout the day following the new reservation system. All of the outdoor thrill and kids rides seem to be open whereas the indoor rides have stayed closed which is understandable. The kids are pleased just to be able to enjoy their favourite rides again spaced out from other park guests. The food stalls are also reduced with the lower number of visitors permitted inside, so be prepared to trek around for an open option. You can definitely tell based on the available spots in the parking lot and shorter lines. They're still working out some kinks for the rides & live shows, so let's hope it gets better from here! For safety measures, face masks are required except when dining or at the water park. It can get hot but if folks in DisneyWorld can put up with it, who are we to complain about the extra precaution. The park and rides are all at reduced capacity at the moment, which may perhaps expand after the next reopening phase in Ontario.

If you like being shoulder to shoulder all day in mass crowds and 4hr lineups for a single roller coaster, this is the place for you. Also I hope you like lining up for everything, I mean everything! They let too many ppl into this zoo due to greed and it has lost all its magic from when I was a child. Be prepared to spend lots of money in this nightmare as well, and you'll receive little back from it. (Food is shite and overpriced, and beer is $14 and you don't even get the can, it comes in a plastic crap cup and gets as warm as coffee in 5mins) Men, listen to me, the wife and kids are going to try to drag you here. Do whatever you can to try to get out of it, you'll enjoy not even one second of the day and you'll spend $400+gas+$25parking+food/drinks)

This is one of the best experiences EVER. It is worth driving for days to come here. My favorite is Backlot Stunt Coaster. It is fast and it has a tunnel. The food here is awesome. Everything is awesome. JUST GO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF!

Went to Winterfest for my first time yesterday evening & had a great time!! They put a lot of work into putting up a lot of Christmas decorations. There is also a lot of Christmas characters including well known ones such as Snoopy and Charlie Brown & Co. Tons of shows and a ice skating rink (additional fee). Had dinner at the Bear Lodge & the food was surprisingly good. Choice of entree (turkey skewer, pork chop, chicken tenders, impossible shepherds pie, 240 hour slow cooked Montreal smoked meat), choice of side (vegetables, mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, Mac & cheese, & others) plus a savoury bun for $19.99. We ended staying longer than planned since the little one was having such a good time. It was his first time on rides. Oh yeah, select rides were open and included I'm the admission price. Would definitely recommend!

Went at 10 am on a Saturday in August. Line up for Yukon Striker for example was like 15 to 20 mins. Pretty good, considering that an hour later they had to extend the queue and now you're looking at 40 to 60+ min waits for just about anything. There isn't much you can do about wait times. Maybe coming during the weekday, avoiding summer maybe? Fast pass is also an option if it's within your budget, but not all rides have them so you should check the list beforehand. Brought an umbrella and it was a pretty good decision, given how long you'd be standing in the sun. Some rides have an area past the entrance where you can put your stuff aside. Other rides don't and you'd have to leave it in a locker or a non-rider. For public transit users, there's a YRT bus that stops at finch station and richmond hill centre that goes to vaughan mills and then right into wonderland.

I'm writing this review as I'm waiting in line to get on the Leviathan! It's 2021. Lockdown is on stage 3. Wonderland is open but you need to reserve a spot beforehand. Park is not as crowded as it used to be which is a plus if you ask me. I strongly recommend 2021 season pass. There aren't many places to go to during summer. Plus your 2021 season pass is valid for 2022 as well! Yep you heard that right! Get a Golden pass now it's a no brainer!

They sold us the 2023 meal plan for our son (on our last visit of the year last year) instead of the 2024 meal plan and then when we showed up this year we waited an hour in line only to be told "no" to it being transferred. I was given a card and told to take it up with customer service only to be told "Thank you for contacting Canada's Wonderland. Unfortunately, because the dining pass was bought for last year, due to our policy of No Refunds No Transfers and No Rainchecks, we won't be able to issue a refund." At this point we've spent over $1000 here. This was an obvious and easy mistake to fix. They can see records and receipts of everything. They're choosing to have bad customer service. They don't care.

I went there yesterday and I loved my experience. I reserved an All-Day pass for myself and it was pricey but worth it! The visitors looked happy and excited after or before they went on the rides. The staff were nice and always ready to help out. The rides there were amazing and I liked the roller coasters especially the big ones like Dragon Fyre or Levathian. The food there was good and I liked my time there. The place was clean even though there were so many people! I definitely will come back here again!

Biggest amusement park near the Toronto area! Great rides, food, and excitement for people of all ages. I admire that there are events during different seasons - Christmas, Halloween, and the usual spring/summer schedule. I used to visit as a child with my parents and now I bring my children here. The funnel cakes are popular and there is a children's area as well for those families looking for family friendly experiences.

Fantastic day of fun!!! Took my kids for the first time. My partner and I haven't been here in years. There's so many new rides, and a lot of kid friendly rides in Planet Snoopy. We also enjoyed a magic show and water diving show! We spent the whole day here and the park is so big, we never ran out of things to do. Also!!!! My partner won a giant squirtle for me which was the cherry on top!! Logistically dont try to win it tho if you dont have room in your car lol. Just as we were about to drive home my MIL's car wouldn't start :'( This is when Arjun (security at wonderland) came to the rescue!!!! He had us fill a short form and then jump started her car. He helped us big time and stopped what could have turned into a sour night. Thanks again Arjun!!!
