Best Theme Park

I go to Wonderland every year. It never gets old. It is such a cool park and with the addition of Behemoth it is even better. It you like rides and food, definitely go to Canada's Wonderland.

In the heart of Toronto's Downtown, just off Dundas en route to the Eaton Centre, lies an interesting way to spend the afternoon: the Textile Museum of Canada.

I hadn't really been aware of what to expect when I made my way inside but (once I had dodged past two enormous hairy dogs!) I was really glad I went! The exhibitions change every so often and when I was there I loved what I saw.

One of the most interesting things was clothing made from salmon skin especially for the museum. I couldn't believe anything so intricate could come from the scales of a fish!

Cloths that Shook the World was a great exhibition - it paired cloth with major world events and described how it led to revolutions and, in turn, was inspired by troubled times. Upstairs, the indigo exhibition gave an insight into the colour blue used in cloth that really made one think.

It was relatively inexpensive to get into the museum - $10 for an adult and $6 for students, with Wednesday evenings being Pay What You Can. For fashionistas and indeed any art lovers, it was well worth seeing this and spending at least an hour inside!

Canada's Wonderland

A great place to go...if you don't hate queueing! Canada's Wonderland is an immense theme park, well outside of Toronto. If you're going, set aside a whole day because by the time you line up and go on each ride, the park will be ready to close.

We arrived via the 165A bus - a bad idea because, as it winds its way along suburban streets and industrial buildings, the journey takes almost an hour. Much better was the Go! bus that brought us back to Yorkdale Station, from where downtown Toronto was just subway stops away.

Entry to Wonderland costs around $60, so if you're going more than once (and you'll need to, given the size of the park!) a $90 season pass may make more sense. Once inside there's something for everyone - children and toddlers are well entertained in Kidzville while thrill seekers can be scared witless on one of the many crazy rollercoasters - fancy backwards loop the loops??? The water rides were brilliant (bring a bathing suit!) but the lines long and cold in anything but the warmest weather! We were glad to take refuge from the high heat at the ice skating show, where totally amazing world class ice dancers wowed avid audiences for half an hour three times a day.

The park ticket won't let you bring food inside the grounds but the grass outside is a good place to picnic and avoid the extortionate food outlet prices.

Wonderland would be a great, albeit pricey, place for a family day out. But get there early and stay pretty late to avoid the long queues and get the most from the park!

It reminded me of Orlando in a smaller, less crowded version. It was very inexpensive considering all the rides are included once you pay the admission.

Paramount Canada's Wonderland

It's not Walt Disney World or Universal Studios Orlando, but it's more affordable and is close to home for the people who live in the Toronto area. On very busy days you'll spend quite a bit of time waiting in line, but I think all amusement parks are like that.

As for the variety and intensity of the rides, it really does vary. There are rides like Drop Zone that drop you like a free fall, and typical roller coasters. With the ticket price, you also have access to a full-fledged water park. This is especially nice if you have really young ones, and just want to sit and relax a bit.
