Paramount Canada's Wonderland

Paramount Canada's Wonderland

This amusement park was definitely worth the amount we paid to enter. There were no lines due to the fact we visited on a American holiday, not a Canadian holiday. The staff was pretty friendly and always seemed willing to help out in any way, and the park was very clean, which of course is always a large plus in my book.

One thing I have to admit is the exits for the park are not clearly marked, so keep a close eye out as you may have to turn around several times to make it to the park. All in all, not a bad park indeed.

I highly recommend Canada's Wonderland, but what I notice is that a lot of people take food coolers and picnics just outside the park on picnic tables or the grass. The food sold at the park is good and plentiful, but quite pricey. I love the rides as there is such a great mix. There are usually shows and there is an aquarium that has shows as well.

I went with my husband and my little sister (she was acting as our excuse to go...she was 17 at the time so I don't think it convinced anyone!) The lineups may be bad on the best summer days, especially on long weekends, so if you plan on visiting this on your vacation, do find out about the holidays and come on a regular weekday!

There is a bus/subway combination that you can take there--ask TTC (Toronto Transit Commission, the local public transit) but if you have a car, that's a lot faster, probably not less expensive though with parking and stuff.

The roller coasters are amazing--especially the one that takes you first up and then whisks you down via a corkscrew up to another side; stop and then the same corkscrew back your back first...

The food is horrible and expensive and you need to walk a bit, but if you love roller coasters, this is your spot.

There is a fun looking water park too, but I never had time to try that but you might want to take your swimming suit with you.

Now that I live in Toronto I thought I would be practically living at Wonderland, but I don't, probably comes with having more responsibilities than when I am on vacation. This park is definetly based on thrill rides, or some form of roller coaster.

I remember coming to Toronto for a few days before going to Disney World for our honeymoon, we went to Wonderland and had an awesome time on all the roller coasters, once we were in Florida we were disappointed at the lack of thrill rides throughout the different Disney parks. The one day at Wonderland gave more thrills than all of Disney World put together. (That being said, I do love the variety that Disney has to offer and its just that Disney makes up in other places where Wonderland lacks).

Wonderland is usually always busy, although the best times to come are weekday evenings if you are looking for limited crowds. There are always different shows going on but most of them are designed mainly for younger children. The grounds are clean and there are always lots of employees around to answer your questions.

Just in case you haven't heard, parents should stick close to their kids, this summer there was a man who hid in one of the male washrooms and sexually abused two young boys in the same weekend. Now, I haven't heard many stories of this happening, but of course it is possible anywhere. Personally, I would get my son to accompany me into the women's washroom. You never know what sickos are out there.

Of course, as with any amusement parks the food and drinks are more expensive if you purchase from vendors in the park. Wonderland has picnic tables outside of the gate and you are allowed to bring your own food (they say just no glass containers). For food onsite, they have all the regulars, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, nachos, french fries, donuts, etc. The one thing I do recommend are the Funnel Cakes. I don't know exactly, but they look like pancake batter that is fried and you can have it topped with ice cream or some type of fruit...um..um..they are good!!

If you are visiting and travel with the family pet, they do have an air-conditioned kennel service near the front gate to help you out. There is lots of parking, and I can't quite remember, but it does cost between $5 and $10 for the day. There is transit service to the park for those without cars, the cost is $4/pp one way. Please see http://www.gotransit.ca for more information.

Well, there are over 60 thrill rides and Slashworks, the water park, is a big bonus, especially on those hot dog days in T.O. If you come to Toronto and are into roller coasters you should definetly put this place on your To Do list.
