Canada's Wonderland overview
Canada's Wonderland at a glance
Canada's largest theme park, near Toronto, built around a man-made mountain.
Canada's Wonderland arranges 17 coasters around a 45-metre artificial mountain with a waterfall running down it. Leviathan and Behemoth are both 70-metre-plus giants from B&M, Yukon Striker is the world's longest dive coaster, and Wonder Mountain's Guardian is the longest interactive dark ride of its type.
Splash Works is included with admission, which makes a Toronto summer visit far better value than the gate price suggests.
Our editor's recommendation
Yes, if you already have a reason to be in the region. It ranks #23 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.5/10 with 68 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 8 hours. Tickets run $33–$64 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its big-ticket thrill rides. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get, and queues average around 17 minutes. Best time to visit: Summer.
