La Ronde
La Ronde (Six Flags)
Quebec's largest amusement park, at the northern tip of Sainte-Hélène Island, with more than 40 rides, a classic wooden roller coaster and a summer international fireworks competition.
La Ronde was built for Expo 67 and is now owned by Six Flags. It is Quebec's largest amusement park, with more than 40 rides, including the classic wooden roller coaster Le Monstre and several steel coasters. The Montreal International Fireworks Competition takes place over the park's lake in July and August, one of the city's major summer events. You can also watch it for free from the Old Port or from the Jacques-Cartier Bridge. Day passes cost about CA$50 to 70, and tickets bought online are cheaper.
