Canada's Wonderland
Canada's largest theme park, with roller coasters among the most numerous in the world. It also has a water park that opens in summer.
Canada's Wonderland opened in 1981 in the city of Vaughan, north of Toronto. It is Canada's largest theme park, with about 17 roller coasters, among the most of any park in the world. Its flagship rides include Leviathan, a giant roller coaster about 93 meters tall; Behemoth; and Yukon Striker, a high-speed launch coaster that is one of the longest and tallest dive coasters in the world. There is also a children's themed area and a water park that opens in summer. Tickets bought online cost about CAD 60 to 80, and season passes are a better deal (check the official website). It generally operates from May to late October. From downtown, take subway Line 1 to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station and transfer to a bus, about 1 hour in total. Driving takes about 40 minutes.
