Canada's Wonderland
Vaughan, Canada
Canada's Wonderland is an amusement park in Vaughan, Ontario, a municipality within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The 330-acre (130 ha) park features various attractions and rides in several themed areas, as well as a 20-acre (8.1 ha) water park named Splash Works. In 2022, it was the most visited seasonal amusement park in North America, with an estimated 3.8 million guests. Opened in 1981 by the Taft Broadcasting Company and the Great-West Life Assurance Company, Canada's Wonderland was the first major theme park in Canada and remains the country's largest. In 1993, part-owner Paramount Parks acquired full ownership and renamed the park Paramount Canada's Wonderland. Paramount was dropped from the name in 2007, a season after Paramount Parks was acquired by Cedar Fair. Following the 2024 merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags, Canada's Wonderland is under the ownership of Six Flags. Canada's Wonderland operates seasonally from spring through Labour Day in the fall, and then on select dates until early January. Special events are held throughout the season, including Halloween Haunt, WinterFest, and various festivals such as Celebration Canada, a month-long Canada Day festival. Among the park's 68 attractions, it features 18 roller coasters, which is tied for second-most among amusement parks worldwide.
