2. Galaxyland, Edmonton
The biggest indoor amusement park in the world, Galaxyland in West Edmonton Mall, has more than 27 thrilling rides, attractions, and play spaces for kids of all ages. A four-story indoor jungle gym and the world’s largest indoor triple-loop roller coaster, Mindbender, are both located in the space-themed park.
Skee-ball and other arcade games are available for participation by everyone. The new Lazer Vault puts everyone’s coordination and competitive nature to the test, regardless matter whether your family is the model of cooperation or rivalry reigns supreme.
Since it first opened in 1985, Galaxyland has won numerous guest choice awards and is regarded as one of Canada’s greatest theme parks. The park is open every day of the year, which is an added benefit.
3. Canada’s Wonderland, Vaughan, Ontario
With 330 acres of space, Canada’s Wonderland is the largest theme park in the nation and one of the most popular in all of North America. There are more than 200 attractions, 69 rides, and 15 roller coasters in the park. And if it’s scorching outside, you can cool off at the 20-acre Splash Works waterpark.
An adrenaline junkie? Test your mettle by riding Leviathan, one of Canada’s most terrifying roller coasters. It is the highest and fastest building in the nation (306 feet tall and above 80 mph).
When maneuvering through 360-degree twists 135 feet in the air, Skyhawk riders may control their cockpit. Little children are the target audience for the Flying Eagles ride, where two-person planes fly 28 feet above the ground under the supervision of miniature pilots.
You must ride Leviathan, possibly the biggest and scariest rollercoaster in town, which will undoubtedly put your nerve to the test.
4. La Ronde, Montreal
On 146 acres at the point of Saint Helen’s Island, just a short distance from Montreal’s lovely old harbor, La Ronde is the largest theme park in Eastern Canada. The Six Flags park offers thrill-seekers ten roller coasters to brave along with more than 40 other thrills and activities.
On La Ronde’s Goliath, one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in Canada, even the most fearless theme park visitors could experience trembling in their knees. You can also take the gut-wrenching Boomerang rollercoaster, which blasts you down three high-speed loops before boomeranging you back to the beginning. Perhaps you can ride the fast coaster Cobra to satiate your thirst for speed.
The park also has a number of family-friendly attractions, such as the Galopant, the world’s oldest wooden carousel, which was constructed in 1885.
