New for the season is the new cliff-jumping attraction called Mountain Bay Cliffs at Splash Works. If you dare to take the challenge, the waterpark cliff has different heights up to 25 feet, where you can jump from and plunge into the water. Canada's Wonderland. Picture time! Some rides and attractions will be closed Not every ride and attraction will be open this season due to physical distancing challenges. Family Fun , Travel. It was far away, and a long, hot day.
We also waited to take the kids until they were old enough to go on the big rides. Or at least some of the big rides. And not being in the kid land makes for a better day as an adult! We travel almost 3 hours to get there. We get on at the and just travel with no traffic jams through the GTA. We come from the east Kingston and the traffic is almost always terrible.
The volume is much less on the , and there is rarely any stopping, unlike trying to travel the through the Toronto area. Plus the park is not far once you get off the in Vaughn at the Our best visits happen when we can get to the park early. We routinely spend the night before our park visit in a hotel. This past trip we stayed in Brampton and it was a 20 minute drive to the park so we were able to get there shortly after it opened.
Be sure to search for hotels outside of Toronto or Vaughn — you may find something with a lower price in a less travelled area, but still be close to the park. We stayed at the Hampton Inn by Hilton and it was a lovely clean hotel with free parking, a pool, and free breakfast!
Arrive early! If you are a season passholder, the park opens to you at 9am — the general public opening is 10am.
Pack your gear the night before, jump in the car early and grab breakfast along the way. But the day we showed up before 10am we got on about 4 rides without there being really any lines at all. Darling Husband and I had been there together several times, and I went a lot as a kid, but neither of us had been in at least 12 years so a LOT had changed.
New rides, different restaurants, new systems. We were experiencing the park as parents, rather than kids ourselves! We did, however, take advance of the two-day ticket. I ended up being sick on the second day we planned to go awful summer cold so Darling Husband went solo with the kids, but it was still well worth it.
Darling Husband LOVES roller coasters and knew he wanted to hit up all of the news ones, as well as his old favourites. It sucks. I spent the whole first day with the kids doing kiddie rides, and he was able to spend it going on dozens of rides. I think he did one three times in a row, all within less than 10 minutes! Because he was a single rider, he got on even faster than some of the people in the Fast Lane line! I kept asking him if he felt like a total V.
We measured our daughter before the visit to see if she was tall enough for some of the rides. One of the WORST parts of Day 1, however, was when we decided to go to the water park after lunch and needed to change into our suits.
The line-ups in the bathrooms in the waterpark area were enormous , and it felt like thousands of people were queueing up in a hot, wet, crowded bathroom for the chance to pee and change into their swimsuit.
I had frustrated tears in my eyes by the time C and I had gotten changed, seriously. We ended up keeping our bathing suits on afterward, actually — and just throwing our clothes on overtop — since we dried off so quickly in the sun.
I realized this while changing into my bikini and decided to keep my knee-length leggings on over my bathing suit and wore them in the pool, down the waterslides, everything. Yes, it probably looked a little weird, but it felt amazing. We made a bunch of peanut-butter sandwiches and packed them into a cooler with ice, bottled water, juice boxes, cans of pop, and apples.
