The most popular of the amusement parks in Canada is Paramount Canada's Wonderland. This park frequently gets the most visitors of any seasonal park in North America. One reason is its numbers of wild rides. For younger kids, the television characters are very exciting. You can see Fred Flinstone, SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer. There are often rides starring these characters that are more popular among younger children. There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well. What's more, the admission to the park includes the nearby Splash Works.
Another popular theme park is Galaxyland Amusement Park. Amusement park's fun shouldn't be limited to just the summer months, and Galaxyland is aware of this. As the world's largest indoor amusement park, Galaxyland packs in it 25 breathtaking rides and attractions. It is also home to one of the world's largest indoor roller coasters. Galaxyland remains one of the most popular theme parks in Canada for older children because of attractions like the Rock 'N' Ride Dance Party. This party combines music, music videos and unlimited rides from 8 pm to midnight.
One of the most visited amusement parks in Canada on the west coast is Playland. Playland, unlike other Canadian theme parks, has a long history in its city. Playland has all the fun of a carnival, with scary houses, merrygorounds (旋转木马) and a ferris wheel. There are also modern additions in the park, like a climbing wall for kids and a video game room. Playland is open from spring through fall, though only on weekends and holidays before June 18 and after September 1st.
