Ontario Place

955 Lakeshore Boulevard West
Toronto Harbourfront

From May to October, the place to be on the Toronto harbourfront is Ontario Place, a huge, futuristic theme-park built on stilts and small islands. Located a couple of miles east of downtown Toronto, the park features an IMAX theatre and a concert theatre (Molson Amphitheatre).

Built in 1971 to revitalize the Toronto waterfront area, Ontario Place covers three islands with five steel and aluminum pod structures called “pavilions”, which are connected by steel bridges. The three islands: East Island, Centre Island and West Island, offer their own attractions. Ontario Place features amusement park rides, a waterpark playground with a heated waterslide, an Imax Cinema and harbourside restaurants with great views of downtown Toronto. The Atlantis Pavilion offers a new theatre and a large restaurant where you can enjoy an economically priced meal.

A play all summer pass at Ontario Place for $49 per person includes free admission to the CNE, (the equivalent of free CNE tickets). The play all summer pass also includes unlimited visits to Soak City and 30 other rides and attractions. Tickets to the Omnimax IMAX Theatre are not included. Currently, Ontario Place is not included in the Toronto Citypass booklet.

Ontario Place is a perfect spot for kids and a great complement to other major Toronto attractions. Molson Amphitheatre is a top location for summer concerts with major music icons making appearances in summer 2008.
