Canada’s oft-loved nickname is “The Great White North”, because of the sizeable amount of snow within the country. The second largest country in the world, it stretches from the United States to the Arctic Circle in the north. Canada’s Arctic archipelago is so cold that it receives very few visitors yearly. Other parts of Canada are also equally blessed with rugged white snow, except not in such large swathes. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Quebec City are major cities with their distinct, unique features. Urban Toronto is a metropolis, a city with its skyline flanked by skyscrapers while Vancouver, surrounded by mountains has a thriving theatre scene. French-speaking Montreal and Quebec City are diverse melting pots. If you’re there to seek the thrill of rollercoasters, then Canada has no lack of theme parks and amusement parks that will delight both children and the young at heart. Read on to find out where are the top theme parks and amusement parks in Canada.
1. Canada's Wonderland
The largest theme park in Canada, this wonderland is home to more than 200 attractions. The Leviathan is the tallest at 306 feet (93 meters) and the fastest 91 mph (148 km/h) ride in here. If you have no fear of heights, the Leviathan was built for you. A fun new ride for two persons called “The Sling Shot” will catapult riders up high, before suspending them temporarily, then a fast descent follows. Apart from the rides, Wonderland also has special events seasonally.
