La Ronde Amusement Park
Add some thrilling memories to your trip with a visit to La Ronde amusement park

When travelling with children it is important to schedule in activities which are fun for them too. Movies, water parks, amusement parks and outdoor activities are always fun for children and for parents too. Montreal has the second largest amusement park in Canada called La Ronde. This amusement park is situated on the eastern tip of Saint Helen's Island and is a trip not to be missed by those travelling with children or for those who simply never want to grow old.
The park is open to visitors from the middle of May until the end of October and not all year round due to winter so be sure to only visit in summer months. The winter cold and the subsequent ice and snow make many of the rides dangerous or simply unpleasant. If you plan to go towards the end of October you will be able to attend the Halloween celebrations at the park called La Ronde's Halloween Fright Fest. It truly is a thrilling festival which includes an impressively scary haunted house with performers dressed up in elaborate costumes scarring people around the park.
For adrenaline junkies you will be happy to know that there are 10 roller coaster within the park and more than 40 rides. La Ronde is also home to one of the highest double-tracked roller coaster in the world! Le Monstre is a 40-metre double-tracked roller coaster and is guaranteed to satisfy even the most ardent thrill seeker. It is not all thrills and spills though. There are rides available for people of all ages and thrill seeking levels.
If you are travelling with small children you will be relieved to know that there are strollers available for rent at the park. In addition, you can rent lockers to keep your belongings in while you enjoy the rides. There are also several ATMs within the grounds of the park, just in case you need cash.

La Ronde Amusement Park Reviews
Rated
I visited La Ronde in 2023, and it was an absolute blast! As one of Canada's best amusement parks, it offers a great mix of adrenaline-pumping rides, family-friendly attractions, and beautiful views of Montreal.
The roller coasters were the highlight of my trip-Goliath was a must-ride with its intense drops and speed, while Vampire gave an exhilarating suspended coaster experience.
There were also plenty of classic rides and fun attractions for all ages. The fireworks show at night added a magical touch to the visit, making it an unforgettable experience.
The park was well-maintained, and while lines could be long at times, the wait was worth it. Food options were decent, though a bit pricey (as expected at theme parks). I'd recommend getting a Flash Pass if you want to maximize your time and hit all the major rides.
Overall, La Ronde delivered an exciting day filled with fun, thrills, and great memories. If you're in Montreal and love amusement parks, this is a must-visit! I'd definitely go back!

I went with my boyfriend on a Sunday and this is how it went:
Disappointing Experience at La Ronde
1. Terrible Parking Situation
There was absolutely no signage to indicate where the park entrance or parking areas were. We ended up having to park about 15 minutes away, with no clear or safe way to walk to the park. It was a frustrating way to start the day.
2. Chaotic Crowd Control
The park was overrun with kids cutting in line and completely ignoring the rules. There was little to no enforcement from staff, which made the whole experience feel disorganized and stressful.
3. Lack of English Support & Poor Staff Efficiency
All the signage was in French, and most of the employees we encountered couldn’t speak English, making it really difficult to ask questions or order food. To make things worse, there were six workers standing around doing nothing while only one person handled food orders, causing long and unnecessary wait times.
4. Dirty, Smelly Bathrooms
The bathrooms were in terrible condition. They smelled awful and clearly weren’t being cleaned regularly, which made the whole place feel unhygienic.
5. Ride Breakdown After Long Wait
We waited in line for two hours to get on a ride, only to be told to get off as soon as we were seated because of technical issues. While we understand that safety comes first, it was extremely frustrating to waste that much time with no warning or compensation.

New Review
The kids working here, especially at the entrance, need to be more patient.
This time, lines seem slower with fewer people.
Eat before you go, way too expensive.
We brought the car this time but next time we will not. It is not worth it.
The washrooms are still disgusting.
Old Review
The lines for the roller coasters were extremely long.
Quite a few rides were not functioning.
It happened 3 times that we were waiting in line, and the roller coasters had technical problems, and we were given the option to wait or leave. Not knowing how long it will take, we left because we wanted to do the slingshot before leaving.
The washrooms are soooooooo dirty and I had to let a girl working there know that the soap dispenser isn't working and she came to look at it, poured soap into my hands and then notified someone to come fix it which I appreciated.
The girl working at the souvenir shop close to the entrance around 13h was so rude but the tall boy working there was so friendly.
Another issue with the park is how many seagulls there are!
The prices are too high for anything you can possibly want or need

It is really the top destination in Montreal. We spend countless hours here. You need to buy membership card. It gets busy most of the time but depending on weather you can easily go through all rides. There are some scary attractions but they are definitely fun. You need whole day to spend here. There is a plenty of parking, restaurants, ice cream. There are accessible entrances and a lot of walking inside.

Visited La Ronde again this year on May 17th and while there were some ups and downs it was still a good time overall!!! Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side for safety most rides had to shut down during the storm which was understandable. The good part? Once the rain stopped and the sun came out the rides reopened pretty quickly than expected so props to the staff for being on top of it(y’all are amazing!)
I was still able to go on almost every ride I wanted: Manitou, Titan, Bateau Pirate, Phoenix, Vampire, Goliath, Dragon, bumper cars, sadly I skipped Ednör at the last minute maybe next time
The lines were surprisingly short around 5 to 7 minutes max, though a few had technical delays (likely due to the rain and the stormy day before). Still it didn’t ruin the vibe and it honestly felt like the rides hit harder this year more force more fun and
Staff were polite and kind and the park overall was clean just a little wet from the rain of course
The downside? The food was bland(maybe cause I was sick due to the rain😭) and a little bit expensive that definitely took a few points off the experience.
I used my Gold Pass for this visit, so it felt worth it overall. If it hadn’t been for the weather and the food, I’d probably rate it higher — maybe a 9 like last year. But with everything considered, it’s 7.5/10 for this round(I STILL LOVE LA RONDE🫶)
Still I’m absolutely planning to return(the whole entire summer)!! :))
