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 out of 5
Very kid friendly. Great themed areas for the kids sections: bugs, pirates and dinosaurs...how could you go wrong with that? Easy to get around the park. Mist being blown over you when lining up for many of the rides to keep patrons cool. Lots of rides were removed and nothing replaced them. Easy to do the entire park in a day (we went on a Friday). Finding the parking lot was a pain, but once you find it, it is close to the entrance. For a theme park the food options were surprisingly good. More of a focus on family friendly vs big coasters. Vampire was awesome!

Some rides were closed and food variety wasn’t the best, but the excitement of the park made up for it! 🎠 Ended the day with sore feet, big smiles, and lots of fun.

We went for the fireworks and since we were there to enjoy the rides too. Honestly rides weren’t as good as I thought, a lot of hitting in my head as I ride the roller coasters and also a few times I felt uncomfortable due to the way the security was holding me to the chair with my stuff and told the employees and they didn’t help me. Everyone was in a hurry, and I get it. But the vip lines?? I waited for +30min to get to a ride, finally get my turn and when I was just about to sit a large group of boys ran to all the sits available and had to wait more, they didn’t even wait. I understand that vip means no wait in line but can you at least control they don’t run?? Whatever. Three starts go for the view that was pretty, but wouldn’t come back. I go to amusement parks often but this one got me sick over the hits in my head and bad stability while riding.

Half of the rides are inoperable or in disrepair. There are abandoned buildings and rides all over the park. The food prices are astronomical. There isn’t a ton to do for the price of the ticket. The staff don’t seem to care about their job and move at a snails pace to operate the operational rides. Just disappointed.

Wonderful park attraction. The roller coasters offer thrilling experiences. For anyone seeking the ultimate rush, Goliat and Titan provide incredible sensations. Overall, the park is a great place to spend an awesome time
