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
I’ve been here many times over the last five years, and it’s a good place to spend time with friends and family. Keep in mind that you’ll probably spend the whole day there, and a lot of the time is spent waiting in line. The food is also really expensive.
If you go during the summer, use plenty of sunscreen and bring water because it gets very hot, and sometimes the lines can be over an hour long. Depending on how often you plan to go, it may be better to get a season pass.

It's prettier than the last time i was there 10 years ago. I believe that there are more rides, this time. Indeed the best and the grandest amusement park in all of Quebec 😍

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!

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.

July 2025. My family (not me) had fun going on all the roller coasters. Lines weren't too bad on a weekday (except for the toboggan nordique, that was a waste of time). A day may not be enough to get on everything (minus the kiddie rides)
