At the heart of the park stands the iconic Wonder Mountain, an artificial 18-meter mountain that serves as both the park's centerpiece and a functional cooling system. This engineering marvel houses the Wonder Mountain's Guardian interactive dark ride while its cool water flows through underground pipes to air condition the entire park.
๐ Two Parks in One
The adventure doesn't end with dry rides - Splash Works, the park's 20-acre water park, features over 16 aquatic attractions including Canada's largest outdoor wave pool, lazy rivers, and thrilling water slides. This massive water wonderland is included with park admission, making Wonderland a complete summer destination.
