Ontario place - Toronto
Ontario Place is a multiple use entertainment and seasonal amusement park owned by the Province of Ontario. Located on the shore of Lake Ontario, just south of Exhibition Place, it is approximately 4 km west of downtown Toronto.
Opened in 1971, it consists of three artificially constructed, landscaped islands. Attractions are spread throughout the park
This was 148 kms drive for us. I have a backup driver now, so mostly sit and guide(not yet relax) ;)
Parents can enjoy water slides with their family, while kids are the stars with all the rides open for them. Even toddlers have a seperate area where they have their own mind games. In the evenings chinese lanterns are lit and it looks awesome.

We mostly enjoyed the water slides which were of a lil thrill, most other rides were simply for kids. This is the place for family to have fun together. A must visit for people with kids if you happen to visit Toronto.
