La Ronde, Montreal

La Ronde is Montreal's premier amusement park, offering thrill-seekers and families alike an array of exciting rides and attractions. Situated on the picturesque Île Sainte-Hélène, the park was originally constructed for Expo 67, one of the most successful world's fairs of the 20th century. Today, it stands as the largest amusement park in Quebec and the second-largest in Canada.

With over 40 rides and attractions, including a range of roller coasters and a Ferris wheel, La Ronde provides entertainment for all ages. One of its most famous rides, Le Monstre, is a towering wooden coaster that holds the record as the tallest double-track roller coaster in the world. The park also features Goliath, one of the fastest and tallest roller coasters in Canada, promising an adrenaline rush for even the most seasoned thrill enthusiasts.

Each summer, La Ronde becomes the stage for L'International des Feux Loto-Québec, an international fireworks competition that lights up the Montreal sky with dazzling displays. This event is one of the highlights of the park's season and has become a beloved tradition for both locals and tourists.

La Ronde operates from May to October, offering a full season of fun and excitement. While the park is primarily a summer destination, it also hosts Fright Fest in October, transforming into a spooky playground with haunted houses and Halloween-themed entertainment.
