Centreville Amusement Park is on the Centre Island of Toronto Islands. If you want a day out and fun activities for young and adults, join the delightful spread at this remarkable place. The 1900s turn-of-the-century-themed buildings of the park are all welcoming.

The place is a true treasure, promising a great view of the Toronto skyline. This family destination is equally worn by locals and tourists.

A Brief History of Centreville Amusement Park

Centreville Amusement Park, operated by the Beasley family since 1967, has fun attractions for young kids, children, and adults to join them. The government of the City of Toronto has leased the property to Beasley since then.

Beasley family has nicely kept the entire amusement park area and is constantly upgrading it for the perfect family fun. The 600 acres property at Centre Island once had seven rides.

The amalgamation of the closed 1955s Sunnyside Amusement Park and 1930s Hanlan’s Point Amusement Park, Centerville, offers recreational attractions for all.

Location – Centreville Amusement Park

The amusement park is located on Centre Island. Centre Island is part of the Toronto Islands. The Island is offshore of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Centreville Amusement Park is a great theme park operated from May to September.

You can enjoy it late in the evening from June to August (weekends only). Check details. The amusement park closes early in May and September.

How to Visit?

Centreville Amusement Park is a short ferry boat ride from Toronto’s downtown. You can take a ferry boat from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal to Centre Island.

Toronto ferry docks are located at Bay Street and another at Queens Quay.

Entry Charges and Booking Information

You can buy Individual tickets at the Centreville Ticket Counter. Go for individual ride tickets if you are going for select rides.

All-day passes include 30+ rides and attractions for the season long, and prices vary for adults, children, and families.

Rides and Attractions

The Centreville Amusement Park boasts 30 rides and attractions that too family-friendly. Below are the details of some of the 30+ rides at the themed park.

a) Rides

i) Sky Ride

Sky Ride, or the Toronto skyline, is an aerial ride in the Centreville Amusement Park. The five towers long, this aerial ride crosses a farm,  a water body, and two islands without mid-stations.

The chairlifts are comfortable, but it is better to hold the side angles tight. The number of twin chairs is 50.

ii) Scrambler

Enjoy the colorful light and sound show by enjoying a spinny ride in the dark.

iii) Log Ride

Log Flume Ride is the most liked by young ones. Here is a look at the complete ride.

iv) Ferris Wheel

Have a view of the themed park from the Ferris wheel’s height. The Windmill Ferris wheel is not only antique but makes the place all the more aesthetic.

v) Rockin’ Ferry Ride

Rockin’ Ferry is the ride for you if you wish to experience what’s been on the rough sea. Make sure a rider over 4′ accompanies you; if you are 4′ or less than that.

vi) Miniature Train

Two miniature trains with five passenger cars in each run on a 2ft narrow gauge. Kids really like the little journey around the park grounds and the farm.

So spend some time with your family in “Lil Red Express” and “Lil Blue Express.”

vii) Toronto Islands Mine Coaster

It is comparatively slower than other coaster rides but a fun two-minute coaster ride.

viii) Bumper Boats & Bumper Cars

Enjoy the dodgy ride in the Coote’s Cattle Coral. The newly-themed rides are entertaining.

ix) Splash Pad

The kid-friendly splash pad is located west of the mini golf course. Isn’t it the best way to beat the heat, and that too completely free?

x) Swan Ride

Swan ride is a two-person ride and can be steered by one. This water ride amid lush greenery soothes one’s mind and soul.

xi) Antique Carousel

The theme park has a 1907 antique carousel. The 52 hand-carved animals to ride on include cats, an ostrich, pigs, a lion, and rabbits keeping it trendy from the typical style of only horses. 36 of 52 on this antique carousel move up and down on brass pillars.

Two fancy seats and a Wurlitzer band organ add a majestic grandeur to the carousel.

Apart from the above rides, new rides are constantly added, like Twirling Tea Cups, a recent one.
