Fireworks
June 30, July 1, Aug. 4, Sept. 1
You haven’t seen fireworks until you’ve seen the spectacular display at Canada’s Wonderland! Watch 6,000 firework explosions fill up the night sky from 11 separate firing positions (including Wonder Mountain). The show starts at 10pm and is choreographed to different music every time, so no two shows are alike.
- TIP: If you’re looking for the ultimate experience, consider the VIP package that gets you unlimited snacks plus drinks at Lazy Bear Lodge, and prime seating with the best view in the house! Available online or in park at Lazy Bear Lodge, while quantities last.
- TIP: If you'd rather sit on the grass, bring a blanket to sit on and scope out a spot around Windseeker or Lazy Bear Lodge by the water early on!

These globally acclaimed two and four-legged cast members will dazzle you with tail-wagging feats of courage, bone-dropping illusions, and Labrador-able stunts!
