Experience the magic of the holiday season with ice skating on Snow Flake Lake at Canada’s Wonderland! Nestled in front of the iconic Wonder Mountain, this spectacular rink, adorned with sparkling lights and festive tunes, offers the perfect winter escape. Let’s walk through each step to ensure you make the most of this festive experience!

Step 1: Reserve Your Spot Online

Since the rink is a popular attraction, reservations are required to guarantee your skating session. The cost for skating starts at $10 per guest if you bring your own skates, and $15 per guest if you need to rent them.

Make sure to book your 30-minute time slot online in advance. Walk-ups may not be able to skate, so booking ahead is your ticket to skating on the most magical rink in all of Toronto!

Step 2: Check in, Sign the Waiver & Pick up Your Skates

On the day of your visit, arrive 30 minutes early to allow enough time to get ready for your skate time. Head to True North Gifts, located on the south side of Snow Flake Lake to check in and sign a waiver—it’s quick and easy! You can sign it online in advance or at the venue. Don’t forget, guests under 18 will need a parent or guardian’s signature.

Once you're all set, it’s time to skate! Head over to the next counter to pick up your wristband and skates (if you’ve rented them) and get ready to glide onto the ice!

Step 3: Glide Across Snow Flake Lake

Now it’s time to take to the ice! Snow Flake Lake transforms into a shimmering, magical space with twinkling lights, festive music, and stunning views of Wonder Mountain. It’s the perfect spot for families, friends, and couples to create lasting holiday memories. Whether you're a first-time skater or a seasoned pro, the joy of skating here is unmatched.

If you’re a first-time skater or need some help on the ice, we have three skate assists devices that are provided (base on availability).

• Reindeer: for small children
• Seal: Adult to push around a small child
• Adjustable assist: for all ages

For the safety and enjoyment of all our skaters, we kindly ask that no photos or videos to be taken on the rink. Capture the memories from the sidelines and keep Snow Flake Lake a fun and distraction-free rink for everyone!

Step 4: Indulge in Holiday Treats and Warm Up

After skating, it’s time to treat yourself to some delicious festive eats! Whether you’ve worked up an appetite on the rink or just want to enjoy the seasonal flavours, Canada’s Wonderland has something special waiting for you.

Head over to Lazy Bear Lodge for the famous Turkey Dinner Ball—a perfect savoury snack to refuel. Or, if you’re craving something indulgent, visit The Mac Shack and dive into a loaded Mac and Cheese Bowl. For something sweet, you can’t miss the festive funnel cakes, a classic holiday delight that will make your taste buds dance.

And we can’t forget about the festive hot chocolates! You can also get a souvenir mug with unlimited hot chocolate refills for only $14.99!

From savoury dishes to sweet indulgences, these holiday food options create the perfect festive atmosphere after your skate.

Step 5: Enjoy the Magic of WinterFest
