Ontario Place, Theme park and island group at Lake Ontario waterfront in Toronto, Canada.
Ontario Place sits on multiple artificial islands along Lake Ontario's shore and features open parklands, walking paths, and a variety of recreational areas. The site brings together green spaces with entertainment venues for different interests and ages.
Ontario Place opened in 1971 as a celebration of Canadian accomplishments and technological innovation. The site reflected the government's vision for Canada's future and development at that time.
The Cinesphere introduced IMAX film technology to Canadian audiences and remains a place where visitors experience movies on an enormous curved screen. This venue shaped how Canadians think about cinema and large-scale visual storytelling.
Visitors can reach the site by public transit, with streetcars and buses connecting from downtown Toronto to the entrance. Multiple pathways allow easy movement between islands and around the park.
Elevated walkways and bridges connect the islands and provide wide views of Lake Ontario and Toronto's downtown skyline from different angles. This network of pathways creates an unusual way to explore the waterfront.
