Medieval Faire, Theme park section at Canada's Wonderland, Ontario, Canada

Medieval Faire is a section of Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, entered through fortress walls over a castle moat. Its Wonderland Theatre has a castle facade: grey stone base, cream upper walls with dark blue half-timbering, four blue conical turret roofs, a steep red roof with two pointed dormers, and a stone winged figure on a pedestal above the arched entrance. Lower wings have arched doorways with circular carvings and blue-shuttered windows.

The section opened in 1981 as part of the park's inaugural launch with original roller coasters and medieval-inspired design. This first phase established the foundation that was later expanded with additional attractions.

The section draws its medieval character from architecture and design that creates a festival-like setting throughout the area. Entertainment and dining follow this theme, forming a cohesive experience for visitors.

Enter Medieval Faire through the fortress walls and over the castle moat, with the castle-fronted Wonderland Theatre facing you. The washrooms near the First Aid building were originally a thatched cottage marked "Lords" and "Ladies", a labelling that confused many guests in the opening year. The section sits inside Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario.

The dragon sculpture at Dragon Fyre's entrance was made by artist and inventor Bill Lishman, who was allowed to design it from scratch rather than follow preset plans. He and assistant Richard Van Heuvelen spent two months on it, and it was originally meant to hold a sign; management liked it enough to keep it as a standalone piece. Lishman also built the wild boar at Wilde Beast, both made at his home in Blackstock, Ontario, for about $75,000.
