International Street, Main entrance thoroughfare at Canada's Wonderland amusement park in Vaughan, Ontario.
International Street runs from the main park entrance to Wonder Mountain, serving as the central pathway through the amusement park. Along the way, visitors find a central fountain, restaurants, shops, and the International Showplace amphitheater.
The street was designed as the centerpiece of Canada's first major theme park when it opened in 1981. Its layout followed the successful design approach used in similar parks operated by the parent company.
The Alpine Building opened with two restaurants and four shops: the Alphorn Delikatessen served Knackwurst and Bavarian sandwiches, Eis sold fruit and ice cream in chocolate, and Kuckucks Uhren sold cuckoo clocks. The Toronto Star noted that a visitor once asked a guard outside the Latin-themed washrooms, "Am I a Damas or Caballeros?"
Use this route to quickly reach guest services and stroller rental options when you arrive. With restaurants and shops distributed throughout, you can easily find food and souvenirs while walking through.
A large flowerbed with around 11,000 begonias forms the Canadian flag at the entrance. During Halloween season, this same display transforms into a cemetery-themed design.
