A gigantic lakeside water park packed with thrilling high-speed slides and a roaring wave pool is the ultimate end-of-summer road trip destination just under an hour from Toronto.
Found in Hamilton’s Confederation Beach Park, Wild Waterworks located on the shores of Lake Ontario spans acres of beachfront greenery, and features a variety of aquatic attractions alongside sunny lounging spots.
Before the season wraps up on Labour Day, thrill-seekers can tackle towering body slides like the six-story Corkscrew and Kamikaze, or grab an inflatable tube to plunge through the dark turns of Night Rider and Blue Demon.
For something more relaxing, their sprawling wave pool transforms into a tropical swell, and is one of Canada’s largest outdoor wave action pools.
Guests are also welcome to pack their own lawn chairs, coolers, and snacks to set up a scenic picnic on the grass. Once dried off, visitors can stroll along the nearby waterfront promenade to grab a bite at iconic shoreline eateries like Hutch’s on the Beach.
Wild Waterworks is located at 680 Van Wagners Beach Rd. in Hamilton. You can check ticket prices and operating hours on the Wild Waterworks website.
