What makes it 79% Couple-Friendly: Shared adrenaline on Atmosfear plus sunset views on Westcoast Wheel create fun date moments, yet noisy midway and limited romantic seating mean it is good, not idyllic.
This place may be temporarily closed. Please check official sources before visiting.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Enough time to ride top attractions and catch sunset views without rushing.
Atmosfear Swing Ride:
A 218 ft pendulum swing that soars you high above the midway.
Tip: Use your Thrill Ride Pass and arrive at opening to minimize wait.
Westcoast Wheel:
Enclosed Ferris wheel cabins with 360° views of Vancouver skyline.
Tip: Request a west-facing cabin at sunset for the best city-to-mountain panorama.
Sweet Escape Mini Golf:
Candy-themed 18-hole outdoor mini golf course.
Tip: Start at hole 1 near the entrance during off-peak hours for quieter play.
ThunderVolt Launch Coaster:
Modern coaster that catapults you from 0 to 45 mph in seconds.
Tip: Hold on tight and use your Thrill Ride Pass; ride early for shorter lines.

Playland either has poor management or does not care about its customers after charging them a large amount of money. You would think it would run it like a well-oiled machine. But no, instead of preloading at the gates of the line for one of the most popular rides, Thunder Volt, to keep lines moving and happy customers moving, they make you wait at the bottom of the stairs until the ride is empty...

Used the BCAA online deal for cheap admission rate. Most shows are pretty much similar every year, so nothing really excited about however, my little one did enjoy the street dance party with the teddy bear. There was a drag show that’s new this time.

The vendors and performers really make the fair enjoyable, but the ticket leader system just is so confusing to navigate. We tried different browsers, different log ins, and even different computers, and the BCAA member discount just would not work. And when we arrived at the gate, we were told by the supervisor that “it’s only $7 and there’s nothing we can do.” 😭😭???? Yes, I’m aware it’s not a ...

The Coaster at Playland was absolutely amazing, a classic wooden roller coaster that’s been running since 1958! The ride is thrilling, full of sharp turns and drops that make it a truly nostalgic experience. The lines were very long, so you can’t expect to go on it more than 3–4 times in a day, but the excitement and charm of this historic ride make the wait worth it. A true highlight of Playland!

Went on a cloudy and gloomy Saturday in June with partial misty rain on opening. Rope dropped the Newest coaster Volt and waited in a 52 minute long line. There are signs outside of certain rides telling you approximately how long your wait will be and they are quite accurate. The Log flume had a 0 minute wait (it had stopped raining, but it was still cloudy and also very early in the day). The dr...
