Toronto’s Aurora Winter Festival is more magical than ever

Presented by the Canadian National Exhibition the Aurora Winter Festival has transformed Ontario Place’s West Island in a magical winter wonderland with light displays, amusement rides, a Christmas Market, ice skating and more.

Mystical adventures and rides

And this year’s incredible five-week Aurora Winter Festival will surely attract thousands with its impressive 170-foot tube park and an illuminated Ferris Wheel allowing for incredible views of the festival and the city skyline.

The festival also has four mystical worlds to explore including the magical Candy Cane Lane with a Gingerbread Hut, giant lollipops, cup cakes and other tasty treats, an Arctic Retreat with a Yeti Cave and giant Polar Bears, Luminous Gardens where you may even see a unicorn, and a Whimsical Forest featuring a Gnome village, Fairy Hollow and more.
