Canada’s Wonderland Enforces Permanent Chaperone Policy Following Last Fall’s Incidents
Canada’s Wonderland, a prominent amusement park located in Vaughan, Ontario, has announced the implementation of a permanent chaperone policy starting with the 2026 season. This policy mandates that all guests aged 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years old beginning at 4 p.m. daily.
Details of the Chaperone Policy
The new chaperone policy has been established following incidents of unruly behavior among younger visitors. It was initially introduced last fall and is now set to become a lasting measure for maintaining safety and order in the park.
Key Features of the Policy
- Guests aged 15 and under must be with an adult age 21 or older from 4 p.m.
- One adult can supervise no more than ten guests under the age of 16.
- The policy aims to foster a safe and enjoyable environment for all visitors.
This chaperone requirement was first trialed during the Halloween Haunt event last year, where guests aged 15 and under were not allowed entry without an adult after 6 p.m. The decision was driven by the need to curb inappropriate behavior observed in the park.
Park’s Commitment to Safety
Canada’s Wonderland is dedicated to providing a family-friendly atmosphere, which is evident in their statement regarding the policy. They emphasized their intent to adopt best practices witnessed at amusement parks and entertainment venues across the industry.
Opening Date for the 2026 Season
The amusement park is set to open for its 2026 season on May 3. Visitors can expect the chaperone policy to be in full effect throughout the season. Canada’s Wonderland aims to ensure a secure environment for families and all guests as they enjoy the park’s attractions.
