It’s time to dust off your summer shoes and prepare for an adrenaline-packed adventure as Playland officially reopens for the 2025 season on Saturday, May 17. Located at 2901 East Hastings Street on the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) grounds, Playland is one of British Columbia’s most iconic family attractions — and this year promises more thrills than ever.

From gravity-defying rides to classic carnival treats, Playland offers more than 30 attractions for all ages. Returning fan favourites include the sky-high Atmosfear, the classic Wooden Roller Coaster, and the massive Beast, which towers 12 storeys and swings at speeds up to 90 km/h. Also making a splash this season is ThunderVolt, the flagship thrill ride that’s not for the faint of heart.

Perfect for families, couples, or friend groups, Playland delivers a blend of excitement and nostalgia, complete with hot dogs, cotton candy, and freshly made mini donuts. And for those planning to visit more than once, season passes are now available.
