Canada’s Wonderland says younger guests will be required to have a chaperone in the evenings throughout its upcoming season, making permanent a policy the park implemented last fall.
In a news release issued Tuesday, the amusement park noted that a new chaperone policy will be in effect for the entire 2026 season.
Starting at 4 p.m., all guests ages 15 or younger must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21 in order to be admitted or remain in the park.
One chaperone cannot accompany more than 10 guests ages 15 and under.
“At Canada’s Wonderland, we’re committed to providing a safe, enjoyable environment for all our guests,” the news release read.
The Vaughan theme park enacted a similar policy back in September due to “unruly and inappropriate” behaviour by younger guests.
Guests ages 15 and under could not be in the park after 6 p.m. without a chaperone during the Halloween Haunt experience.
“A safe, family-friendly atmosphere is the type of experience our guests expect and deserve at Canada’s Wonderland,” the park said in a statement released last fall.
“We’re introducing this policy as a best practice in the industry, after seeing incidents of unruly and inappropriate behavior over the years at amusement parks and major entertainment venues.”
The amusement park officially opens for the 2026 season on May 3.
