Food scene
Huge selection of wing flavours. Our favourites are ‘my ranch is on fire’ and Nero’s Epilogue. The dry/dusted wings are also really good. Add some Greek or Tex Mex fries as a side and you have complete wing night at the pub. They have a lot of screens, including tables that have their own TV that you can control, if you want somewhere to go and watch sports while eating.

Persian restaurant. A great place to try Persian BBQ (Steak, ground beef, chicken and lamb). The meat is traditionally grilled over fire on a skewer and served with rice, grilled tomatoes, salad and mast (yogurt).
If you have never tried this before, I recommend getting some of each type of meat to try them all!

This is a nice place on the lake to go for dim sum. Some people say it is not as good as some of the places on Spadina Ave. or Mississauga (also listed in the guidebook), but I am always satisfied. They do not serve dim sum all day, so if you plan to go, make sure it is at the right time.

The funnel cake with ice cream and strawberries is a great treat to end a fun day after the rides.
The park is busy during the summer months when school is out, so you may want to consider adding the fast lane pass. This allows you to bypass regular lines on the 21 most popular rides, which can have wait times of over an hour.
