Overview

Centreville Amusement Park is a Victorian-themed park located on Centre Island, accessible only by ferry from the Toronto mainland. The park features over 30 rides and attractions primarily geared toward young children, including a classic 1900s carousel. Far Enough Farm, integrated into the park grounds, houses over 40 species of farm animals and exotic birds for interactive viewing. The park layout incorporates original 1960s landscaping and winding paths designed to feel like a turn-of-the-century village. It remains a seasonal destination focused on traditional amusement experiences rather than high-thrill mechanical coasters.
