I hear on the radio today that if you purchase your Centreville play all day pass at Fortinos or Loblaws, you will get your next visit free....so a 2 for 1 deal. Entry for Over 4' tall is $27.50 plus the ferry ride.

We went two weeks ago and paid $75 at SDM (reg priced at $85)

I'm going there this weekend with two toddlers (both 2), I'm guessing the play all day passes would be a waste of money for them? We were thinking we'd just walk around, maybe go on a couple of the small rides suitable for young kids.

You can purchase ride tickets for the kids at the Ticket Booths, but they are expensive. The All Day Pass for kids under 4 is $19.

IMO, the kids have more fun at the massive playground near Franklin Park than at Centreville. It's free to walk around Centreville, and there are about 3 or four rides they might enjoy (the MerryGoRound is one), but I believe the adult needs a ticket too. Some rides require as many as 6 tickets!!

Thanks for the tips. We'll have to just scout it out first, see if the pass will be worth it. Is Franklin Park on Centre Island?

It is near the main beach. With toddlers about a 20 minute walk, but worth it!

It's very natural, a bog and they have readings there on weekends.

Adjacent to it is a great playground and the beach is right across of that.

Bring your wheeled cooler, a blanket and enjoy the day there. You won't regret it!
