There are over 30 rides and attractions to enjoy at Vancouver\u2019s favourite amusement park, ranging from family-fun rides to extreme, heart-racing attractions.<\/p>\n

Prepare yourself for the sky-high Atmosfear, the timeless Wooden Roller Coaster, and of course, The Beast \u2014 the massive pendulum that stands 12 storeys tall and swings at speeds of 90 km\/h.<\/p>\n

The amusement park also offers a variety of exciting activities to enjoy during your visit, including mini golf and a climbing wall. You can also try to win a prize in one of the midway games.<\/p>\n

Playland Unlocked on opening weekend will welcome visitors with live DJs, special games and a chance to win prizes.<\/p>\n

This year also marks the return of Playland Nights, a partnership between PNE and Feaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor three Saturdays in June (June 13, 20, and 27), Playland will once again transform into an adults-only evening experience,\u201d said the PNE in a release. \u201cRunning from 6 to 11 p.m., each of the three nights will feature a distinct theme\u2014ranging from wine and food pairings to cocktail festivals and craft beer experiences\u2014paired with live music, curated food offerings, and full access to rides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a series of immersive, adults-only events that blend the energy of Playland with Vancouver\u2019s food and beverage culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
