Canada's 'largest' floating water park is near Toronto and it's an epic summer day trip

It's reopening soon!

A floating water park.

A water park near Toronto.

Lead Writer, Travel

This massive water park near Toronto isn't your usual splash pad. It's actually located on a lake and features a variety of floating activities.

With obstacle courses, trampolines and a sandy beach, it's an idyllic spot for a summer day trip. Located just an hour and a half away from the city, the park offers endless aquatic adventures and sun-filled experiences.

Splash ON is reopening its location at Centennial Beach in Barrie on June 27, 2025.

According to the website, it's the "largest" inflatable water park in Canada, featuring obstacles, climbing walls, monkey bars, swings, slides, trampolines, and balance beams. Think "giant floating playground."

You can spend the day splashing through waves, conquering aquatic obstacles, and unwinding on the sandy shoreline. With no age limit, it's a great place to let loose your inner child, no matter how old you are.

Each year, Splash ON updates its layouts and adds new equipment to offer a fresh experience for returning customers.

Tickets are already available online and start at $28 per person for a 2-hour timeslot. The prices include lifejacket rentals.

There is also a smaller sister park located at Tudhope Park in Orillia, offering a quieter and more accessible experience.

With all sorts of thrilling obstacles, this floating waterpark is a fun spot to check out this summer.
