Playland Rides & Games
Playland has over 25 rides and attractions, including the sky-scraping Atmosfear and The Beast’s fantastic five g-forces of fun. I have to admit – these two are my favourite rides at PlayLand, I specifically love Atmosfear – the ride is a bit nerve racking but the views from the top turns are amazing!
There are also more than 15 family and kids rides for you to enjoy together, including Bug Whirled, Flutterbye, and Dizzy Drop.
A Fun Pass is $29.50 and provides all-day access to the kids & family rides. A Thrill Seeker Pass is $39.50 and provides all-day access to all rides, including the thrill rides (must be at least 48” tall).
Safeway Cooking Stage
The PNE is welcoming guests to visit the Safeway Cooking Stage with mouth-watering culinary inspiration highlighting new flavours from around the globe. As PNE Fair explains, “combining local agriculture industry highlights, local chefs, and opportunities for families to be the star of the show, each day will bring a new variety of recipes and techniques for guests to learn and try in their own kitchens.”
