Ontario Place

Consumer Discretionary

Ontario Place is a lakeside entertainment and event venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, built on three artificial islands in Lake Ontario just south of Exhibition Place. It was opened by the Government of Ontario on May 22, 1971, and operated for decades as a theme park centred on Ontario's history and family attractions before the government announced its closure for redevelopment in 2012. It has since reopened as a free-admission park, keeping the Cinesphere, an original IMAX theatre now fitted with new projection equipment, along with the RBC Amphitheatre, Trillium Park, the William G. Davis Trail, and a seasonal marina. The Ontario government has more recently moved to lease a large part of the site to the Austrian company Therme Group for a spa development.
