Lonely Planet review

Québec's largest amusement park, La Ronde has a battery of rides including the 'Monstre' big dipper - the second-largest in the world - a Ferris wheel and a gentle minirail that offers views of the river and city. The latest addition is the Vampire, a corkscrew roller coaster that races at speeds up to 80km/h.

While amusement park connoisseurs will no doubt have the times of their lives here, you hear a lot of grumbling from locals these days about the admission cost, especially from Montréal families who can't justify the prohibitively expensive prices. Concerts and shows like circuses and high-platform diving are held throughout the summer; the Loto-Québec International Fireworks Competition is a highlight on weekend evenings in June and July.
