There’s no other place that screams summer in Vancouver than Playland!

The exhilarating rides for all levels of thrillseekers. The exciting games with fun prizes to win. And so much delicious food to enjoy!

The PNE recently announced that it will return in August with a smaller, in-person Fair, but there are still lots of new things to check out at Playland all summer long!

To help you plan your Playland adventure, here is a checklist of four fun new things to check out this year.
