A family amusement park that needs to expand and put in more rides and fun things to do for older kids and adults alike. Good if you have very small children More

Thank you for your comments. We work hard to provide a variety of attractions that will appeal to the whole family. Of Sandspit's 19 rides, many are designed for those over 4 feet tall and many people are actually surprised at the number of activities we have for younger children as well. When adding attractions, we have to be mindful... More

OK so it's not Disney World but it is great fun for the younger set and parents do not have to pay if they are not going on the rides, which is a great option for those who just want to sit back and watch the fun. Children six and under have loads of fun on the vintage rides and... More

The trick to enjoying Sandspit is to check your expectations at the door, meaning don't expect Disney World. What you'll get here is a similar experience to a local carnival that drops by your neighbourhood during the summer ... and then some. The place is maintained well and staff members are friendly and willing to assist. One receives the distinct... More

Sandspit is the place to be if you want to be entertained all day. From a rollercoaster to bumper cars, a ferris wheel, mini golf, and so much more you are sure to have fun. There were games, food, places to just sit and relax. I would recommend buying an all-day admisson braclet if you plan on going any amount... More

Sandspit is not a huge spot but it is still lots of fun ! Not a place I'd go with small children as many rides are for older kids(age 10 and up) ! You have to pay extra for go-karts. More

First of all, the bathrooms were filthy! On the back of the door in one of the women's stalls there was blood, which I'm sure you can guess where the blood came from. The whole restroom was just very unclean. The concession was horrible. There was no selection and the chicken fingers were those horrible pre-chewed no-name flavorless things. When... More

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not a typical experience at Sandspit. We expect very high standards of park cleanliness and safety. Our washrooms are checked every half hour, and our staff immediately respond to any issues that are brought to their attention. We have a dedicated staff of maintenance personnel that work on all of... More

My kids loved this park and we liked the all day all you could ride option. What really made it great for us was that you could come and go from the park easily during the day. It was a great "carnival" type park. More

We went with our 8 and 5 year-old children and purchased the day pass. $23 for an adult and the 8 year-old and $18 for the 5 year-old. There are 25 or so rides included with the pass or you can buy tickets to use on the rides instead. There were a few terrific things about the park. Plenty of... More

We had a great day with the kids at Sand Spit amusment park. We walked over for the morning and were pleased that the lines were very short and the park was clean and well attended. The kids favorite rides were the bumper cars and roller coaster. Since there was no line they let us stay in the bumper acar's... More
