Ontario Place

“Ontario Place is a multiple use site under development in Toronto, Ontario. It is located on the shore of Lake Ontario, just south of Exhibition Place, to the south-west of downtown Toronto. It opened on May 22, 1971 and consists of three artificially constructed, landscaped islands.

The facility is owned by the Government of Ontario and is administered as an agency of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. It takes its name from the original Ontario Place, an annual exhibition and entertainment complex that operated on the site from 1971 to 2011. Currently the site includes the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, event facility “Atlantis”, and a marina. Buildings on the site include “pods” designed by Eb Zeidler and a geodesic dome, that contained the Cinesphere IMAX theatre.”
