Sandspit is PEI’s classic amusement park with more than 15 carnival favourites for all ages.
If you are a thrillseeker, ride the Cyclone roller-coaster, the longest roller coaster in Atlantic Canada, or try the 70-foot high ferris wheel. And if you are feeling brave, strap into the Cliffhanger. Going up is fun, and you’ll feel the incredible g-force on the way down.
Or, for more family fun, cool off on the bumper-boats. Then take a swing on our miniature golf course. Try your hand at one of our old-fashioned games or enjoy a tasty carnival treat.

FAQ
This information is based on the 2020 operational season. Check back as we update for 2021 as more information becomes available.
-
Do I have to book a time in advance?
Yes. For the safety of our guests and staff, we are significantly reducing our capacity to facilitate physical distancing. In order to manage the number of guests in the park, we are requiring all guests buy online in advance for either a day bracelet, valid from 10:00 to 4:00pm, or evening bracelet, valid from 5:00 to 10:00pm.
-
I am not doing anything, do I have to pay to get in?
In a typical year, Sandspit is a pay-as-you-go park so you only have to pay if you are going on the rides. For 2020, as a result of our capacity and pricing adjustments, we are changing to a general admission park. We have reduced our individual pricing from 2019 pricing as it is now based on all visitors paying the admission charge.
-
What is included in the Day and Evening bracelet?
Day and Evening Bracelets include unlimited use of all attractions in the park with the exception of the go-karts and old fashioned games for the duration of the bracelet. Day bracelets are only valid from 10:00 to 4:00pm. Evening bracelets are only valid from 5:00 to 10:00pm. All riders are subject to height restrictions.

What if I book a ticket and it rains?
Maritime Fun Group reserves the right to close the park due to weather conditions. If the decision to close the facility is made prior to the facility opening for the day all guests with existing reservations will be notified by e-mail and SMS and be permitted to rebook. We will also post up to date information on our social media platforms.
In the event we are forced to close the facility in the middle of the operating day due to extreme weather and that weather persists for more than one hour the park will close for the day and all guests will be automatically issued a return pass for the 2021 season.

Can I purchase a weekly or season pass for 2020?
Due to the capacity limitations we have in place and the change in operational days, we are not able to offer weekly or season passes for 2020, nor are able to honor those already purchased. We know this is a disappointment to our weekly and season pass holders and have contacted those guests who have already purchased these passes with some options.
