About Parc des Petits Reves

Where Childhood Dreams Take Flight

Our Story

Founded in 2016 by childhood education specialist Dr. Marie-Claire Dubois and engineer Alexandre Moreau, Parc des Petits Reves was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a place where children's imagination could run free in a completely safe environment.

After years of research into childhood development and safety engineering, our founders identified a gap in the Canadian entertainment landscape. Traditional amusement parks often catered to older children and adults, leaving younger visitors with limited options. This inspired them to design Canada's first amusement park specifically tailored for children aged 2-12.

Starting with just five attractions on a modest 3-acre plot in Ontario, we've grown into a beloved destination spanning 15 acres with over 20 carefully designed attractions. Each ride and activity is meticulously planned to stimulate creativity, build confidence, and create lasting family memories while maintaining the highest safety standards in the industry.

Today, Parc des Petits Reves welcomes over 25,000 families annually and has become a cornerstone of childhood joy in our community. Our commitment to innovation and safety continues to drive everything we do, ensuring that each visit is as magical as the first.
