     Thank you for contacting Guest Services at Canada’s Wonderland. I can provide you with a list of gluten-free items which are available at the park; however these items are subject to change as we do change our food items regularly and is not to be considered a permanent list of gluten free items at the park.

African Lion Safari - Gluten-Free Options

This post is part of a series of posts about gluten-free food options at a range of tourist/family attractions across Ontario.


I gotta say... customer service at African Lion Safari is my favourite so far.

I've emailed about a dozen locations and haven't heard much back... but African Lion Safari got back to me within 30 minutes with this response:

 
Good morning Jax!  I just checked with our food service department and we are selling gluten free soft serve ice cream and cone at Kanga Kool Treats.  The ice cream can be served in a plastic cup instead of cone as well.  They are trying to get more gluten free products in.  

Sincerely, Linda Kowalchuk

I responded, asking if there was any other food choices that were naturally gluten-free and she told me no but they are working on it.

African Lion Safari opened in 1969.  I've always wanted to go... but sadly have not been yet.  Maybe this summer ;)

CN Tower - Gluten-Free Options

This is part of a series of posts about gluten-free food options available at select tourist/family attractions in Ontario.

I sent an email to the CN Tower in Toronto asking about gluten-free options in the 360 Restaurant at the top of the tower.  I have never been up the tower but I hope to soon!

I was a little disappointed with the lack of a direct list of options available.  As a vegetarian, it is sometimes hard to judge if I will just be stuck with a salad... and it's always nice to have a gluten-free pasta option or bread as a side.  No mention of any rice dishes either.

Anyway, here is the response directly from the Sous Chef at 360 Restaurant:

Hi thanks for your question.
Most of our dishes can be modified to be gluten free, as our jus are made in house and do not contain flour wheat or barley. If A dish like prime rib for intents is served with bread pudding  we do substitute it for mash or baked potato. 95% of the menu can be ordered, just be sure that you inform your waiter about your food allergy.
Looking forward to see you in 360  at the CN TOWER

Have a nice day
