Games

International Festival is notable for their midway games, hence why Canada's Wonderland staff refer the area as Alpen Games instead of International Festival. Of which, the games in this area include:
* Ball Toss - object is to toss a ball and have the ball land in a hole which has labels telling the player what prize you win
* Milk Can - object is to toss a baseball and have the ball go into a milk can
* Ring Toss - object is to toss rings and have it land into an array of glass bottles
* Peach Basket - object is to toss a baseball into a peach basket and have the ball stay inside the basket without it bouncing back out

* Short Range - a children's version of "Foul Shot".
* Foul Shot - object is to score a basketball from a standard NBA 2-point line
* Bowler Roller - object is to roll a bowling ball over a hump and have it stay on the second ditch
* High Striker - object is to swing a mallet and hit a pedal as hard as you can and try to score 100 points
* Jr. High Striker - a children's version of "High Striker" played with a small mallet. It is portable, so there is no set location. It has been seen at International Street and on the edge of the Alpen Games border near the washroom in the mountain.
* Coaster Chase - a water-based competition game, in which the first train to the finish line wins. The target does move, but the water squirts automatically.
* Top Glo - a water-based competition game, in which the first pedestal to the top wins. The target does not move, but the player must press down both buttons in order to squirt the water.
* Overdrive - a water-based competition game, in which the first player's character reaches to the top wins. It uses a standard water hose gun as its firing instrument and the target does not move.
* Pro Putt - a mini-golf putting range.
