A two-storey establishment featuring all the great Canadian classics to take you from sea to shining sea.

A unique attraction, Little Canada transports you from coast to coast in a miniaturized universe. Spread over two floors, all the great Canadian classics are there: the East Coast, Niagara, Toronto, Ottawa, Golden Horseshoe, Petit Québec, etc., with new "destinations" coming soon such as the West Coast and the Great North. Want to be part of this miniature Canada? For an additional fee, you can get a mini-figure of yourself that can be sent to your home or, better yet, installed on site.

Great for kids and parents! The attention to detail and amount of landmarks they have recreated is amazing. Definitely worth it!

On our recent visit to Toronto (From the UK) we visited Little Canada. It was amazing and with an age range of 11-43 it was universally loved by all.

The level of detail is amazing and we spent around 2-3 hours looking around it all. The staff are all very friendly and it was such a nice atmosphere with so many little touches.

The highlight was being able to buy our own Maurice in a display case that was actually made by one of the staff we had spoken to whilst sculpting a few of the new models.

I was very skeptical going into this, but my husband convinced me that we should try it. I was assuming it would be geared toward children and/or that I would not have enough to see to fill my time. Despite my admittedly negative mindset and expectations, I was blown away by how fun this was. There were so many little details and Easter eggs to see that I found myself spending multiple day/night schedules in the same locations. I am familiar with Toronto but still loved all the details and fun things to see in Little Toronto and know almost nothing about the rest of Canada so found it super interesting and informative. I also loved seeing the behind the scenes info including watching the cars and trains turn around. The enthusiasm from the staff (who at first were honestly overwhelmingly excitable) was contagious and upon seeing everything, I understood it. Skeptics, let this be your sign to give Little Canada a chance!

Location was not hard to find. You just have to take the escalator down. I guess I’ll clear this up before going any farther. Supposedly, some Karen on Google said these guys were racist just because her rambunctious kids were running around the gift shop, possibly knocking stuff over. This is not a toy store. Second, they’re not racist. We’re Asian and all of the employees were very kind to us. When we visited last month, the kids we saw were disciplined. Now that I got the facts out of the way, I’ll move on to my review.

Cost of admission was $36 for an adult. Maybe slightly expensive for some people but if you’re coming from the US, it’s only like $26 USD. Very affordable if you have a decent job. Only go on vacation if you can afford to. You don’t really need a map, it’s pretty much straightforward but they do have maps/signs.

You start off with Little Niagara then you take the escalator downstairs. You’ll go to Little Toronto, Little Golden Horseshoe, Little Ottawa, Petit Quebec, and then Little East Coast. They have guides around each section in case you have questions. There’s a cafe with drinks and food. They’ll be adding more cities in the future. You can see the Miniature Makers’ Window where they build the cities before you go to the gift shop. You can easily spend 1-3 hrs here. We spent 2.5 hrs taking pictures/videos and just admiring all of the hard work.

The best single city attraction I’ve ever been to. The experience (as that’s what it is) is superb. The whole family loved it and helped close out our 2 week trip across the whole of east Canada by showing all the places we visited in miniature form and mop up and history quirks we missed!

Upon seeing it advertised I incorrectly assumed it was a Madame Tussaud’s/ripleys believe it or not type attraction… it’s not a tacky tourist trap - it’s phenomenal… magical

Small thing… they obviously hugely care about the experience factor. The staff were so so friendly and on point at exactly the right times
