1. Travel Across Canada in Just One Visit
Explore detailed, miniature versions of iconic Canadian landmarks like Little Niagara Falls, Little Ottawa, Little Toronto, Little Vancouver, Little Halifax, Little North, and more – all indoors and under one roof at Little Canada. While everything may be miniature in scale, the experience itself is giant: spanning 45,000 square feet and featuring more than 100 animations, 44 trains, and 300 other moving vehicles. A captivating day-and-night cycle brings the landscapes, city scenes, and wildlife to life in a magical way.
2. Show Your Canadian Pride

3. Themed Canada Day Activity for the Whole Family
Take on the “Where’s Maurice?” Mini Mission – a fun, Where’s Waldo-style spotting game where you’ll search for Maurice hidden throughout the Little Destinations. Along the way, keep an eye out for Maurice’s friends too – the many miniature Canadian wildlife characters tucked into scenes throughout the experience, with many of them even coming to life in surprising ways. It’s a playful way to explore every tiny detail, making Little Canada one of the top Canada Day attractions in Toronto for families and curious explorers alike.
4. A Miniature Love Letter to Canada
Little Canada is more than an attraction – it’s a heartfelt tribute to the people, places, and stories that make our country special. It’s also the perfect place to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate Canada Day with the people who matter most to you, surrounded by memories and moments that are uniquely Canadian.
5. Become a Mini Canadian
Get a 3D-printed miniature version of yourself and become a permanent part of this growing Canadian world.

7. Celebrate Day Rain or Shine
Located indoors in downtown Toronto, Little Canada is the perfect weatherproof Canada Day activity, no matter what the forecast says. You can even cool off in Little North – a specially chilled immersive space featuring miniature Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories, complete with a Northern Lights projection that wraps you in colour and light.
8. Reflect on Canada’s Full Story—Including Indigenous Perspectives
We recognize that Canada Day can carry mixed emotions, especially for Indigenous communities. Little Canada honours this complexity by sharing Indigenous stories with care and respect, co-created with our Indigenous consultant, Naheyawin, and directly with community partners across the country. These meaningful collaborations ensure that the voices, cultures, and histories of First Peoples are represented in thoughtful and authentic ways throughout the miniature world.
This July 1st, celebrate Canada Day in a big way at Little Canada, Toronto’s most heartwarming and unforgettable attraction.
