If you’ve ever wanted to explore Canada’s vast northern territories without leaving downtown Toronto, now’s your chance. We are bringing the North closer than ever with our newest miniature masterpiece: Little North. This tiny yet breathtaking replica of Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and Yukon lets visitors step into the beauty, culture, and stories of Canada’s Arctic.
Explore the Wonders of the North
Little North is not just a collection of miniature models, it’s a fully immersive experience. Wander through glowing igloos, watch polar bears roam, and follow active railroads winding through tiny northern towns. Feel the chill of the Arctic in the temperature-controlled room, always a crisp 15°C, and experience the polar night twilight with a unique day-night cycle against the backdrop of a Northern Lights projection.
From bustling Iqaluit and the Northwest Passage to the reindeer herds of the Mackenzie Delta and the eroding coastline of Tuktoyaktuk, each scene tells a story; some whimsical, some rooted in real northern life.
Stories and Voices That Matter
Little North was developed with extensive Indigenous involvement, guided by cultural consultants Jacquelyn and Hunter Cardinal from Naheyawin to ensure authentic and respectful representation. The exhibit also invites reflection on pressing issues, like climate change, through storytelling and environmental details, making it both enchanting and thought-provoking.
Tiny Details, Big Impressions
Over a year, a team of 30 artists, engineers, and storytellers poured 60,000 hours into creating Little North. Every tiny building, railroad, and reindeer is crafted with meticulous detail, blending artistry with educational storytelling.
Part of a Growing Miniature Canada
Little North is the eighth destination at Little Canada, joining Little Niagara, Little Toronto, Little Golden Horseshoe, Little Ottawa, Petit Québec, Little East Coast, and Little West Coast.
Little Canada continues its mission to bring Canada a little closer, helping visitors discover the country’s incredible diversity, beauty, and stories through a lens of wonder and imagination.
Whether you’re a lifelong Torontonian, a visitor to the city, or just someone who loves exploring tiny worlds, Little North is an experience not to be missed. Plan your visit today!
