“The riddle written on the white board in Little Little Canada. This was a running feature in our former admin office that has been immortalized in the mini version of our mini world!”
Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer, Founder, Chief Visionary Officer
“The bean counting monsters in the CRA get me every time.”
Brad Ford, President & CEO
“I love telling people the “kraken” the road pun and watching people’s faces as they get the joke. It’s one of those things that you won’t get right away, unless someone says it out loud.”
Natalia S, Graphic Designer
“The greatest Easter Eggs are the ones that are NOT in the exhibit. There are a few rogue explorers who have made their way into the big world that are super cute and very funny.”
Lisa K, Director, Business Development
“I could spend hours looking at Little Chateau Laurier. It has some of my favourite little pop culture references, like Schitt‘s Creek, Big Comfy Couch, Wicked, even Yayoi Kusama, and I feel like I notice something new every time.”
Meg M, PR & Communications Lead
“I love that Batman and Robin are climbing Signal Hill to answer the bat signal being projected!”
Krista K, Director, Partner Experience
“The little diggers in the crack at Mini Mission Control! Guests love when we point them out.”
Tara K, Guest Experience
“I literally gasped the first time I saw the Oompa Loompas breaking through the wall in Little East Coast.”
Nikki K, Social Media Specialist
“This scene in Little East Coast packs in seven musical legends, all cleverly hiding in plain sight. It’s my favourite spot to show off Little Canada to new guests because it always makes me smile.”
Heidi W, Senior Lead, Marketing
At Little Canada, our number one goal is to share the joy of discovery, big and small, and we love hearing what surprises our guests uncover. Come explore for yourself and see what you might find hidden in plain sight.
