    Ah the details that go into this museum! LITTLE things! Little details! You can even make a miniature of yourself to have put into the exhibits or take home and put in a diorama box. So cute

    A collection of miniatures of different buildings and places in Canada such as Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Quebec. Great if you need an inspiration on your next trip. Or if you are an architect. Attention to details. Animated trains. Day and night cycles. Even some rooms were colder than others to reflect climate. Great for groups and all ages.

    This is our first time here and it's pretty amazing! Little Canada is a really unique visitor attraction right in the heart of Toronto (very close to Toronto's Chinatown) they have stories of Canada and showcases the country's cities & landscapes through miniature versions! I missed the totem poles in Vancouver! While miniature, the place is huge with 45,000 sq. ft - that's two hockey rinks! It's a place where the CN Tower stands 12 ft tall, the Bay of Fundy simulates the highest tides in the world with its 400L basin, and over 40,000 little figures call it home. It's truly amazing on how they did all this! If you're around the Toronto area, you definitely should see it! There's a municipal parking structure right across the street and the cost is $CAD 23.00 for 12 hrs!

    Our group visited in a weekday (3 adults, 3 kids aged 11, 9 & 6) and loved it. We had planned just an hour or so and ended up there for three hours as we enjoyed all the little details, fun additions and Easter eggs that made this unique and funny. Highly, highly recommend. Made me love my country even more.

    Located at the heart of downtown Toronto's Yonge & Dundas, Little Canada quietly opened in 2021 in the midst of pandemic and continues to expand its exhibitions every year. Simply put, it is a miniature Canada of all the amazing landscapes, attractions, festivals, cultures, architectures, people, all in one place. This is the best place for any Canadian or visitors of Canada to learn more of this beautiful country. Everyone should visit. Little Canada is the perfect place for family, friends, and for any occasion. I was really impressed by the attention to detail, character design and craftmanship for all the sceneries. The smooth animations allow the models to come to life, such as the Go Train, TTC, cars, people, Canada Day fireworks, Bay of Fundy tides, Niagara Falls, etc. The night and day cycle creates a completely different perspective from dawn to midnight so you would not get tired of the view. My favourite was Little Toronto as I recognized most of the sights and they were especially pretty at night when the lights were lit. We often walk pass these amazing places in real life and do not take the time to appreciate them due to our busy schedules. Little Niagara was also spectacular and they re-created the powerful falls in the best way they can. Another highlight was the Canada Day celebrations at Parliament Hill which was quite an immersive experience. While I am not as familiar with Quebec and Atlantic Canada, the charming views sparked my curiosities and I recorded many sights on my to-go list. They further added variety to Little Canada by decorating Quebec as a winter wonderland. Meanwhile, Little East Coast received the fall theme with the changing leafs. As of summer 2024, the available areas are: Little Niagara, Little Toronto, Little Golden Horseshoe, Little Ottawa, Petit Québec and Little East Coast. Little West Coast will be next in line. I also see Little Rockies, Little Prairies, and Little North in development (probably 2025/2026?) You can easily spend 2 - 3 hours here and more as they expand. For future improvements: Wifi is quite spotty, this makes it difficult to share on social media while on site. Secondly, the cafe isn't very popular given there are so many other food options at Yonge/Dundas. Either they reduce the prices substantially or use the space for something else. Lastly, the areas that were added later, such as Little East Coast does not have as many animations as the earlier exhibitions. You can tell they spent a lot of more efforts on Little Toronto and Niagara. Ideally, we would like to see equal amount of liveliness for all areas.

    Location was not hard to find. You just have to take the escalator down. 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.

    Arrived on a weekend morning and it was not too crowded. The attendant at the beginning gave us a hint sheet to find all the red Canadian moose which were hidden throughout each exhibit. It was a fun way to get the whole family interact and pay attention to every detail of the exhibit! My favourite was the firework display at the Ottawa exhibit. Each exhibit was very detailed and it was neat spotting iconic buildings in every big city! Great way to spend a couple hours exploring the miniature version of Canada. Highly recommend a visit.

    Fun place for family, couples, school groups or new people to Canada! We came as a school group with MANY international students. It was a great way to showcase all key places in Canada in a more compact way. Many different provinces and key Canadian locations are turned into mini collections to explore. Scavenger hunts and activities can be planned to locate items (keep an eye out for the mini red moose) Mini Quebec stood out for us! There is even a section that has staff showing you how the cars, trains and boats move. Cool thing learned is that there can be car crashes just like in real roads. Washrooms were spotless Coach check is available Fair priced Snack areas inside with beverages and food for purchase Gift stop at the end Staff are very friendly and informative Sets change and have stuff added based on the seasons Exhibits change if it's day or night (nights last 6 minutes and days last 9 minutes) New exhibits are coming in 2025 Only let down was the coffee was stale And cold :( not a busy day but should have made a new batch.

    Little Canada was my favorite attraction during a visit to Toronto. You can easily spend more than 2 hours here. I love that there are guides in every section to ask questions or offer insightful info about all the mini figurines and towns. The Maurice scavenger hunt makes it more engaging on top of finding cultural references throughout. The details are immaculate and all the workers were so nice answering questions. Definitely plan to come here again when they expand!

    This is hands down the best exhibit I've ever been too! The attention to detail on the pieces, the Easter eggs, the different areas of Canada, the inclusion of all Canadian culture and not just what's considered mainstream was breathtaking. I can't wait until they complete more sections in the exhibit! It is worth every $$ !

    It I could give this 7 stars I would! I was magic. Not only are allllll of the staff so damn nice, but the exhibit itself is wonderful. I've been gushing around it all week. The staff were helpful and friendly and knew so many fun facts. As a nerd I really appreciated this. The exhibit continually goes from day to night so you can see it in both ways (I'd love Day to last a little longer so I could see more details but it did force me to take my time which I could do more often haha) So many amazing little details and what really go me was all the humour throughout. Just hilarious little moments that were nods to movies and character we know or just silly thing that would be impossible in the real world. You can also make a mini you and add it wherever you like to the different scenes. So neat! THEN you can go behind the scenes and see then making the next places AND talk with the talented artists. I can't wait to go back at the end of May when more is open.

    I loved my visit to the ROM. I didn't get to see all of it, but what I did see was impressive…read more Starting with the dinosaur skeletons and then on to the antiquities, it was really enjoyable. We had a 4 year old with us so we spent a lot of time on the 2nd floor with the bees and the bats and the animals, but I enjoyed it just as much. The play area they have set up for the kids is brilliant, it engages the kids while also getting them involved in 'art' and 'design'. We made a bee out of pipe cleaners and then played in the garden area. I plan on coming back to Toronto next year and I want to come back to see what I missed.

    Toronto Review 7/Many: I went to the Royal Ontario Museum as the first of many museums/exhibitions…read morewe did in the city. Apparently, tickets are cheaper if you book them online, but they were reasonable enough, with the typical discounts for seniors or kids. We added both the special exhibits, and for those interested, I would recommend one (Psychedelics) but not the other (Bees.) The first floor included the first special exhibit, "Bees: A Story of Survival," which was a collaboration/moving exhibition by the National Museums Liverpool along with Wolfgang Buttress. The exhibit covered bees in many ways, including their habits, conservation, and other topics. This was all presented in a series of corridors with many touch screens, though one of them wasn't working right. The rooms overall were pretty dark, with the whole exhibit being pretty abstract, including hives large enough for us to walk through, among other things. In the background, there was a mix of classical music and the sound of bees, but I couldn't really hear the bees, which might be a good thing, honestly. Overall, it was a bit of a letdown as it was just a bit too abstract for my liking, which was a bit of a buzzkill. Soon after, we beelined (okay, I'll stop) to the other exhibit, which was on the 4th floor. The other, much better exhibit, was "Psychedelics: Art, Culture. Science." It was a bit hard to find, as it was through an extra door which probably needs a label, but once inside, it was excellent. It was quite large and included various methods cultures have used to consume said substances, some music and other things created by said cultures, and many paintings/albums inspired by psychedelics. The exhibit also included a video portraying a "trip," which was unique and quite loud. It also ended with a nice artwork by Brian Blomerth (or should I say blometh for this exhibit/I kid,) who also has a rather trippy homepage. Outside of the two special exhibits, we went through a variety of things before getting hungry. Another exhibit I enjoyed was "Shokkan: Material Encounters in Japanese Art," which included some touchable objects and some good details and facts that I wasn't personally aware of. There was also a room that went over the various fauna and flora of Crawford Lake, and otherwise we checked out some general things. The other exhibits included suits of armor/weapons, a good mixture of dinosaurs, a more general Asian gallery (which unfortunately had a lot of background noise as they were working on another room, so we left,) and a small exhibit on Judaica. A particular highlight of the rest was a section going over various periods of European history, ranging from Baroque to Renaissance to semi-modern styles, including examples of rooms, architecture, music, and other things. While not my favorite thing we did on the trip, this was an excellent museum overall. I can see why it's so popular, and I would go back to see other exhibits so I could see the rest of the museum.

    Thoughts while going through AGO... "What the F%$K?" (most…read morepopular, not in a bad way) "That's awesome!" "That is stupid." "My 9 year old Niece might have painted that..." I'm sure you'll feel the same way... Not the best art museum in the whole world, but they go plenty of variety from ancient, to classical, to masterpieces, to crappy pieces, to what the heck is that.. I've been to the Uffizi in Florence, Louvre in Paris, National Gallery in Oslo, and other fancy schmancy museums... they're all great too...but I love the extra modern and contemporary art! Weird rocks my world. I am weird! $30 CAD / $23 USD for an Adult ticket, but I had the CityPass so this was one of my included attractions. $30 isn't cheap, but I spent almost 2 hours here becoming more cultured, enlightened, and elitist...so I think I got my money's worth.

    I like to visit the AGO every year to check out the new artists' work, paintings, and sculptures…read moredisplayed. It's always refreshing seeing creative work in action, so this is my go-to spot for an intriguing, adventurous day out. My favourite theme was the KAWS display. They had multiple sculptures of KAWS in different colors, shapes and sizes. They also had a few KAWS x Simpsons paintings, which was my absolute favourite. I'm a huge Simpsons fan, so this was truly exciting to see. The gallery was bright, perfect for a photo-op to post on socials. I had a wonderful time, and I can't wait to visit again! If you're looking for a day out that'll inspire your creativity and stun you, this is definitely the spot to visit with friends or family.
