Little Canada
Introduction
Little Canada is an extraordinary miniature attraction located at 10 Dundas Street East, Toronto, Ontario, in the very heart of the city. It is a place where visitors can embark on a journey across Canada — from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast — in carefully crafted small scale. With its detailed scenes, engaging landscapes, and iconic landmarks, Little Canada offers a fresh way to explore the country’s geography, culture, and natural beauty under one roof.
About the Museum
Little Canada spans 45,000 square feet, roughly the size of two standard hockey rinks, and it showcases Canada through the art of miniature. While every display is miniature, the ambition behind them is large. The museum constructs tiny versions of cities, landscapes, and landmarks, bringing to life architectural and natural wonders with astonishing attention to detail.
One highlight is the miniature version of the CN Tower, which in the context of the exhibit reaches a height of about 12 feet, so even though it is scaled down, it is still imposing. Another natural feature visitors can experience is the simulated Bay of Fundy tides, using a 400-litre basin to represent the highest tides in the world. Across the museum there are more than 40,000 little figures inhabiting the scenes—people, animals, vehicles—making the displays feel lively and immersive.
The experience is not merely static. The displays are built with interactivity, surprises, and hidden details. Visitors may spot little gems tucked into buildings, find movement in the vehicles or trains, and discover fun and clever additions crafted by the makers of the miniatures. The museum also tells stories—of place, people, and environment—so that as you move from one scene to the next, you are also moving geographically and culturally across Canada. Furthermore, Little Canada is committed to accessibility, partnership, and involving its community through events and updates.
