Little Canada is a unique visitor attraction in the heart of Toronto that tells the stories of Canada and showcases the country’s cities & landscapes through the art of miniature.
While miniature, it’s not small. It spans 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.
You can also littlize yourself and your family
Just step inside the Littlization Station to get shrunk into a 3D printed Little Me! Strike your favourite pose as 128 cameras capture a photo of you. That photo will then be transformed into a 3/4″ version of yourself and it can be placed anywhere in Little Canada or take yourself home!
It’s a great memento of your families visit.
How it all got started
As a new Canadian, Jean-Louis was inspired to learn all about his new home.
This land and its peoples have diverse and rich stories that need to be shared, to better understand and appreciate the Canada of today. Jean-Louis felt strongly that those stories needed to be brought to life in a magical way – through the art of miniature. By creating Little Canada, he’s given Canadians, and our global neighbours, the opportunity to experience a true Canadian storytelling treasure.
Having lived in Canada for 25 years, Jean-Louis’ perspective is one of constant discovery and curiosity allowing us to bring to life unique stories. As a new immigrant, we want you to feel welcome and discover your new home – what better way than to take a few hours to explore.
Little Canada is located at 10 Dundas St. East in Toronto right across from the Eaton Centre.
