Little Canada was even better than I expected. We enjoyed the representations of Canada in miniature. The accurate details and movements are wonderful. Some are easily spotted, such as the Rogers Centre dome that opens and closes, and the trains that run along tracks. Keep your eyes on the details, or you might miss the chickens pecking in the farmyard or the tide that comes in and out at the Bay of Fundy.
Currently, Little Canada goes from Eastern Canada through Hamilton and Niagara Falls. Signs say that Western Canada is coming in 2024, and in the workshops, I spotted Northwest Territories under construction.
We spent about 1.5 hours. We admired all of miniature Canada, and stopped at the desk for a brief demonstration of how things work.

Do yourself a favour and visit the little Canada, especially if you can't think of anything better to do in the winters.
You can easily spend 2 hours here if you are interested in the world of model creations. The scale models of everything we love about Canada is right here.
My kid loved the model trains running through all the 6 exhibits the most and we loved the night exhibits at the Ottawa parliament house. I could easily spend 3 hours here admiring the level of details they put into each and every exhibit.

one of the finest beaches in Toronto area. very neat and clean the washroom were also very neat and clean .. a good family beach. Thanks to the management for keep up the beach great.
Stanley Park is located on both the south side of King St as well as the north side of King St.
The south side of the park is quite large with an open field area, Picnic tables, baseball diamond, tennis court, public outdoor pool, and fenced in dog park.
On the north side you'll find a large basketball court, public restrooms, childrens playground and splash pad. Picnic tables and benches also surround the park.
It's very clean and well kept. The restrooms are also clean as well. Overall because the park is located between residential buildings and homes it's quite calm with a family friendly welcoming atmosphere. Overall I felt safe. During the summer and weekends it can get quite busy. Many people have birthdays and family get togethers in the open field area during the summer. The pool is also free to the public. It is small and can fill up fast on hot days. A cute place to hang out with friends or take a stroll.

Went there on fall day, Sunday morning. Was not too busy. Beautiful lookout points. Had an opportunity to walk on the bridge. It was cool, windy and refreshing. On October Sunday morning fall colors were lovely. Beautiful view of Toronto
Such a scenic place to admire fall colors!
Lifetime development and Adidas rebuilt the basketball courts here. So now its a nice bright blue color. There's always people here playing basketball or pick up. Love it.
Live right by here but never tire of the view which changes with the weather and seasons. The lake is host to a variety of wildlife and migrating birds.
Little Canada is an extraordinary experience that's truly one-of-a-kind. The attention to detail and craftsmanship in recreating miniature versions of iconic Canadian scenes is remarkable. It's a captivating journey through Canada's diverse landscapes and cultures. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the visit even more enjoyable. This is a must-see attraction that will leave you in awe of the beauty and diversity of Canada. Don't miss it!
After hearing a lot about this place, I had to check it out for myself. My expectations were quite high, and I'm happy to say they were met. This is a must-visit spot for everyone. I was genuinely impressed by the dedication and effort put into it. It's a fantastic place to explore, enjoyable for both kids and adults. The pictures don't do justice to the real experience – you have to see it in person. Don't miss out on this unique experience!
A huge park with lot of space for walking and biking. Dogs must be on leash. Lot of benches and boulders to sit on. Views of docked boats and sailing ones on the lake are photo opps. Paid parking.
A must visit place for all the age groups 2 and above.
The detailing and hard work is beyond imagination. Each city in different seasons in day and night views are beyond spectacular. And scavenger hunt for Maurice the moose keeps you engaged all throughout.
Staff is extremely friendly and warm and you can also see the artists in action making the miniatures while they interest you with fun facts n processes.
This place will easily take 1.5 to 2 hours of your time and might still leave you for wanting more. I am definitely planning my next visit for their upcoming cities.

This was a really interesting museum. If you are interested in locomotives and history, it's pretty amazing to think of what this was once used for. Also pretty cool to see the old rail cars and newer ones too. Have to say I appreciated the little gift shop too - prices that were not outrageous. Finally the little train ride was a good attraction too, not costly and seemed to interest kids and adults alike.
The beach location is easily accessible from the lake shore drive. There is a TTC bus stop right next to the beach providing easy access. Car parking is available but limited. It costs about 1.25$ for every half hour. The parking location can get super crowded on weekends and in summer. Best to come by TTC during those times. There is a Long boardwalk that connects all the beaches along the lake. Lot of people do exercise walking and jogging here. There are lots of dogs here too. You can come here and relax on the benches for people and dog watching. The beach is a long walk from the board walk. Definitely recommend to visit here.
A famous and must see tourist spot for its spectacular design of the building.
I’ve lived across the street from this park for over 10 years and it’s a great park. Lots of green space, picnic tables, a little park for kiddos, a brewery, and a couple restaurant options - and a train museum! They run a little train during the summer you can ride around - best way to see the whole park. Steam Whistle has an annual summer and winter beer festival that’s great. I have so many pics to share through my many years so I’ll try to keep it at a minimum:) - It’s my favorite park in the whole city :)
Large beach, always space to set up. Sand is nice but water is always cold, what else can you expect at Canadian beaches? However, Taking a dip is refreshing though. Tons of volleyball courts if you’re into that. Arrive earlier in the day to avoid crowds, before 2-3pm usually is quieter, parking is always kinda crazy though unless you come first thing. Knocking off a star because washrooms can get gross by the evening and food options are very limited on the board walk. However is a is nice restaurant with a patio, a cafe, booster juice and burger joint a short walk from the boardwalk.
We've been going to this park for over 20 years to watch the air show on the September long weekend and have never been disappointed. The park has a playground for the kids, a public pool, and a splash pad. The park is clean. Dogs must be on a leash.
We love bringing our Shih Tzu to this park, he loves the waves and the views!
Nada para fazer exatamente; mas um delicioso lugar para fazer nada! Contemplar! Olhar! Sentar para comer! Admirar q arquitetura!
The staff is all incredible and obviously love their jobs there. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. We spent about 2.5 hours there, but I was moving very slowly through the exhibits. It is all very detailed and interesting. It's also nice and quiet there, occasional kids running around a bit but there were no large crowds when we went. It's a fun way to see more details of Canada during our short trip here. I cannot recommend this place enough.
One of the coolest places we visited on our trip to Toronto, and one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to in general.
This place is a must stop if you’re visiting Toronto or even if you’re a local. I overheard a staff member telling someone it’s about 90 minutes, but my girlfriend and I took a good 2 and a half hours here as we explored all the details of these incredible displays and works of art.
The level of detail on all the displays is insane. Everything is created with what seems to be painstakingly good detailing, expertly crafted, and placed perfectly. From every single little figure having detailed clothing, to every single car on the congested highways having proper headlights and brake lights. Little details of car crashes or cool little Easter egg interesting people doing some interesting thing are littered all over, only adding to the insane level of detail this place has. Everyone who worked in this truly cared and it shows in their work.
The staff are incredibly friendly and are genuinely excited about the displays and their details. Happy to share cool things you might not see (trust me there’s so much detail it’s impossible to post every little nook and cranny the displays have) and overall just incredibly happy positive people who seem to love where they work, only adding to its excellence.
They currently have several displays up after over a decade of working, and plan to have a handful more compete to finish off all of Canada in around 6 years (it’s more than worth it now already trust me). I will absolutely one day come back to see the rest and would be insanely happy to give them more business.
Cannot recommend this destination enough as a must see for someone in Toronto. Will be telling everyone I know who’s planning a trip to Toronto to go here.

Albert's Bay is the great place for watercraft to gather safely and party. Watch the party on the ground from your boat as well. The best of Etobicoke. #Albert'sBay
A long beach trail, along with the waters, an enjoyable bike ride. The view points have been chosen with a lot of deliberation because the view of CN tower is simply breathtaking. Nice sitting area. Very we’ll maintained.
I always love this place. At any time of the day Woodbine beach is spectacular. I mostly go to see the moonrise and moon beam. Beautiful boardwalk to enjoy a cozy walk. Lots of other activities to do as well, such as kayaking, cycling, playing hand ball etc.
Lovely way to spend the day. The scenery was amazing. Lots of details made into little forms.
The staff were amazingly helpful. They were always popping around to answer questions. We had so much fun.
The interactions with the little creations, day and night time scenery.
There was so much details to look at.
It’s was also more fun looking for Maurice, the moose😀😀
Glad we could take a snapshot for our own little me.

Great place to chill out and so many good angles to take photos! I’m sure amateurs would love this place for some shot practices! Nice blend of the old and the new!
Nice service
Lovely place for kids especially with the little pool during summers (till September 3rd this year). Great place to sit and relax while kids can play. There were 3 staff members who were taking good care and water was clean as was getting changed every 4 hours.
Beautiful walking/running/skateboarding/biking or just walking the dog the view is priceless the weather was pleasant great place for photo shoot.
This is a great park to have a picnic or watch the kids play soccer.
One of Toronto's best-known tourist attractions. Here there is fun and activities everywhere.
Playground for children with a replica of a small locomotive train, slide and seesaw. In the same square is the train museum, with several replicas of old Canadian trains, in addition to the small locomotive ride.
A brewery, some restaurants and it is next to the stadium, CNTower and the Aquarium.
Arriving at the site can be made by car, shuttle cars or public transport, through the union station on the yellow line of the metro. The square is very large and has well-maintained lawns and walking areas, making it possible for everyone to get around.

My old stomping grounds, beautiful memories here. Took my granddaughter here to celebrate her birthday with some friends. I walked the boardwalk, a beautiful place to have a picnic, go for a walk,take a swim in the Olympic pools, or on the sandy beach. Lifeguards on duty when beach is open.
Great little gallery. Free admission. Got a nice intro from the gentleman at the front desk. Excellent exhibit from a local artist. I agree with another reviewer who said they need to up their profile … this is a City gallery so I’m guessing that’s why the operations aren’t at par.

Nice park. Great area for dogs to play. There’s a tennis court. on the opposite side of the road, there’s a basketball court.
Stunning building. It was great to see such a beautiful architecture.
Very great spot if you want to go for a walk in quietude and enjoy the skyline. The stairs can be used for leg day workout routine as well.
visited here with my wife. the park is a beautiful scene. you have dog owners using the long stretch of the fields to play catch, family also playing field games like tennis and i also spotted a very cute father-son baseball catch play.
we’ve been to a couple of parks now but this was quite memorable.

What a beautiful beach. Dog friendly. We had great time with our dog. People were super nice. Nice partys, games on the beach, great music, also they have big bathroom to wash ourselves and water to drink. Great great ambiance. The only negative point, at this place of the beach, there are little stones to walk over to get the water. A little bit annoying compared to another position around the lake but nothing to consider 4 stars instead of 5. 5 stars is well deserved. :)
You need to improve your social media profile. I realize you may have resource shortages (staff and $$) but this is so important for audiences these days. There is currently a great show on the gallery and I'm trying to refresh my memory as to it's title, the artists and organization involved and there's nothing on the website or instagram. ( I don't do Facebook so I don't know about that venue). I was wanting to send info by DM on instagram and couldn't find anything. It's the African Canadian Pride exhibition that's about's about a celebration of a Goddess and involves men dressing up as women in elaborate masked costumes and dancing that I'm talking about. I would have given 5 stars if I wasn't so frustrated about getting info on your current exhibition - even a link to the artists involved would help!
Neat and peaceful waterfront for a quick picnic. There isn’t a lot of stone benches to sit though and no restroom. Parking lot is not big enough as well. Has a good playground and a very good trail for bikers.
The skyscrapers and CN tower view will be good and we were lucky enough to spot rainbow too.

Good place for a mini exercise while enroute Casa Loma and take picture of the Toronto skyline.
A magnificent building was designed by Edward James Lennox who was the architect for Casa Loma too .
Good place to play tennis, play some sports. The baseball field is somewhat limited as the outfield is always packed with people. Also impossible to find good parking so walking/cycling is best.

The best laid back softball ⚾ games in the city. Plus a big dog park even if it's Dirk and wood chips. Needs a convenience store nearby so you can grab some cold drinks.
I love the place. If you are up to engines I think it's a must to visit this place where you can have a look of the different trains in the past. I recommend to try the Biergarten Restaurant in the place.
The expansive waterfront offers panoramic vistas of the lake, with the Toronto skyline in the distance. The park also boasts a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy. There are numerous picnic areas with ample seating and shaded spots, making it an ideal spot for families and friends to gather for a leisurely outdoor meal. The well-placed benches along the waterfront offer a peaceful place to sit and reflect while enjoying the stunning views
Excellent place for kids . I've been here twice, and both times have been amazing. Very friendly staff, efficient service. Nearby food truck Food was great.
Also a fun stop for grabbing a beer. Their tour is interesting. If you go, pull the whistle cord!
Fun place to enjoy with family

Love taking a stroll through the trail along waters edge. There are so many things to discover along the way. The views are spectacular of the city line. There is street parking as well as Green P. Usually on a nice day, the area is very busy so parking is hard to find. A handful of restaurants, food trucks one cafe, Tim Hortons closely around. There are a few benches but mostly people will sit on the rocks or ground.
Secluded, serene and beautiful. Wide walking and cycling tracks. Went for the sunset, stayed for the moonrise.
Very beautiful place ♥️. Extremely well maintained. Amazing bicycle trails. There are nearby coffee shops and restaurants also. Wonderful place for treating yourself with some peaceful moments.
Nice park in a tight neighborhood. Beautiful dogs off leash and friendly owners . You get to view the new overhead guide way for the Newmarket GO train pass by.
This place is a wonderful pitstop 🚏 on your next trip to Toronto! 🇨🇦 The Toronto Old City Hall 🏛️ is a beautiful castle-like 🏰 landmark - definitely a great spot for some Instagram-worthy 🤳 photos! 📸 I wish I could come here more often!
Breathtaking view from up here!
Worth the climb!
And for all the pop culture nerds out there, Scott Pilgrim vs the World had the skating crash scene filmed here!

Prefect place for a little day off strolling in the afternoon. Great lake view! Parking is kind of tricky however.
I was not to bad. Basketball court still was full of water. Probably due to the rain we had lately
Another hidden gem of downtown Toronto. This beautiful gallery is inclosed within the St. Lawrence Market and is easy to miss in this bustling place. But if you look up from the market's upper level, you'll see the distinctive building which is actually a remnant (council chamber) of the Toronto's first city hall - (which now houses the gallery). It is free to visit (along with the other 9 city of Toronto museum sites) and is open from Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. Currently (winter of 2023) there is an exhibit dedicated to the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, which takes place every summer in front of the (new) City Hall, showcasing artwork purchased by former mayors of Toronto. 60 very interesting and thought provoking pieces are on display (different media, including photography, oil, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media). Staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable and happy to share the history of the building and facts about current exhibits. The gallery also contains some memorabilia, like the original mayor's chair. If you would like to see more pictures about the city and its history check out the photographs in the food court on the lower level of the St. Lawrence Market (under the gallery). I really recommend visiting this place - a nice break from the super busy market (and you get an awesome vista of it from the gallery windows). I wish the gallery was advertised more, as probably not that many of the market's visitors are aware that this little treasure is just steps away. and it's free!
One of the best architectures still standing in this town. Found some spooky stuff about it though. Courtroom 33 is rumoured to be haunted. There’s a theory that it’s the spirits of the last two men sentenced to capital punishment in Canada in 1962. In a rear stairwell, there are reports of footsteps being heard, plus judges have felt tugging on their robes. Moans have been heard in the cellars of the majestic old building, which was the holding area for prisoners.
Nice open park area in the centre of the city. Located right near some other major attractions like Ripley’s Aquarium, CN Tower, Convention Centre, Rogers Stadium and more. There are a bunch of old train cars, engines and a caboose on site that are great to tour, photograph and just generally explore in the park. Fun spot for kids to visit.
What a Great man. My inspiration! The greatest ruler ever to ever exist is Winston churchill. 🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇨🇦
Beautiful example of old Toronto architecture. The war memorial stands out front and is where the Remembrance Day services are held each year. So much history in this building. Built in 1899 and was used as Toronto’s city hall until 1966. This is a National Historic Site.
Most people probably don't know these art gallery exist on the second floor. At the moment lots of the paintings feature a Toronto base theme, there is no entry fee though I see donations are accepted.
Neat park, tucked in the Junction triangle. Kiddo plays in a soccer league there and she greatly enjoys it. There is a wadding pool/splash feature and a playground as well as a hockey rink. Everything I've gone there is young adults having a good time either playing soccer or picnic-ing
Nice little park in the block. Nicely maintained field.
I encountered this place while going to the Casa Loma and found it really beautiful. You will have a nice view of the downtown cityscape along with the CN Tower from here. In every level of the stairs you will find sitting area if you are not that fit. On the top there's a nice garden. You can do small picnic there along with the view. Water refill option is available there too.
This is a nice place for a view of the CN tower and more of downtown. There are three bikesharing stations around this location, so it is pretty bikeable. You could have a small picnic there on the grass too or sit on the stairs. It is also quite calming to see cars and buses go by in the distance.
Nice park with a large splash pad.
Great place which offers a lovely view of the skyline. Located right next to casa loma. There aren't many stairs to climb so even if you are not in the greatest of shape should not be an issue. And if you come from the casa loma entrance side you can get to the top of the stairs avoiding the climb altogether.
According to the information ℹ️ sign everything below Baldwin Steps had been underwater during the last ice age.

Its a good park with all the basic stuff (basketball court, picnic tables, kids playground, public washrooms) and it is in a very central easy to access location. The playground is old and has sand that can be annoying on the feet depending of the footware. The north side has more shadow than the south part.
One of the best areas to walk in the city! Lake Ontario is so beautiful and awe- inspiring at any time of the year. Paved paths for both pedestrians and cyclists and also places to go where you feel like you're totally alone and out in nature. Remarkable!
Excellent for climbing, especially if you're high

These steps take you up to the hill over to Castle Loma. It's probably nearly 100 steps or so and is a decent climb with a great view of the city. On spring and summer days, you'll find the blooming flowers along the steps.
2021 4★ Nice view of the city. If your in the area, there's casa loma and the spadina museum just north of the stairs. Nothing to see at the actual park. Good view point of the city from just north of the city on a clear day.

A calming peaceful green oasis in the heart of the financial district.
It's a nice little gallery. They have an exhibition until April 2020 about Street Art and the organization that is behind. And it is free for this particular exhibition. I didn't know where those murals come from. It has been a discovery to know that there is a huge work from the City of Toronto and many artist not only to decorate the city but also to mentor artists at all stages of their development.
I visited on a field trip and was so delighted! The man who was guiding us was funny, friendly, and sarcastic. We had a blast doing the various activities prepared and visiting the historic St. Lawrence Market.
This small but mighty gallery is on the second floor of the iconic St Lawrence Market, and is the former home of City Hall. The exhibit on now: "Toronto through the eyes of women artists". May is "Museum Month" in the city of Toronto, meaning that you can get into nine city of Toronto-run museums for free with your Toronto library card. Visit here and you will get a terrific view of the St Lawrence Market below.
A gorgeous and imposing sculpture. But that's meant to be the point of it - Churchill is larger than life, literally.
As every other historical person he was controversial figure but in the 1940 he was simply the central figure after fall of France and this monument is interesting if little smallish for such important man.
Nice small place if you have a spare moment to have a look at it it is well worth it.
A small location where one can sit down and learn a bit about history
Nice quiet spot in downtown Toronto. They had just replaced the grass.
Visited in April 2018 to see the Jazz Clubs Of Toronto exhibit. Space compact, content as good as it could be for the theme. Being literally above St Lawrence Market it was a great chance to stock up on fine foods.
""The impact of this great man warrants reflection, as he did so much to ensure that a democratic society prevailed in a time of conflict and chaos." The 10-foot bronze statue was commissioned by the late Henry R. Jackman and was designed and cast by renowned artist Oscar Nemon. Originally dedicated in 1977 by former Mayor David Crombie, it was moved from its earlier location facing Queen Street as part of the overall revitalization of Nathan Phillips Square. The statue is now located at the Northwest side of City Hall, near the corner of Amoury and Chestnut Streets.
The playground area covered in sand; nice and soft. If your kids love to play with sand this is the one! This place also has wading pool during summer time which is very nice!!! Its open from 12-7pm but come at around 1.30. They should be done with putting chemical in the pool around that time.
Mr. Winston Churchill, a great man !
Very impressed with this park. Great picnic area, large field, playground the kids enjoyed and community dinners for a reasonable price on Saturdays!
