Little Canada (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Little Canada?
What makes it 67% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and strollers fit the flat aisles, yet no on-site nursing room or guaranteed change table means parents may trek to Eaton Centre facilities, so practicality is fair, not great.

Positives:
- Stroller-friendly layout: Wide, flat aisles and elevator access make it easy to navigate with a stroller.
- Free baby admission: Babies under 4 enter at no cost, so you only pay for two adult tickets.
- Interactive lights and sounds: Gentle motion and light effects entertain babies without need for a play area.
Challenges:
- No private nursing room: There’s no dedicated nursing space inside; use Eaton Centre’s family rooms nearby.
- Dim exhibit lighting: Some scenes are dark; bring a light blanket or cover to keep your baby comfortable.
- Limited baby seating: Benches are sparse; plan a break at Little Bites Café or mall seating area.

This was a backup optional activity for our trip, and turned out surprisingly fun and engaging. We spent a few hours here, even though none of us are into miniature anything nor railway models. It's amazingly detailed, with many fun little Easter eggs to find in every exhibit. The model trains, cars, and boats all drive around, and there are day/night cycles making the whole experience very varied...

This place was very cool to experience, I kinda knew what to expect because I saw some pictures online but in person was way better. It was so cool to see Canada mini size and all of Canada. Me and my son were in town on vacation from NYC and it was great. I wish we had something like that. My favorite part is Nova Scotia and Toronto (duh)! 😄 The Niagara Falls part was very cool, seeing the boat ...

Visited this gem today. Wow this was amazing to see. I did the tour from 5:30-7:15 and it was fantastic. Michael our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour described everything. You don’t need to do the tour you can walk around yourself. I recommend 3 hours here as you’ll want to see it all and really look closely at the exhibits. The models were so well done and so many automations. Ther...
