The place's theme was sustainability ad protecting the earth, and they made it pretty engaging. There are also things to interact with and watch. The VR with the tablets was actually surprisingly cool. Each room in the experience was so spectacularly made that it was breathtaking. Finally, the virtual reality experience at the end was one of the coolest things I have ever done in Toronto. Before you go, note that it is heavily reliant on technology. It is also best to have storage to download the app on your phone, unless you want to borrow a tablet. This was a cool experience that I would recommend for people of all ages.

Visited Arcadia Earth recently and overall had a good experience!…read more The space is beautifully designed with lots of immersive, photo-worthy rooms and a strong focus on environmental awareness. I love how they combine art + technology to teach about climate change in a way that's easy for kids to understand. The VR feature and interactive elements were fun, and it's definitely a great place for families or anyone looking for something different to do in Toronto. That said, for the price (~$39), it may feel a bit short for some people, and it's more of a "go once" type of experience. Still, I appreciate the message behind it and think it's worth checking out at least once--especially with kids!

So much fun to see some of the miniature Toronto scenes that we had just seen minutes earlier in real life. And the whole thing really inspires me to get out and see more of Canada in the future. The level of detail is truly astounding and I could have easily spent several hours reading all of the signs and looking at everything. Favorites included getting to see the workshop where the artists work and chatting with one of them, the room that is kept extra cold to represent the far north, and the miniaturization station where they use dozens of cameras and a 3D printer to create miniature models of museum visitors that can then be taken home or placed somewhere in one of the exhibits. Such a fascinating exhibit that we loved and would definitely return to!

It is a very large venue in the basement of The Tenor. When it opened, it showcased the Golden Horseshoe, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec City, The Maritimes, West Coast (Vancouver, Victoria, Capilano, Okanagan, Tofino), and Northwest Territories. Everything is built to scale. There are moving vehicles and other animations. Each location is also shown in a 24h cycle in 15 mins or so. More Canadian destinations continued to be added, taking 9-12 months to complete. The Little North exhibit is kept in a cooler temperature-controlled room, so that guests can see their breath as they exhale! In Nov 2024, Mini Media was introduced for advertisements embedded within the exhibits like scaled miniature billboards, transit shelters, and murals. There is a Littlization Station. There are 128 cameras that take a 360 degree picture simultaneously of a visitor. They then make two 1/87th scale replica 3D printed models, one of which you take home, and one to be placed in any location you choose! Entry prices increase as there are more attractions added. You can also buy a yearly membership. The venue is open 364 days a year! There are cheaper prices for children (4-12yo), students, and seniors (65+yo). In 2023 Little Canada was named Ontario's Choice Awards Attraction of the Year by Attractions Canada. They do honour the Access 2 card. There is free WiFi. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and paid parking lots. Review 2026-147

The moving animated story of Wizard of Oz projected onto all the walls was interesting and visually pleasing. You have 2 hosts, narrating and guiding the audience through the story which lasts about 30 min. Definitely a unique format to present and view a story, and I could see the little children really enjoying this. The Lite Brite show was also pretty neat as well with different themed features (dinosaurs, space, under water...etc) with interactive game components are narrated by the same hosts who was part of the Wizard of Oz earlier. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but for our groups of a pre-teen and 4 young at hearts, we had a good time.

Thanks to Kat F. and the generosity of the Yelp Weekly sponsors, I was among the lucky handful of Yelpers who got free tix to see "Puppetry of the Penis: The Ancient Art of Genital Origami" at Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre. But before the main event, we had to endure 40-some-odd minutes of yet another tired-ass female comedienne's routine. This time, Shelley "cock and chocolate are all I want for Christmas" Marshall was serving up a big platter of mediocrity. If a raunchy version of the Cathy comics is funny to you, then you might've liked her. Personally, Marshall's brand of humor has me groaning in pain more than laughing in hysterics. She was in her element, though, as she had the almost-entirely menopausal audience in stitches. After a long intermission, the evening's stars took center stage. I was under the impression that the performers are Australian so I was a little bit disappointed when the puppeteers, Christopher Cannon and Rich Binning, turned out to be American. An Aussie accent would've made this so much funnier. They're also much younger (and cuter) than the original performers so I felt a bit like a perv staring at their peckers throughout the show. Apparently, they're in their early 20s but they look like the fresh-faced high-school kids who might shovel your snow this winter. The title of the act is also a bit misleading; Cannon and Binning do not use puppets. They stand before you completely buck naked and their only "props" are their respective schlongs which they manipulate into various poses. Some music, sound effects, and canned comedic banter intersperses each dick trick and the shapes they create run the gamut. Some are no-brainers: The Pelican, Yoda, A Man-gina; others were a "stretch": The Eiffel Tower, The Windsurfer; and still others had me scratching my head, wondering, "How in the hell...?": The Wristwatch, The Baby Bird, and their pièce de resistance, The Hamburger. Not knowing how close I'd be to the stage, I brought my binoculars. But I really didn't need them as we were about six rows back. In addition, the funky junk is displayed on a projection screen magnified large enough so you can see every hair, goose bump, and wrinkle. Kind of gross but these features really came in handy when representing KFC extra crispy chicken. Like I said, the audience was mostly older women and judging from their reactions (and rather immense proportions), I'd put the majority of them in the cock-and-chocolate camp. They were hooting and hollering, practically in tears. One woman was doubled over in so much laughter, she looked like she was going to tumble out of her balcony box seat and go splat on the floor. Overall, I'm glad the ticket was free because I wouldn't pay $50 for a performance like this. A few of the PotP moves would be sure to amuse as neat parlor tricks but an entire show devoted to them? Meh. Once you get over the shock value, the penis puppetry quickly devolves from phallic Cirque du Soleil into Cirque du So Lame. P.S. Yelp is asking, "Good for kids?" I'm going to vote yes, just cuz.

How it works is that there are rooms with a selection of back drops for you to take photos/videos in. There aren't much restrictions on what you can or cannot do (maybe except for breaking things LOL). Basically, let your creativity out and strike as many poses as you can. Be mindful that there might be other people who wants to take photos in that room, so make to share. It was a fun experience but it's something where I'd probably only come once or twice. TIP: My friend and I chose the last time slot on a weekday and we had much more time to take photos as there were not much people in there except us. So if you want to not feel rushed, it's best to go on a weekday around closing time :)

I'm surprised they haven't won more awards for their rooms or close contender bragging rights. Clue: 4* Some rooms have hints on a screen and follows your progress based on where you've progressed. Some rooms are a white button and they'll come into your room to assist you, no walkie talkies thank goodness! Lighting 3* They feel it is enough and the main focus clues are properly illuminated. We feel it's still too dark to read some clues like book titles and request their flashlight every time. Staff 5* All staff here over the years have been awesome! Friendly, passionate,mature and all game lovers themselves. Game puzzles 3*-5* Some are well done, clever and creative. no locks and combos and they progressed to top of the line puzzles. We did find not all were well timed and one finale puzzle just plain lazy as if they lost their puzzle maker. We've done almost all their rooms and even ones they've replaced. The Missing Will: so much potential at the start but with an unsatisfactory end! It's like they ran out of time or money as the puzzles did not compare. The ending was too sudden and we stood there having won but confused this was it instead of their usual wrap up theme. It's not scary at all but with a supernatural theme. It's also perfect for larger groups or friends with adhd. The roles you pick can help give clues and hints for solving your character puzzles aside from the main ones. This is also what makes it frustrating for us, as we want to clear all puzzles and it's not possible/necessary. Pathogen: interesting how the game can change based on your progress, choices and hints. We won with a minute thirty to spare. Bring a friend that reads everything as ours rushed before following orders, one that isn't colour blind, and one that isn't afraid to go somewhere alone. Not scary on this room. Noriko: scary theme! For me it wasn't the doll props and flashy lighting but the background music and special effect noise. I couldn't concentrate very well as I found that triggering and this had the darkest rooms with poorest lighting at their establishment. Tip: Bring a friend that is musical, don't bring friends afraid of scary movies! Crossroads: dark thriller vibe, liked the choice to choose a decision to effect ending, the changing atmosphere to fit the evolving story and ending was fun. My friends liked this room a lot and played it two more times after our win and couldn't break out with the other two groups. Lounge: only standing room now. No board games offered anymore. They sell canned pop and waters, have 3 clean washrooms. Photo board is self run at the entrance on a timer but terrible angle and background. $10 off for back to back games.
