Stanley Park in Vancouver B.C. offers more than just scenic strolls.

The flowers are in bloom and the plants are lively at Butchart Gardens.

Your whole family will appreciate Toronto’s fun learning experiences.
Toronto
The largest metropolis of Canada is Toronto. While this cosmopolitan city is energetic, it retains a decidedly unexpected degree of friendliness and charm. Families with children of all ages will enjoy the fun and exciting experiences this city has to offer. From 20th century farm life experiences of Riverdale Farm, to visiting some of its interesting museums (including the Bata Shoe Museum which is dedicated to the curation and exhibition of footwear), to spending an entire day at Ripley’s Aquarium (which is Canada’s largest aquarium), your family will appreciate all of Toronto’s fun learning experiences. Of course, a family vacation to Toronto isn’t complete without experiencing some of its exciting and thrilling adventures: Riding exciting roller coasters and attractions at Canada’s Wonderland as well as walking along the on the extreme edge while being tethered to of one of the world’s tallest buildings, The EdgeWalk at CN Tower. The culinary offerings of Toronto don’t disappoint. Local and regionally sourced ingredients abound in many of Toronto’s restaurants. Some of the city's very best Caribbean, Indian, African and Asian dining establishments are located at Kensington Market, while the very authentic Peameal Bacon Sandwich can be enjoyed at St. Lawrence Market. This delightfully savory sandwich contains slices of cured pork loin that has been rolled in cornmeal and nestled in a soft bun with mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce and cheddar cheese. Very Torontonian!
Taking a self- guided tour of the Notre-Dame Basilica Montréal is highly recommended.
Montréal
One thing’s for sure, Québec is one of the most standout provinces in Canada, particularly since it is the only province in Canada where French is the primary language. You will certainly feel as if you have been transported to Europe once you arrive in this magical place. And more than likely, you will arrive in Québec via its largest city, Montréal. - Opens a dialog An ideal destination for families with children of all ages, your family will enjoy the theme park thrills of La Ronde which is filled with an impressive array of over 40 rides and attractions, eight of which happen to be roller coasters (including one that’s a hypercoaster)! And if your family enjoys aquatic thrills, then there’s one experience that should not be missed: Jet boating the St. Lawrence River with Saute-Moutons! This isn’t a typical speed boat-type ride on calm water. In fact, your boat (commanded by a seasoned Captain) will experience the power of the Lachine Rapids, and in the process, you and your family will find themselves completely drenched and exhilarated from the ride. However, if you’re looking for a bit more of a sedate experience, you should enjoy some of the wonderful restaurants, gastropubs, cafes, and bakeries throughout the Old Port of Montréal. Afterwards, bask in the amazing views of this amazing city from Mont Royal Park as well as the Montréal Observation Wheel. Additionally, taking a self- guided tour of the Notre-Dame Basilica Montréal is highly recommended. You’ll be in awe of its architecture, paintings, and sculptures as well as learning about the founding of Montréal.
