WHAT TO DO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN CANADA

Canada is bursting with fun activities that your family holiday should not miss out on. These activities provide a unique insight into the culture and surroundings of the area's natural splendour that cannot be experienced with sightseeing alone.

Your whole family can live like a Cowboy out in the West, soaring along snowy mountains on a super-speedy dogsled tour in Whistler or even get up-close and personal with the roaring Niagara Falls on a cruise that is sure to make a splash.

Our collection of unmissable experiences will really help bring your Canada family holiday to life.
Voyage to the Falls
15 minutes
Departs: Niagara Falls

Time to come face to face with the famous Niagara Falls! Canada’s ’must-do’ attraction sure packs a punch and you’ll enjoy stunning views of the American Falls on your cruise through Niagara Gorge before seeing the awesome power of the Horseshoe Falls up close. Make sure you tie your poncho up tight!

Cowboy Cookout
3 hours

For a true cowboy experience, join a covered wagon ride through the great Canadian outdoors. This authentic tour follows a route along beautiful Bow River between the Rocky Mountains to a traditional cowboy cookout. Join in the fun on the lush grassy field and try your hand at lassoing, horseshoe throwing and other cowboy games before a barbecue steak cookout. Duration: approx 3hrs.

Jasper Wildlife Discovery
3-4 hours
Departs: Jasper

Jasper National Park is a well-known World Heritage site thanks to its natural beauty and historical significance. Sit back and listen to your local guide/driver as you hear about the history, geology and ecology of the area as you uncover some of Jasper’s hidden gems.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CANADA?

Canada is a great year round destination. While temperatures can get very cold, winter is a magical time to visit and a good time to experience cold weather activities such as skiing. Spring has fewer crowds, sunshine and snow, while summers are warm and sunny, and the perfect time to enjoy the abundance of outdoor activities on offer. Temperatures start to drop in the autumn, when moose and bear are easiest to see and the autumn colours are a true match for those found in New England.

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Canada.

Canada Family Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Clare Bloom -  expert
Clare Bloom

On a family motorhome holiday to Alberta, I highly recommend the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller. Afterwards, stay a couple of nights at Dinosaur National Park campsite which offers lots of activities for families like fossil hunting. Book well in advance!

Pete Orchard -  expert
Pete Orchard

Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario is a fantastic choice for families with young-teenage children. So many activities are on offer in the village and the adventure park. In Spring-Autumn, take part in ziplining, a woodland coaster, high-ropes, hiking and gondola rides, and in winter, enjoy skiing and ice-skating.

Tilly Adams -  expert
Tilly Adams

A short drive from Ottawa and Montréal, Montebello is a great option for families wanting to add some relaxation and outdoorsy activities on to an Eastern Canada trip. Explore the charming nearby village and Parc Omega to see wildlife and feed the deer.
