7 awesome ways to explore Canada virtually

Sometimes travel isn’t always possible. Whether you’ve been asked to stay inside or you work full time and can’t travel as often as you like, or maybe you’re housebound because you broke your ankle, I don’t know, travel just isn’t always possible. Luckily, technology and a group of crafty people have come together to offer ways to explore Canada virtually.

Canada is a big freaking country with many city centres, museums, galleries and natural wonders, but there are ways that you can see it all from the comfort of your own home. This makes it the cheapest way to travel across Canada!

There are several ways to explore Canada virtually, from live cams to street views to virtual tours. I’ve tried to list as many as I could find, but there are likely more out there. If there’s a spot you really want to see, try typing “(location) virtual tour” into your search bar, and you’ll probably find something!

Live Cams of Canada’s natural beauty

The first way to explore Canada virtually is through the live cameras placed all around Canada. They can offer a sweet escape from reality while giving you incredible views of Canada’s natural beauty.

Orcas are freaking amazing. They are one of the coolest marine mammals out there, and in Canada, you can see them almost year-round off the coast of British Columbia. In this particular live cam , you can watch Orcas rub their bellies against the smooth pebbles of Johnstone Strait at Blackfish Sound.

It’s a popular spot, so you can also watch from above too, where you might even spy other animals like sea lions and eagles.

There’s nothing ~cooler~ than seeing polar bears in the wild. But if you’re stuck at home, why not watch them on a live cam placed at Wapusk National Park in Manitoba. It’s one of the largest concentrations of polar bear dens. While October and November are the busy months, you can go back and watch the highlights!

Algonquin Provincial Park is one popular park in Ontario. It sees thousands of visitors during the summer and fall, but you can enjoy the views from the comfort of your armchair with this live cam . The camera is placed at the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre and overlooks the gorgeous valley!

Niagara Falls has to be one of Canada’s top destinations. But you can see the power of the falls from the live cam mounted at Fallsview Casino . Sometimes it gets so misty that it covers the camera and other times, like a night, you’ll want to watch for hours for the light show!

Pier 21 in Nova Scotia welcomed thousands of immigrants to Canada from 1928 to 1971. Today, it’s a National Museum of Immigration. You can view the harbour, the Port Authority and the Seaport Farmers’ Market as well as Georges Island National Historic Site. Click the Ship Tracker to learn more about the boats you see on the live camera.

Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, likely the most famous lighthouse in Canada, even has its own live cam . Watch the sunrise light up the famous landmark or watch the sunset over the harbour.

There’s no doubt that most people have “seeing the northern lights” on their bucket list. But when you’re stuck at home, check out the Churchill Northern Studies Centre’s northern light cam in Churchill, Manitoba and watch them curled up on your couch.

Late winter and early spring are the best times for the aurora and, obviously, at night, BUT you can skip back to the previous night to see if the lights made an appearance.

Enjoy the 360-degree views of Toronto, Ontario, with the webcam atop the CN Tower . When the clouds don’t hide the view, you can see Lake Ontario, Toronto Islands, the Roger Centre and more.

Take in the view of the Narrows and the Harbour of St. John’s Newfoundland from this webcam. Watch the sunrise or try to spot icebergs in the distance.

On the opposite side of Canada, watch the waves crash against the beach at Long Beach Resort in Tofino, British Columbia. Come back for sunset and watch the sun sink below the horizon over the Pacific Ocean.

Live Cams of Canada’s Zoos

If you’ve wanted to check out Canada’s zoos, then you can do that from the comfort of your own home. Hey, it’s one way to explore Canada virtually!

If you love Shark Week, then you’ll love the Shark Cam at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto. I definitely jumped when a shark zoomed across the screen, super close to the camera.

Find more places to check out virtually in Ontario here.

If you’d rather watch cuddly sea creatures, then the Sea Otter Cam at the Vancouver Aquarium is for you. You never know what you’ll catch of these playful critters. They’ve got an underwater cam too! And if you want to see the other critters, Vancouver Aquarium also has a penguin cam and jelly cam .

Pandas are such fun to watch! And the Calgary Zoo has three (yes, three!) panda cams set up to give you the best view of these lovable, goofy bears every day from 9 am to 6 pm. You can even get in line to control the cameras!

Canada boasts some of the most incredible natural landscapes; from coast to coast to coast, we’ve got some of the best (and most remote) national parks in the world. But you can easily explore Canada virtually through a google street view project that Parks Canada completed in 2017.

You can explore every one of Canada’s 43 National Parks and many of its National Historic Sites. Check out the featured sites , or scroll to the bottom to see the list of places to explore sorted by province.

RELATED: Best Ontario Provincial Parks to visit in fall

My favourites are:

• L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site in British Columbia
• Fathom Five National Marine Park in Ontario
• Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan
• Ivvavik National Park in Nunavut

Soar above your Canadian bucket list places with the help of aerial tours. There are many videos online of cinematic and 4K views of Canadian hotspots, like Banff, Toronto, Vancouver and more. This is a high-def way you can explore Canada virtually.

Here are some of my favourites:

• Above the Rocky Mountains – a 4K journey in Banff
• Welcome to Canada – a 4K drone film of Ottawa
• Vancouver, Canada by drone
• Downtown Toronto by drone
• Downtown Calgary by drone
• Northern Newfoundland and Labrador by drone

If seeing one of Canada’s great museums or galleries, then this way to explore Canada virtually should be right up your alley.

Many museums, like the Royal Ontario Museum and Canadian Museum of Human Rights, all have fantastic programs that you can use to learn all from the comfort of your own home. You can find a giant list of them on Virtual Museums .

Here are more online guides for museums and galleries across Canada:

• Vancouver Art Gallery has a number of their galleries online.
• The Art Gallery of Ontario has almost its entire collection online .
• The Royal Ontario Museum has thousands of artifacts, objects and specimens available online. You can even explore the museum through Google Street View!
• From puppets to golf to dogsledding, the Canadian Museum of History has dozens of curated collections available online.
• Deep dive into heartbreaking and inspirational stories of human rights online at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights .
• Interested in military history? Then check out the online galleries of the Canadian War Museum .
• The Canadian Museums of Science and Technology have so many online topics to explore.
• Explore the collections of the Canadian Museum of Nature .
• The Royal BC Museum has online collections for both human and natural history.
• Discover the THOUSANDS of artworks that hang in the National Gallery of Canada .
• Understand the Titanic tragedy online at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

One of the hardest parts about not travelling (or in our current case self-isolating) is not getting outdoors and hitting the trails. There are so many incredible trail systems in this country, and a great way to explore Canada virtually is to check out a virtual hike!

Nature Conservancy of Canada has several great hikes across the province. I suggest starting with Darkwoods, British Columbia or Gaff Point, Nova Scotia.

RELATED: Hiking the Bruce Trail: 14 incredible side trails to explore

Other great virtual hikes are:

• Take in the sights and sounds of Haida Gwaii
• Go on a 360-degree paddle of Long Lake Provincial Park in Nova Scotia
• Explore the Lynn Creek Canyon Trail in British Columbia
• Get as close as you can to wild animals all over Canada with this 360-degree video
• Enjoy this hike of the famous Moraine Lake
• Hike down to the seafloor at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick

Virtual reality took off a few years back, and many tourism boards are creating virtual reality tours of their cities or hotspots. The best part is, with special virtual reality glasses, you can feel immersed in a location without leaving your couch. What a way to explore Canada virtually!

You don’t necessarily need special virtual reality glasses (like these ones or even these cardboard ones ) to go on these tours. A lot of the options below you can check out on your laptop, but I think it’s a little more fun this way.

Here are some excellent 360-degree virtual reality tours you can find online for Canadian destinations:

• Take a VR tour of Tofino, BC
• VR tour of Niagara Falls
• VR Tour of Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta
• Hop on a double-decker bus for a VR Tour of Victoria , British Columbia
• Tour ski-village Whistler, British Columbia by VR
• Stroll through Quebec City with this VR tour

These are challenging times we live in today, but it has brought us all together in new ways. While I can’t wait to be back exploring this beautiful country in real life, for now, these resources will help you and I explore Canada virtually.

World  /  North America  /  Canada  / Virtual Tour of Toronto, Canada

Virtual Tour of Toronto, Canada

Toronto is the biggest Canadian city and 5th largest city in North America after Mexico City , New York , Los Angeles and Chicago . In 1998 the rapidly growing Toronto and six other communities are merged to form a new Mega-city, else known as GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

With a population of 2.48 million people (5.5 million in the GTA — Greater Toronto Area) is heralded as one of the most multicultural cities in the world and is ranked as the safest large metropolitan area in North America. Over 140 languages and dialects are spoken here, and just over 30 per cent of Toronto residents speak a language other than English or French at home.

Toronto is not the capital of Canada but it is cultural, entertainment, and financial capital of the nation. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name.

One o the biggest attractions of the city is the CN Tower standing 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) tall, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest tower at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.

Another record was created by Yonge Street as "the World's Longest Street" 1,896 km (1,178 mi). Indeed, the Guinness Book of World Records published Yonge Street's status as the true record until 1999. Some people think that Yonge Street still remains the longest street in the world, some people think the claim is false because they say the HW11 is not part of the Yonge Street.

Walking on the streets of Toronto making almost impossible to believe that city has another town (PATH) hidden under the ground. According to Guinness World Records, PATH is the largest underground shopping complex with 28 km (17 miles) of shopping arcades. It has 371,600 sq. metres (4 million sq. ft) of retail space. In fact, the retail space connected to PATH rivals the West Edmonton Mall in size. The approximate 1,200 shops and services, such as photocopy shops and shoe repairs, found in PATH, employ about 5,000 people. Once a year, businesses in PATH host the world's largest underground sidewalk sale.

The Niagara Falls located about two hours away from downtown core but still considered to be one of the biggest Toronto's attractions. The waterfall has highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world and has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m).

That is the reason why we don't make panoramas of somebody's birthplaces, we shoot panoramas of the most significant and beautiful places of our planet.

As a long-time resident of what is now Mississauga, I had visited Toronto many times in my youth. I did not realize the size of the Toronto Island until I viewed your panorama. It seems more a breakwater now. Thanks for your wonderful photography.

Murray Hayes, Canada

At your disposal! We are happy to be useful.

Wonderful view. Thank you so much for including that on the page. I am wanting to visit Toronto this year and that aerial coverage is so beautiful and gives me ideas on what to see. FYI, the airport is labeled Topronto instead of, what I am assuming should be Toronto. Thanks for posting again.

Christina Silvis, USA

Excellent work wonderful & amazing ...congratulation

Fahad AlWadie, Saudi Arabia

Love the 360° Aerial Panorama of Toronto. Enjoyed the essay on Toronto, too. In your essay, Toronto is noted as being also known as the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA is not the same as the City of Toronto. GTA describes an area made-up of Toronto and four regional municipalities that surround Toronto. These regions are not a part of Toronto and people living in them would take offence to being called Toronto. For your consideration, I'm not entirely sure that Niagara Falls is considered to be one of the biggest Toronto's attractions by the general population of the Province of Ontario, of which Toronto is the capital city. However, it is one of the biggest attractions of Ontario and one that many people visiting the province include on their itinerary when visiting Toronto. From Wikipedia: The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the largest metropolitan area in Canada, with a 2011 census population of over 6 million. The Greater Toronto Area is defined as the central city of Toronto, along with four regional municipalities surrounding it: Durham, Halton, Peel, and York.

Michael Thomas, Canada

We aprreciate your informative message and we are grateful for the interest in this panorama!

I saw the city of Panorama and the most interesting thing and the biggest thing I saw was the C N tower.I also saw lots of cool skyscrapers and I saw lots of cars but I didn't get to see any people because I was looking at everything in an airplane.Boats and cars from the CNTower look like small toys.From the helicopter, I saw lots of islands that are big and small.

Check out the spelling of the expressway. I think it should be the Gardiner Expressway. From the helicopter looking east.

Jim Murphy [email protected], Canada

Thank's Jim! It has been fixed.

Johann Auer, Austria

Excellent! An amendment needs to be made for the population numbers to reflect the 2011 census (the numbers above are from 2006). Population is 2, 615, 060 Greater Toronto is 6, 054, 191 Based on its metro population Toronto is poised to become the 4th largest in North America (or 3rd largest between US and CAN) in about 10 years (or less). Lovely work, thank you for sharing :)

Classroom Ideas 

Have students print out a map of Canada and identify where the sites in the video are located.  

5 Highlights

Students create a powerpoint of   their top five notable Canadian sites that they would like to visit and explain why.

Comparison with U.S.

Canada is very similar to the United States in many ways. Discuss or write about ways that the two countries are different.

Cloze Practice

A cloze piece has full sentences used in the virtual field trip with blanks where students can write in the information that is missing. This task requires close listening to the trip in order to complete it.

Create a diorama of the higlights of Canada. Students could also just focus on one region.

Creative Writing

Write a story with Canada as the setting. The main character could be from another country (compare and contrast characters). 

Have students create an itinerary for a visit to Canada. Can it be done in one trip? Two? Three? What would your budget need to be? How long would it take? How would you get around? What would you like to see most?

Create Quizzes

Students create a quiz based on the information presented for their peers. This can be used as a review for a test, or jigsaw class activity where students are responsible for teaching other students assigned topics.

Country Report

Have students write a report about Canada including: landmarks, population, how it is similar to the United States, history (how it came to be), type of government, economy, famous sites, architecture, interesting facts, religions, food, etc.

Draw a scene from the video you just watched.

And yes, Canada is famous for anything related to ice. Ice hockey games are such a big hit for Canadians and tourists. Plenty of tourists also visit this place during winter for their adrenaline-pumping ski resorts.

Since opening, there have been many additions and changes at the park including their children’s area’s switching from their original Hannah-Barbera theme, to a Nickelodeon theme for 2003-2010, to the current Peanuts theme.

Our Canada’s Wonderland Virtual Tour Day

Our Canada’s Wonderland virtual vacation day lasted most of a Saturday. 

In total to do the virtual tour, all of the rides, watch the shows, and do the arcade games I set up in the yard, it took us 7 hours. 

We set up a TV in the living room on a coffee table, with two gaming chairs in front of it for the kids, to give them a better view. 

When we did the virtual roller coaster rides, The Husband and I would shake the chairs and tilt the kids backwards and forwards to go along with the ride.

We did the Ring Toss, Peach Basket, Rebound, Milk Cans, and Water Gun Race for our at-home carnival games (you can see more pictures of our games on this  Facebook Post ). 

We also set up a mini arcade in the kitchen using Big Sis’s pinball machine, ski-ball game, mini air hockey table, and claw machine.

The kids enjoyed looking for everything on the Canada’s Wonderland virtual tour scavenger hunt sheets I made too.

We didn’t watch every video from start to finish.  For all of the off-ride video’s, we would watch for 20-30 seconds just to see what the ride did then move on.  Big Sis did insist on watching all of the virtual ride videos from start to finish though.

Overall, it was a good way to spend a Saturday stuck at home. 

I hope you enjoy your virtual vacation at Canada’s Wonderland too.

Explore Canada's Ice Hotel From the Comfort of Home

Get cozy for a 3D walk through the only hotel in North America completely made of ice and snow.

Step inside North America’s only ice hotel — no puffer coat or mittens necessary. Quebec’s Hôtel de Glace , which is built anew every year from 40,000 tons of snow, has created a  3D tour experience  that allows travelers to virtually explore its themed rooms and suites from the coziness of their homes. Wind through the temporary hotel’s icy halls and peek into rooms artistically carved with mountainscapes, flocks of birds, and even a dragon with light-up eyes. You can also see the winter wonderland's frozen slide and ice bar as well as its chapel where weddings are performed.

Hôtel de Glace is located 20 minutes northwest of Quebec City at Village Vacances Valcartier , a resort and recreational facility that also includes a winter playground, an indoor water park, a game room, and a 6,000-square-foot spa. The idea for the ice hotel started in 1996 when entrepreneur Jacques Desbois saw a story on Sweden's Icehotel and thought the concept should be developed in Quebec because of the city's snowy reputation. The first iteration eventually opened in 2001, and it has been rebuilt every winter since.

A team of about 30 workers and 15 sculptors work for six weeks to craft the hotel each year for its January opening. Nearly 2 million people have visited and about 70,000 have braved the cold to stay there overnight (guests also get access to a warm room in the adjacent four-star hotel). The virtual tour features the 20th version of the hotel consisting of 42 rooms and suites based around the theme "20 Years of Magic."  

Among the virtual features are a dollhouse mode that allows you to get a sense of how immense the structure is and a floor plan view to better understand how the rooms are interconnected. A measuring tool also gives you the capability to find out exact distances between any points (or figure out how far the fireplaces are from the ice beds). Those who have an Oculus Quest — or other virtual reality device — can use their sets for an even more immersive experience.

The Hôtel de Glace typically opens for the season in January and closes in March. But, if you're unable to brave the wintry landscape before the end of the season, you can "tour" the hotel all year round.

5 Canadian Virtual Field Trips for Fun & Learning

Field trips are an exciting part of homeschooling. They allow a hands-on, real life interaction with a subject – whether that just be food at the grocery store, or re-enacting life in a pioneer village. However, sometimes…. it’s not possible to go out and touch, feel, and explore. Sometimes, it would be fantastic to go on a field trip without ever leaving your house.

Introducing the idea of a Canadian virtual field trip – a unique chance to explore somewhere online, instead of having to visit in person. These offer a glimpse into places that you might never be able to otherwise visit (like the Louvre !)

Today, we’re going to take a trip to 5 different Canadian virtual field trips that you and your children can join in from the comfort of your own home.

1. The Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario

Thanks to Google, we are able to do a “walking tour” through the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa just by clicking our mouse. The tour allows you to wander through the hallways and many rooms of the buildings, including:

• the Peace Tower Observation Deck
• the Memorial Centre
• the House of Commons
• the Prime Minister’s Office
• the Library of Parliament
• a Meeting Room

Combining this virtual walkthrough with videos from Parliament 360 that share more information on important parts of the buildings, and the school tour resources available online – and you can enjoy a great visit to Parliament.

PLAY THE PRIME MINISTER GUESS WHO GAME .

2. Churchill, Manitoba – Polar Bar Capital

The most northern regions of Canada consist of some of the coldest and most hauntingly beautiful locations in the world. Churchill, Manitoba is located on the coast of Hudson’s Bay, and is a home to many polar bears.

This website offers the opportunity to see what it is like in Churchill, the impact of climate change, the people who work with the bears, and more.

There’s a “view more” button at the bottom that leads to a street view of Churchhill so that you can explore around as if you were walking the streets yourself.

A virtual field trip is a warm, interesting way to visit the Canadian Arctic.

[ Google Street View Treks also has several other similar and outstanding trips to places like Venice, the Great Barrier Reef, The Eiffel Tower, the Amazon, Galapagos Islands, Burj Khalifa, and more. These seem to change regularly so you can keep checking back for new ones!]

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE INUIT .

3. Farm Tours

Across each of Canada’s provinces are a variety of farms, and this website offers a great chance to visit some of them. The site has 15 different types of farms, including:

• fruit & vegetable

There are even sub-categories for some of the farms. For example, under egg farms, you can visit a free run, free range, conventional, aviary, and enriched style of farm. Once you choose where you’d like to visit, you are taken to an aerial view of the farm, with question mark bubbles offering you a choice on where on the farm to go. Each one zooms into a different place which is an interactive panoramic photo with its own bubbles to explore. There are also videos and a dictionary to learn more about the lingo.

I love that these are Canadian farms and farmers. It’s a great way to learn more about our agriculture.

TRACK YOUR FOODS WITH A FOOD JOURNAL .

4. Canadian Museum of History  

With about 95 online exhibitions to search through and explore, the Canadian Museum of History not only offers unique opportunities to study Canadian history but also world and cultural histories. Some are interactive websites, others photographic journals. Some offer teacher resources, some are geared to older viewers, and some just share information. It’s a varied and exciting collection of history.

5. The Royal Tyrrell Museum

This museum in Alberta is all about dinosaurs. Thanks for Google Maps and their street view camera, you can wander around the museum as if you were there. In fact, I think you can even access some of the parts behind the scene that might not be able to access as a visitor.
