Geography
Canada is an enormous country spanning more than half of the Northern Hemisphere from north to south and stretches across an incredible 6 timezones from east to west. This makes it the second largest country in the entire world, but despite its size, it is only home to .5% of the global population. A lot of Canada’s landscape is wild and incredibly beautiful with thick forests, enormous mountain ranges, central plains and arctic landscapes to the far north - this is where Native Canadians (First Nations) people inhabit.
While a huge amount of Canada consists of wild yet incredibly beautiful natural scenery, you will find that there are also many desirable cities and towns to visit.
What Should You See with Your Family?
So, what are the best things to do in Canada as a family? As such a large and diverse country, it can be hard to know how to plan a holiday here. Ultimately, it will depend on your family and the kind of activities that you would enjoy. Families wanting to spend time in nature and enjoy an active vacation are spoilt for choices of places to visit. Banff National Park is hugely popular with families as Canada’s oldest national park in the jaw-dropping Canadian Rockies region, which allows you to enjoy activities like hiking, cycling and white water rafting. If you want to try your hand at skiing, there are lots of family-friendly resorts including Big White, Silver Star and Whistler Blackcomb.
If you want to see what the towns and cities have to offer then Toronto, Vancouver and Quebec City are regarded as some of the finest. Each has its distinct personality and there are numerous attractions for families in each. Quebec City is unique as a historic city dating back to the 1600s with a colonial core.
How to Plan Your Holiday Comfortably
As such a big trip, it can be challenging to plan. As with any vacation, research is key, so you need to spend time planning where you want to go and where the best places to stay are. The type of holiday that you want to have will also determine when you go as you get a lot of snow coverage in winter while spring and summer are warm and ideal for hiking and city trips.
You also need to consider how you will fund the trip. Booking a family holiday to Canada can be a major cost when you consider the flights, accommodation, activities, food, and travel. This is why it might be worth taking out a loan to cover the costs and you can even get approved for a loan if you do not have a great credit score.
Canada is a brilliant choice for a family holiday destination as it is such a beautiful country with so much to see and do. Hopefully, this post will be useful and help you to plan the perfect trip.
