The Toronto miniature attraction rebrands under UK-based Pocket Planet, adding touchscreen controls and a miniature airport planned for 2027. The attraction stays open through the transition.
Little Canada, the Toronto miniature-landscape attraction, is rebranding as Pocket Planet Canada after its acquisition by UK-based Pocket Planet earlier this year. The name change takes effect immediately, with a full relaunch planned for October 2026.
The attraction will keep its handcrafted miniatures and the same model-making team, now operating under a separate company called Miniature Makers Inc., founded by original creator Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer. The studio remains at 10 Dundas St E in downtown Toronto.
Pocket Planet Canada will add interactive elements. The first is a touchscreen that lets visitors open and close the miniature Rogers Centre dome and adjust its lighting. Sixteen more touchscreen controls are planned throughout the space. The company is also building a miniature airport, expected to open in 2027, and is seeking sponsorship partners for that installation.
“Little Canada is an extraordinary achievement in craftsmanship, and our goal is to blend this world-class artistry with new technology to create a truly immersive gateway,” said Mark Vlassopulos, founder of Pocket Planet, in a statement.
The attraction has been named Top Indoor Attraction at the Ontario's Choice Awards for four consecutive years and holds a 4.9-star visitor rating. Pocket Planet Canada will extend evening hours to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The attraction will remain open during the rebranding.
