Toronto or Vancouver with kids? Both are hosting the World Cup.
Both are hosting World Cup 2026 matches and both work well with kids, but for different trips. Here's how to pick, with three anchors for each.

The city's scale can be disorienting at first, but Harbourfront and the waterfront corridor give families an easy anchor point, and the Royal Ontario Museum and Ripley's Aquarium are both excellent. Evergreen Brick Works is the kind of Saturday-morning destination that feels like a local secret, tucked into a ravine with farmers' markets and trails. Niagara Falls on the Hornblower boat is the excursion Toronto was made for, and it remains as impressive as advertised. FamiVentura covers Toronto with guides to its remarkable indoor and outdoor attractions, diverse food scene, and day trips to Niagara Falls and beyond.
Off the Beaten Path
The Brick Works is a unusual Toronto place, a 19th-century industrial quarry that has been slowly returning to nature while maintaining some of its heritage buildings as active community space. Free to enter, accessible from the ravine trail system, and best visited on a Saturday when the farmers' market runs.
Activities
The CN Tower is one of those things that's worth doing once properly. The glass floor has a different effect on every person in the group. Views stretch to the lake, the islands, and on clear days to Niagara. Dusk visits catch the city lighting up which adds to the experience. Book online to skip the ticket queue.

Food
Tonki Tonki covers the full table: mild chicken ramen for young or cautious palates, proper tonkotsu for everyone else, and an open kitchen that holds toddler attention through the build. It's small and can get crowded, but arriving slightly off-peak resolves that. The broth is made in-house, which shows.
