If you’re planning a trip to Canada, whether you’re travelling with the kids or going it alone. If
you don’t want to do all the usual stuff like visiting Niagara Falls and The CN
Tower, you will be delighted to know that there is much more to Canada than
meets the eye, and you should have no trouble finding more interesting things
to do.
In order to get into Canada, you will first need to take a look
at the Official
Canada ETA guidelines and ensure that you comply with all
requirements. Once that’s settled, and your flights have been booked, sit back,
relax and take a look at the following unusual things to do in Canada.
Spend Time in Free
Spirit Spheres
|
If you’re bored of sleeping in the same chain hotels all the
time, and you long for a new and exciting experience, you need to take a trip
to Free Spirit Spheres on Vancouver Island. This unusual attraction enables you
to spend the night in a sphere that has been suspended from a tree in the
forest.
The spheres, which have been made to look like nuts and seeds,
allow you to experience nature in all its glory, and you can get a surprisingly
good night’s sleep when curled up in.
VanDusen Garden’s
Elizabethan Hedge Maze
Everyone loves a good maze. It’s an opportunity to either show
your superior navigation skills or get into a heated argument with your
companions, but either way, it’s never boring!
The Elizabethan Hedge maze in VanDusen Gardens is one of just
six in the whole of North America, and it is certainly one of the best in the
world, thanks to its many intricate twists and turns that could confuse even
the best travellers amongst you.
The Enchanted Forest
|
If you’ve ever dreamed of being a princess, living in your own
enchanted forest, you might just be in luck because the Enchanted
Forest in Malakwa is like a scene straight out of your favourite
Disney film.
With more than 350 figurines of fairy folk to be found hiding
amongst the forest’s ancient cedars, along with defiant dragons, a Candy Cane
house and even a castle, you’ll be in fantasy heaven, and you won’t want ever
to leave.
Hôtel de Glace
|
If you want to ensure that your holiday snaps beat the
competition, you should book into this unique hotel, which is only available
for four months of the year. Its short lifespan is because this particular
hotel is made entirely from ice. Lots of ice. In fact, it is constructed from
more than half a million tonnes of cold ice, but don’t worry because you will
be toasty warm once you get inside, thanks to the many furs, and arctic tested
sleeping bags provided.
Now that you’ve had a taste of the more unusual side of
Canadian living, you can start planning your perfect offbeat Canadian trip,
taking in some of the more unique sights the country has to offer.
