Must-Dos in EPCOT World Showcase’s Canada Pavilion



Canada EPCOT

The World Showcase is fantastic experience that guests of EPCOT absolutely love. World Showcase allows guests to experience 11 different countries. Each country is represented by a pavilion, and each pavilion showcases the culture and community of the country it is representing. Each pavilion has its own set of unique attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment. The Canada pavilion is the first country when starting to the right of the showcase, or the last country when you begin on the left. The Canada pavilion represents a beautiful and proud country. If you have an upcoming visit to EPCOT, then be sure to check out these must-do’s in World Showcase’s Canada pavilion.

Climb the Stairs and Go Sightseeing!

Many guests simply walk past the Canada pavilion without actually ascending the stairs and exploring! If you don’t actually enter the pavilion then you are missing out on some great sightseeing. A stunning brick building inspired by real Canadian architecture can be seen, as well as a totem pole and displays of kayaks in order to represent Canada’s indigenous people. Perhaps the most standout feature of the Canada pavilion is the waterfall. This is not only a great photo opportunity but also a great place to relax.
