Our next stop is Maple Leaf Place, and this one gives you a chance to experience some classic Canadian flavours all in one place.
When we arrive, you’ll have time to explore inside, enjoy a few tastings, and maybe pick up a souvenir or two before we continue on our way.
One of the highlights here is the guided maple syrup tasting.
Canada is famous for its maple syrup, and this tasting lets you try several different grades and styles while learning how they’re produced. You’ll discover that maple syrup isn’t just “maple syrup”. The colour, flavour, and intensity can vary quite a bit depending on when it’s harvested during the season.
It’s a quick, fun experience that gives you a better appreciation for one of Canada’s most iconic foods.
Maple Leaf Place also has a small chocolate factory area, where you can watch chocolatiers preparing handmade treats.
The smell alone usually gets everyone’s attention.
Here you’ll find a variety of Canadian chocolates, fudge, and sweet specialties, and there are often samples available so you can try a few before deciding what to take home.
If you’re ready for a bite to eat, Maple Leaf Place is also home to the Hungry Moose Food Court.
This casual food court offers a variety of quick meal options, and many of the menu items highlight a uniquely Canadian ingredient: maple syrup. From maple-glazed dishes to maple-inspired treats, it’s a fun way to experience how this classic flavour shows up in more than just pancakes.
You’ll also find Canadian beers available, some with subtle maple notes, making it a relaxed spot to grab a drink, sit down for a few minutes, and enjoy a taste of Canada before we continue on with the tour.
Before leaving, many visitors take a few minutes to browse the gift shop, which carries a wide selection of Canadian-themed products.
You’ll find everything from bottles of maple syrup and maple cookies to chocolates, souvenirs, and small gifts that are easy to pack in your luggage.
For many guests, this is the perfect place to pick up a little taste of Canada to bring home.
