Pose for a picture beside incredible, mammoth snow sculptures. Snowflake Kingdom is the largest snow playground in North America. Experience the snow maze, snow obstacle course, 30 giant snow slides and ice fishing," an official statement cliamed directed to attract tourists.
The Rideau Canal Skateway is the world’s largest skating rink where skates can be rented.
