Weird Roadside Attractions: Canada Edition

🇨🇦 Roadside Attractions You Have to See to Believe: Canada Edition

+ How to Visit Them All for Just $1 a Day with Imoova! Canada may be known for its majestic landscapes and friendly cities, but the Great White North also has its fair share of weird and wonderful roadside attractions. From oversized animals to offbeat monuments and quirky art installations, the journey is just as fun as the destination. Even better? You can hit many of these gems by relocating an RV or campervan for just $1/day with Imoova. These relocation deals often include gas reimbursements — making it one of the cheapest (and most fun) ways to explore Canada. Here are 10 delightfully strange stops to check out on your next RV road trip across Canada.

🐻 1. The Giant Beaver – Beaverlodge, Alberta

You knew this was coming. This 18-foot-long beaver statue is both adorable and slightly terrifying. It’s the town’s claim to fame — and a perfect selfie spot if you’re passing through northern Alberta.

📍 Route tip: Watch for RV relocations between Vancouver and Edmonton or Calgary — this is a great northern detour.

🛸 2. UFO Landing Pad – St. Paul, Alberta

Built in 1967 as a symbol of Canadian hospitality, this concrete UFO landing pad is the world’s first (and probably only?) official spaceport for aliens. Complete with a visitor center and intergalactic welcome sign.

🛸 Relocation idea: Make this part of a Saskatoon to Calgary or Edmonton road trip.

🪙 3. The Big Nickel – Sudbury, Ontario

At 30 feet tall, this is the world’s largest coin — a giant replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel. It celebrates the area’s mining history and makes for one shiny, Instagram-worthy pit stop.

💰 Route suggestion: If you’re relocating an RV between Toronto and Northern Ontario, swing through Sudbury.

🐴 4. Mac the Moose – Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

For years, Mac was the tallest moose statue in the world... until Norway tried to steal the title. After a very Canadian rivalry (and a bigger set of antlers), Mac reclaimed his crown. Long live the moose king.

🦌 Bonus: Moose Jaw is also home to secret tunnels and a retro spa town vibe. Worth the stop.

🦞 5. Giant Lobster – Shediac, New Brunswick

Dubbed the “Lobster Capital of the World,” Shediac proudly boasts a 35-foot-long crustacean sculpture. Climb up for a photo, then head to a nearby shack for some of the best seafood in Canada.

🦞 Great add-on: Stop here if you’re relocating between Nova Scotia and Quebec or New Brunswick.

🎣 6. Husky the Muskie – Kenora, Ontario

A 12-meter-tall fish? Absolutely. This massive muskellunge (aka "muskie") looms over the shores of Lake of the Woods and pays homage to the region’s fishing culture.

🐟 Route tip: You’ll likely pass through Kenora on long-haul relocations from Manitoba to Ontario.

🛶 7. The World’s Largest Canoe Paddle – Cowichan Bay, BC

At 127 feet long, this enormous wooden paddle sits outside a community center on Vancouver Island and is part artwork, part record-breaker, and 100% random.

🚐 Relocation idea: Look for deals from Vancouver.

🐿️ 8. Mr. PG – Prince George, British Columbia

This cheerful giant wooden mascot has been waving at travelers since the 1960s. He represents the town’s forestry heritage and has become an unofficial guardian of Northern BC.

🌲 Bonus: Some relocation listings include routes from BC to Alberta — this makes a great mid-trip leg.

🧤 9. The Giant Hockey Stick – Duncan, BC

No Canadian list is complete without hockey. This 62-meter stick (and massive puck) were once part of Expo 86 in Vancouver and now sit proudly at the Cowichan Community Centre.

🏒 Nearby attractions: While in Duncan, you can also check out the totem pole walk downtown.

🥌 10. The Giant Curling Rock – Arborg, Manitoba

Standing over 12 feet tall and weighing in at more than 4,000 pounds, this massive curling stone celebrates one of Canada’s most beloved winter sports. It’s the largest in the world, of course — and sits proudly near the Arborg Curling Club.

📍 Route tip: Arborg is a fun detour if you're on an RV relocation route between Winnipeg and central/northern Manitoba, or heading west toward Saskatchewan.
