In fact, Canada comes even more alive in the summer months with its ideal temperatures for adventuring, abundance of outdoor festivals, picture-perfect beaches and so much more. The following five towns throughout Canada are the best of the best for family-friendly fun during the summer months. Twillingate -- Newfoundland and Labrador If you've never stood in awe of an iceberg drifting through the water off the shores of Twillingate, you're missing out. Known as the "Iceberg Capital of the World," Twillingate is the premier destination in Canada for admiring icebergs from shore or on one of many unforgettable boat tours. Twillingate is home to just 3,500 residents, but the quaint fishing village is always prepared for the spring and summer crowds of iceberg viewers. Don't forget to leave yourself plenty of time to explore the Twillingate's art galleries, museums, beaches and locally famous seafood restaurants. Montreal -- Quebec

The Festival International de Jazz de Montreal, known as the Montreal Jazz Festival, turns a portion of downtown Montreal into a must-visit street fair, complete with one of the largest jam sessions on the planet. The festival features hundreds of outdoor concerts, indoor shows, jazz cruises, walking tours and the Rio Tinto Alcan Family Club, offering workshops, a snack bar, picnic area, animation center and more to kids of all ages. Away from the festival, parents and their little ones can explore the La Ronde theme park, the Granby Zoo, botanical gardens, the Montreal Insectarium, beaches, parks and all of the family-friendly fun the city has to offer. Stratford -- Ontario The southwestern Ontario town of Stratford may not be one of the most visited in the country, but it's one of the most beautiful. The picture-perfect town was named for Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, and became known for its Stratford Shakespeare Festival in the early 1950s. Visit during the Stratford Festival, which runs from April to October, and you're guaranteed to enjoy modern and classic plays, Broadway musicals and an array of other performances for theatre lovers of all ages. Aside from the festival, your family will fall in love with the town's riverside parks, galleries, boutiques and restaurants -- all in the walkable downtown area. Tofino -- British Columbia
