Canada Strong Pass: Free Travel and Museum Perks for Families

Looking for ways to travel more with your family without stretching your budget? The Canada Strong Pass might be your new best friend. It’s a new program designed to help Canadian families, kids, and young adults access affordable travel and cultural experiences across the country in summer 2025.

This pass will be available from June to August 2025, making it a perfect fit for school breaks, family vacations, and summer adventures.

What is the Canada Strong Pass for Family Travel?

The Canada Strong Pass is a federal initiative that gives families easier (and cheaper!) access to national travel and cultural experiences. It includes free train travel for kids, free museum entry, and discounted camping and admission for youth. It’s a great option for those planning summer getaways or looking to explore more of what Canada has to offer.

Free Museum Entry in Canada for Kids and Teens

With this pass, children and youth under 18 get free access to Canada’s national museums and galleries. That means more educational outings, more art and history, and more reasons to build travel plans around cultural stops.

Kids Ride Free on VIA Rail Canada

Train travel just got more affordable! Kids under 18 can now ride VIA Rail for free with a parent. Whether it’s a short trip or cross-country adventure, this makes rail travel way more family-friendly and budget-conscious.

Travel Discounts in Canada for Youth (Ages 18–24)

Have older teens or young adults? The Canada Strong Pass includes discounts on travel and cultural sites for ages 18 to 24. It’s a great time to encourage more independence and solo exploring—or to bring them along on a family trip for less.

Lower Camping Fees in Canadian National Parks

Planning to get outdoors this summer? From June to August 2025, national park camping fees will be reduced for everyone. More nature time, fewer expenses—yes, please!

Why the Canada Strong Pass Matters for Family Travel in Canada

This pass is all about making family travel in Canada easier and more accessible. Whether you’re camping, riding the rails, or visiting museums, this is a great opportunity to see more of the country together—without overspending.
