This is a fabulous place to visit. When you come, you have the choice of buying admission to just the museum, just the IMAX, or both. We decided to go through the museum, and then take in an IMAX movie, and it was well worth the moeny. The museum is very interesting. You'll see various animals (…

Beacon Hill Park is gorgeous. It's busy, but big, so you'll never feel cramped. There are various paths and trails to follow, or you can leave those and wander on you won. I suggest following the path that overlooks the ocean, though, as the views are breathtaking. On your journey throgh the park…

If you visit Victoria BC, do take a walk though
Beacon Hill Park.
It not a very big park but it does have a lot to offer. There's an area where you can see the native
wild flowers, and there are well-manicured gardens where they change the flowers seasonally.
It has a well stocked duck pond and …

With admission to Fort Rodd Hill also comes access to Fisgard Lighthouse. I love lighthouses, so this excited me to no end. Built in 1860, this is Canada's oldest west coast lighthouse, and it still works! Visitors are welcome to go into the lighthouse and view all the displays inside. I recomme…

Fans of the X-Men movie trilogy will recognize this place as the school. Hatley Castle, built in 1908, is on the grounds of Royal Roads University and looks out onto the Pacific Ocean. After hanging around outside, we went in. For about $17 we got a guided tour, which was pretty interesting. How…

The Parliament Building is right downtown, looking over the inner harbour, so you can't miss it. It is gorgeous! We were right in time for the free guided tour, which was a surprise to us, because we didn't know they were doing it. It turns out that not only were we on spring break, but so were th…

A very beautiful place. For a relaxing day if you're up for the adventure put on your comfortable shoes and get ready to sniff some fresh air. Fun to enjoy as a family adventure, a romantic day with your loved one, or some alone time.
A bit pricy in the cost since I am used to the Los Angeles Arbo…

This was my first sight i visited in Canada. This sight is essential to anyone who appreciates the lavish lifestyle Joan Dunsmuir and her family enjoyed. If you enjoy history, you will enjoy this lavish castle. Built in 1890. Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria is an imposing Victorian mansion complete…

Cool shops and narrow alleyways make for pretty interesting exploration in this part of the city. my friend and I both bought teapots, but I wish I had bought something that better represents the culture. Of course, this is a pretty busy area, so try to be patient with everyone.

The city hall building in Victoria, BC, Canada is amazing. After
Thanksgiving time in the US, the place is lit up in preparations for a
Christmas parade. The city of Victoria is a great place to visit
if you like the feel of a small town mixed into a bigger city/port.

When we arrived in Victoria and began wandering around, we walked by the harbor area around sunset. A street-performer was plying his trade down on the waterfront, and it was exceptionally entertaining. He did juggling, balancing, unicycle riding, and much more! He did a phenomenal job and earne…

The Royal British Columbia Museum is probably, IMHO, the finest museum in Canada. Should NOT be missed on any visit to Victoria. I was born and raised in Victoria (my therapist is still working with me on why I left 11 years ago!!)...and I directed many a tourist on the sites to see in the city. The…
