What travellers are saying
- Usia2014Calgary, Canada1,941 contributionsVictoria Harbour is so beautiful with the flowers, Parliament buildings, The Empress, interesting boats, float planes and water taxis. There are restaurants and shops close by to get a nice meal and some souvenirs. It’s worth a stop to check it out any season, day time, or in the evening with the lights.Written January 29, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- melindag168Seattle, WA45 contributionsGorgeous park super close to downtown. Fall colors are spectacular and I’ve never seen so many wild peacocks wandering around. Lots of water features, lovely landscaping. Worth a visit, especially in fall!Written October 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WestCoastRestlessCentral Oregon, OR274 contributionsWe spent a long afternoon here in the exhibits and at the Imax. The exhibits were really interesting and even kept the kids (tweens) engaged. The IMAX was fantastic. We saw the one on the Arctic one in 3D and it was beautiful, but sad (talking about the impact of climate change). Definitely don't rush through and savor the exhibits.Written January 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Easy flat walk from Victoria about 15-20min along the foreshore.
Worth a visit.Written October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Usia2014Calgary, Canada1,941 contributionsIt’s probably one of the most photographed buildings in Victoria because it is so regal looking in the day time. However, in the evening when all the lights are on it looks magical. We’ve been inside and it’s very nice. Also, we’ve had a delicious lunch in the small restaurant in there. Because it’s a government building, the outside area is often the site of protests as well.Written January 29, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CanadocFort Langley, Canada149 contributionsWalking through the hotel is a magical experience. The architecture, ambiance, decorations, all wonderful. You will feel special just walking through.Written January 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WestCoastRestlessCentral Oregon, OR274 contributionsWe visited with two tween children. The kids loved the displays, which were interesting for sure. It's a bit pricey (like $20CAD for adults), so if you decide to go, make sure you take your time enjoying the displays.Written January 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rlmptlLloydminster, Canada1,273 contributionsthis was easy to find and a great place to stop and eat and if you are up to the very long walk to the point then to watch the ocean is amazing of what you might see. it is also very congested place and was crowded for sure to see the sunset. Definately worth a look see and walkWritten September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RobertMJThompsonVictoria, Canada818 contributionsSince part of this street has been regulated to cater to walkers, it has become my favourite place to shop, linger or have a bite to eat. Being able to walk on the street itself makes me feel less crammed and gives me a safer perspective to view the trees, people and historical buildings. Tourists know it is a great part of their stop in this capital city. I feel proud to call it my downtown.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia53,249 contributionsVictoria Pier is a lovely area to walk around and take in the fresh air and the wonderful views. There are plenty of boats, there is a range of eateries and other shops as well. A place to relax and enjoy.Written December 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Katarina B3 contributionsWe booked onto a tour for the afternoon and it turned out that we were the only ones that were booked onto it so we got our own 'private tour'! Owen was really great showing and talking through everything in the museum and answering all our random questions. He is really knowledgeable about his field and it was great to talk about all the fun and nerdy facts that came up. It was really awesome to talk to someone who is so interested in his job and field. As part of the tour, we even got to use the tools and try to extract real fossil, just like professional do. The whole place was really awesome for both kids and adults.Written June 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- operalover939Toronto, Canada2,948 contributionsThe performance of Osvaldo Golijov's opera Ainadamar is the reason for the excellent rating. Fine performances throughout of a notable modern work. The Royal Theatre itself rates a very good rating. It's a classic movie palace of a century ago and never really meant for opera. The pit is too small and shallow, for example. Still, it serves quite nicely.Written February 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rlmptlLloydminster, Canada1,273 contributionsthis was very hard to find sunday afternoon if you have never been there. Its hard to see the entrance down to the beach from the road but if park in front of the bathrooms at Beacon hill park and look towards the ocean that is where the entrance is. There is a steep incline and a look out spot with 2 benchs and then more stairs down i did not take as i would have to come back up with mobility issues. daughter and grandaughter sat and played on the beach throwing stones...lots of stones and no real beach where we were at there was quite further down a long walk and no time. parking is good on the street as long as you arrive in the morning but it was filling up fast. Loved the view. this is a great location close to downtown victoriaWritten September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
