Victoria Attractions
Butchart Gardens
This is perhaps Victoria's most well known attraction,
and is a must see for anyone who needs proof that
this is the city of gardens. Themed gardens such as
the Japanese, Italian and the English rose garden
showcase some of the world's finest landscaping talent.
Absolutely immaculate in every way, this will surely
be an inspiration to anyone who has even the slightest
of green thumbs.
Also featured are fountains and sculptures, as well
as a spectacular show and fireworks display on Saturdays
during the summer season. Two fine restaurants and
a gift shop completes the experience. There are several
ways to get to the Gardens, ranging from public transit
to chauffeured limousine. Ask your reservations agent
or enquire with Guest Services when you arrive at
the hotel about the best way for you to get out there.
The Gardens are open each day from 9:00 a.m.

Royal London
Max Museum
Located on the Inner Harbour, the Wax Museum is a
stop not to be missed when visiting Victoria. Recently
celebrating its 40th anniversary, the wax museum is
a landmark in the inner harbour. Come and walk amongst
the greatest men and women of past and present. Take
a stroll through the mines of Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, then take a moment and meet the Wizard of
OZ. If you think you can take it, see the many forms
of torture in the Chamber of Horrors. The Wax Museum
is open from 9:30 a.m. throughout the year.

Parliament
Buildings
The Parliament Buildings were officially opened in
1898. They are home to our Legislative Assembly and
occupy a 5 hectare block next to Victoria's Inner
Harbour. Seen in postcards around the world, the parliament
buildings are illuminated every night with approximately
3330 light bulbs, a tradition that began to celebrate
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Guided tours run
daily and showcase the building's unique design features
and construction. This also allows visitors to sit
in on a Question Period for a chance to see the B.C.
government at work.

Conservatory of music, our local college, as well
as a hospital just after World War I. In 1979, Craigdarroch
Castle was opened to the public as the historical
site it is today. This is the original castle built
by Robert Dunsmuir. At the time of construction Mr.
