Even though the air was chilly and the castle didn't open until 10 a.m., wandering the grounds beforehand felt like a moment out of a storybook. The expansive, beautifully kept gardens and coastal views made the stroll well worth it, offering a quiet and peaceful way to take in the surroundings. Paid parking is available, making it an easy stop to add to a morning itinerary.

Cool to view but tours are closed in the winter, so we were able to wander the grounds only. Not…read morethe size expected for a castle, it's part of the university and classes are held in the winter which is why there weren't any tours available.

Red Fish Blue Fish is also an amazing fish stand you with some of the best food I have ever had for the price that you can take on a boat or sit there or nearby. They also have one of the world's only seaplane airports and you can see the seaplanes come and go from the Flying Otter restaurant. Looking forward to returning!

The Inner Harbour in Victoria is THE place to hang out and create beautiful memories…read more Here are the top three things to do: (1) Spend time soaking in the beautiful scenery - from seaplanes and sailing boats to beautiful gardens and magnificent buildings (The Empress Hotel, The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, etc.), there is something for everyone. PRO TIP: Visit in the late evening, and watch the lights come on at dusk. It's magical! (2) Take in a bit of culture and history - start at Thunderbird Park, but don't neglect spending time at the other totem poles scattered around the area. There is also Confederation Garden Court with its psychedelic fountain and shields for all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and some impressive statues, such as Queen Victoria, Memorial to soldiers who fought in Wars, etc. (3) Interact with the locals - we enjoyed the mimes and hawkers, and spent a fun hour watching a very entertaining busker juggle knives atop a unicycle! If you can, enjoy a horse buggy ride (they cost about $80 per family and close at 10 pm). We heart you Inner Harbour! Can't wait to return!!

Honestly hours of fun and entertainment. Everything is kept in good working order and there is something for everyone. A great place to let the kid's imagination go crazy! Lots of places to climb and run around to get all the energy out. My son slept so good after his visit. There were a LOT of people, and it is usually pretty busy. If you get a family pass it is a great deal, especially if you are going to go often (honestly there is so much to do you could go every week and do something new)! It is a bit on the pricy side, but the value is definitely worth it. Only gave it 4 stars due to the cost, but again, worth it in my opinion, but still on the expensive side.
