For Outdoor Enthusiasts
Victoria is known for having the mildest temperatures in Canada. Travelers can fly through the treetops at AdrenaLINE Zipline Adventure Tours; set off on a whale watching adventure with tour operators like Prince of Whales, Eagle Wing Tours and Orca Spirit Adventures; stroll through colorful flowers at Butchart Gardens; or enjoy a round of golf at Highland Pacific Golf or Olympic View Golf Club.
For Luxury-Seeking Travelers
A trip to Victoria isn’t complete without visiting Fairmont Empress, often referred to as Canada’s “Castle on the Coast.” Families love the afternoon tea and treats in the Lobby Lounge. Fairmont Empress also offers Children’s Royal Tea, a kid-friendly take on the traditional afternoon tea. Parkside Hotel & Spa, meanwhile, offers spacious, suite-style accommodations; family-friendly amenities; and programming kids will love, making it the perfect homebase for families exploring Victoria.
