CRAIGDARROCH CASTLE REVIEWS

The Craigdarroch Castle is a must see location when visiting Victoria. Not only is it beautiful and imposing, it is also steeped in history. The building itself is a delight to explore and to enjoy all of the handiwork that went into the construction. The tour booklet provided and the placards do a great job with providing the historical life of the home and the various individuals and groups who have occupied it throughout the years. In addition to the placards, the staff are wonderful and always ready to answer questions about the home.

We took the ferry from Port Angeles to visit Victoria. We bought our tickets for the castle and the bus that takes you a block from the castle at the visitor info center. Easy to get to and the busses run frequently. The self guided tour was awesome, had many staff in different areas to expand on the history and answer questions. Cool new experience and glimpse into the past!

Such a beautiful castle to visit! Craigdarroch Castle made our trip to Victoria so special. There is plenty of information throughout the castle and many rooms to see. There’s also lots of parking on their premises, making it easy to find a spot.

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA REVIEWS

Iconic buildings and beautiful surroundings overlooking the most lively area of Victoria. Personally felt like a great place to spend a couple of hours during weekdays. The best time would be early mornings or evenings around sunset to take full advantage of what natural light can do to enhance the architectural beauty of the place. Can get a bit crowdy during weekends. Do pay a visit inside the buildings using their free guided or self-guided tours. It's worth the effort (moreover, it's free). There will be a unfussy security check before entering the building. Please check their website for the timings.

Great attraction, free tickets, the bay in front, so beautiful. You have to go through security check when entering, put it in the box and let the machine scan it through, you can get your luggage back,here can take pictures, and there is a free tour inside, you can learn Knowledge of history and architecture.

The iconic place with beautiful architecture, must visit place , we have visited here twice as I like the historic places, knowing the history and I love to appreciate the architecture !

MILE ZERO MONUMENT REVIEWS

It was fun visiting. There were a few plaques which explained some of the history of the monument. Nearby there was also a Terry Fox monument with an explanation of what he did. Near the coast there is a nice beach. I was able to walk along the beach while climbing rocks, and eventually there was a path leading upward. You must be relatively fit in order to explore the entire beach, as the beach consists of "sandy" areas, with frequent stretches of huge rocky (almost mountain like) terrain. There is also a more conventional paved path above the beach. I didn't walk too far along this path but you'll find more people and benches overlooking the beach.

Mile 0 Monument in Victoria, BC, is a must-see landmark marking the start of the Trans-Canada Highway. The monument is beautifully situated in a scenic park, offering a great spot for photos and a moment of reflection on the historic significance of this highway. It's a perfect place to begin a cross-country journey or just to appreciate a piece of Canadian history. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Victoria!

There's a pretty unique water park thing right next to this monument, along with a huge gravel field and a wonderful 152 acre park with lots of water features and a playground! Also a fantastic view of the water and Port Angeles.
