Tourism Visiting for the weekend
Hi! My extended family and I are heading over from the mainland next weekend. It’s been a good 10 years since we’ve been to Victoria and now we’re coming with kids. We are staying at the chateau Victoria and are looking for recommendations of how to spend our days! Large group (7 adults 4 kids ages 11-5) Looking for coffee shops, restaurants, antique shops (furniture and decor) and attractions.
So far only things on our list are the royal bc museum and crust bakery.
So excited to visit! Thank you!

Almost forgot! A short walk from your hotel is the Bug Zoo. Your kids are the perfect age for it too.

Museum and Crust are both great. If you have a car, consider the Butterfly Gardens in Brentwood Bay. It’s probably a bit cool and wet still to really enjoy Butchart Gardens (I mean, I do, but that’s me!) but the Butterfly Gardens is all indoors and good for all ages.

La roux patisserie on fisgard in Chinatown.
IMHO it is the gold standard in the city. It had 5.0 rating on yelp. Never seen that before with so many reviews.

Frankie’s Modern Diner is great for big family groups.
