Here, you’ll find everything from retro games to Cherry Bomb toys. The museum is a non-profit organization and entry is by donation.

Victoria Butterfly Gardens

If you and your family have never been to Victoria Butterfly Gardens, now is the time! This is one of the top family-friendly attractions in Victoria for a reason. Unlike anywhere else in the province, Victoria Butterfly Gardens allows visitors to get up close and personal with all kinds of tropical wildlife. Featuring exotic birds, flamingos, lizards, tortoises, frogs, and more, your family will love this fun and educational attraction. 

Free Family Day at Royal Athletic Park

The City of Victoria recently announced that they will be hosting a free Family Day extravaganza at Royal Athletic Park this year. Taking place on Monday, February 21st from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, Victoria residents of all ages are invited to attend. The event will include music, event stations, mini-field soccer, a bouncy castle, a bocce area, and base running with Harvey the Harbour Cats mascot. There will also be complimentary light refreshments and families are encouraged to pack a picnic. 

If you’ll be in Victoria this Family Day weekend, then we recommend taking full advantage by planning something special for you and your family. And if you need a place to stay during your trip, we’d love to have you at the Days Inn Victoria Uptown. We combine family-friendly amenities and cozy accommodation with a prime location.
