This beautiful place is a must-see for anyone traveling to Victoria. The gardens are pristine and perfect, and their beauty can only truly be enjoyed in person. Very pleasant atmosphere for strolling, and seeing some of the most beautiful flowers and plants anywhere. Well stocked gift shop and coffee/snack facilities.

These internationally acclaimed botanical gardens are organized around themes, such as the Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden and the Italian Garden. The gardens have over one million plants, all artistically arranged with not a blade or petal out of place.

I found out that you are allowed (even encouraged) to walk your dog around the gardens. They will rent leashes, they staff gave my dog a treat, and all water is labled if it is not drinkable.

Buy an annual pass and go as often as you can! Ride every animal on the merry go round. Have a peppermint hot chocolate in the snow in the winter and enjoy the 12 days of Christmas. It's world class and a real delight.

Beautiful! The Sunken garden and the Japanese Garden was the best. We were to early for the Rose garden, but still - flowers everywhere..The time goes quick, plan at least 2-3 hours for the walk in the garden. The garden is worth the visit if you are in the Victoria area.

The gardens are a delight! The grounds are truly spectacular and the spring blooms were beautiful. Lunch in the Dining Room was a perfect way to end the day.
