Victoria Bug Zoo
A visit to the Victoria Bug Zoo is highly recommended if you're traveling to Victoria with children (or even without). This relatively tiny facility, which is a few blocks north of the Inner Harbour, is home to a lot of creepy crawlies. When it first opened its doors in 1997, the Victoria Bug Zoo has been showcasing the amazing bugs to tourists in downtown Victoria. You will encounter enormous walking sticks, fluffy tarantulas, and even glow-in-the-dark scorpions here.
Get out about 50 amazing species, such as the largest ant colony in Canada, stunning praying mantises, glow-in-the-dark scorpions, hairy tarantulas, and huge walking sticks. The zoo's staff members are eager to answer any inquiries you may have regarding their six- and eight-legged buddies, according to recent visitors who have praised them. Experienced tour guides will provide you a lot of information about the species on show as well as an introduction to the fascinating world of bugs. There is no need to be afraid because none of the animals will harm you. Don't forget to take pictures to remember this extraordinary event! Additionally, some of the insects are even touchable, which is a significant selling feature for reviewers.
During weekdays, the Victoria Bug Zoo is open until 4 p.m., and on weekends, it stays open until 5 p.m. Adult admission is CA$12 (about $9), while children between the ages of 5 and 17 must pay CA$8 (about $6). Children under age four can enter for free.
