Victoria Butterfly Gardens

Although you wouldn't typically associate Canada with the rainforest, the Victoria Butterfly Gardens are a haven for tropical wetlands. This indoor facility, which spans 12,000 square feet, is home to thousands of butterflies, as its name would imply. The gardens are home to a variety of birds and fish, including flamingos and koi fish, so these aren't the only animals there. All of these species coexist with the vegetation, resulting in a lively, colorful environment. Moreover, the gardens have an insectarium featuring a variety of worldwide insects and invertebrates.

The Victoria Butterfly Gardens have a terrific service and are fun for families, according to recent visitors. Critics also noted that there are other animals, such as frogs, flamingos, and bugs, in addition to butterflies, to be seen. A few passengers complained about how humid the gardens were and suggested that future visitors dress in layers.

The Victoria Butterfly Gardens are located in Brentwood Bay, some 12 miles north of the Inner Harbour, close to the Victoria International Airport. It's a little over a mile east of Butchart Gardens, so you might want to visit both gardens on the same day. The best method to get there is by automobile, but you may also use the No. 75 bus to get from the Inner Harbour to Brentwood Bay. The garden opens every day at 10 a.m. (9:30 a.m. in the summer), though seasonally specific closing times apply. For adults, admission is CA$16.50 (about $13), while for children aged 5 to 12, it costs CA$6 (about $5).
