Two attractions in Victoria stick in my mind several years after I was there.
#1 Butchart Gardens
#2 The BC Museum
The museum is well laid out. The exhibitions are good to excellent without being overwhelming.
The Gardens are special. I am not much of a garden person, but this one rates a super A+ for excellence.

Butchart Garden's are definately beautiful if you have enough time..If not, from the Empress, you can just walk around the Harbour...It is beautiful..You can take these little sightseeing boats too, I forget what they are called..You will see them in the water..Can take a horse and carriage ride too...Even go whale watching..Have fun.
