What activities are there for children, a girl aged 7 and boy, age 9 in Victoria. They like most outside activities, probably would enjoy seeing and running around Butchart Gardens. Any other ideas? This would be in August.

Hi yestravel,

Perhaps they might enjoy a whale watching tour? Maybe watching the Victoria Harbour Ferry water ballet or the Beacon Hill Children's farm?

The Royal BC Museum has a yard of totem poles outside that they'd probably enjoy seeing.

Actually, sludick reminds me-- I would say the Royal BC Museum inside as well would be well worth the price of admission, I think both for the adults and for the children. A highlight of my visit. I personally enjoyed the displays on the Pacific Coast First Nations societies; I think there's enough interactive displays on this topic and natural history that the kids would likely enjoy it very much also.

Thanks! These sound great!

Bug zoo!

They would likely enjoy just playing at one of the many beaches if its a nice day

If it rains, (which is rare....) There is a also miniature world, at the bottom of the Empress Hotel

Museum and beacon hill park as stated above is great.
