For the visitor who is young, or young at heart, Victoria and Vancouver Island have plenty of fun things to see and do. From attractions and museums to zoos and recreation, there is something for kids of all ages. Planning a holiday with the entire family in mind results in memories that you will all remember with a smile.

By nature, Victoria and Vancouver Island have miles and miles of things for families to do. Ocean waters, long sandy beaches, rainforests and wide open spaces wait to be explored. Kids will keep busy for hours swimming, building sand castles, clambering over driftwood, beachcombing, discovering tidal pools, going on nature walks, and simply breathing the clean, fresh air.

Children are encouraged to get up close and personal with local marine life, bugs, butterflies and farm animals at Victoria’s unique gardens and zoos. Museums abound on the Island and have hands-on displays and activities for their favourite little customers. Recreation centres, swimming pools, waterslides and mini-golf are always popular with the whole family and many of Victoria and Vancouver Island’s festivals cater to children.
