I’m American and instead of going on vacation somewhere in the US this year, we are instead going to British Colombia.

We are still planning, but if anyone has any good suggestions of activities for a family with kids under 10 of things to do on Vancouver island, please let me know!

P.s Sorry our country sucks right now.

Butchart gardens

Royal museum of British Columbia

Legislative Assembly buildings

Walk around the downtown/waterfront area

Chinatown (Victoria has the oldest one in Canada)

Hatley Castle (x men was filmed here)

Craigdarroch castle (it's more a large Victorian mansion but still cool)

Beacon Hill park (don't run over the peacocks in the street - seriously - they're a traffic hazard)

There are lovely beaches in the northern parts of the island and Sunshine coast.

Grouse Mountain (in Vancouver)?!

Granted, I was there a decade or so ago, but you can just take a bus to the trailhead/cable car lower station and then take the cable car up there or just walk the trail up (not hard) and then take the cable car down.

Granted, it's mainly interesting for people who like Nature.

Also, take the boat to cross the river.

Spinnaker's is a nice restaurant/pub in Vic. Courtenay/Comox area has lots of beautiful nature hikes, well honestly anywhere up &down the coast!

This is great! Some of this is stuff I hadn’t researched yet, so it’s going on my lists. Thank you!
