Best day in Victoria we had right there. Everything else is actually pretty boring. Miniature world - great if it was still the 1980s, Butchard Gardens - awesome if you have a vehicle, warf - great for an hour, Chinatown - good for 5 minutes. Beacon Hill Park is actually pretty cool, so props there, but seriously...beer. 20 posts in and no mention of the walkable breweries in the city? Shame on you CP, what is this? Basically, the pubs and live music are great at night. Everything else is actually quite boring and a waste of money. So just drink sample beer and actually have a fun time. Disclaimer: We were there a month ago and tried to fill 3 days...it was difficult.

Then you are not trying hard enough. I live here and I am still findimg out things. If you stay strictly to downtown Victoria then yes I would agree. Their are many things within reasonable distance to downtown to explore. The options are not terrible. It seems you were just wanted a drinking vacation. FYI its Moon UNDER water.
Walk ing the muesuem takes 2- 3 hours, legislation tour takes 2-3 hours and walking. The Robert Bateman takes 1-2 hours fill in the time. Potentially that's 6 to 8 hours there. Fill the night with eating and drinking and there is a full day. That's only 3 things.
Honestly the best thing to do is go down to the Visitors center . Tell them about what you have for avalible time . The girlfriend gave me the list of attractions. Literally hundreds. Everything can be bought right at the visitor center. They dont work on commission as Victoria tourisim is a non-profit . They are also the ONLY information center that is NOT affiliated with the government. will p.m you tomorrow still tho.
