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.

Sorry, Moon Under Water, you are right. We weren't looking for a drinking vacation, but after already being in Tofino/Ucluelet (seeing the whales) and then being in downtown Victoria without a car...there really isn't too much. We aren't the museum type. Just wandering around and that gets old quickly. My favorite was trying to understand Cricket at Beacon Hill Park. You can't argue that the warf, Chinatown, Empress, Legislature, Holland Point, and Beacon Hill Park is a good day, but not exactly fantastic. We had fun and Victoria is great, but I'm just saying that tasting the local breweries beat out many of the other attractions. For a one day trip, it's an option.
