The Butchart Gardens

This place is amazing. You would need the whole afternoon to stroll through the different style of gardens and enjoy them. Stay till the evening to enjoy a different ambient lighting environment.

Italian garden is very scenic , an almost Roman look really brings out the color of the flowers . Make sure to bring money for ice cream and don't forget to try out the tea ! It's truly upper class 😏

Tea service at the main dining room is wonderful. If weather is nice, ask for an outdoor table when reserving . Enjoyed their flight of wines accompanying tea service - nicely paired!

Check it out in the fall. The colors are stunning. Even with the rain we absolutely loved it. They provided umbrellas. Go to the coffee shop on the way out to warm up by the fireplace .

If you're going here and taking a ferry be sure to get on the first ferry of the day because it's going to be super crowded by the time the second ferry lands.

The colors in this place are unbelievable! I can spend a whole day here and be amazed with each small flower !

The highlight is the sunken garden . Go in the late afternoon, have dinner and then go back to the sunken garden for the night walk. The fireworks are county fair not Disney bring a blanket to sit on.

The fireworks show on Saturdays (during summer) is a must see! Fireworks combined with orchestra music are a great way to spend the evening. Bring a blanket :)

So beautiful here! Rare geographical area where so many types of flowers can all thrive

Beautiful gardens and a must see while in Victoria . Can be overcrowded in the afternoon.

Awesome during the winter, fun to see what they do with the lights. Food at the cafe is subpar and expensive so bring a snack .

Must stop here. Be prepared for a wonderful display of nature... And also be ready to pay a lot for it.

I suggest you plan for a late afternoon visit, enjoy dinner in the dinning room, then walk through the gardesn again at night (gardens colourfully lit up), then enjoy the fireworks . It is like visitin

The display of floral is amazing. My wife and daughter love coming here every time we visit Victoria , BC.

Really amazing 😉 enjoyed a lot 🌷

If you love photography , the best time of day for a visit and best pictures is early!!! Soft light , and a nice dew on the leaves and petals. Beat the daytime rush too!

Love the fireworks show Saturday nights, and the gardens are gorgeous at the end of the day.

Beautiful place. Unreasonable prices. Bring your own food and drinks.

if you're a local get a season pass, dropping in for a walk with your dog to listen to music in the summer is awesome... and try the hot chocolate !

A bit crowded , being a top tourist attraction for Victoria , but the colors were breathtaking

The fireworks (summer Saturdays @~10 pm) are great - just hold your place with a blanket by about 7:00pm!

Stop into the AMAZING gardens for a classic Victoria experience! People come from all over the world to see the huge collection of flowers here.

Dog friendly with water stations for Spot! Got a season's pass? Great place to walk with your canine friend.

If you are there in Christmas time , go for the night show and wear layers

Get here when it opens for a quieter experience.

Amazing, amazing. Beautiful visual experience. Well worth it

beautiful but it gets crowded . better to go early in the morning or late in the evening

If you want a seat at the fireworks , bring a warm blanket to sit on and set it up at least 2 hrs prior to show, then walk the gardens and get back to the blanket 30mins before fireworks start

The autumn colors are spectacular! True all over the park , but particularly in the Japanese garden .

You can get free wifi at the main entrance. Summer is the best season to visit this lovely place.

If you’re going for holiday lights get there early!

Good beautiful garden , skip the japanese and cove if you dont have enough time

The dahlias are beautiful. Go during July, August, September and October to see them.

Beautiful place, the fireworks show was great.

Wonderful place to view the flora /fauna of the area.

Built by the Butchart family on the site of their exhausted limestone quarry.

Such an amazing place esp in the spring

Most amazing, beautiful landscaping we have ever seen.

Don't miss the flowers !

They have a lovely high tea overlooking the gardens !

Absolutely beautiful! The rose garden is amazing.

All around beautiful. Fireworks in the summer. 12 days of Christmas in the winter.

Love this beautiful garden .

Stunning and beautiful

Flowers and the landscapes are stunning! 🌺 🌻 🌼💐 🌸🏵🌹 🥀

Make sure you visit the Japanese garden , the view of Todd inlet at the bottom is amazing!

Magnificent beyond description!

The food and fireworks are awesome

Listen to the carollers every hour at Christmas . One of the few indulgences Christmas has in our world.

I’m moving in. The rhododendrons are exquisite.
