Our Vancouver/Victoria BC must visit list!
See All Lists
1. BC Ferries
BC Ferries ROCK!!
This is how a ferry line should be run. On time, clean, and helpful staff. We've ridden the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay run many times over the years. This is, in my opinion, the only way to travel to Victoria BC from the mainland.…More »

4. Bloedel Floral Conservatory
Sitting atop of the Queen Elizabeth park is a rare find, built in 1969 by an generous donation from the Bloedel family, it was constructed atop the water reservoir for the park, talk about using space wisely!
Themed areas of plant zones are…More »
5. Periklis Greek Restaurant - CLOSED

If you know me, via Yelp, you'll understand, for me to give out 4 stars for a mall is a momentous occasion!
