looking4info Posted April 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have found some info but not sure if I have figured out if you can walk (will have 12 and 10 year old) from where the Celebrity ships dock. We will be there in the evening and from what I have read it seems the inner harbour would be something to do with the kids. Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks.

Langley Cruisers Posted April 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes, it is an easy walk in my opinion. :) Victoria has been discussed here in many, many threads; I'd recommend you run a search using the "Search this forum" function back on the main page, right hand side. Type in Victoria, and dozens of threads will come up all discussing Victoria and all there is to do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner22aa Posted April 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I agree the walk is easy. Spring can be wet in that part of the country. Summer very nice and fall through winter wet again. I'd plan to walk with a wet weather back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted April 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You will find the walk well marked and will take about 15 to 20 minutes....all level. In the evening our legislative buildings are illuminated and very pretty. The lobby of the Empress Hotel is fun and during the summer months there is a number of buskers that preform in evening on the Esplanade and they can be very entertaining. Miniature World maybe something that would be interesting to the young people and it is open during the summer until 9 pm. There are also horse drawn carriage rides and pedicabs. If you tire them out you can take a cab back to the ship for about $10. http://www.miniatureworld.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise_More_Often Posted April 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2013 When we stop in Victoria while on cruise, my favorite thing to do is ride the Inner Harbour mini-ferries (http://victoriaharbourferry.com/). The easiest way to do this is to walk from the ship to Fisherman's Wharf (take Dallas Road, which runs in front of the Port, and keep walking on Dallas until you reach Fisherman's Wharf). There is a mini-ferry stop at Fisherman's Wharf that you can take to the Inner Harbour for more fun. BTW, my favorite place to eat in Victoria is also at Fisherman's Wharf -- Barb's Place -- for fish and chips. I guarantee that your kids will love the mini-ferry.
