This weekend (Oct 24-25), where are Victoria families headed?
The Pivot Homes Group team just put together 10 family-friendly spots around Victoria, from free to ticketed, with seasonal notes. The ones in season right now: the Goldstream salmon run (late October through November), pumpkin patches and corn mazes (until Oct 31), and a family program at Swan Lake this Saturday, Oct 24, at $5 per person.
Beacon Hill Park, Elk/Beaver Lake, Mount Douglas and the Lochside and Galloping Goose trails are free year-round and stroller-friendly. For rainy days, the Saanich Commonwealth Place wave pool or the Shaw Centre aquarium in Sidney have you covered.
The full list with addresses, prices and hours is in the first comment. If your family has been to any of these, share your tips for newcomers below!
