Undersea Garden, Victoria BC

Visitors to the lower level display area of the vessel descend 5 meters (15 feet) beneath the ocean to watch a variety of marine plants and animals. More than 5,000 animals of different species inhabit the aquariums around the vessel in a natural but protected environment. Through the many viewing windows,visitors can look right into the underwater world of the Pacific Northwest
My granddaughter's got excited when they saw the undersea garden and they twanted to see it and they enjoyed it when we went. It is like being in an aquarian and there is a show where a diver shows you various sea life, the most interesting one being the octopus.

Burnaby Heritage Museum


I went to Burnaby Heritage Museum with my daughter, her boyfriend, husband and 2 granddaughters. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a wonderful time. The village was free right now because they are celebrating 100 year anniversary and was not crowded at all. It was a nice size to be able to check out in a 2-3 hours, it is well worth the visit.
