Victoria Bug Zoo, Victoria and Vancouver Island

Address 631 Courtney St, Victoria, BC V8W 1B8 Map, Tel (250) 384-BUGS Call, Website

This small "zoo" is located in the heart of Victoria, not far from the Empress Hotel. The zoo is toddler scale, just two rooms, but with such small creatures on display, there's plenty to see. Tour guides are especially helpful and will let you hold many of the insects. I never thought I'd say this about a Bug Zoo, but this was one of the kids' hilights of their trip to Victoria.
