Downtown Victoria is full of family fun, from cozy cafés to colourful murals and local shops that welcome little ones.
Our Downtown Guide highlights our favourite places to eat, play, and explore as a family, all within a few walkable blocks. Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure, a rainy-day outing, or an easy after-school stop, you’ll find ideas that make downtown feel inviting and easy with kids in tow.
This guide was created in partnership with Our DWTN, who are working hard to make downtown a safe, welcoming place for everyone to enjoy.
Pick up a printed copy at City Hall or print your own at home!
Make your downtown adventures even more fun this season with our downtown BINGO card.
From November through mid-January, head downtown with your kids and play along. Each square includes a simple activity, like spotting a mural, checking out a holiday display, or enjoying a festive treat. It’s an easy (and free!) way to get kids excited about exploring downtown while discovering new local favourites.
How to play:
1️⃣ Download and print your BINGO card (printed cards will be available soon downtown)
2️⃣ Complete 4 in a row or go for a full card!
3️⃣ Snap a photo of your completed card and submit it for a chance to win local prizes
