This is a pretty interesting little museum. Nice gift shop. Friendly helpful staff. I found the displays about the Canada Coast Guard the most intersting. The BC Ferry exhibit was also good. There was a group of shool children visiting when we were and the docent or staff member taking them around was a man dressed like a pirate. He... More

This museum covers several floors and contains a lot of history. There is information about pirates and sailing ships as well as modern vessels. There are several cannon as well as a boat that sailed around the world. The place contains a deep sea diver's outfit and models of vessels. There is a reciprocating engine that actually works when one... More

We went at the end of a busy day with our 3 kids, 4yrs - 11yrs. The couple at the front desk were sweet and welcoming - they were tolerant of the kids being a bit grumpy and gave them a 'gold' treasure coin at the end of the visit. The Museum is fascinating with lots of detail and interesting... More

I love boats, so I love this museum, well done with a few real neat pieces, it is not huge, but the three floors are packed with little treasures.

I visited this museum recently and enjoyed the visit very much. There were different exhibits on historical voyages to the area, and more recent exhibits on marine engines, B.C. Ferries, the Canadian Coast Guard and lighthouses in the area, work done by Chinese Canadians in the maritime industry, a small boat built in the area and sailed all the way... More

Nice little museum with lots of displays and ship-models. You might not want to go there with younger kids, however, if you are interested in the maritime history of BC, got there. Worth seeing is also the elevator and the court room, which alone a worth a visit.

This is a find. Old Courthouse and Maritime History combined. Displays are great and so is staff/interpreters. Why does the Provincial Govt. charge this organization for the space AND not fund them - shameful!

Victoria is a small City and this museum is on prime realestate.If you want to learn more about the maritime scene back in the day this is it.

For those of you that want to know the history of the marine life in Victoria this is a must to see. Admission low. Lots of artififacts to learn from. Boats, history etc.
