The grounds have beautiful gardens with views looking over the water to the Olympic mountains in Washington State. More

I live in Victoria and take all my visitors to this famous Castle built by James Dunsmuir (Lumber Baron & Lt Governor) around the turn of the 20th century. The spectacular Gardens (Japanese, Italian etc), man made fishing ponds and old growth forest overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca make this a must see!! It's so spectacular every year... More

Although no longer a majestic residence it is still nice to see the way wealthy people lived. More

interesting history as the old site of a military college, beautiful gardens and forest trails, the castle has also been used for film (X-men) and many weddings/events More

This place is a gem. The gardens go on and on. The place has great history and is a very nice place to spend a a couple of hours. Maybe a picnic on the beach and a stroll through a few gardens . More

The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. The buildings especially the castle made you feel like you have stepped back in time. It is a must see on your visit to Victoria. More

Loved the gardens and the peacocks. Didn't like the pay parking, but can understand the reason why. Limited parking for those with mobility issues who don't have a handicapped sticker. More

Be sure to stroll the gardens and also the beach below the lagoon. More
