Sorry - those are just the places that I have stayed and have always gotten either corporate or government rate which is usually just over $100/night.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I think i am going to stay at the travellers inn - downtown. Rates are only $79 + Tax, which is cheap but we have two year old twins who can be pretty rowdy, so at least there we shouldnt bother too many people.

Ok now, seperate question. How child friendly is Butchart Gardens? Do they allow flower pulling children in? What about twins in their terrible two stage?

Ok serious question, how long does it generally take to walk thru? Butterfly gardens better for the kids?

Thanks again

Steve

Default Gardens

Hi Steve,
I would go to both. Butchart gardens are stunning. Amazing what money can do to a gravel pit. If you can make it for a Saturday night, they have a great fireworks show. The butterfly gardens are pretty cool as well, your kids will probably like that the best. ***Bonus*** Both of them are about 5 minutes apart too! Picking flowers.... what is a few out of millions! Take a picnic lunch, lots of great places to sit in the sun! Enjoy your stay in Paradise!!
Cheers,
Phil

Thanks Phil! From our plans we will be there sunday morning and catching the ferry back to Van on Monday, so we will miss the fireworks show. The only other plans beside the two gardens are walking the inner harbour and the beacon hill petting zoo.
