The experience
It's easy to forget you're in Canada and not the rain forest. Birds you'd expect to see in the jungle fly overhead, iguanas hug tree branches, and neon-coloured poison dart frogs stand out against the bushes.
In Victoria Butterfly Gardens, you'll find streams full of tropical fish, crashing waterfalls, and singing macaws. It's a perfect respite from the city, full of serenity and nature – as well as being the perfect place to take some interesting photos!
