Great park, some nice trails through the forest. Walk to the visitor centre is super easy and flat. The gold mine trail up and around to the falls is nice but crazy steep right at the end where it drops from the trestle to the falls. Would be nice if there was trail access under the highway and a way to get to the trailheads without walking along the road or driving.

Beautiful facility. Hours are a bit restricted, but the kind staff, pool, steam room, and sauna make up the difference in value for the shorter open-hours. Weight room has 4 squat racks, 2 smith machines and a separate section for dumbbells. Not large, but everything you could need. Lockers are included in your membership. Everyone gets a key card that provides a lock to any locker. Locking your stuff in a locker using your key card claims that locker to your card until you unlock it. I thought that was pretty neat.

Cannot say enough good things about this hotel! Immediately greeted by a wonderful view when you enter the lobby. To begin the staff was attentive and courteous. The amenities were clean and well kept. The room was large and the beds may have been the most comfortable I’ve stayed in. Would recommend this hotel to all my friends and family and easily rate this stay a 10/10. Well done staff and team! We look forward to our next stay at Bear Mountain. The food at the lobby restaurant was also very impressive and the brunch options were a great way to start the day.

The Linguini with meatballs and baked cheese looked incredibly appetizing but was a little too sweet. The steak was a little cold, but we did change our order a few times, so they may have neglected it a little in favor of getting our food out at the same time. Service was great, and we enjoyed the beautiful view, our sushi and pizza, and the various sports channels on the television.

Thetis lake is super beautiful, and I always manage to find something new! There are tons of birds and fish. I've even seen a few garter snakes. Its disappointing to see so many invasive bull frogs. I even found a cool young deer skeletons. The trails are very easy. If you're fairly mobility limited you could easily walk the south west side of lower Thetis, the east side has a single section with decent elevation gain, but for the most part the entire region is good hiking for the whole family. The beach beautiful and sandy, but always packed in summer. Every part of the lake is great for swimming, depending on how comfortable you are going on from rocks. My favorite spots for swimming are out to the island, and a couple deeper sections in upper Thetis. Decent fishing trout and bass. No motorized boats are allowed, but ideal for paddlers. There is a dog park, which is actually where I usually launch my kayak.

The assistant manager Ramsay, at the Patio is great! super friendly and always making sure things are right, especially with drinks and orders. He checked in often and actually cares that you’re having a good time. The patio is such a nice spot to chill, and the service makes it even better. Definitely coming back!

We visited Persimmon Tree restaurant for Lunch,  Korean restaurant that left a lasting impression. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. The menu offered a variety of traditional Korean dishes, just the right varieties. Usually, when restaurants have many items on the menu, sometimes you won't get the best dish. That's what I've experienced for whatever reason. The Items that we ordered were the right quality and the perfect taste. I especially enjoyed the bibimbap and the bulgogi—both were flavorful and well-prepared. The highlight of our visit was the exceptional service at Persimmon Tree. The staff, with their warm smiles and attentive nature, made us feel truly pampered. When one of my friends requested not to put onion and spring onion toppings on the dish, she later came and asked if she was okay with kimchi pancake as it was part of the accomplishments that came with the dish she ordered, which was very thoughtful of there and paid attention to the customer's preferences. The food was served promptly, and the staff checked in regularly to ensure our satisfaction. Overall, Persimmon Tree restaurant is an excellent place to satisfy your craving for good Korean cuisine in this neighbourhood. The combination of delicious food and outstanding service made for a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine in a warm and friendly environment.

First time I stopped here for dinner and drink and I was impressed with the service, quality and the atmosphere. Staff were nice and friendly. Food and drink menu is great and probably to many people’s tastes. I ordered The Rack burger, it was juicy, tasty and delicious. All compliments to the chef. I would definitely recommend this bar/pub/restaurant for good drink, good foods and watch a sport game.

A truly magical place It is like stepping into a fairytale. The architecture is stunning, and the gardens are beautifully maintained—perfect for a peaceful walk or photos. I loved learning about its history and exploring the surrounding grounds. Great spot for visitors, history lovers, or anyone who appreciates nature and beauty. A little further down, there’s also a small forest trail that leads to a beach-like spot—peaceful and scenic, perfect for relaxing. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Just moved to the island so I'm not too sure what else is around here. Saw the lights during the evening, thought they looked beautiful the way they accented the monument in the middle of the parkette. There is a gazebo and small playground off to the side area along with statues on benches. If you are here for your first time at night be prepared to jump a bit they actually freaked me out twice in one night 😆

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with friendly enthusiasm, which carries all the way through your visit. The drinks are created with passion and creativity, and the food portions will not leave you hungry. I truly don’t think they could get any more food on a bagel.

The mini golf is a very cool spot to visit it is a short course but you will have fun along the holes. There is lot of parking spaces and washrooms on the indoor playground. They have separated sticks for adults and children which is convenient. There are a few benches if you get tired.

Visit #1 Great experience... Friendly staff, fast service, everything was piping hot, big portion, and very yummy. Visit #2 Had the beef dip with ceaser salad. Was pretty good and looking forward to having visit #3 Visit #3 Tried the Benny... Pretty good when compared to other places. Although the eggs are cooked in water with vinegar like most places. It's very rare to find a place that can do a poached egg without vinegar. However, the egg was done exactly how I requested it. I'll order it again. Visit #4 Omelet is pretty good... Next time I'll ask for the mushrooms to be fried first though. But, as usual... Great food and service.

My friends and I ate here a few weeks ago. What a fun place. We had a great time with all the waitstaff, and we also enjoyed the music. The food was delicious too!

Very comfortable place to meet friends or have family gatherings. Food was great and the portions are big. Reasonable prices. Remember to register your license plate for 90 min free parking.

Our usual restaurant wasn’t open so we tried a new place, Original Pho Eatery~ in Langford BC. The restaurant’s atmosphere was very inviting, with a nice decor, and comfortable seating. Our waitress was very friendly and immediately greeted us upon arrival. They have a very large gluten-free menu, with a large variety of different dishes that you can try. They don’t have a dedicated fryer, but there’s still a lot of selection, and the waitress was informed about gluten intolerance and cross-contamination. It’s always a fear when you go somewhere new to eat, that you may end up sick. As a celiac, I can say it is safe to eat here! Not only is it safe, the food felt very authentic and was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and cooked with skill, no mushy veggies here. I’m not sure if I ate the food correctly, but I had a great meal! ;)

An Outstanding Experience at Langford Lanes Bowling! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome — super friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had a great time. The environment is clean, modern, and energetic. Bonus free parking. What really stood out was the food and drink menu — way beyond what you'd expect from a bowling alley. Great variety, delicious options, and very reasonably priced! Overall, Langford Lanes strikes the perfect balance between fun, comfort, and value. Whether you're a serious bowler or just out for a good time with friends, this place hits the mark. Make sure you book your lane in advance. Highly recommended!

I watched the women's rugby 7's tournament here over a few days. Great stadium and good food and drink options. Couldn't ask for a better place to watch the rugby!

Great experience with the family! Mill Hill offers a moderate hike that’s manageable even with kids. The trail is peaceful and well-maintained, and the view from the top is absolutely stunning. A perfect spot for a weekend outdoor adventure in Langford.

A really beautiful lake! Nice tail for a light hike! Definitely a must visit if you like nature 😊

Always gets my order right and the steeped tea is always good. Unlike many other locations. Their drive thru also always moves at a good pace.

Yesterday, my lovely wife and I ate at the Milestones in Victoria’s Harbour, and the meal was decent enough that we decided we would try another Milestones today. This Milestones completely blew yesterday’s outta the water. We did try different dishes but the quality and flavour of today’s food was incomparable! Not sure if today is an anomaly and today’s chef is just ‘firing on all cylinders’ or if this chef’s food is always like this but to quote George Takei, “Oh, myyyyy”!!!!! The service was fantastic, and the food and the flavours were “on pointe”!!!! We ordered the Seafood chowder as an appetizer and chowder did not accurately describe this dish today. It was more like a hot seafood salad with some soup sprinkled in to provide that yummy comfort one finds in home-made meals. We also ordered the spinach-artichoke dip and it too was great. Even though it was a tiny bit salty for my liking, still one of the best I’ve had for a while. For entrees, we chose the Blackened Chicken Tagliarini and the 16oz Rib-eye. The pasta was surprisingly flavourful and al-dente. The sauce was complex in flavours and the fresh diced tomato added a touch of freshness that complemented the pasta well. The charred chilli-lime butter was fresh and cut through any heavy flavours you might find in the sauce. Divine! The steak…what can I say about the steak…let me put it to you this way…Both my wife and I agree that it was the best steak we’ve had in years. It was cooked to perfection - Medium-rare - and tender!!! I mean melt-in-your-mouth tender!!! This rivalled, no, beat any steak we’ve had at Cactus Club, The Keg, and even other “finer” restaurants. In short, we left extremely satisfied, not just because of the size of the meals but because this was simply the best tasting meal we’ve had this trip. We’re coming back here next time we’re in the area for sure! For dessert we had the Apple Cobbler. London told us it is the best of the offerings and it was not a lie. Definitely good!!! Our server, London was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful! Tonight’s Chef’s name is Manny. Our very, very thankful compliments to both! I hope your experience is as good as ours.

We needed a non-fast food place that offers vegan options for lunch before heading to the ferry. This seems to be the only place outside of downtown Victoria around Langford with the perfect setup: organic sour dough pizza, organic sauce, organic vegetable, fresh everything, and vegan cheese! I was so happy to see that we can skip the garlic on the pizza because garlic is a separate item added on top of the pizza, the tomato sauce does not contain garlic. Yay! 900 Degrees is not just the name, it is the oven temperature. For our vegan pizza, we ordered Rossa, with organic tomato sauce, vegan cheese, asparagus, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, no garlic, chipotle flakes, with a pile of arugula on top, finished for fig balsamic reduction. Cooked at 900 degrees, it arrive fairly quickly. Dear Adrian Ortiz-Mena, thank you for this, it was DELICIOUS! We will definitely eat here again next time we visit Victoria! Oh, the bonus is – they have the cleanest washroom we've seen in Victoria.
