The Pacific Undersea Gardens is a interactive marine animal museum located in the centre of Victoria and is a big part to the line up of major attractions on the Inner Harbour. The Pacific Undersea Gardens is surrounded by yachts, water taxis and sailboats coming and going from the Inner Harbour marina. The roar of floatplanes landing and taking off intermittently in the distance and the ferries arriving and departing adds to the harbour scenery making for interesting marine watching.

The Victoria Pacific Undersea Gardens is a showcase of what lives beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Undersea Gardens brings the marine world up close and personal to all who visit this unique underwater museum in Victoria, BC.

Located at the south west entrance of the Inner Harbour area is where you will find Victoria's Pacific Undersea Gardens building. The Pacific Undersea Gardens reaches down 5 metres ( 15 feet ) underwater, attracting visitors and children to view the over 5,000 marine animals swimming and playing in their natural environment.

The marine wildlife is well protected, in the surrounding aquariums attached to the underwater vessel. The Pacific Undersea Gardens' underwater marine life is on stage through large viewing windows - it is like the Pacific Coast marine animals, fish and plants are looking right back at you.

At the far end of the Pacific Undersea Gardens vessel, located in Victoria's Inner Harbour, is an underwater theatre stage where a marine dive show runs all day with the crabs, sea stars, anemones, rockfish, salmon and wolf eels as the supporting cast... and the real star being Armstrong, a giant Pacific Octopus.

The underwater dive show is about 20 minutes with a tour of the Pacific Undersea Gardens lasting as long as you like because of the interactive areas like the " touch and feel " sea pool area and a seal pup rehabilitation tank. But on average, it takes an 90 minutes to really enjoy. The seal pup is a project that the Pacific Undersea Gardens believes in deeply.
