"Easy walk, great view and fun slide"

This place is about 30 minutes from Victoria downtown, or if time is right, you could take a short ferry from Brentwood Bay near Buchart Garden to Mill Bay. After we passed by the ticket booth and gift shop, we continued on an elevated walkway for ~5 minutes before we arrived the skywalk. We were there on Sunday and there were live performance. View on the top of the skywalk is quite magnificent, we could see mount baker from afar on a Sunday day. You could choose to walk down or take the slide which was also pretty fun.

"Go in the afternoon when there won't be school field trips"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed June 15, 2025 NEW
I wondered if this attraction would be worth the price or whether it would be too touristy. It turns out we really enjoyed the skywalk. We spent about two hours, including a picnic lunch, which I would recommend bringing along with you. The walk up to the top is actually easier than I thought it would be. The skywalk is a very gentle incline. There are wonderful views at the top. We had the misfortune of going on the same morning as 80 school children. I know I sound like a grouch, but after 1-1/2 hours of screaming, unsupervised ten year olds running up the ramp to the slide, running down the ramp, yelling, screaming and general shouting for “Elon” and “Jenson,” my ears really needed a break. It would have been nice to enjoy the beauty of the views and eagles without the nonstop noise and chaos. That said, I would go again, but maybe in the afternoon when most field trips are done?
