Royal BC Museum Victoria
Anyone planning to visit Victoria next week might like to know that the Royal British Columbia Museum is allowing admission by donation from Tuesday, January 2, 2007, to Tuesday, January 9. It’s about your only chance to see the Royal BC Museum without paying a stiff $14 per person as the discounts and two-for-one coupons offered by other Victoria attractions are usually not available here.
The Royal BC Museum does accept the See Vancouver and Beyond Smartvisit Card for free admission, but at $99/129/199 for two/three/five days (or $55/69/119 for kids under 16), the card itself isn’t cheap. You can use the Smartvisit Card at over 50 attractions in Vancouver and Victoria, but none in Nanaimo.
Frankly, I think the See Vancouver and Beyond Smartvisit Card is way overpriced. Compare it to the Carte Musees et Monuments which provides free admission to the 65 top museums in Paris, France, plus unlimited use of the famous Paris Metro and city buses. All for 18/36/54 euros for one/three/five days, which works out to $28/56/83 Canadian! Wasn’t Europe supposed to be expensive? Or are the people running the Smartvisit Card program just too greedy?
