Fantastic education. Took all my Grandkids.

Excellent display of period furniture and decor of Regina's political elite in the early 1900s. The surrounding grounds are splendid.

Another job site

RH House

Slice of Sask history from as early as late 19th century. Will need to come back for a tour of preserved upper class living items and ways.

Dmitriy Chesnakov

A beautiful historical place where you can learn a bit about the province's history.

Alberto Patrucco

(Translated) Beautiful spot where to make macro to the flowers, wonderful I gardini that in some places seem inspired by Disney movies. To see absolutely in the periods when the flowers have blossomed. (Original) Bellissimo spot dove fare macro ai fiori, meravigliosi I gardini che in alcuni punti sembrano ispirati ai film disney. Da vedere assolutamente nel periodi in cui I fiori sono sbocciati.

Mathius Permana

It’s been my 5th time visited the government house. It was always nice to have walk around this property, have a beautiful scenery especially flowers! They have such a beautiful flowers. I am impress how they maintain the gardens. I believed they must be did a lot of effort to there to maintain the gardens and they did an awesome job.

THE BEST

Cc Xu

Government tea house was such a unique experience! All the staff are super nice and attentive even though they are volunteers!!! I'm so impressed and appreciative of what they do. Great place for experience history and fun place to take young girls and for friends get together. You get to enjoy a very lovely black tea along with finger sandwiches and a dessert (victorian tea set) or you can just choose dessert or just sandwiches. Would love to come again! After the tea, you can also tour the government house to learn a little bit of history!

Jasmine Liska

The teas are fantastic (affordable and delicious with friendly volunteers), although the tickets sell out very quickly. We were lucky to get tickets at the last minute from the waiting list. The house/museum is gorgeous-- definitely worth checking out. If you do go, look closely at the doorknobs and hinges -- the people who designed, constructed, and restored the house seemed to pay attention to even the most minute details.

Thomas Echev

Canadian so its cool!!! :)

sikarcs

Amazing history.

Russell Munday

Great place to take a short hike through. Dog friendly as well.

Astraea Sam

My kids learned a little history today

Anthony Kwan

The tour was fun and interesting.

Nabil Bennett

Vintage and timeless

Marie-Soleil

One of my favourite magical places to go!

Jessica Wright

One of our favorite places to go with kids. Look for Jocko the monkey and then head to the basement to play.

stephen kagan

Some nice flowers

Sharon Young

Beautiful place to walk around.

David Humble

Very historic site.

Paul Shen

(Translated) I translated the Government House into "State Guest House", which is the state guesthouse for the British royal family and Canadian dignitaries. It is usually a large garden open to the public free of charge. Only the main building is open to visitors at 9:30 am and 11:00 am on the first Saturday of every month. The area of your Butchart Garden is much smaller, but there are about ten garden styles. Because it is built on a stone high ground, it can also overlook the sea and the Olympic Mountains on the opposite shore. Sometimes guests will meet lawn weddings and British guests. Don't have a bit of fun. The famous castle is 500 meters nearby. Can visit together. (Original) 我把Goverment House翻译成“国宾馆”，这处接待英国王室、加拿大政要的国宾馆。 平时是免费对公众开放的大花园。只有主楼每个月第一个周六上午9:300和11:00对外开放参观。 占地你布查特花园小很多，但是花园风格倒也有十种左右。因为建在石头高地，还可以远眺大海与对岸奥林匹克山脉。有时还会遇到草坪婚礼和英伦风的嘉宾。别有一番情趣。 附近500米就是著名的古堡。可以一起参观。

Clayton Erickson

Beautiful property to explore and enjoy, especially in the spring and summer. Great place to take a date for a walk or get engagement or wedding photos done.

Ryan Moran

Great place to visit. Loved the Tea House!

Syafiq Karnain

Dear Mr Royal Hampton...

Hun Lee Photography

Lovely place with lots of parking space.

Nicole Young

What beautiful grounds to stumble upon!

Jaret Metzler

It's not a big place, but they do have some interesting memorabilia. I was here for the Easter egg hunt with my daughter. It was an amazing experience and it was free!

Chydova

Very nice museum. We got a very informative tour even though there was three of us, the lady giving the tour was very friendly. The admission is free, but donations are welcomed. Will visit again when in Regina.

Richard Tseng

A lovely tour guide led us into 1905. It was a wonderful time travel.

Mark Pasqua

Was alright

Cynthia Diadick Tanner

This is an amazing garden and it is not so over run with people in tourist season. It is a short drive from downtown (10 minutes) into a lovely residential neighbourhood called Rockland. On a clear day, from numerous vantage points, you can see the Olympic Mountains. The gardens are open to the public from sunrise to sunset. THE PRIVATE residence is not open to the public unless for a special occasion. William and Kate, the future King and Queen of England stayed in residence here for a week. There is a modest tea rom open in the summer months. Deer roam freely on the property. IF you bring your dog--and they are welcome--make sure it is ON LEASH due to the deer and other animals (squirrels).

Jessica Rawn

If you like history, tea parties and giggles you should go. I went with my 64 year old mom and 8 year old daughter for the high tea. Get dressed up for extra fun.

Tim Allan

This winter season was disappointing as the maintenance staff at Government House in Regina decided not to clear the snow on walkways in the gardens. This is the first time since I moved into the neighbourhood in 1997.

Twisted Crow

The government house is a cool place Lots of gardens and fountains and pathways. Couldn't get into the building but the grounds are nice. Definetley worth a visit if your ever downtown Victoria..

Tyler Kennedy

I dig government house. The gardens rival buchart I think and are run by volunteers! There's tours two weeks a month. Sometimes there are conferences, and there's a restaurant at the Carry Castle mews. There's a costume museum and some chickens here!

Cole Engel

It's a beautiful space with lots of opportunities for pictures. Even has a museum of sorts.

John Keri

One of the best places in Victoria if you like gardens. This picture comes with an extra. How to take a picture of something and only notice it later, as in this case 'hidden dangers'. See if you can find it.

Greg Lawrence

Historic seat of Government in Saskatchewan.

Lawrence Hung

It’s a wonderful place to visit. Nice people there.

ed lanktree

great staff

Dale Dearing

Hidden gem stately house & garden close to Cook Street Village and downtown Victoria. Lovely view across Juan de Fuca Strait. Well worth a visit.

Bruce Jackson

A garden wonderland

Marcy C

This is an absolute gem in the city of Victoria. The gardens are beautifully maintained (I think by volunteers) and include rose gardens, rock and vegetable gardens, native plants, a water feature, etc. Behind the House, I've often seen deer, birds and other wildlife and there's a wonderful view of the ocean too. Today there were several small groups of people enjoying a picnic, visiting, resting on a bench or just reading a book. I'm not sure if the tours are happening at this time but if you ever get a chance to see inside the Government House, it's worth it.

K

Beautiful gardens and always a great place to walk and explore the the different plants and flowers. Dog friendly and many places to sit and enjoy the scenery or a picnic. Don't miss the rock terraces and the herb garden.

Jamie

Dazzling gardens!

Darina Mishkova

I like the historical impressive building that still accommodates VIP visiting Victoria and the beautiful garden.

Crystal McClean (Castle View Academy)

I was back 'home' with my children for a month and wanted to show them the history or Regina, so a stop to Government House was a must. We took the guided tour along with my mom (who has been there several times) and the tour guide was very good, even taking extra time at the end to spend time with my children who had many questions for her. After the tour, we visited the children's playroom in the basement, which my children loved; most especially my daughter who loved dressing in period costume and using the play kitchen to bake up all manner of meals and treats for her 'guests' who arrived by horse and cart. My children enjoyed their experience so much in fact, that we had to make another 2 trips for them to visit the museum and interactive areas. In this day of constant technology change, it was fun for us parents and grandparents to watch the children learn how 'old' televisions, telephones, etc. worked while using them to learn about Canadian and Saskatchewan history. After the museum closed, we enjoyed a walk through the gardens and appreciated the shade during the 35C heat, too. My children have made this location a must-do and already have it at the top of their lists of things to do the next time we visit the Queen City.

JP Pasnak

The Government House Historical Society puts on an excellent tea.

Jon Bowes

Good tour of an interesting building

Stephen Goodman

Nice grounds, good for strolling.

Mark Hilchey

It is very beautiful and relaxing place

Barbara Soutar

Gardens were in full bloom, looking very well cared for. Love the variety of flowers. Fun to walk about.

CD Turn

This is a great museum. Get a tour of the facility and then self guide afterwards it is worth it.

neil fisher

Great interpretive materials and presented in a dynamic interesting manner too. I was so incredibly lucky to meet the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, her Honour Vaughn Solomon Schofield - who was super cool. Saskatchewan leads all Canadian provinces for having the highest number of female Lieutenant Governors and I think that's pretty wicked. ????

Chris Burgess

Rich history, nicely laid out tour

Renee Johnson

Lovely gardens. Many different types of gardens. Large area. No admission charge.

Jordan Smith

We were given a fantastic tour of the grounds and museum during our visit and honestly I was suprised at just how much history one house had! This is a must for those visiting regina to learn the history of Saskatchewen's Royal City

Brock T

Beautiful grounds, nice views of the mountains and the water. Great place for a walk. The rose gardens were amazing.

Samuel Bourassa-Blanchette

I had a great visit of the restored 1905 governor house. The guide was interactive, resourceful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it.

Tammy Wilks

Wonderful guide, charming security and we sang along to a Christmas Carol, took 199 photos and loved every minute of it!

Cynthia Foley

Lovely property with a ton of history and a great view!

Adamma Ejike-Iloka

The tour guide was super good. She really knows what she is doing. She made me go centuries back.

Natasa Cecez Sekulic

I love spending time in this garden. It has beautiful scenery: small pond, well maintained gardens, nice trails with oak trees, and a few lookouts with astonishing views. It's always so peaceful yet never without people walking around. Great for a lunch break, or a day visit to this historical neighborhood.

Jason V.

Beautiful, tranquil, property with many acres of walking trails leading to beautiful well maintained gardens. 2 rose gardens on either side of the house contained in black iron fencing with gates. Simply beautiful.

Chris Schiebel

Gr8 view!!!

Glenn MacDonald

Wow such beautiful gardens and space and views and the building is magnificent. It stinks of colonialism though

Jeremy Johnston

Great little museum that tells human stories, a nice change from most museums.

Jay Schappert

Stunning gardens and shaded walkways. Benches to sit on and contemplate life.

Ni N.

It's cool to see a government place up closed!

Ailsa Forshaw

The Government House Gardens are so beautiful - any time of the year, and the ocean view is spectacular! Now we want to check out their Tea Room, too! : > The gardens are free to the public, and free parking - so great!

Wonderful! We had the Victorian tea, and it's definitely something to make a habit of doing. The volunteers were awesome, the tea was delicious and the finger sandwiches were delightful.

Chris Hylton

Peaceful park, lots of little trails and nice views.

Herman Poon

On and off season destination

Penny Hoffman

Very beautiful

Jenny Morrow

We dropped in en route between Ontario and Alberta, and the interesting and engaging reenactment was a wonderful introduction to Regina history.

Maksym Bondarenko

What an amazing place! Must visit! Great stuff!

Kevin Knelsen

New Year's Day ball

Raj M

Enjoyed the trip down the history lane. How did Governor General and his family live, how did they entertain guests, how does formal dining look like, where did guests sleep - know all this and more for free. Deserves donations.

Matthew van Erp

We attended the POE dinner with the Lt Governor. Thank you very much for all the help!

John Weber

Free, old lieutenant governor house, from 1890. Well preserved. Occasionally actors act out roles from old time periods. Surprising this is free. About one hour attraction.

Priscila Coelho

Beautiful gardens and tour of the house

Sherry Lee

A historical treasure for the entire family!

Dylan Bourassa

An old and historically important place. Please be respectful.

Frank Case

Beautiful grounds, this is a great place to go for a nice quiet walk.

The e-Scene

I loved the Government House Museum after two visits and need to visit a third time to finish the tour. Normally this Museum would only take one visit, but first attempt, I left the Hostel with my South Korean sidekick tour partner whom goes by the alias ........ Hopkins ! .......... a little late. Anyway, after taking us on a one hour added to our trip really long short cut we arrived 20 minutes before closing and so we split up dashing around the house trying to take as many photos as humanly possible within are limited time budget. Day two we arrived an hour and a half before closing and didn't quite wrap up the full house tour. This is a must see Museum for everyone, singles, couples, families and is wheelchair accessible. The security staff and Lovely Hostess are friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the History of Government House and exhibits enhancing the overall experience of this must see Museum for Canadians and tourists alike. The admittance is free plus you take home a 49 colour page Government House booklet absolutely free, but there is a donation box for those whom appreciate Government House enough to offer a little support. ;)

Philip Steiner

Lovely gardens!

Tanner Ray

Neat place with a beautiful garden surrounding. You can walk freely around but you can't enter the actual building.

Matthew Block

The house tours are 2 hours long so be ready for that. The gardens are one of my favorite Victoria visitor spots because you can walk from Craidarroch to the gardens to the Ross Bay Cemetery and it only takes an hour or so, depending on how much time you spend in each spot. In the summer there are often bee hives near the herb garden so you get to see bees all over the herb garden the stables also have some chickens and there are often deer in the little orchard.

Sheila Warner

very beautiful staff is friendly and helpful

John Ivison

Cool place

Ella Krivelis

Great exposition and awesome guide that we had during the visit. We have learned a lot of interesting facts, we have not known about before. I would definitely recommend.

Zimo Wang

(Translated) State guesthouse, the surrounding environment is average, with a garden inside, so so. (Original) 国宾馆，附近环境一般，里面是个花园，一般般。

Shayne Raffard

The tour .... "If these walls could talk" was great. Definitely worth experiencing. Educational and quite enjoyable. We had a great time on this tour.

Mandy Ng

Beautiful ground and garden to walk around. We came here just before closing and staff informed us we can still walk around the grounds

Lucy Wright

I went there for provincials heritage fair. I've been there before with my guide trip and it was amazing! When I went there there food was really bad. Burned grilled cheese and very very sweet lemonade. Also they had all the exhibits spread out and it wasn't very neat or tidy that way.

Doug Blackie

Wonderful garden and trails

Jen Blake

Walked up from downtown to find this "hidden gem" on Victoria to find it truly hidden! They are restoring the building and it is all covered over in what looks like plastic tarp :( the grounds are lovely though with plenty of little paths to walk around plus public washrooms. Very quiet and peaceful.

Craig Bates

Super beautiful flower garden

Alric Reid

Their scavenger h7nt was a hit with the kids. There's a ton of cool information as well.

Dylan Benson

Do you like beautiful flowers, exploring a wide variety of impeccably manicured gardens, learning local history, and doing it all for free??? If so, I would definitely recommend taking an hour or two and taking in the beauty at BC Government House. It has all of the above, and it’s a wonderful way to add some colour to your day.

sean tseng

The tour was very good and informative.

Steven Jenkins

The hours on the listing make it seem like the place is closed entirely in the weekends. The grounds are open sunrise to sunset every day. It's a great place to take a stroll on a weekend morning!

Sarah Forsyth

Always have fun here! Tours are great, and if you can go to one of the teas, even better!

Rachel Capon

We absolutely love the garden. Our 22 month old can feel free to roam and explore and we love the diversity and views.

Kitty zilla

Lovely place to stroll or picnic

Dare Socka

Good place to spend a Sunday afternoon

Greg Makuch

History galore

Meghana Raja

The museum here is fantastic! I came later in the day so I didn't have much time before they closed, but it was very interesting to learn about the history of the governor's house and its brief stint as a hospital then a school. The rooms are set up in such detail with several original artifacts, each with their own story. The grounds are also very beautiful to walk around and see the exterior of the house. I loved my visit here!

A great place for a walk on a nice sunny day. Big open grounds to explore. In the spring time it is over loaded with flowers.

The Simmering Pot

One of my favourite gardens in the city!

Shergill Huni

A good place to be a part of 1900s era. Staff(host) very friendly

Lisa

Kids went to play in the once upon a time room...I wish they would change some of the toys out and change the set-up like they used to

Timothy Groenendyk

Excellent!! Highly recommend the visit!

Tomjedimaster

Great and relaxing place for a walk

Bailey the Wonderdog & Myk

This is Victoria's hidden secret. Beautiful flowers, lots of space for children to run & explore. Old service buildings from 1880's, you can imagine the horses & carriages using the area. There are lots of paths, huge trees, gardens galore, second only to Buchard Gardens in size, variety & awe factor.. Best of all, it is absolutely FREE to all! Best deal in Super Natural British Columbia. I am biased however as I live in the neighborhood. When visiting Government House look for Bailey the Wonderdog & his yellow frisbee. Children love his attention.

Allan Lloyd

One of the best places in Victoria to go for a peaceful walk surrounded by nature's beauty.

Mike Middelkamp

Great historical place

Jeff

Incredible property which allows you to roam outside of the residence between 9-4:30 or 'dusk til dawn.'It also has the most spectacular spot to capture the sunset on the channel.

Dave Henry

A unique and wonderful place to visit.

Vernon Brewster

History of Saskatchewan here in front of you.

Alicia Baniulis

Great guide. Very neat place.

George Sranko

Grounds are incredible! South facing slope for sunshine and views! This is the best place in Victoria for early spring flowers!

Chancy Moores

Visited here on a girls trip to Regina. Tour was free which was a lovely surprise. Tour was fun and informative. The person "acting" as the tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed this tour. We did a self guided tour of the gardens which was enjoyable as well. So glad we made this a stop here on our trip!

Josh Christensen

Beautiful grounds to meander

Pizza Tower

Excellent tour guide. Elegant house. Worth the visit.

Gordon Sjodin

Great place to check out. Very nice park. Would be a great place for a picnic.

April Gilliland

Update: The chicken coop doesn't have chickens anymore. This is a beautiful place to stop on a walk through the lovely and historic neighborhood of Rockland. Well I have been inside, it is the grounds of this place that I love the most. There is now a tea room that has limited hours. There is a chicken coop. There are several resident cats. The gardens are always lovely, but especially in the spring and summer. There are public washrooms available for use when the grounds are open during the day. Free admission to grounds.

Leah

It was pretty good. The food and service was nice, it was just a bit too fancy for my taste.

Simon Hull

Lovely gardens

Tanis Abuda

The grounds are always changing and the various different events held here have been very interesting so far. I highly recommend visiting this place and bringing your camera!

Lucy Overkova

Best

Kimberly Cook

Beautiful place to visit in all seasons. Great for a weekend stroll or even a picnic. Very peaceful and there are even vantage points to see the ocean. Often you will see deer roaming the grounds. They have an annual open house at New Year's that is really nice. My band has played here for Music on the Lawn in the summer and it is always a fun and well attended event. Definitely worth a visit.

Ben Thomas

anything to do with history gives me so much joy, especially North American, if you enjoy history you should visit

Anne Mil

Love strolling through the gardens in the cool evenings. However I wish our country was less connected to the queen

Local Contributor

A best kept secret of Victoria, BC. Beautiful grounds year round, and plenty of space for a stroll along well maintained paths and trails. Enjoy breathtaking vistas while taking in amazing vegetation and wildlife. No charge for enjoying the property, and the venue is open until dusk daily. Never crowded, and worth the time.

Mike Todd

Volunteer staff do an excellent job! Watch out for ghosts!

Kathy Masse

Was beautiful,so many people walking around. Will be back. Relaxing... cause I need this.

Paul Barron

Beautiful grounds to take a wander. We also tired the house which was really interesting. They had staff in each area to explain the history of each room which was really informative. There is also a lovely tearoom and display of costumes. For Canada 150 they had music in the park on Thursday nights. It was excellent on our visit.

Anne Moleski

Wonderful grounds.

Deb Heen

Very interesting to learn about the English presence in the history of Saskatchewan.

Melanie Atwell

What a beautiful estate! The yard is lavish and the house is filled with so much history. Very neat experience visiting the Government House!

Frank Hannig

An absolutely beautiful property and official residence of the Leutenant Governor of British Columbia. Situated on a high Rocky bluff, close to downtown Victoria and the inner harbor, the 36 acre property features rare protected Garry Oak forest which was once dominant on Southern Vancouver Island. An excellent place to visit when in Victoria.

Veronique Verreault

Even if it was closed for the 2020 season (we wanted to try the ice tea), it was breath taking! The gardens are so perfect and it's free. Many benches so you can enjoy the view. We felt grateful to see that beauty!

Karina Peters

Always an absolute delight, no matter the season.

Children's Halloween party was amazing! The magician was very good, we will attend again

Richard Janzen

Very interesting diaries available to read

Mic Boad

The official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of BC, The gardens are free to the public and beautiful to walk in, especially when the roses are in bloom. But there are so many lovely areas to walk in this large acreage, right in the heart of Victoria. You can bring a picnic, or step into the tea room and enjoy a nice meal or just some scones and tea. We had lunch in the tea room, and be warned, it can get busy as it is a popular spot. The menu is varied with something for everyone. The staff are super helpful as the ordering system is a little strange, but definitely worth it.There is also an interpretative centre to visit.

Imjust Jodan

I like mint tea as well, and the government howse was 2 ofishul

Andrea Yeo

Such a great place

Alex Zurowski

Lovely place, went for tea and had a great time. Visited the museum as well and loved the rich history there. Look for the haunted mirror!

Tim Chu

A fine and well maintained historical place in the city. Plenty of parking, friendly staff over to walk you through the entire house. Staff quite knowledgeable for the objects displayed in this house.

Alistair Mason

The gardens are lovely, especially the two rose gardens, they were amazing. The tea room was nice, staff were so helpful and friendly and the food was really good. I think they are still getting themselves sorted as some little things weren't as smooth as they could have been (i.e. pots of tea but only one central source of milk) but everything was so lovely that little wrinkles don't take the edge off a great trip out. Oh also, there's still a bit of work being done to the house but most of it is clear of plastic.

Marcus Russell

The tour guide was amazing

Shelbey Stein

Beautiful

Erica Petrie

Interesting place to visit if you're into politics and history.

Paul Cousins

Historic building with some nice museum exhibits. They sometimes have events for children like Santa coming to visit at Christmas

jack w

It was a pleasure taking this free guided tour because our guide was fantastic! She did well to explain the stories behind many of the detailed artifacts in every room. The Government House is well maintained, clean and run professionally. We didn't have time to visit the museum part this time but will definitely go back to check it out too.

Jagbir Brar

Look for the map and visit all the places. The guided tour of the house is not to miss.

Lian J

Overall a great place to visit! It has both historical and cultural significance in Saskatchewan's past.

Pamela Todd

Love attending the monthly teas and especially the Christmas tea. Volunteers serve the teas and are very hard working!

Just a magical experience visiting Government House at this very special time of year. The Christmas decorations and trees were very festive and it was an amazing afternoon for the annual holiday tea with friends. Spectacular event!!!!

Bella McKimmie

Beautiful grounds and a great quiet historic sight to visit if you don’t like crowds.

J Tinker

Fantastic place to site see through! If you appreciate old relics, hard wood floors and history... this is the place for you! Friendly knowledgeable staff. Can browse around yourself or take a guided tour. Note: grab the mystery paper from the side room before so u can hunt properly. The pamphlet that tells you the relics to look for is helpful ???? would love to see this place decorated at Christmas time. I bet its absolutely beautiful. A joy to look around.

Ftwteri Wright

We visited the grounds here, a few days before the Roayls, Prince William and Kate stayed here.

It is a really good event. There are pony rides, cricket, dog trials, entertainment, free cookies and ice cream and lemonade.

Super awesome spot! They are working very closely to re obtain original pieces from the home after it was used as a hospital. Pride is taken in everything done here. Even the security guards know enough to give a full tour. Even if you live in regina it's worth checking out.

Government house is a wonderful part of Saskatchewan history. I would encourage anyone to visit. They often put on interesting events that teach Saskatchewan history in a fun and interactive way.

Such a beautiful building, well kept and well displayed. Awesome tours and delicious tea. It's a wonderful experience to go back in time.

The Christmas event that the government house puts on every year is a christmas time highlight for me and my family. Traditional Carol's are sung and hay rides , I look forward to it every year.

Bob Long

Some handy parking right in front of the building. Lovely grounds with 2 nice rose gardens and some good viewpoints. The actual building is under renovation, with unsightly shipping containers and other construction stuff in evidence.
