Reviews of Discover Comox Valley (Zoo)

Cheryl Redquest

Very informative!

Caiman

Very well informed and friendly staff. We got there as 'last resort' as we were looking for bear watching trip just after season ended. Lady not only found one for us that was still in operation, but also helped to book it and in the end even called the company to confirm if they received the reservation and if they still plan to go. Very impressed!

If you're traveling in the area of Courtney, this is a must stop place for local and historical information. This is a regular stopping point for us when we are day tripping from Nanaimo to the Courtney Campbell River area. Very highly recommended.

Lots of nice Canadian souvenirs.

Sir Colin Waltz

Stop here on a motorcycle trip up from the United States. What amazingly helpful people and suggestions. Made the trip much better then what I had planned.

Jason Jackson

An immersive and convenient snapshot of the valley experience. Staff are friendly and keen to help. All bases are covered at this place with easy access including an electric car charger station (needs at least one more station to be sensible, staff use it too). For locals - boardroom is large and above average in terms of space, features and style. A good place to consider for event rentals and a quick pit stop with visiting friends and family.

Brian Bailey

People ready to help can recommend, trails, businesses, attractions and even areas to live! Excellent service.

Wendy Harrison

Nice building, advice was exaggerated
