World Parrot Refuge

A sanctuary on Highway 4A for over 600 rescued parrots, macaws and cockatoos. Indoor walk-through; great rainy-day visit. Donation-based; volunteers do most of the welcome.
Attraction · Qualicum Beach

Qualicum Beach Museum

A community history museum + paleontology collection — the area is one of the few places in North America with marine reptile fossils. Volunteer-run; small but absorbing.

Vancouver Island Butterfly World
