Malahat SkyWalk is a new, accessible, and in-nature attraction that has spectacular views. For around 35$ CAD per person, you can access the park which includes a walk through the forest, the SkyWalk attraction itself and the slide, boardwalk and green space. During high season there’s a cafe open at the bottom of the attraction. When you enter the attraction, there is a boardwalk which is flat and takes about 5-10 minutes to reach the tower. The boardwalk moves over forest with gorgeous Arbutus trees and marsh/swamps. We were lucky to see a deer grazing during our visit. The tower is surrounded by forest, and cliff side views. On a clear day you can see Mt. Baker among many other easterly and southerly views. At the top there is netting with see-through floor which you (if you’re brave enough) can walk on. Plenty of children running about at the top as well as the ramp leading up to the top. The lines for the slide can be long and you’re provided with a mat to sit on for safety during your side down. At the bottom there is plenty of seating, a small campfire and a cafe. For 1-2 hour visit it was worth our family’s time to go. I have 4 stars because I think that 35$ is a little more than we’d expect to pay considering there is no gondola access and you’re really walking in a park over a structure to get these spectacular views. I loved seeing the indigenous artwork, sculptures and learning about the thunderbird. I wish there was more! The engineering here is a sight to see and the effort for kids was put forward with many displays, activities and structures.

Quite expensive but great view! Arrived close to 5pm (before they closed) as we didn’t realize they were going to close that soon as we were visiting Victoria from Vancouver. It took about 40 minutes to get here from Downtown and luckily, we called the workers and they mentioned to us that it should be good (although they recommended, we come earlier but we can’t change that). Really great service and helpful. They mentioned that it takes about 1.5 hours to finish the entire event but since we were a couple (no kids), we basically plowed through the walk there. It took us about 45 minutes to finish the entire thing. The skywalk was nice, the view was amazing. There were nets on the top for us to walk on where you can look below which could be amazing for some people (unless you’re afraid of heights). There is a slide where once you reach the near the top, you can take a mat and slide down that takes about 7-9 seconds to go all the way down. The gift shop was very expensive, their hats and hoodies looked really nice and we thought about getting it, but $70 for a hoodie, $23-35 for a t-shirt, and $42 for a cap… it cost a lot more than where you would go to average stores (like getting a Toronto Raptor’s hat is going to be cheaper). Overall, we couldn’t justify getting one although we love souvenirs. One critique I would have is that for $27, I’d expect a bit more events or some activities/things to do there. This is a great place to come check out!
