The Victoria Bug Zoo is a two-room minizoo that is located in downtown Victoria, just one block north from the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The Victoria Bug Zoo is owned and operated by International Bug Zoos Incorporated.

The Bug Zoo exhibits about 50 different species of insects and arachnids and is currently the largest tropical insect collection in North America and has Canada's largest ant farm that contains leaf-cutter ants.

Visitors can chose to come in and tour around for themselves or can walk around with a tour guide and learn about the insect world. Furthermore, while with a tour guide, visitors 19 years and older, can hold and handle different varieties of species like tarantulas, cockroaches, scorpions, walking sticks, centipedes and praying mantis.

Recently, the Bug Zoo opened the Party Room, where visitors can rent it out for birthdays, business functions or any other special occassions.
