Tel: 250-361-0260 for street parking information
Tel: 250-361-0331 for parkade information
The city offers on-street metered and unmetered parking, parkades and parking lots. Parkades cannot handle over-height vehicles, such as camper vans, RVs and large vehicles with roof-top luggage carriers.
As of April 2003, City of Victoria parkades are free of charge on Sundays and public holidays; meters are free every day after 6:00 pm and all day on Sundays. This policy may change, so please read signs and meters carefully to avoid a ticket.
Metered on-street parking is limited to two hours or less (the limit is stated on the meter); meters accept $1 and 25-cent coins. Most unmetered parking is in the semi-residential area to the south and west of the museum and is time-limited.

Robbins Parking

Tel: 250-382-4411
Robbins Parking lots generally dispense a pre-paid ticket from an on-site machine. These machines accept payment by coins ($2, $1, 25-cent); most also accept credit cards.
If you pay, but the machine does not produce a ticket, do not leave a note on your vehicle as lot patrollers will ignore it. Instead, call Robbins immediately and leave a message with the following information: license number, parking location, method of payment, how much paid, date and time of payment, your name and home phone number. If lot patrollers have issued you a ticket for failure to display a receipt, this will allow Robbins to confirm that the correct procedure was followed and to check that the machine was out of order at the time of purchase. It may also help you to dispute a parking ticket.
(Tip: If you pay by credit card you will eventually have a record of the transaction via your credit statement, just in case the ticket dispenser is not working properly.)
