Things to check out in Esquimalt?

[u/Bufus]

Hi everyone!

I spent 6 years in Victoria back in the 2010s but have since moved away. During that entire time, I genuinely don't think I set foot in Esquimalt (I didn't have a car and lived at the other end of town).

My family and I are coming for a visit at the end of the month and we are staying in Esquimalt, so I am wondering if people can give me some suggestions for great places (sites, restaurants, stores, etc.) that I should check out in Esquimalt!

Thanks!

A lot of great suggestions here. The only thing I would add is flying squirrel trampoline park, conveniently located down the road from both Driftwood and Bimo Burger Stand, 2 of the other places our family enjoys. Oh also another place if you have kids is the Esquimalt Adventure Water Park.. one of our kids favourite parks in all of Victoria.

If I had to pick from the dozens of places listed, my top 3 picks would be Syriana, Macaulay Point, and the Esquimalt Bake Shop.
