Casa Roedde è una casa vittoriana restaurata nel Downtown West End. Costruita nel 1893 per i nuovi arrivati in città Gustav e Mathilda Roedde, si attribuisce il suo progetto all'architetto della Columbia Britannica Francis M. Rattenbury, che disegnò l'impressionante Edificio della legislatura e l'Hotel Empress a Victoria. Lo stile è quello Queen Anne Revival, come si può notare dai dettagli come la cupola, il bovindo e la veranda.
This national history museum at the University of British Columbia has a mammoth collection of over two million specimens which includes the famed 25 meter (82 feet) female blue whale skeleton, supposedly bigger than a brontosaurus. The museum's main aim is to spread the awareness of biodiversity and how it impacts the world we live in. This underground museum is worth the trip for the suspended blue whale skeleton itself. Enjoy the information shared by the guides about the blue whales and other specimens. There is also an interactive lab where you can try to be a scientist by comparing the claws of different bird species and more, under a microscope. The museum also has a family space filled with books, art and interactive exhibits to keep the kids interested and entertained.
