The Parksville & District Chamber of Commerce is proud to operate the Visitor Centre on behalf of the City of Parksville.

Located at the entrance to Parksville, the Parksville Visitor Centre is conveniently located just off Highway 19A (Exit #46), between the Craig Heritage Park Museum and Rotary Peace Park.

Picnic tables and benches in Rotary Peace Park make the stop a lovely place to relax and have a picnic. Our parking facilities will accommodate your SUV, RV or even your bus, right next to a nice walking trail and close to our washroom facilities.

Our courteous and knowledgeable Tourism BC-certified staff provide professional visitor counseling, itinerary planning tailored to your interests and needs, accommodation and activity reservations, helpful travel information including transportation and community information on all areas of British Columbia.

Visit our unique gift shop which showcases our local artisans with an exclusive collection of West Coast t-shirts, unique raku pottery, fabulous glassworks, wildlife pictures and books, canvas paintings, art maps, British Columbia Super Natural t-shirts and native art.

Our Visitor Centre also has washroom facilities, up-to-date road, weather and event information. We have the most complete selection of brochures and publications providing visitors with all the information needed to make informed decisions whatever their vacation plan. You can buy your BC Park Passes and maps right here, no matter what your destination.

The Parksville Visitor Centre serves over 35,000 Visitors each year. Many visitors plan their trips to the Parksville area to coincide with our many annual events and festivals and start their trip by visiting us.

We are looking forward to seeing you.
