Nicknamed "The City of Lakes and Parks," Victoria is located in Carver County, Minnesota. The nickname is appropriate, as you will find 13 parks and 9 lakes within Victoria's borders. What began as a farming region has developed into a progressive community with its residents' well-being of primary concern. Because of its close proximity to the Twin Cities, many choose to live in Victoria and commute to work within the greater metropolitan area.
With so many parks and lakes surrounding you, there will never be a shortage of recreational activities for you and your family. Take your family out to Lake Auburn for a weekend of camping fun that does not involve a lengthy drive, or spend the day fishing on Steiger Lake. When you feel it is time for a little bit of sporty fun, Lions Park offers up a tennis court, baseball and softball fields, and an outdoor ice rink during the winter. Victoria borders the Carver Park Reserve, a beautiful 250-acre natural environment that is also home to the Lowry Nature Center.
Make a point of attending the annual Spirit of the Lakes Festival on nearby Lake Minnetonka. This three day festival features parades, music, food and a variety of other events for the whole family. Stay to the end on the last day to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display over the lake. Nearby Excelsior is home to the newly renovated Old Log Theater where you can enjoy live theater performances after a delicious lunch or dinner. For an enjoyable family movie night, make the effort to drive 20-miles out to the Eden Prairie Center with its AMC Theatres offering 18 screens with stadium seating.
Shakopee is only 10-miles from Victoria; conveniently close to take care of your basic shopping needs at the Dollar General store or Target. The Eden Prairie Center is the nearest destination mall and it includes most of the large national brands as anchor tenants. Bloomington's famous Mall of America is not much farther.
The city is served by three school districts, with one public school and one private school within the city limits. Higher education is perfectly covered by the many colleges and universities in and around Minneapolis, which is only a 30-minute drive away.
