Yale Historic site near hope, 25 $ for 5 member family or per head 10 $, they display year of 1858 medical clinic, saloon, grocery store, also small musium, and beautiful church open for public, highly recommended for visit this place with family

This is a wonderful place to visit if you’re interested in history and want to get a sense of what life was like during the Gold Rush era. The Yale Historic Site is well preserved, with informative displays, artifacts, and friendly staff who are happy to answer questions. Walking around the buildings gives you a feeling of stepping back in time, and the museum itself is small but filled with interesting stories. The site is not huge, so you can easily explore it in an hour or so, which makes it a nice stop along the way if you’re traveling through the Fraser Canyon. I especially enjoyed the church and the original homes, as they give you a very authentic vibe.

Great for a quick stop and learn on your way. Free but donations are welcome, since they are a non-profit organization.

I had a wonderful experience at the Yale Historic Center. It’s a place full of history, beautifully maintained, and with a welcoming atmosphere that truly invites you to learn and connect with the past. A special thanks and congratulations to Anderson for his outstanding work and dedication. His commitment is evident in every detail—from the thoughtful organization to the warm way he welcomes visitors. I'm especially grateful for the events hosted at the center. They're always well-planned, engaging, and enriching for the whole community. Thank you for keeping history alive in such an inspiring way!

Visiting the Yale Historic Center was a truly enriching experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The center offers a fascinating glimpse into local history, with well-curated exhibits, carefully preserved spaces, and an atmosphere that invites exploration and learning. We’d like to give a special shout-out to Anderson, the manager, whose work truly elevated our visit. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail reflect a genuine passion for both history and hospitality. He took the time to answer our questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured every guest felt welcome and valued. Thank you, Anderson, for your dedication and outstanding service. We will absolutely return—and highly recommend the Yale Historic Center to anyone looking to connect with history through an engaging and well-run experience!

The site is beautifully preserved, with highlights, built in 1863 and still standing proudly in its original location — a true testament to the town's enduring legacy. A heartfelt congratulations to Anderson for the incredible work and unwavering commitment to preserving and bringing history to life. Your passion and dedication shine through every detail of the site. Thank you, Anderson, for everything you’ve done to keep this remarkable piece of Canadian heritage alive. Your work is deeply appreciated and truly inspiring!

Not worth the money unfortunately. We arrived in the entrance, and it was 25$ for a family. We had hoped it would be by donation & we could just do a short walk around. There didn’t seem to be much to do, the staff didn’t give us any info or encourage us to come in, and there weren’t any other people there. We have been to many other small local museums similar, and they were always free or a small donation. We saw the church from the street, and that was enough. There are bathrooms and a small parking lot if you need a rest stop.

Absolutely stunning🌟!! Beautiful mix of nature and history. It’s short walk from the parking lot (5mins). We visited over the weekend and it was pretty busy, parking gets full pretty fast but there’s plenty of parking alongside the road you can use, if you don’t mind walking a few extra meters!! Tunnels are extraordinary. Walk alongside the canyon, with rushing water - its just beautiful😍 Definitely check them out while they are still Open!!

Beautiful place. Wonderful nature with peaceful sound of the clear water. We could enter three tunnels, or actually 2,5; Halfway the last tunnel was a wall built, with a note with the message repairs are needed on the tunnels so we couldn't go further. Despite it was very worth the (15-20 minute?) stop. It was a very little walk of approximately 5 minutes. (Would have been possible/ accessible with wheelchair I guess.)

Absolutely gorgeous, it was amazing how the tunnels turn around to fabulous views. It's a nice walk towards the entrance and get dark, better to have some form touch or mobile flash would do. The bridges are quite the catch with the view. There are more tunnels and could walk down the way. Definitely a place to visit!

Made a pit stop here on route from Vancouver to Sun Peaks and I’m so glad that we did. The tunnels are incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. The views are amazing. I highly recommend visiting this place from some unique sights and amazing pictures.

The nature here is absolutely beautiful, and it’s a very interesting historical place. This is a great destination for anyone who loves the rich history of our province. I just have a couple of small suggestions: 1. On weekends, it’s really difficult to find parking — there clearly aren’t enough spots, and there are a lot of tourists. 2. There isn’t much historical information available on-site, so I often had to use Google Search to learn more about the place. Other than that, it’s definitely worth visiting!

Finally revisited the Othello tunnels since their full re-opening, the restoration crews did a great job. It may only be a short portion of the historic kettle valley railway, but it's beautiful, the tunnels are a little spooky, and everything feels very safe. Don't forget your flashlight, or the flashlight on your phone.

Visiting this place is like a small lottery — sometimes you get to see it, sometimes you don’t. Very unexpectedly. Our group tried twice. The second time we even called ahead, and they confirmed the Tunnels were open. We drove more than 150 km — only to find them closed. Why? For how long? Nobody could answer. I hope you’ll be luckier. From the parking lot, it’s just a 12-minute walk along a wide, flat road, comfortable even for seniors and children. On the bright side, the road to this location is very picturesque, which helps soften the disappointment. And by the way, you can also visit the famous Bridal Falls, just 42 km away.

If you are ever in Hope, you must see this art gallery! This gallery exhibits and sells fine art and crafts created by talented local artists. Each rooms displayed different artists hand made works, including paintings, prints, decorative and functional pottery, jewelry, wood, beadwork, fabric, fibre arts and more … lovely and fine ! Gallery artists are also volunteers! You may see them creating their work while you visit. Today I happened to meet the artist Mila. She is awesome! I appreciated her works, especially her paintings, peaceful, sunshine, and inspiring…

Great local art and handicrafts at far too low prices. You can afford gifts for others and something for yourself too...hand made shawls, pottery, paintings, photography, jewelry and more. Worth a trip to Hope. Take in some history, several fantastic hikes and a world class bike park....stay for the weekend!

What a beautiful, intimate and engaging space. Everyone was kind and helpful and the art crosses many mediums to create an all around wonderful art experience. If you are ever in Hope, this should not be missed

I loved the little Art Gallery of Hope! The different rooms displayed such lovely and fine objects d'Art, I was happily surprised at the talents of each of the collections of Artisans!

This is a surprisingly large gallery for such a little town. Local artists showcase a variety of mediums, and a variety of skill levels. If you look around, you can definitely find some (affordable!) gems.

'Love this little shop. My husband is more interested in the local art, which leaves me time to look at the handmade jewellery that is amazing. The prices are excellent.

Beautiful handcraft and love the welcoming atmosphere..if you are visiting Hope that is the must see location 😊

This place is perfect for kids 5 and under. Adults and everyone else, it's s just a kiddie pool. All the slides were closed minus two very small kid slides. On the plus side it was not busy at all. Hot tub was perfect temp. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We recently visited Bridal Falls Waterpark hoping to support a local business, but the experience was shocking and unacceptable. The tube slide is still closed, yet patrons are charged full admission. The website claimed all body slides were open, which was the main reason we went. When we arrived, my children lined up for the body slides only for me to notice there was no water running. I asked a lifeguard, and he casually said they were still doing repairs and waiting for them to set, which would take at least 30 minutes. That 30 minutes quietly turned into over 2.5 hours without any announcement over the PA system or notification to guests. Opening times for the body slides kept changing constantly. Guests were asking lifeguards every few minutes for updates, but the staff were evasive and unhelpful. Management in the office was rude, dismissive, and unapologetic about the delays. No announcements were made to inform anyone about the situation. The lifeguards were completely unprofessional. They allowed people to linger and sit in front of the body slides, even occupying platforms marked “Lifeguard Only.” The fundamental rule of clearing the pool as soon as people exit the slides was ignored. One child accidentally splashed a lifeguard while exiting the water, and the lifeguard yelled at the child. These lifeguards behave like a mean-girls or mean-boys gang rather than professionals. They should be fired immediately and replaced with mature lifeguards who understand their responsibility to keep guests safe. Why are repairs being done while the park is open? Considering the serious injuries that happened on the tube slide last year, this raises severe concerns about the park’s overall safety practices. Charging full price when most attractions are unavailable is unacceptable. The ongoing repairs during operating hours are a blatant safety hazard, and Technical Safety BC should flag this immediately. The park needs more inspections and stricter oversight. While my children waited at the top of the hill for the body slides, no lifeguard was present to tell them the slides were closed. I had to personally tell a lifeguard to go up and notify the kids. This is a dangerous oversight. What if a child had gone down a slide under repair? Unsupervised slides are an accident waiting to happen. Many families, including ours, drive out here every year with the intention of supporting a local business. After the horrific accident last year in which people were seriously injured, we were hesitant but gave the park the benefit of the doubt. That trust has been completely undermined by this visit. The combination of ongoing repairs during park hours, unprofessional and inattentive staff, misleading advertising, and rude management makes this park unsafe and unreliable. Management needs to take immediate action. Lifeguards must understand that their job is to protect guests, not socialize or act like they are above the rules. Until serious safety and staffing issues are addressed, I cannot recommend this park to anyone. Cultus Lake offers a far superior experience and much better value for the price. (*See photos)

We absolutely loved this place! The staff were so warm and friendly, and they made sure my kids were having the best time. Even though the tube slide was closed, there were still plenty of activities to keep us all entertained throughout the day. I have to mention one blonde staff member in particular who was amazing with the kids on the slides she really went out of her way to make the experience extra special for the little ones. I truly appreciated how much effort they put into making the day enjoyable for everyone!

This is a pretty fun water park. It is good for most people. Even for little kids, they can still enjoy the enfant safe part. The slides are fast when you lay down and slow when you sit up. There a little wait to go on the bigger slide. Even the people that only come in the park and not play need to pay the full price too. But overall a good experience.

Went for the first time great for families with smaller kids. There were no stairs and the park is relatively small keeping it easy to keep track of little ones. The slides do enough of thrill for the kids to enjoy but not as big and spread out as cultas. The food was ok but the time to prep the food was too long especially for a bit so busy day. We went when the tube slide was not open so that was a bit of a disappointment however the website was clear in stating and sharing the information so I appreciated the communication. Overall was a good day and a place I would like to come again.

Honestly, for what it is, it's perfect. Smaller slides but you can sit in the hot tub and see your kids the whole time. Nostalgic candy shop, good tunes playing, much more chill than Cultus Lake. We had a lovely afternoon there. Buying tickets online is a bit cheaper (but you have to buy before 10am for same day tickets). We did the half day (late afternoon) and it was great.

The rapid river is the prime draw for my family. The other four main slides are okay, but the time in lineups compared to actual slide time is not terribly good. Long lines on the river, however, go quickly and the time on the river is a quasi-dangerous hoot! There's also a good amount of space to set up day camp and the scenery around the park is second to none.

bridal Falls comes up in things to see in the area and we have noticed it used in some Canadian filmed shows so decided to explore. We went on a misty morning on a Wednesday in December thinking we’d be the only tourist types going in the rain but there were small groups of people coming and going. There really isn’t anywhere to park but a road edge and it is a fairly steep hike for 15 minutes up to the falls. Very scenic area and a beautiful falls.

Went there in the morning for a short walk during weekend with friends. Better be there early on weekends to get parking spot. Trails available and going up to the right you will able to see the amazing Bridal Veil Falls. Their Picnic area, tables and pit washrooms are better than Shannon Falls. Although these parks have their own must see great views. Dog friendly on leash park and trail but didn’t see any playground for children.

Beautiful waterfalls conveniently near highway 1. The short hike is worth it. But i hope they place more direction signs. It may be a short trail, but we still got a bit lost as there were 2 intertwined trails. Parking can be full, so a little bit of patience is needed even on a not so busy day.

Are you getting sleepy on a long commute? If yes, then here is a quick little hike to get the blood flowing and wake you up. Trail will take you about 15 minutes hike to the top, and the waterfall waters are good for a quick cold shower (if you choose to ignore the signs and hike the rest of the way up). It is worth a stop 100%

The trails and paths are extremely well maintained and clearly marked. The viewing area at the waterfall has a taped off area to prevent people from climbing up to the falls, but someone cut the tape. Beautiful picnic spots near the parking area with plenty of restrooms close by. The picnic tables are right next to a small stream which is incredibly peaceful to listen to. I would imagine the place gets very busy in the sunny months though. This was an amazing morning trip from Abbotsford.

Wonderful place for a short (uphill) hike to the falls. There are two trails up -- one is steeper and shorter. We took that one up and then the longer, less steep one back (has some stairs). Other trails as well for longer hikes.

the walk is steep in some places, but not incredibly difficult if you have no physical barriers. Some slopes are about 30*+ and you feel it. The view is worth it. There are two paths up, the short one from the parking lot has the steepest slopes. The other one has some stairs to help.

Visited this place during the weekend, the drive is a quite an experience the mountain has enough snow for skiing. Located an hour drive from Vancouver is a great option for skiers and to enjoy the drive with panoramic views of mountains.

The road today was not too bad. Yes there are a lot of potholes especially near the resort, but we did our best steering around them. It does help to drive a 4x4. The ski runs were well groomed. Spring conditions though. Overall a fun day.

Sasquatch Mountain is a great little spot if you want a good day of skiing without all of the massive lineups that larger resorts come with. Although you don't get the benefit of having 50+ run options like you would at larger resorts, the runs are much less busy and for the price and proximity, you really can't beat it. The food at the lodge is also incredible - definitely make a stop!

Last Tuesday, my friends and I went snowboarding at the resort. Upon arrival, we asked the Guest Experience staff how everything worked. They only mentioned the full-day pass and told us to purchase it, but didn’t inform us that we needed to pay for rentals at the same counter. This led to unnecessary back-and-forth, wasting our time. After finally getting our gear, we were told rentals had to be returned by 4 PM—something we weren’t informed about when purchasing the full-day pass. We assumed the lifts would run longer, but they stopped at 4 PM. That said, I really enjoyed the resort itself. It wasn’t overcrowded, which made it a great place to practice and improve my snowboarding skills. If the staff had communicated better, my experience would have been much better. I hope the resort improves staff training to provide clearer information, as I would love to return under better circumstances.

Had a great experience at Sasquatch overall! Pros: Short/ no line ups Happy, helpful staff and people Different experience Good snow Nice atmosphere inside the pub Amazing chalets to rent near the ski resort (will likely still need to drive a few mins with your equipment to the ski resort though) Free parking Cons: The road isn't great but definitely manageable - first half is paved, steep and winding, the rest is gravel with various pot holes. Snow tires definitely recommended. However, depending on weather i.e. if not forecast 100% snow, then it's doable. There was even a Tesla and Evo at the top. Food in the pub is mediocre No where to hang/ dry wet gloves or coats There's pros and cons to everything in life, only stating as a heads up! Sasquatch is a must and I'd recommend to all.

I am leaving a review of the terrain and MTN as a local rider. I love this MTN for its compact family friendly size, and as a long time rider at Sasquatch, I know the nooks and secret spots so there's often something fresh or fun to ride.

Had a lovely new year's dinner there today and the food was great! Big servings, served hot, reasonably priced, and we didn't have to wait that long. Exceptional service. The road wasn't great, but at the end of the day it was all worth it because the view is amazing once you got at the resort and restaurant. Parking is also free. 10/10.🫶

The view is underrated during Summer for the ski area and can’t justify the beauty in Winter season, but it is worth a visit. Most parts of the roads uphill are winery, so it requires good driving skills. Chains are needed for Winter.

🚲🛹fun. Theres flaggers on road and a temporary signal be careful bikers going 40+, when we finally did decide to leave the abrupt flaggers made group of bikers behind us screech to a halt

Epic mountain with tons of snow during the season! ❄️🏂 No frills, just pure skiing and snowboarding fun. The terrain is insane — great for advanced riders but still has chill runs too 🎿🔥 Vibes are super local and laid-back, no resort crowds 🙌 If you love powder, Mt. Baker delivers. 💯🌨️

I’ve been coming here for multiple years now, the skiing here is great, with great views at the top of the lifts. And food at the lodges is good.

Great destination for hiking, camping, and snowshoes. You can ski, too. And they all come with great views if Baker, Shuksan, ridges, lakes, and (in season) fall colors of blueberry and Sumac.

Road is a little rough, but my '98 Jetta made it no problem. Great little lake to walk around, can't wait to see it after it snows!

Amazing mountain that has soenthing for everyone. From painters caught up in the beautiful landscape to skiers and hikers looking to push the limit. The views here are breathtaking

This is now by far my favorite Washington waterfall. Amazing! The amount of water coming down and another river joining it is incredible to watch. The drive is long from Olympia, but worth it at least once. There are snakes in the area, but we didn't see any. All snakes west of the cascades are non- venomous. In Washington state, the only venomous snake is the Western Rattlesnake, also known as the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake. It is primarily found in the eastern part of the state, east of the Cascade Mountains. There's plenty of parking of everyone parks next to each other.

You drive down a windy gravel road to an open gravel parking lot. The walk down is only like a minute from the parking lot. The falls is beautiful and fenced in from the cliff. No restrooms available.

Gorgeous!!!!! Easy to get to and view the beautiful waterfall.

Beautiful waterfall, great location, each to get to.

SPECTACULAR!!! I first went to Racehorse falls which isn't too far away and I thought it was my favorite Until I saw Nooksack....WOW I first climbed under the bridge and down some big rocks which put me on Top of the falls which was an Amazing perspective. If it had been wet the rocks would have been dangerous and slippery but luckily I was there on a dry day. Just around the corner you can see the falls falling. So very beautiful. And I also liked that there was no hiking needed. Highly recommend these falls.

Easy to get to and pretty but the very tall fencing takes away from the glory of it all. I understand it's necessary for safety purposes but it does take away from the beauty.

This is my favorite spot to escape from reality and enjoy nature, I've also siphoned gallons of water from the falls and its the most refreshing water I've ever had.

I really enjoyed the place — the park is fantastic! It’s a great space for both adults and children to spend time, relax, enjoy the fresh air, and unwind. That said, there were a couple of things that slightly took away from the overall experience. First, the staff. I wish they were more friendly and engaged. It was rare to see anyone smile or show interest. It often felt like the younger staff members saw themselves as being “in charge” and behaved in a somewhat condescending or superior way. That kind of attitude isn’t very welcoming and doesn’t encourage return visits. If the staff were more open and positive in their interactions, I would happily give this place five stars. Secondly, the food at the food court was underwhelming. Some of the vegetables looked like they had wilted long before they made it to my plate. The tomatoes, for example, were completely inedible — I couldn’t even manage to eat them. On a positive note, though, the poutine was delicious — so thank you for that!

A excellent Waterpark located just a hour across the Canadian boarder from Washington State. The Staff was outstanding, very helpful and and friendly. A great variety of water slides. Lots of splash areas for the young ones. The area was so clean. There is plenty of parking ( They do charge a fee) really enjoyed everything they offered

Fun-Filled Family Day at Cultus Lake Waterpark! We visited Cultus Lake Waterpark last Saturday with the whole family, and it was an absolute blast! The kids (and adults!) had an unforgettable time. The park offers a fantastic variety of rides suitable for both children and adults, ensuring everyone finds something to enjoy. The highlight of our day was the colossal canyon - grabbing a four-person tube and navigating the twists and turns was thrilling and had us all laughing like crazy! There are plenty of picnic table areas throughout the park, perfect for setting up a home base to relax and eat. We also loved discovering the hot tubs scattered around—see if you can find them all for a relaxing break between rides! A few things to note: There’s a bag check at the entrance, and open bottles will be emptied, so plan accordingly. Also, once you enter, there’s no re-entry, so make sure to bring all your essentials with you. Overall, Cultus Lake Waterpark is a fantastic spot for a family outing. With exciting rides, great amenities, and plenty of fun, we can’t wait to return!

Cultus Lake Waterpark is considered as one of the best in British Columbia. It's only a couple of hours away from Downtown Vancouver or about an hour away from Surrey. The drive to this place is wonderful. The rides are amazing and for most rides you don't need to be a swimmer. There are lifeguards watching you from everywhere so you're pretty safe. Beware: some rides do need you to be an expert swimmer. Please buy your tickets in advance as on weekends they are mostly sold out. You can carry your tents, umbrellas, mats, wagons full of food and drinks, etc. They have a ground which can be used for having a picnic. You can get lockers there to store valuable belongings. As for parking, you get two options - free parking at the back of the park (unsupervised), and paid parking ($10 for the day) in front of the park. You can check their website for all the good things you get. It's well written over there. A must go with friends or with family.

The park has a great, fun, and family-friendly atmosphere. Lots of slides and activities for kids, and the whole place is well-maintained. The staff are friendly and make you feel safe. ✅ Pros: • A wide variety of slides for all ages • Clean, family-oriented environment • Helpful and polite staff ❌ Main downside: They don’t limit ticket sales, so it gets overcrowded. We had to spend most of our day standing in long lines. It would be much better if they controlled the number of visitors.

Fantastic park! Layout makes everything accessible. Also a ton of fun slides/rides for teens and adults. Since it was a bit cloudy, it wasn't as busy as I feel it would be if it was sunny. We were able to get a covered table and that made a different compared to being on the grass (as we didn't prepare for that). Staff was friendly and helpful. I honestly enjoyed all the slides and raft rides. Price was $40 CAD (I'm from California) and I felt that was about right. Food is always pricey, but there is an option to bring in sealed food. I did buy "Valley of fries" which was like $12. Also there is a coffee/expresso/frappe' bar too. Valley of Fear, Speed Slide and Freefall were awesome. Again, honestly impressed with all the slides. And if it is a bit cold at 1st, there are hot tubs dotted throughout the park! My kids enjoyed immensely.

Such an amazing waterpark!! The best I’ve been to in BC. It’s got a whole bunch of slides ranging from easy to difficult, and ones for all ages. The lineups aren’t terrible, they seem to cap attendance at the right number to keep everything flowing smoothly in the park. There is food available and it’s not too expensive. I recommend the fish and chips, it is excellent! Don’t fear if it’s raining, you will still have a blast at the waterpark because the lines will be shorter, and there are hot tubs everywhere. I’ve been here on a rainy day before and it was one of my favourite days in the park. You can’t beat a sunny day though, even with the longer lines! Highly recommend checking out this waterpark, you will not be disappointed!

There is 350m elevation to get to the suspension bridge but nice views from there. Suspension bridge is exciting and offers nice place to take photographs. Slightly challenging for those who’ve leg injury or mobility issues. Lots of parking but can get full during summer.

Cascade Falls is a must-visit spot, perfect for a quick and refreshing getaway. Located just a short distance away, I never imagined I could reach such a stunning waterfall so easily. The walk to the falls is gentle and accessible for everyone, making it an ideal destination for all ages.

A beautiful oasis just 1-2 hours outside of Vancouver! Cascade Falls is absolutely stunning, and the short hike to the suspension bridge is both fun and scenic. It’s a great spot to cool off on a hot day, with crystal-clear pools perfect for swimming and refreshing cool water. Just a heads-up—make sure to bring bug spray, especially if you’re planning to stay later in the day. Enjoy!

Loved this spot! A very short toddler friendly hike up to the waterfall. There is a bit of an incline but very manageable for kids 2+, just hold their hands. There are some stairs along the way as well but doesn't take more than 15 mins if you're walking slowly. You can take some great pictures at the waterfall and the bridge. At the base, if you go right, there are a couple of sheltered tables for a picnic and then in the same area you can get right into the water flowing from the waterfall.

This waterfalls is always a refreshing sight. I saw it on Fall and Summer time. The picnic area is tiny but the river below is a lovely spot to go for a quick dip. The restroom could get a little bit of cleaning.

Nice, short walk to an absolutely beautiful waterfall. Great for the family to get some air and explore, totally worth a visit. No drones, no flippy floppys...doesn't say anything about pants though!

A beautiful hidden gems, a great place to take a day trip You can take a short hike to the falls which is spectacular, a wonderful suspension bridge along the route. There is a nice size parking lot, a few picnic tables! A great place for a picnic!!

We had a great time visiting Castle Fun Park! There are plenty of games to enjoy, and the pricing for each one was quite reasonable. I’d definitely recommend this place for kids—but honestly, it’s just as fun for adults. After all, you’re never too old to be a kid again! We really enjoyed playing some of the shooting games, Racing, Mario Kart, and pinball. "Bumper car" was especially fun.mini golf is a must try. Unfortunately, we missed out on go-karting because we arrived too early—the track opens after 5 PM. Luckily, we still have our Castle Fun Card loaded with credit, so we’re looking forward to going back and trying the go-karts next time!

A nice arcade in a quiet area near Abbotsford. Go Karts open 5pm. There are plenty of games to play. Some are expensive like Underwater Golf but you can go along the kids even if you are not playing. The golf area is quite dated but nevertheless, kids love it. Laser Room is weird. Sometimes the game lasts 10 seconds. There are many more games upstairs including some real classic arcades like Contra. There is also mini bowling which is a great deal with the amount of turns you get. There is also dodging cars which is fun for the family. Overall, a nice place to spend 2-3 hours with the family.

Mostly arcade games, most of the machines are pretty old and don’t work as intended. Really wish they could upgrade the facility and improve on the concession snacks. Still this place is a great option for first timers and on rainy days. Staffs who work there are nice though.

Lots of out of order / broken games 10% maybe 20% for the older kids. The batting cages and outside still out of commission. The super young kids area is in good shape 100% functional. Food is well you know. Heat rack menu. Kids love it. Clean and tidy. Fairly busy - it is a rainy Sunday. Otherwise same old place as before.

What can I say, it's Castle Fun Park! Lots of fun! I just wish they were able to have the outdoor mini-golf course restored after the flooding a few years ago.

Kids had fun, games are a reasonable price. Pretty quiet and lots still closed due to the flood in 2021...4 years of construction and all thats open is video games and golf

Bowling is nice; short lanes, affordable, no line ups. Bumper cars area is very small, we were playing in 3 people and it looked crowded. Arcade has tons of games!

The village store is such a fascinating business to go to. I just wish I knew about it sooner because they have been in business for almost 40 years. They have a great variety of different candy, tea and even baked goods such as scones and pies to serve. They have some unique sweets like Cotton Candy Dr. Pepper, Reese’s Wafer bars, Karameller Swedish Candy and Candy Rock Sticks. They even sell a unique selection of beer; however, you can only have it when you are dining in their store. The interior countenance of the store is very old-fashioned yet appealing. There was an old but working fireplace, these historic industrial coffee makers and a lot of other old knick-knacks on display. The people who worked there were very pleasant and helpful too. I did not take any pictures or videos of the inside of the village store, out of respect for the owners and workers there. I would very much love to pay my patronage to the Clayburn Village Store again soon. For those of you that have not been there yet, go check it out.

The owners Trish and Bryan are kind , caring people who run a special shop . I’m never disappointed with their selection of British food and treats galore. Their home baked specialty pasties etc. are the best , their soups so tasty and made from the best local ingredients …. We’re so lucky to have them here !

A not to be missed experience. I especially enjoyed meeting and talking with Brian one of the store owners. Not only does he have extensive knowledge of the products in the store but he is so passionate about what he does. Walking around the store packed with items which in some cases are only available in this store, is an absolute joy. Products include British chocolates and candies, Chutneys, Jams, sauces etc.

What a spot! This place has everything for the sweet tooth in the family as well as some delicious savory fresh baked goods. The owners are incredibly welcoming and happy to have a chat to get to know you and tell you about the amazing history of this store. Its the true centre piece of Clayburn Village and its an amazing piece of community.

A cozy store with country charm and rare finds. Enjoy a blast from the past with gourmet food and candy. Located in historic Clayburn Village, this store has been serving the community since 1912. You will find a wide selection of gourmet food and candy, from local jams and honey to imported teas and chocolates.

A small shop at the back of a residential house selling body care and facial care products made with essential oils. Good quality, wonderful scent, and reasonable price. The owner Sue is very nice and showed me how she organized her work. Decor is cozy and romantic. Highly recommend. This shop only opens Saturday in Abbortsford.

Great place to visit. The scones and cream are the real thing. Highly recommend. Very extensive inventory of British specialty foods and treats. Amazing candy selection.

First time visiting the Vancouver Zoo, and it was better than I thought! We were able to see lots of animals, and they all looked happy and relaxed. I highly recommend joining some of the spotlight programs, as they were free and educational. The safari cycles rent out very quickly, so if you want to try them, it’s best to rent early. It took us about 3 hours as adults to walk through the entire zoo. The only improvement I would suggest is for the zoo to have more water dispensers inside.

Wonderful afternoon checking out the Zoo. Well maintained with plenty of friendly hard working staff. Hippo, Giraffes, Siberian tigers, Elk, Reindeer, Lions, Grizzlies...and plenty more including a delightful mass of flamingos in full zen modes. And a Jurassic park like area full of animatronic dinosaurs and raptors. Spectacular for the kiddies. Screams of excitement and a little fear filled the air as the Dino's roared and shook all around. Must see for locals and a great place to take visitors. A little pricey but worth it. We are from the lower mainland and decided to buy annual pass so that we can many more times. Check it out. It is a wonderful walk and eye opener to the World beyond our urban lifestyles.

Great Family Day at Greater Vancouver Zoo! We had a wonderful time at the Greater Vancouver Zoo! It was a fun and relaxing day with family — especially the excitement of spotting hidden animals like the red panda and snow leopard. 🐼❄️ The zoo is very family-friendly with plenty of picnic tables and clean washrooms available throughout. It’s a great place to spend quality time with family and kids of all ages. One small suggestion: it would be nice to have more food options available inside the zoo for visitors who don’t bring their own meals. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting at least once! 🌿🦓🐘

We had a wonderful stroll through the Greater Vancouver Zoo! While it’s small and doesn’t have a huge variety of animals, it’s definitely worth walking around to see the endangered species and joining the workshops. We even got front-row seats to watch the rangers feed the cheetah up close — such a thrill! One tip: skip the little train if you want to really see the animals, as it doesn’t give you much detail. A compact zoo, but full of memorable experiences!

We enjoyed our visit more in 2025 than it was 4 years ago. We were able to see more animals and there is a spotlight for some animals where you can learn more about them. The schedule of spotlights is at the entrance. New for us were cute minicars that you can rent to go around the zoo. Very cool! And they have huge bouncy castles included in the price. I think annual membership worth it and we plan to come back many times!

Big improvements since last visit. New entrance and washroom, picnic area most welcome. Other than the new hippo pool it is largely the same. Kids loved all the animals and they were mostly where you could see them. The came back a second time to catch the hipposcas they were submerged the first time around and the red pandas as they were asleep the first time. Caught them all around 11:00 am. It take a good 2 hours to get through the zoo without any back tracking. Even the animatronic dinosaurs were a hit, the children loved them. The fun day😁👍 recommend.

Very nice zoo with plenty of space for the animals. They all look fine and happy. If you don't see an animal on your first try, try to come back again and you'll see them.

We had such an amazing time at the farm today :) It does get quite busy, especially on Sundays, so I definitely recommend going early. And whatever you do, don’t skip the waffles.. they were absolutely delicious 😁 The farm market was fantastic as well. We picked up some fresh fruit, and everything tasted incredible. The berries we picked ourselves were hands-down the best! Everyone working at the farm was so kind and welcoming. If you’re looking for a fun day out, this place is a must-visit 🥰

This place is absolutely fantastic! I wasn't expecting the fact that you can spend time there doing so many different things... first and obvious thing is berry pick up. Lots and lots of berries to choose from, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. People grab buckets ona fixed price and they can load them until the berries fit. If you're not familiar, staff is always nice and available to help you with directions. Then there is the market, where you can buy lots of local products, mainly handmade with the same local berries. There is also a place where you can seat and eat, plus the winery with live music inside. The winery is so special... carefully designed and organized in an old ranch-style, with nice displays of wine bottles and other cool furniture. An old guy, Ted, was super nice and friendly, beautifully dressed up and very kind with every guests, helping them to choose the best wine. Absolutely a must go location, ideal for people of all ages, families, couples or friends groups to enjoy a nice afternoon. Suggested to go when it's not too hot as it is obviously a wide open space outdoor when doing the berries pick up. Highly recommended. Thank you!! 😀

I really liked this farm! It was our first time doing a U-pick for strawberries, and we really enjoyed it. The strawberries were so sweet, and it’s easy to pick them since there are plenty even at the end of the day. We also tried the pancakes, wine, and lemonade — everything was delicious. At the market, I bought coffee with strawberry flavor for $8 and 6 ears of corn for $5. The corn was really sweet too! Highly recommend visiting this place with family and friends. 🍓🌽🥞

This was my second year visiting Krause Berry Farms & Estate Winery, and it was just as great as the first! You can easily spend the whole day here, from picking fresh blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries and wandering through the beautiful flower gardens to enjoying a relaxing coffee break. The local wine flight and the corn pizza in is absolutely delicious, especially when followed by their famous waffle for dessert. The live music adds such a lovely atmosphere. Before you leave, don’t miss the charming local shop, we picked up a fresh pie and some unique handmade crafts to take home. A perfect spot for a fun, relaxing, and flavorful day out!

I had a great experience at Krause Berry Farms. I usually come back a few times each summer for berry picking. On Sept 12 the strawberries were still good, though blackberries were low. The berries are always fresh and sweet. I love their custard pie jar and the no-sugar raspberry jam, finished it in two days! The slushies are refreshing, but the hot food is overpriced and a bit disappointing.

great location, surroundings and facility. perfect place to take your kids and grandkids for waffle and stretch your legs in great outdoors. fantastic gift shop too pies donuts gifts and more! beautiful first thing in the morning

We had the most wonderful morning/afternoon at Krause Berry Farm. And the corn pizza and raspberry waffles for lunch were 10 stars. Bought several frozen pizzas to take home, along with pounds of blueberries and strawberries! And of course I bought their beautiful cookbook! We will return to Krause Berry Farm again soon! Thank you for a lovely experience…Michelle Leone❤️

This site is incredibly well maintained and thoughtfully run. Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or just on your own, it’s a great stop for all ages. It offers a hands-on glimpse into early Canadian life. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. A must-visit if you’re exploring the area.

Wow, it was a great place to learn about Canada’s history. I was amazed this village is preserved for our next generations of Canadians… the one in the fur area was welcoming and she was amazing in explaining Canada’s history… she is awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for being so welcoming and explaining the history of how different furs impact our history….

Fort Langley National Historic Site 🇨🇦 is an absolute gem! Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time — the grounds are beautifully preserved, and the atmosphere is full of history and charm. From interactive exhibits to hands-on activities, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a fun family outing. It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and learning — a must-visit when exploring the Fraser Valley!

This is just a marvel to watch. The place has been preserved and takes to actual historic times. There's a small café that serves excellent summer beverages. We spent around 5 hours, still felt it's not enough to explore the whole place.

We absolutely enjoyed this space during our visit. Staff was friendly, helpful and the space was immaculate. And excellent way to spend a day out with the family. And I absolutely LOVED this café, I wish all Vancouver Cafés would start serving this level of healing yumminess.

Intricate stories at every stop provide a welcoming atmosphere for even the faintest of history buffs. Each building is a place bringing back a time in Canada's history in a fun, at times interactive way. Lots to see in every corner. Pull the handle on boxes to be surprised by artifacts. See what Blacksmiths, Traders, Stewards and many others used to do in a time far from the present. Live demonstrations and friendly interpreters make the experience immersive.

Visiting Fort Langley felt like traveling back in time. The well-kept historic site has interesting exhibits and helpful guides. It's a great place for history lovers and families.

This is a beautiful park with well-manicured trails, a picnic area, a playground, and plenty of open space to walk around. We visited on a weekend and it was fairly busy, so if you’re looking for total solitude you may want to choose another spot. That said, it still felt peaceful and relaxing, with lots of room to explore and enjoy the outdoors. We’d definitely come back again for another visit.

This is amazing park with many trails where you can go for a walk, jogging or cycling. There are multiple and different parking stalls on different areas. And absolutely a beautiful waterfall and lakes around the park. Many areas for pets with leash and without leash area. Other spots for a birthday party and BBQ. Don’t hesitate on visiting this place you will absolutely enjoy it.

Amazing place to walk and explore, swim at your own risk, great scenery and friendly locals . Love the falls and swim hole.

Great hiking, walking, jogging paths along the river. Beautiful and well maintained!!

Was a quick hike, absolutely beautiful in the fall. We got wet from the rain, but it was easy to get to. We will visit again and explore more of the trail another time!

Amazing and cute little park! The falls are beautiful, with the amenities of a small city park (playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, bathrooms, off-leash dog areas, etc.) but with trails that feel like you're out in the middle of the woods. Waterfalls and small creek are very charming. The pools made by the dams are picturesque. Love that the waterfalls and stone bridge is so close to the parking lot.

I visited on a sunlit afternoon and enjoyed how easy the main loop is: short paved paths lead to several small cascades and a charming stone bridge that makes for a great photo stop. Trails range from stroller-friendly to slightly rougher forest paths, so wear supportive shoes if you want to explore beyond the falls. There are picnic tables, playgrounds, and a trout hatchery that kids loved. Parking is usually fine on weekdays but fills fast on weekends, so come early for easier spots.

Sprawling paved paths around forested green swimming lake, showers to rinse off outside. There are several entrances, an expansive dog park, ample parking, and a tennis court. Very dog friendly, clean and they have a few trashcans about the trails.

Very fun Lake to take the family to. Hot days can be pretty crowded but you can usually find a small cove with privacy if you don’t want to be near crowds. It’s fun to walk around the entire lake, about 2.5 miles or so. Has some decent size hills. Also good fishing, I have not personally fished the lake but I often see people getting good catches. There are water fountains. The bathrooms get locked towards the evening. There’s a dog park along with an off leash trail. And a playground

Great spot to walk, swim, kayak, fish....ya know, all that outdoorsy stuff. Nicely maintained.

This is a very well maintained Park with a pristine and serene Lake. There are 3 entrances ( i believe) to this park, each with its own parking lot and amenities (such as bathrooms, picnic area and playground). We love the bike trail that circles the entire Lake and connects to the mountain bike trails. And yes, you're allowed to ride an E-assist bike here, but please respect the speed limit of 15 mph.

I came here specifically for fishing and while there is a dock for fishing it's dilapidated. The benches are rotted and the deck isn't much better. Tons of swimmers, kayakers, and people just enjoying their day. Seems like it would be crazy busy in June while the college is still in term.

I spent a sunny morning walking the mostly flat lakeside loop and loved how everything feels compact and easy to use. The main trail is smooth and friendly for joggers, families with strollers, and dog walkers, while short side trails climb into quieter forested spots if you want birdwatching or a bit of solitude. There’s a small boat launch and plenty of picnic space, so bring a blanket and snacks; midweek parking is easy but weekends get busy. Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer for lake breezes.

Beautiful environment, the lake and. Picnic areas are nice, the park is well worth visiting.

Stunning waterfront views, a peaceful atmosphere, and a scenic walkway right along the bay—perfect for a relaxing stroll or catching a sunset.

It's beautiful for a walk, there is a small cafe to grab your coffee and walk or jog on the bridge not very crowded, low tide and stunk.

Boulevard Park in Bellingham is truly a gem! The beautiful boardwalk along the bay offers stunning sunset views, while the open green spaces are perfect for picnics and relaxing with friends and family. There’s plenty of room for kids to play, and the trail connects easily to downtown. Watching boats, enjoying local coffee, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere make every visit special. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and appreciate Bellingham’s waterfront beauty. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

Absolutely gorgeous place to come for a walk, hang, picnic, love walking in this area!

Awesome park!

Amazing place for sightseeing, sunsets, and community. Usually my first recommendation for anyone’s first day in Bellingham.

Great place to visit for all ages & pets ! Right down the road from historic downtown Fairhaven ! Forget coffee?! No worries , they have an on site WOODS COFFEE ☕ 😊

Breathtaking views, peaceful trails, and the perfect mix of forest and beach. Every step feels like a reset for the mind. The sound of the waves, the fresh air, and the beauty all around made this a truly unforgettable day. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature, calm moments, and stunning scenery. Can’t wait to go back!

Larrabee is such a beautiful accessible park, beach, and boat launch with great views of the San Juan Islands. Wildcat Cove to Dot Island is a nice kayak trip along the sandstone shore with herons and seals to add to the enjoyment.

Larrabee State Park is one of those places you’ll want to come back to again and again. It’s Washington’s first state park, and it really has something for everyone—whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or camp. The park is very well maintained. Restrooms are clean, and there are showers available for campers, which is a huge plus if you’re staying multiple nights. Campsites are shaded by tall evergreens, and many offer privacy. Conveniently located just outside of Bellingham, the park is close enough to town that you can easily grab forgotten supplies, yet once you’re in the park you don’t hear the highway at all. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels completely tucked away in nature. Larrabee is known for its beach access—great skipping rocks, or simply relaxing by the water. The hiking trails range from easy family-friendly walks to more challenging routes, with views that are well worth the effort. Kids will especially enjoy the shaded areas and open spaces to play. The park is surrounded by trees, which provide plenty of shade and a sense of seclusion. It’s an excellent place for families, groups, or even solo travelers looking for a peaceful getaway in nature. Between the clean facilities, great hiking, beach access, and proximity to Bellingham, this park offers the perfect balance of convenience and outdoor adventure. We will definitely be returning, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

My kids, large dog and I were on our way home from a hike and saw the entrance for the park and thought it would be fun to stop and take a quick peek at the views. We were very pleasantly surprised by a wonderful park! Playground, grassy hillside area with a stage and covered area, and then you can walk down the hillside on a gravel/dirt and root path through the forest to a beach with incredible views! It was a small pebble type beach with a creek flowing down the hill and into the ocean. The water was calm and the skies were clear and the views at nearly sunset were breathtaking. My kids found rocks to climb on and little tide pools full of hermit crabs and barnacles and dubbed today the best day ever.

I normally love this state park and I have camped here a few years in a row, this time our experience was not the best. When we pulled in and got out of the car, we smelt this awful stench. I immediately thought something was rotting in our campsite. We searched the campsite high and low. I truly thought there was rotten crab somewhere. I then realized that the garbage bin was letting out the most repulsive smell ever, and the whole back half of the campground could smell it. In addition, the trail down to the beach is not kept up and lastly, the water has been overtaken by sea grass so my children couldn’t swim. The playground area was well kept up.

UPDATE: we have now come back 4 years later and it is still great! The bathrooms were really clean and the campsites were awesome. We had a great time! This time we used the trailer/ RV area and everything worked great and we had an awesome weekend! Highly recommended, but again get ready for the train noises. Camping at Larabee state park was amazing!!! We had an issue with a rude person, but the park ranger got that settled quickly and professionally. The atmosphere is beautiful, watching sunset with my love at the beach was breathtaking. The trains did come a few times, but we are locals and are pretty used to the train schedule. Our site had some drainage issues, but that is noted on the website. Our site had good privacy and the bathrooms were clean. We definitely will be coming back!! I will say, the trails are awesome and I was able to manage walking from the camp sites to the beach, even with a broken ankle.

Beautiful place ever. Definitely a great place to visit. The chucknut drive part is pretty but roads are tight. There’s plenty of bathrooms, campgrounds, camping, BBQ pits, benches, water spots for drinking. Takes about a 5 minute hike to the water to the right. Then to the left is trails for awesome view points. Down at the beach which is kind of a small one. If you go to the left there’s rocks you can easily climb to get to other side of beach area. The rocks have lots of sea life in them. Some the rocks are slippery but majority of them are not. There’s a public boat launch. Then a sign where you get cut off for the homes on the water. Lots of seashells, sea glass so much of it by the boat launch. Takes about a whole 20 minutes to walk both beaches. Such a beautiful pretty place. Lots of parking. $10 to park unless you have a pass.

A lively casino with plenty of gaming options and a fun atmosphere. The staff are professional and helpful, and the space feels modern and clean. Parking is convenient, and the location is easy to access. It can get quite busy on weekends, but overall it’s a good spot for entertainment, dining, and a night out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unfortunately, Great Canadian Casino Vancouver didn’t meet expectations. The overall vibe was downbeat, with a somewhat tired atmosphere and a crowd that didn’t help lift the mood. The table selection wasn’t great either, lacking variety and energy. The location itself isn’t particularly convenient, making access less than ideal, especially if you’re not living nearby. The one bright spot? The Gordon Ramsay Burger restaurant inside the casino. easily the best part of the visit, offering good food in contrast to the casino experience. worth visiting only for the burger, not the gaming.

This was my second time at the casino so I am a beginner but I won big! I liked the selection of slots and the service and staff were good. I won 3 jackpots off one machine and the others were decent small wins.

We have been going to this casino for a little while and was feeling alright about our experience until today. I sat down at a machine and there was a slip with about $80 on it sticking out of the beeping machine. I looked around and there wasn't anyone nearby, walking away. My boyfriend thought it was best to ask at the cash counter what the policy was. Was it possible to connect this slip to someone? The lady behind the counter eagerly took the slip from us and said the money would probably go to the casino. She seemed kind of shady with her answers. In that case I was very sorry my boyfriend had taken it out of my hands and allowed the cashier to grab what would be just more money for the casino. Chances are that it will never go to the actual owner but just go to the casino or more possibly the worker. So far I have not received a response from the casino to my email asking to clarify thier policy surrounding found money. I don't think I will be going back as I don't like throwing away my money here.

Absolutely the most poorly managed casino that I’ve ever visited. The first day of NFL football with 50 empty tables and they can’t figure out how to play the sound, so we were having to listen to horse jumping while the football game was on . 20 minutes after ordering a baileys and coffee they come and tell me that they don’t have any baileys. I walked out without spending a dime and never going back.

Don't waste your time here...go to Langley instead you might actually win something over there...this casino sucks bigtime.. they charge 30$ for a burger and fries with a fry portion meant to feed a 3 year old so after your done being ripped off gambling, you can feel ripped off on your meal also....I promise you, you will not win anything here. the RTP value in this casino is complete and udder crap...im consecutively disappointed with this place and will not be going back myself...

Guest services act like jerks to guests. I went to ask a question and the lady just talked over me the whole time. I asked if it’s common to talk over someone like that and she said “I have to go because we’re busy.” Apparently they’re too busy for customers, don’t really know who the hell they think they’re existing for. I wanted ask about staying here multiple nights, but the clerk was “too busy” so I’ll just spend my money somewhere else. Don’t waste your time. 10/2/25 8:00PM

A perfect spot for a relaxing walk with beautiful river views! River Market is such a gem in New West. Whether you're grabbing a coffee or just out for a stroll, the walkway along the Fraser River is peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. The boardwalk offers amazing views, and there's something calming about watching the tugboats and water taxis go by. Plenty of benches to sit and relax, and the market itself has a great mix of local eats and little shops. It’s a great place for families, couples, or anyone who just wants to slow down and enjoy the waterfront vibe. Highly recommend a visit — especially around sunset!

Walking through the River Market was interesting. It was not as exciting as the other places I have checked in Vancouver and none of the places really grasped my attention. However, I do like to go to that Angelina's Dutch restaurant the next time I come here. The place does have a good sight of the river from the upper balcony and stairs.

Nice market with a artsy eclectic boutique middle class vibe. Free WIFI, variety of food f drinks. Outdoor seating too and right near beside the water seawall. I come here whenever I’m in new west, or passing through on the skytrain sometimes, it’s excellent for people watching and inspiration. There is even cheap entertainment with a couple pinball and arcade games on the upper floor. Within walking distance of the skytrain even. It’s an important part of downtown New Westminster.

They have a wide variety of menu items, Nice ocean view. There was only one staff member, but everything was prepared quickly.

Nice water front area hosting a variety of eatries, grocery shop, kids entertainment, book shop etc. Overall a nice place to spend time with a walk in the picturesque riverside trail. Presently construction work is underway which restricts the movement slightly. Visit here with family and friends to have a good time.

Highly acceptable in terms of wide assortment of food items - fruits, fruit juice, soft drinks, pizza, cheese, cakes, food-desert-items, other edible & food preparation items and the like, River Market, being placed on bank of Frajer river, offers many agricultural items - fruits, vegetables & related items with fresh status & in good prices - that reflects attraction to the buyers - nature lovers - who visit here & get associated with the river, it's wide expanse of water, boats & ships moving through water, gentle breeze, warm weather, summer-being-tolerably-heated in a less humid weather, walking trail alongside flowery plants & greeneries alongside river water, flyong birds over head & water - amazingly hypnotizing view.

Has improved so much. Now have 3 wonderful game books and toys shops, many more food options. There's a good large grocery market. And the whole area around is nice for a walk along the river. Very nice artsy mall for chocolate, soaps, oils and regular stuff. On the water front so nice stop in while strolling along.

I’ve been coming to the club for around six years now, and it’s always been just good. It’s never blown my socks off and it’s never been disappointing. Service is always fantastic, and the atmosphere is gorgeous, surrounded by a fountain and green. We had the crab melt, lunch trio, and fish and chips and all of them were exactly as expected. You can get tots, salad, or choose the soup of the day. Today was the seafood chowder, and it was good. We also got the creme brûlée and Caesar salads, and the Caesar was great! Also, their tots are delicious.

We were here for Washington state for the junior golf. They only opened tee times for a very short window which made it tough to get on. We were there on a Monday and you could tell the member hated the juniors being there. We got kicked off the driving range because the staff said it was only for members. Friends that were staying at the resort left because of power outages at the resort. Probably wouldn’t come back. I guess it’s supposed to be a great place but I didn’t see it

We randomly stopped here to see what the price was. Don’t consider us hoity toity golf folk. We were staying at the Resort, and with the discount, plus having to rent clubs and a cart, the price was totally right. My guy played the front nine, and I drove the cart and caddied. The course was scenic, even for a cloudy fall day. I love that they have so many tee options - Orange tee box, I am talking to you, friend. We were practically alone on the course. Next time we will bring the clubs and both play the full 18. We got great service from the Pro Shop folks - recommend.

The course doesn't have much elevation change, but the fairways are full of interesting bumps and rolls. Greens were well groomed and surprisingly challenging. Very pleasant course and clubhouse overall.

We went here for lunch last Saturday. We had a seminar at the resort and I wanted to play golf, but unfortunately didn't have time. But we only had 90 minutes for lunch and it takes 10 minutes to drive here from the resort. The staff at the restaurant were AWESOME and efficient! Had wings and Halibut fish and chips. Food and service was EXCELLENT and FAST. We got done in time to walk around for a few minutes and get back to our seminar. Highly recommend the food/service/people working here! Hoping to come back and play golf in the future as it's an Arnold Palmer design. : )

This is a good course, I really enjoyed the game my son and I played here.

Good wholesome food is served, menu items to change varying on the season.

We had a wonderful time camping at Birch Bay State Park over the Fourth of July weekend! The campground was clean, peaceful, and perfect for families. One of the most memorable moments was celebrating the holiday by the beach—watching the full moon rise while the kids played with glow toys under the stars. The sky was absolutely stunning, and the beach atmosphere felt festive and magical. It was a relaxing and fun experience for all ages. We’ll definitely be coming back!

This is a beautiful park with spacious campsites and large trees. There are not very many hikes. This is more of a place you go with your family while frequenting the nearby beaches and playgrounds. The bathrooms were clean, and there were ample showers. Plus we saw bald eagles several times!

Stayed for 2 nights at Birch Bay State Park. They keep 1/2 the camping spots open in the odd season but there was plenty of room when I cam in for a spot late afternoon. The pulllouts are large and easy to park with fairly level driveways. Good access to the beach and lots of areas to walk. There is a general store about a 10 minute walk away that has anything you may have forgot.

Nice campsites that have good places to pitch a tent. The bathrooms in the 1st loop were very nice and were warm. There is not much privacy between campsites, which didn't bother me, but could be an issue for some.

Love this área. A go-to for a relaxed Sunday drive. Beautiful nature and a nice picnic and campground. Full amenity. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent time at Birch Bay State Park. There is a beautiful long stretch of beach so even when it is crowded, you can find spot to hunker down. Picnic tables with barbecues are everywhere. The campground is very well maintained. The campsites are spacious and tucked into the woods.

Nice view and people. Most people are so friendly. You can see the sunset. If you come at night, you can feel the private beach, all yours…

Awesome totem poles that are free to view and take pictures. They have a boundary, so no one is permitted to go directly in contact with these statues. As a result, they're well kept and maintained here. There is a parking lot and a gift shop nearby. Lots of warning signs around the area about wild animals. Wide and clear walkways and paths to go on. It wasn't busy at all when we visited on a weekend afternoon. I recommend coming to see the Brockton Point Totem pole amongst other landmarks at Stanley park. It makes for a great walk along the coast line to see Vancouver!

Important point in Stanley park. There are public washrooms and a store near this point.

Read the signs that tell the story behind each Pole

One Brockin Rockin Totem Pole point

Good totem poles

Not the best

(Translated by Google) Very pretty, it’s a shame that the explanations of the meanings of each totem are erased. (Original) Très joli, dommage que les explications des significations de chaque totem s’effacent.

We recently drove through Moran State Park to check it out for future visits, and it’s absolutely beautiful! The park sits right along the water and is incredibly lush and scenic. While there are no electrical hookups (which means we wouldn’t bring our RV), it’s perfect for tent camping or bringing our truck. We like to scope out parks ahead of time, and this one offers plenty of great sites to choose from, with four different camping areas. The park also has an awesome spot where you can rent kayaks and canoes, plus a designated swimming area with a beach. There are lots of amenities, and the restrooms were clean and well-kept throughout the park. A couple of tips: definitely book your campsite well in advance since this is a popular state park, and don’t forget to reserve your ferry tickets to Orcas Island both ways—especially on weekends, as the waits can be long. We’ll definitely be coming back here for camping and exploring more of what this amazing park has to offer!

A beautiful park with camping amenities. Also has a nice kayak rental place on Cascade lake. Check out Mount Constitution for a beautiful view spanning from Stanwood to Blaine and beyond on clearer days.

I’m an Orcas resident, since 2014 — Moran embodies my sense of Orcas. We humans are the visitors in this natural setting where deer, birds, and critters of many types THRIVE. PLEASE be EASY and QUIET without leaving garbage so that we humans do not harm or disrupt. If you’ve read this far I will share a locally known very special place. Just before entering the park from the north, Rosario Rd goes Right, West. If you take it, in ~1/2 mile Palisades Dr. goes off downhill to the left. to a parking lot on the edge of the park. Park there and follow the trail at the edge of the parking lot ~1/4 mile to the right to a magnificent lagoon. Many people hang there by a prominent rock dabbling their toes in the shallow water and swimming. Another 1/4 mile along the path takes one to the wonderful bridge that is visible from the main Cascade Lake picnic area across the lake. My pics taken from the lagoon in May 2025.

An absolute favorite for good ole woods on the lake camping! Campgrounds have so much variety in shade, waterfront options, RV hookups, walk-in, and group sites. Their bathrooms and showers are well maintained, and the public use areas are always kept up as well. They staff a little snack shack where you can find limited swim gear and accessories, plus impressive snacks, coffee, ice cream, candy, etc. The lake is a non-motorized boat lake, but they rent out water toys or bring your own float islands and paddleboards. Mt. Constitution is also found within the park and is a must visit! Views into Canada and over the WA coast are to die for on a clear day. Whether you're visiting just for the day or longer, Moran State Park is an oasis worth experiencing!

Beautiful park with lots to do! You have the lake below Mount Constitution with rentals and food and a beach like atmosphere. You can go out Mount Constitution for trails or a big bike slog uphill. The views from the top of Mount Constitution are lovely. The whole area is great and it’s easy enough to ride an e-bike on the hills that go up and down.

We did the full Mt. Constitution hike loop: Cascade Lake, Powerline Trail, around the back to Twin Lakes, then up to the summit and back down. 10 miles, 3200 vertical. Had it to ourselves. Fantastic.

Tranquility. Great trails for all ages. Short hikes and longer hikes available. Cool falls.

Bistro at Buck Bay, Orcas Island.(aka Buck Bay Shellfish Farm) Had a great dinner at the Bistro at Buck Bay on Orcas Island. This unassuming local favorite sits right at the water’s edge on a hill. You place your order and then sit outside in one of two large, covered areas and they bring your order out to you. We enjoyed a cross sample of their menu including Buck Bay Steamer Clams, Salmon Fish N’ Chips, House Green Salad, Pork BBQ ribs and Shrimp Alfredo. The clams were succulent in a great white wine broth, the salmon was a surprise knock-out cooked to perfection, the salad crisp and perfect, the ribs were tender and nicely smoked, and the shrimp Alfredo was good.

Really popular location in the middle of nowhere. It’s got quite a lovely scenery from their outdoor seating between the tented area or seating below a big willow tree. However I’m unimpressed by the flavor of the food as most of it lacked major flavor. I’ve had creamier chowder in any other seafood place in Seattle and the Clam Linguine was so basic it I regret paying $30 for it. The oysters are pretty fresh for the summer seasons so no complaints there. Expect expensive food prices here. Everything is in the mid $20-30 range minimum. And if you are here looking for flavorful seafood food, don’t be. You are better off getting everything fried.

Absolute gem of a place to eat at. Lovely fresh menu, reasonable prices, lots of outdoor seating and covered options, beautiful water view. Shellfish brought in just steps away. Staff was very friendly too. We had steamer clams, taco trio and the halibut sandwich. All were delicious. Much better than the overpriced places on Eastsound.

Buck Bay Shellfish Farm is EXACTLY what you're expecting. A great spot to get great food. We had a dozen oysters. I had the salmon fish and chips, which was positively scrumptious! Go here. Enjoy!

Eating fresh (and omg *do not sleep* on the grilled) oysters while overlooking the bay from which they were plucked and shucked is insanely delicious. Seasonal, local cider was great pairing. We did not get the island roll but we saw a table that did and it looked amazing. gigantic!

By far one of the best places to eat on the islands. Before you go make sure you check to see if they are open. All outdoor seating, no cell service! Seafood, bbq and you can grab food to go! Worth the drive and stop

Bought a gorgeous halibut filet here and bbqed it at our outdoor air bnb oasis. They even packed it on ice to stay good on our bike ride back towards Orcas. When we rolled up on our bikes the place was poppin, lots of visitors and delicious smelling food being served!
