The best experience in Tk’emlúps. Sharing an important history that we must never forget. Thank you.

Jackie gave our group one of the best tours we’ve been on. Educational, insightful, meaningful and filled with passion, we are so grateful for our time with Jackie. Thank you Jackie for answering all our questions. Highly Recommend going on a guided tour!

Very interesting exhibition in two galleries with a third one to come (was under construction). One can see the passion and effort going into this museum of Secwépemc history and culture. It's worth a visit for sure.

Very much enjoyed this museum. Two smallish galleries with a third opening very soon. I would definitely go back once that opens as it will be focussed specifically on the residential school. The existing galleries are more specially about pre-contact history. I think it is so important to become knowledgeable about all of this history. I recommend making this museum part of your stay in Kamloops.

Very poor museum... Not worth a dollar... Two small rooms with few items. We were the only visitors and none of the ten people there offered any explanation. And cherry on top of the cake, they managed to drill some holes in the wall while we were there.... Too expensive for what it is... Not to be recommended

A really lovely museum about the culture and way of living of the Secwepemc. The display is great and with a lot of explanations. The 3rd room is all about the time where kids were brought to schools and taken from their families. Which is very sad to read but good explained as well. We really loved this museum!

Enjoyed this museum a lot. Beautiful displays and stories sharing precontact and postcontact events, including the horror of residential schools.

Visited in September. BC Wildlife Park was a sweet and memorable stop. Loved seeing the rescued animals—they looked safe and well cared for, which was really heartwarming. Owl Talk was a definite highlight! Getting up close to such a beautiful bird was amazing. The observation hive was super cool too. The spirit bear is the standout, but no luck spotting it this time. Still, a lovely visit overall.

We had such an amazing time at BC Wildlife Park. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Unfortunately, we missed the train ride, but there was still so much to see and enjoy. The park is very family-friendly, with great facilities for all ages. One highlight for me was seeing the cougar laying right at the gate, such a beautiful moment! Also, I absolutely loved the honey in the gift shop definitely worth picking up a jar.

We absolutely love the place. They only have rescued animals and the have signs telling you the story of each animal plus really interesting facts about that animal species. We went in a hot sunny summer day so recommend to bring a hat and a ton of sun screen. The splash zone they have was a blast that gave us some relief from the hot weather. We were able to see so many animals (recommend checking the feeding schedule), we love the bears they have in particular the white one which is only found in BC. They have some timings for you to go a pet some goats and sheep they have, they even provide brushes which are like a spa for the animals, they love to be pet and are super friendly and cute

A bit disappointed by the facilities. Needs renovations. The train 🚂 was not running unfortunately. Off season prices too expensive. When we arrived at 10:30am there was almost no animals out it felt very strange, like an abandoned old zoo. Later on we saw more but some of the cages were not looking very clean. The birds section was great. It is nice to have the story of the rescue of each animal. They definitely should replace most of the fences by glasses. Not that much of “wild” animal.

Visited BC Wildlife Park on Canada Day, and despite the hot weather, we had a wonderful time. We got to see a variety of animals, including the bear, which was a highlight. Though not as many animals as you'd expect from a zoo since this is wildlife refuge. The little train ride was a fun and relaxing way to explore the park, especially for kids. One of the best features on a hot day was the water sprinklers, the kids had a blast cooling off and running through them. The park is well laid out with shaded areas and great for families. A fun, educational, and refreshing day out, highly recommended!

This is such an extraordinary place to go. There's a vast amount of things to learn, and Animals to see. It took about an hour to walk around the park, but was very easy for me even with a bad hip. The grizzlys were super interactive as well. Definitely worth the drive. I'll be coming back with my kids.

We visited late on a hot July afternoon and only had 1.5 hrs to tour. As expected, it was hit and miss with seeing the animals in their enclosures, and at that time of day we had the park pretty much to ourselves. That said, everything appeared to be well laid out, well signed, and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the birds of prey exhibit, and noted there is a family farm where visitors can interact with farm animals. Judging from the sandwich board sign of the day’s activities it is better to arrive in the morning to take advantage of feedings and demonstrations.

We were visiting family in Sun Peaks who been dog sledding last year and loved it. We went on the hour long tour and can say it was the highlight of our holiday. Chris collected us from the village and drove us up to the base. All of the dogs are clearly loved and well cared for and enjoy their work pulling the sleds. We had time to meet and stroke our sled team before the tour and then afterwards time to stroke all the dogs and meet the amazing litter of puppies - just adorable!! Travelling through the forest was simply breathtaking and we stopped at the lake for photos. Our guides Tempe and Andrew were friendly, informative and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this experience - thank you all so much for such a special and unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable Dog Sledding Adventure at Sun Peaks– A Must-Do Experience! From start to finish, this dog sledding experience was nothing short of magical! The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a team of energetic, well-cared-for huskies and knowledgeable guides who made us feel welcome and excited for the journey ahead. The sled ride itself was absolutely breathtaking—gliding through a pristine winter wonderland, surrounded by snow-covered trees and crisp mountain air, was like something out of a dream. The dogs were incredible, full of enthusiasm and strength, and it was heartwarming to see how much they love running. What truly stood out was the opportunity to interact with the dogs! Thanks so much for the experience!

We had amazing experience with Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures. Taryn made a last minute booking very easy. Chris was very friendly and knowledgeable. Liam made our sled ride enjoyable. The scenery was magnificent. But it’s the dogs that steal the show. They clearly love being on the trail and there was plenty of time to interact with them after. Meeting the puppies was also a highlight. We would recommend the experience. Chris and his team clearly love the dogs and the experiences they create for guests.

Joe took us on a fun Jeep tour through the Sun Peaks mountain range, including to McGillivray Lake, and a couple other lake spots. It was beautiful scenery the whole time, and we saw some wildlife on the drive! Joe is very knowledgeable about the area and can answer all your questions. And we appreciate Taryn's help to book us specially before the official tourism season begins - thank you!

Our dog sled expedition was absolutely incredible! The dogs were well-trained and full of energy, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The stunning winter landscapes made the ride feel like something out of a dream. Everything was well-organized. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in the snow! 💯💯💯

We had the amazing experience of dog sledding with Chris and Tarin from Mountain Man Adventure Tours in Sun Peaks. Under the guidance of Liam we sledded through the most spectacular mountains with picture perfect views. The dogs are extremely friendly and love what they do - running! Thanks for this once in a life time experience. 🥰🇨🇦

I booked the ‘ Into the Wild Dog Sled Tour’ for a unique birthday experience. This was a great experience! The dogs are so friendly and love what they do! The owners are really passionate about their dogs and ensure they are healthy and well looked after. A great company and experience overall!

The road into the west campground is horrendous and needs to be fixed. Plus the boat launch is ridiculously shallow and needs some TLC. Love the lake if that's any consolation.

Very nice spot. Peaceful. Serene. Only complaint is sites are not very level. But overall amazing spot.

Friendly staff, and the restaurant has good food. Lovely lake, great fishing. Their tap/drinking water comes from the lake, and tastes of fish and swamp. The coffee and tea are affected as well. Next visit I will bring more of my own water!

Best fishing lake in BC. You need a boat because there are few places to wade and trees stop you from shore casting. In May/June you can't miss with trolls, flys, or bait. Provincial sites are fine and they have a nice boat launch but it is way better if you can get into one of the sites at the resort. $30/night/site gives you a pool, store, hot showers. Great quad trails nearby and lots of smaller lakes to explore. I do a week every year plus a couple of weekends if I can make it work.

Wonderful facilities and fishing. UPDATE: Park Operators, Barry and Paul, are excellent for the 2023 season. I have never seen the park look so well kept, have been attending Roche Provincial for 15+ years.

My favorite medium sized lake in BC. So many amazing fishing trips here. For me it really is a World Class Fly Fishing Lake!! The sites do not get raked and the fire pits do not get emptied. When I PAY for a site I like it to start like I leave it...... CLEAN. With that said there is toilet paper in the outhouses and they pick up the bear proof garbage and your money without fail.

Some of the best lakes in the region for fly fishing. Roche, Black, Horseshoe, all fished very well, but Frisken was slow and high algae bloom with few fish this season. Large open campsites, but very busy. Resort is nice with reasonably good food in their restaurant, and lots of boats to rent.

The Monte Creek winery has a wonderful tasting room. The big glass windows really give it a nice atmosphere. The grounds are well manicured. The outdoor patio is a good size. Friendly and pleasant staff.

Awesome wines, beautiful views, and the food totally hit the spot. Everyone on the staff was friendly and made the whole experience even better. A good place to hang out with friends during summer time.

Mmmm, the wine, oh the wine! 4 healthy samples of your choice and a charcuterie board. We ended up taking 4 bottles home. Great selections and all flavourful and tasty. No bombs in our selection and some great stories behind them! Ask about “hands up” and you’ll see a movie in the making.

Great place that you might miss if you're not paying attention. Superb collection of local wines, and the food at the restaurant is excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to make your visit a wonderful experience.

Plan your wedding here! Not only was it the absolute best spot for an knockout view, the shaded trees and stunning lawn made for a incredible setting for our wedding ceremony! Coordinating with the Event team was a breeze and every detail was taken care of. Our guests enjoyed a perfect afternoon and I couldn't ask for anything more!

I recently had my wedding ceremony at Monte Creek Winery and it was wonderful! They've had some turnover in event coordinators so I worked with a few different people throughout the planning process but they were all very helpful, responsive, and flexible with figuring out all the little details. The wedding was beautiful and everyone loved the wine selections for the cocktail hour. The Living Land Sparkling Rosé in particular was a big hit!

Went to the wine club pick up party last night. Have to say the staff and catering company did an amazing job. Amazing food by Sage & Plate and very friendly and courteous staff. And of course amazing wine. Great job Monte Creek Winery. Another happy member.

We saw lots of Chinook salmon today. More then I've ever seen in the river. No Sockeye though. They probably arrive later. The lady at the information booth was very friendly and helpful.

Cool place...

Very beautiful place to go for a walk with family and friends. Go and observe the salmon in the river

Wonderful trail, bathrooms available and a nice hike up the Adams River Gorge

Wonderful place to go. Great Volunteers

Very nice..even in the winter time

Such a beautiful place to visit!

It was an awesome experience! Perfect run for it being my first time on a white water raft, and the kids loved it. Dakota and the crew did a fantastic job! Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I went rafting with this company and had an absolutely amazing time! They truly do an incredible job. It was my first time ever going rafting, and I couldn’t have picked a better experience. The river was perfect for beginners; fun, friendly and not overwhelming but definitely not boring either. Bruce and Matt added just the right touch of spice to make it exciting without ever making us feel unsafe. They clearly love what they do and it shows. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a mix of fun, adventure, and great vibes!

We had such an amazing time with Adam’s River Rafting! Our guide, Josh, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and had fun the whole trip. I went with my mom, my two kids, and my two nieces, and it was the perfect mix of excitement and laughs for all ages. The scenery was gorgeous, the water was refreshing, and Josh kept the energy high while pointing out interesting sights along the way. This was such a memorable family experience, and we can’t wait to come back next summer! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure.

We had a group of 11 and were celebrating a birthday. What an amazing experience! Guides were fabulous and the pictures they captured were epic! Josh and Matt were great. They were full of knowledge and ensured everyone had a blast. Highly recommend this!

World class adventure , we are a family sitting on the front me I’m white my wife is Filipino at front and our son Daniel is 9 he is sitting front center. Professional safety standards the guide Bruce was amazing. Class 3 rapids was phenomenal. Learn rapids and have fun!

Josh, our guide was awesome. And Dave our bus driver was great and took some great photos. The rafting experience was totally awesome. We did a little cliff diving, swam in the rapids, got some great waves. It was well worth the time. Thank you Adams River Rafting crew.

Absolute blast with the family. The river is super warm for Canada and this is pretty tame compared to the Kicking Horse or other more intense options, so excellent for anyone that might be a bit apprehensive. Totally safe for kids and older folks. But it was super fun, there's time to swim, jumping off a little cliff, and even some first nations history. Good outfit. My kids loved it.

Great little spot for a paddle. A fisherman was coming in with a nice catch and a family was swimming when we arrived at the day use area. Saw lots of different birds. Plenty of room for multiple vehicles. There's a pit toilet across the road from the lake.

We went to pillar lake to go kayaking. Our group included kids as young as 5 years old. Great kayak lake. While kayaking, we saw turtles resting on logs. Only caught a couple fish. Small pullover on side of road near resort. Not very far from Falkland.

Gorgeous fishing lake Good boat launch Fin hike up to the hoodoo( pillar

Beautiful little fishing lake with a small boat launch. Hiking up to the pillar was also short but steep, totally worth it!

Small lake, moody fishing but when you hit it, it's great. Kokanee and bows. Cabins look great at the resort.

Beautiful little lake. Well stocked so the fishing is usually decent. I always like going here. And the hiking trail to the pillar is great. Some challenging spots for the beginner.

It's so beautiful, and the hike to the pillar is short. But it was a bit steep and scary for me on the way down. As for facilities, there is an outhouse, but being your own TP. And a small parking lot on the other side of the highway from the pillar hike.

The Wharf in Salmon Arm is an absolute treasure and truly one of the highlights of the area. Walking along this beautifully maintained wooden boardwalk, stretching gracefully over the calm waters of Shuswap Lake, is a serene and unforgettable experience. The gentle sway of the dock, the sound of the water beneath, and the panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains make it a perfect escape from the busy world. It’s the longest wooden wharf in North America, and every step offers something magical, whether it’s watching birds flying low over the water, catching the colors of the sky reflecting off the lake, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The wharf is clean, safe, and a wonderful spot for a casual walk, photography, or just sitting quietly to enjoy the view. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is a must-visit in Salmon Arm. It’s one of those places that instantly calms your mind and leaves you with lasting memories.

It's one of my favorite places in Salmon Arm. In the heart of Salmon Arm take a boardwalk stroll on the longest curved inland wharf in North America. The wharf is a great place to watch the local wildlife and take in the beautiful Shuswap Lake. Perfect plan to clear your mind and get some fresh air. This is such a beautiful location. I really recommend this place.

The Salmon Arm wharf was gorgeous. We went on BC Day, so it was pretty chill. We walked through downtown, but most stores were closed for the holiday. Which was actually kinda nice, lots of parking, and we window-shopped...lol. Some small restaurants were open. The buildings and planter boxes were beautiful and worth the walk. If you need a washroom, Askew grocery store has one! Askews was super cute and had lots of cool stuff, like organic products. I totally recommend walking around downtown Salmon Arm and down to the waterfront. It was a great day with beautiful surroundings!

A beautiful and peaceful lakeside walk! Visited Salmon Arm Wharf for the first time and absolutely loved it. The views of Shuswap Lake are stunning, especially at sunset, and the boardwalk is clean, spacious, and easy to walk. It’s the longest wooden wharf in North America, a great spot for photos, birdwatching (saw lots of Western Grebes), or just enjoying the calm. The nearby park adds to the relaxing vibe, with plenty of space to sit and take in the scenery. A must-visit if you're in the area — peaceful, scenic, and full of charm.

This is a gorgeous pier to go on a walk at and admire the sights. When I came, it was not busy at all. I wish I knew about this area sooner, so could have come more often.

Salmon Arm Wharf: A Scenic Haven for Dining and Wildlife On Friday, August 15, 2025, my girlfriend and I enjoyed a delightful visit to Salmon Arm Wharf, a highlight of British Columbia’s Shuswap region. Seeking a picturesque spot to enjoy our lunch by the water, we found the wharf’s picnic tables to be clean, inviting, and perfectly positioned for a relaxing meal. As we savored our food, the expansive views of Shuswap Lake on a clear, sunny day were nothing short of breathtaking, with the serene waters framed by the distant Coastal Mountains, including the majestic Mount Ida. The wharf, stretching 440 feet and proudly holding the title of North America’s longest freshwater wooden wharf, offers a unique vantage point for visitors. Constructed in 1907 to navigate the lake’s mudflats, it has evolved into a beloved attraction for both locals and tourists. During our visit, we were charmed by the local wildlife, with friendly ducks waddling nearby and a graceful great blue heron patrolling the shoreline. In the distance, bald eagles soared, adding to the natural spectacle. The wharf is a renowned birdwatching hotspot, with over 278 documented species, including ospreys, western grebes, and swans, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The adjacent Marine Peace Park enhances the experience with well-maintained grounds, additional picnic areas, and benches ideal for soaking in the views. For those planning a visit, the wharf is easily accessible, though parking near the roundabout can be tricky during peak times—arrive early to secure a spot, with one hour of free parking available before fees apply. Summer visitors can enjoy “Wednesdays on the Wharf,” a lively event featuring live music at the park’s bandstand, perfect for pairing with a picnic or a meal at the nearby Prestige Inn patio. A concession stand at the wharf’s end offers snacks like fresh sorbet, and watercraft rentals are available for those eager to explore the lake. Tips for Visitors: Bring binoculars for optimal birdwatching, as herons, eagles, and other species are abundant but sometimes distant. A light jacket is wise, as lake breezes can be cool even on sunny days. For a quieter experience, visit in the morning to avoid crowds. Note that dogs must be leashed to protect sensitive wildlife habitats. Salmon Arm Wharf is a must-visit for anyone seeking a blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and tranquility. Whether you’re enjoying a picnic, strolling the historic pier, or spotting bald eagles, this destination delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it to couples, families, and nature lovers looking to create lasting memories in the heart of the Shuswap!

Visit : July 3,2025 The walk there was amazing especially in good weather. There is a small takeout caffe or restaurant at the end of the Wharf which provides good food for reasonable prices. Huge paid parking available around the Wharf and if you’re in Salmon Arm then you must visit the Wharf.

I’ve been to this hospital on many occasions and generally have had an alright experience. The nurses are wonderful! Today, however, was the 2nd time in a week that I have been in for throwing up blood (among other symptoms), the nurses were very clearly concerned about my well-being. The doctor, however, was very clearly in a rush. Literally ran in the room, spoke over me, didn’t listen to a word I said. Essentially told me to go see my family doctor and left. The absolute worst doctor experience I have ever had. I cried the entire way home. I’ve been having a TON of health related issues and have really been struggling. The nurses were so understanding and I could tell they were genuinely worried about me. The female doctor on staff today could not have cared less. I understand they are busy, but the least they can do is actually listen to what you’re saying after you’ve been sitting there for hours. The worst part is she claimed my bloodwork was all “completely fine”, but since getting home and looking at my results online, it seems there are a few abnormalities that could point to some serious issues. Definitely won’t be going back.

I needed antibiotic IV treatment from Friday until Tuesday over the August long weekend. The emergency department was slammed with ambulances & folks coming in needing urgent help. Sitting and watching the staff work through the full waiting rooms was really admirable. The doctors and nurses deserve all the credit in the world! They also deserve more understanding and empathy from patients in my opinion. Great job staff! You should be proud of all you do to help Salmon Arm in emergency situations! Thank you for all your help over the weekend, I truly appreciate it! Keep up the great work!

This hospital is very under staffed and because of that they are unorganized and unprofessional. They lost my father in-law in his own room and he missed his surgery. They then transferred him to another hospital without notifing family members, they were unable to even know where they sent him. We had to call hospitals in the area to find which ICU unit he was in. Run away from this hospital before you become a "salmon arm special" from their operating room. ☆☆☆Formal complaint has been submitted and elevated to executive level already.☆☆☆

TERRIBLE! this hospital has to be the worst one i’ve ever been too . Me and my boyfriend went two times first time we had to leave as we waited for 6 hrs and got no medical attention and i had to bandage him at home . And second time we waited at triage for 20 min before the lady even opened the window and attended to us . If i could give this hospital a zero star i would for staff and attentiveness. Terrible terrible .

My Familydoctor send me to the Hospital. I meet Dr. Gretchen Snyders, she was so lovely and so nice. I hope she will there more offen.

Worst place for any medical help, takes 4 to 5 hours as always to get helped by a nurse. Really worst place to be at if your Really sick and need help fast, they gonna make you wait for hours. This place is very understaffed and staff is very unprofessional and unorganized.

Had 3 ultrasounds here whilst pregnant with my second child. The techs and staff were so friendly and informative.

Great place for learning and fun for the entire family. Nice restaurant with good homemade bread and soups. Very helpful staff and clean bathrooms. So much to see and kids love the kids museum!! Gold panning was fun for all!

Great place to tour old buildings, relax in the gardens and go to the restaurant. It took us about 2 hours to go through all the buildings on site. After we went to the restaurant on site. Wasn’t too pleased with the meal. We got the salmon and vegetables which was the menu special which was $20. Very tasty but serving was small for the price. Also ordered the harvest sandwich which comes with ham and chicken with tomato and cheese and lettuce. The ham was not ready so substituted with roasted beef. The bread was a tad dry and was falling apart. Not happy with the overall meal. I gave a 5 star rating as the village was great but would give a 3 star for the restaurant

What a fun stop to make in Salmon arm, very kid friendly and welcoming. We got a village tour and tour of the heritage Haney house. We enjoyed the Spring of Heather tea garden as well

We went to the Cowboy Campfire Show with Rob Dinwoodie, Kevin, Dixon and the Cowboy poet and author Ken Mather. A great experience for all. They had everyone involved from the steer roping to singing. Such a perfect venue for evenings like that. I hope that they will be back next year. On top of all of that, the hamburgers were very tasty. Thanks so much to everyone.

Fantastic museum/heritage site/ghost town. My 8 and 3 year old had a fantastic time seeing all the old buildings and artifacts. We took one of the tours of the town and the guide was knowledgeable, my family really enjoyed it. Everything was extremely clean and well kept. We’ve been to Salmon Arm many times and I wish someone would have told us about this sooner. If you enjoy the Three Valley Gap Ghost town, this should be added too your holiday itinerary.

We attended the Murder Mystery Wedding Edition. It was so much fun. Moving from scene to scene was different than normal plays and much nicer than just sitting in one place for the whole show. The actors were great and did a good job. The meal was wonderful and plentiful. We sure would go to another of these.

We had our wedding ceremony at R.J. Haney Heritage Village this fall and we could not have been happier with the venue. Tara was great to work with and got back to our questions quickly and always had answers. She was accommodating with our vision and worked with us to set up exactly what we wanted. Tara showed us multiple places we could perform the ceremony and when we picked one, she was able to organize what we were hoping for. The added benefit of set up and take down was so helpful to alleviate stress on the day and she they let us show up as early as we needed for rehearsal and on the day. The grounds were flawless and beautiful allowing so many great photos and our guests loved walking around the houses and buildings when my wife and I were busy. Everyone said how unique and beautiful our location was. I could not recommend R.J. Haney Heritage Village, Tara, and the rest of the people who helped out enough.

Beautiful venue! We went there for a fundraiser/barn dance and had a wonderful time!! The band, Barney Bentall, Dustin Bentall and Trixie Bentall were outstanding, as usual. They played a 90 minute set of original music and some hits. They also stayed and played some fiddle music for the barn dance! The event was really well organized. Refreshments for purchase included non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, smokies and vegetarian smokies, and peach and blueberry pies.

I have to say that this summers show is absolutely BRILLIANT and hilarious...worth every moment to make the trip to Armstrong and see this show it is fun for all ages and takes Shakespeare to a whole new level. Excellent performance and exquisite use of current and music from different generations.THIS IS A MUST SEE THIS YEAR...there will be no regrets for this experience...and it truly is an experience. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Thank YOU Caravan for continuing to do such amazing work...Make this one of your summer plans and support such an amazing art. Myles

Cant speak for any other events they do, but the halloween walk with the mp3 players was incredibly boring. I find it hard to feel immersed with a pair of headphones on, you must go at a set pace which is up to interpretation, and the actors are not dynamic. They do the same thing in the same spot all night. Cool if youre 5 years old, thats about it.

Very well done, superb talent and production. I've been to several shows, always a great time. We're very lucky to have such a high quality, unique experience in our area. If you've never gone, you have to try it - you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended

Just no don't waste your money or your time, did the Halloween walk "labyrinth"... with headphone and an MP3 player. Walking at a pace that is up for interpretation. So nothing you were listening to made any sense. The people in front of us kept stopping to kiss and do whatever it was they were doing. First 5 to ten minutes you walk across an empty field. Then up into the edge of the forest. Bright white lights pointing into your face then some red ones I think we seen 5 maybe six actors at best. Not scary at all. I think maybe a young child might enjoy it. Its expensive and just not worth it.

Did the Labryinth Halloween walk and it was very underwhelming for the price. Nothing jumping out at you, nothing overly scary. The audio was alright but still not worth over $100.00 for two of us. We only saw about 4 actors throughout the 3km walk and didn’t jump once. This was our first time here and don’t think we’ll be back.

I usually go each year for the Walk Of Terror at Halloween. Its a great experience, really well done and well put together. This year's theme Labrinth did not disappoint.

This campground offers lakeside campsites, playground, showers, and nice walking paths. Really enjoyed our 2 week stay, we were in campsite 1 which was an amazing site! The trick here is to get a lakeside site and NOT one in the open field which are hot and buggy. Nice walking trails lots of beach space to spread out. Campsites hosts and operator are friendly and helpful. Try for sites: 1-12 or 63-77 (lakeside). Great dog beach.

4.5 stars! This is a very large campsite with over 2km of beach access. Washrooms, dishwashing stations, shower houses, potable water, boat launch, shallow swimming areas for kids, playground, some hiking trails, tent and trailer sites, group sites, historic buildings. For more adventurous people there is a lighthouse that you can climb up and jump off of into the water. Our only warning is wind if you are tenting in the open field. You must put support string/rope and tie them to something or stake them down into the dirt! A lot of wasps. Experienced campers all had screened canopies.

First it would be good to have a separate entry just for the campground, since the campground does not encloses the whole provincial park, but just a part at the beach front. There are three areas. The official campground including washrooms and showers. A group campground with two bigger huts. And an overflow campground with only simple sanitation facilities. State end of July 24, there are no electrified or water accessed slots available. Lots have their own generators, while there are defined hours for their usage. The beach is rather narrow but provides enough space for the residents. It faces east. Hence lot of morning sun, after noon shadow from the trees behind. Showers are for free. Washrooms are clean. Sanidump available but costs 5D per dump (coins needed). This should be included for residents. No laundry. Nice little playground for kids in the back, but not much shadow during the day.

Amazing and beautiful park. Well maintained. Camping site with registration. Day use area. And beach to spend time. Boat launch pad is well maintained and very clean place for camping woth family.

This is one of the shorter hikes to be found in this area. However, it is visually spectacular and physically intense. Be prepared for many, many stairs! One of our favourite places to visit. It is a bit of a drive from Kelowna, but well worth it. The drive is scenic and relaxing. There are other hikes to experience along the way as well! Be sure to give it a try if you’re looking for a quick, unique hike!

Wonderful, well run campground. Lovely beachside with two swimming areas and a large, easily accessible dog beach in the middle. Great heated showers and mostly flush toilets. Fantastic playground for kids. There is a strong breeze sometimes from the southwest so be prepared if you are in an exposed site. Loop 1 is the most shaded and loop 2 is varied but right beside dog beach. Loops 3 - 5 are the newest with some smaller trees but the best shower block. Level area so great for easy cycling and walking.

Loved this campground! Lots of large campsites and mostly private. Some have less shade. Lots of crickets. Easy walk to the beach from all sites. Lots of history walls with the manor to the old barns. Beautiful views of waterfall. Definitely bring bug spray for the hour of sun to shade. Will be coming back for sure.

On the plus side, the views are spectacular, staff are nice. Siting on the deck is magnificent, to various spots on the course the view of Mara Lake are outstanding. On the golf side, not quite so nice. Course carved into a side of the hill, shots hit down the middle will roll off course into the cart path...or worse...down a significant hill. You shouldn't be penalized for a straight golf shot. Too many gimmicky holes for my liking. We played 4 different courses in Salmon Arm area, and when we mentioned to course locals we played Mara Hills, the responses were unanimous. "We either got there once a year, or I've played that once and no need to go back." I don't see the urge to return here.

It’s such a beautiful course with gorgeous view from top of the hill and so much fun to play. We will definitely come back to play .

Always love my trips to this course. Another 'must play' course if you're in the Okanagan. Who doesn't want to play from the elevated tee at the hole called Geronimo!

Great location and decent enough course, but website shows your cost for round and then when you get to the course, you are charged for a mandatory cart.. which are expensive carts for what you get. I think almost $50 for the 2 players? Why not just have an all inclusive price for the round of golf, if carts are mandatory??? Old carts, faced to sign a waver before heading out. The brakes on the carts were a disgrace, and for this particular course.. believe me.. you need to have good brakes.. just something to consider, if you value your life…. 😬 Beautiful patio.. best in the area.

Honestly we got a preferred rate today.. and it was almost reasonable. But I would not pay full pop green fees here. The views are spectacular, but much work needs to be done here. This golf course was bought out recently by a corporation, and changed hands from family owned. You can definitely tell the difference. I will make some accommodation for the fact that getting people to work at a course doing labour is hard, but, 1 The sand in the bunkers is terrible and needs replaced. 2 The cart paths are horrible, and far too steep, gravel needs to be cleaned off of them, and more sections need paving. I shouldn’t have to jump off a two seat cart multiple times in a course in order for the driver to make it up hills. 3 The fairways are just ok… but there are many places where overwatering pools even in the direct sun. 4 the course marshal is gruff, and argumentative even when you are trying to be cheerful and follow directions, and hiding in the bushes and yelling at people isn’t cool. Overall not a terrible experience, but again I won’t pay full ride at this course. Next time I will be taking plenty of photos to post detailing my experience, if I golf here again.

The best part of this course is the views, but as a group of avid golfers we were woefully disappointed and frustrated. There’s too many gimmicky holes. You’re penalized for hitting great shots, it’s just sloped brutally and over half the cart paths aren’t even paved. We were excited for a Les Furber design, but this is far from the standard he’s set for himself. Views: 9/10 Course Conditions: 6.5/10 Course Design: 2/10 Staff Service: 7/10

The course itself was excellent and made for an enjoyable round of golf. However, the pro shop staff appeared overwhelmed by the volume of golfers that day, and unfortunately, they ran out of golf carts. It may have been their first particularly busy day of the season, but I trust they gained some valuable experience to better manage high-demand days in the future.

What a wonderful place! I can't wait to come back here! Ticket and concession prices were very affordable. The view of the screen and the stars was excellent! They enforce people at the start of the movie who have their lights on to turn them off. But they don't reinforce people bringing in portable FM radios, meaning some people did have to start their cars during. I didn't smell exhaust, but that did make people's lights turn on. All in all, I know they can't really control who isn't being considerate. It was my first time and plan to go back!

What a great way to spend the evening. Starlight is a must see while driving through BC. The price is totally reasonable and the experience on a warm starry night is amazing. Come early to get a good spot and settle in. the concession has a decent selection of food and although they don't encourage bringing in your own food you totally could if you wanted to. But hey why would you not order popcorn at a drive in! The picture quality was great and the FM audio was really timed well. We will for sure come back here and recommend this to everyone we can. It really is the last of its kind and an experience to remember. Thank you Starlight.

Really enjoyed the shows, and the baked-in nostalgia of visiting a drive-in for the first time in decades... And the first time ever for my wife and daughter. An added bonus, clouds and distant lightning gave way to clear skies, bright stars, and the odd shooting star.

Great Drive-In Cinema even if the nearby street is a bit loud, especially early in the evening. Prices are fair! Bring a battery powered radio, as most cars struggle a bit with running the radio for 2+ hours.

A great spot, affordable concession, double features. A fun experience to enjoy in the summer. There are not many Drive-in theatres left, bring a couple lawn chairs and a portable radio and enjoy a night under the stars.

Battery died half way through double feature... they gave me and over a dozen other vehicles a transistor radio for audio and a boost at the end of the night... thanks for the adventure! Others came with all varieties of comfort from hammocks to blow up mattresses.

What a night to remember! This has been a bucket list item for awhile and it did not disappoint. Something truly extraordinary to sit under the stars in the warm summer night watching a movie on the big screen.

We had such a wonderful time at Davison Orchards — it’s truly one of the best family-friendly places to visit! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always smiling and ready to help. You can really feel that they love what they do and take pride in making visitors feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious — everything tasted fresh and homemade. We especially loved the pies, apple juice, and farm-to-table meals at the café. You can tell everything is made with care using local ingredients. The farm animals were another highlight! The kids (and even us adults) had so much fun feeding and petting them. It’s such a great experience to get close to the animals and learn a bit about farm life. The views of the orchard and surrounding hills are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing. We also enjoyed exploring the farm market and picking up some local goodies to take home. Overall, Davison Orchards is a must-visit spot if you’re in Vernon or anywhere nearby. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone who wants to enjoy nature, great food, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended! 🍎🌻🐐

We visited this place over the summer, and it’s one of the best family-friendly place. The farm market and orchard are absolutely beautiful. The views of the orchard and surrounding areas were mesmerizing. We also enjoyed exploring the farm market and taking the tour — the guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. We got to pick some apples, which were juicy and delicious! Since it wasn’t the main picking season, we couldn’t do much picking, but we did get some fresh apple juice and sauces — everything was so flavorful and delicious.

We just visited Davison Orchards a few days ago for the first time. What an amazing place!! Our whole family enjoyed the 3 hours we spent there. From the amazing farm cafe, frozen apple juice, orchard tour and touring the grounds and markets. It is beautiful scenic place to visit. Highly recommend!!

Lovely place, plenty of activities for kids and adults, food is delicious but pricey. Atmosphere is amazing, tours and pick your own fruit is fun and must do activity. Personnel is friendly, the place is clean and we do visit this orchard every time we are in Vernon.it can get crowded on weekends and you might have challenging time findind parking. Overall I highly recommend it.

A bit of a drive to come here from Penticton but totally worth it, especially in fall season! Lots of photo opportunities, and lots of fresh produce to buy directly where it's grown. Huge store with all kinds of cute stuff for home and gifts that alone is worth visiting! Delicious ice cream where they blend actual fruit of your choice (blueberry was yum and a very generous portion!). And we got to see some farm animals! They offer tours around the orchards but the last one is at 4pm and we came at 5.

We had such an amazing time at Davison Orchards this fall! 🍂🎃 The pumpkin patch was absolutely beautiful — so many sizes and colors to choose from! The fall foliage around the farm made the whole place look magical and perfect for photos. 🍁✨ We enjoyed walking around, picking our pumpkins, and just soaking in the cozy autumn vibes. The staff were friendly and everything was well-organized. Definitely one of the best spots to experience the fall season — we’ll be back again next year! 🧡

We planned our holiday around visiting Davison Orchards. It is an amazing place, and fantastic if you have young kids. This was our second visit. The first was when our son was 6 and this time he is 13. We have such great memories of this place. If you go, definitely do the tractor train ride. You get to pick and eat the most current crop that is ready. The first time, we ate corn on the cob picked directly from the plant and it was amazing! This time we picked delicious apples. The tour guides are knowledgeable and very friendly. The frozen apple juice is delicious so we bought a big jug of it to take on our road trip. The sandwiches are delicious too and the peaches… I bought a big box to share with friends when we got home. We love this place!

What a cool little space! Tons of honey related products for sale and a really fun little learning space for kids. I really liked seeing the indoor hives and trying to find the queen bee. I also really liked the sample honey bar where you could get a sense of what all the different types of honey tasted like. highly recommend if you have even just a little sweet tooth.

We really loved this boutique honey farm. They have so many varieties of local honey and gifts to get as souvenirs! You get to taste honey!! It was a first time experience for us. Loved the entire vibe and atmosphere. A must visit for all those travelling as tourists to the area!!

Love this honey farm! Their honey shop was so fun. You‘ll find a wide variety of bee products, including honey honey, honey wines, beeswax candles, various skincare and wellness products. Don’t miss the generous honey tasting bar! They also have an educational area for kids, displaying some key appliances and even a large honeycomb. I highly recommend it to everyone visiting Vernon.

If you have kids this is a cool place to visit. They have activities for the kids. Their garden is just little niches surrounding the parking lot. There are bee hives around so bee aware lol 😆 the gift shop is definitely the highlight. They have everything from honey, tea, kit hen items, gifts etc. There is also a free meal tasting and a tasting area for the various flavors of honey they make. There is an indoor hive as well that you can see the hive and the girls working hard. See if you can spot the queen!

We visited the Planet Bee Honey Farm when we visited a friend for her graduation. We loved our time at the Farm. The bees were active and the flowers were beautiful and we got to experience it at its peak. The staff was very knowledgeable and had fun showing us where the queen bee was and explaining to us about the inner workings. I did the mead tasting and the women who led the tasting was also very knowledgeable and engaging. It tasted lovely and we left with a couple bottles. The honey tasting was also pretty cool and we brought a few jars home too. This was a really great experience and thing to do and we recommend it to all ages, families, girls trips and all!

Checked out Planet Bee Honey Farm. They have all things honey related. Mead bottles are $15.00 to $40.00. Loved that you can sample two dozen honey flavours; favourites were the chai, peach and iced glacé. The salad dressing/sauces/marinades were also tasty. - Mead tasting - complimentary tasting of four meads; Okanagan delight, melaina’s muse, ode to Odin and nectar of the sun. - Peach honey ($12.00 for 500g) - very peachy. One of our favourite honeys that we sampled

Sweet Little Stop with Lots to See! Planet Bee Honey Farm is a great place for a quick and fun stop! We enjoyed exploring their mini garden filled with bee trivia—perfect for kids and adults alike. They have a lovely selection of gifts, souvenirs, and even honey wine to sample and bring home. It’s a charming spot to learn a little, shop a little, and enjoy the buzz of the bees. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! 🐝🍯🌼

Took my family for lunch/tasting for my dad’s 70th birthday. Definitely had an great experience today. Our servers Morgan and Steph were superb and so attentive. Really enjoyed the tasting trio and would absolutely recommend it. The views are of course stunning. The only “negative” was that the menu was very limited. But we shared charcuterie plates, truffle fries, and pistachio ice cream. All 10/10.

Excellent food and fantastic service. If they had more staff front of house it would be amazing. We were there early and were treated to all kinds of information on the wines, the food and why they were paired. We tried wines we never would have because of this. We hadn’t even considered wine! When it got busy around 6:30 with only 3 servers on the floor they can’t do that. From a business perspective that is a huge mistake. Our server, Cassandra, was a delight. Let her shine with a reasonably-sized section and you would increase revenue. Food was amazing and also able to accommodate my wheat and dairy avoidance. It was also nice to have a menu that doesn’t look like every other menu in town. Scallops were amazing and so was the steak. And the view can’t be beat.

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience today ! Rachel was an absolute pleasure and very informative! We choose the $20.00 taste of the Estate which included 5 different wines! We really enjoyed all of them and talked about our favourites with Rachel! We chatted about ours and Rachel’s travels that included some fantastic wine regions! The Pinot Gris was our favourite wine today and we had just been to the Alsace Wine Region in the Spring where the Gray Monk owners were inspired from! What a great story to hear! Our other two favourites were the Rose and Pinot Noir. Rachel made our experience really lovely! She was friendly, educated on the wine and the history of the winery! She genuinely wanted to interact with us! We will definitely return when the patio and restaurant is open! Great experience! We bought a bottle of Pinot Gris to go!

My friends and I great time at Gray Monk Winery on our tour. Our guide, Karen, was fantastic. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable with all our questions. Sadly the vineyard was closed due to spraying for crop protection, which was a little disappointing to miss out on as part of our tour, but we still got to see the wine tanks and learn about the process and history. A fun and informative experience overall with gorgeous views of Kelowna that I've never experienced before!

We did a wine tour with Stef and she was friendly and personable, made our wine tasting a great experience! We also had dinner here - we had the feature pasta and pan seared steelhead (the favourite!). Views from the patio were also great.

Enjoyed our experience immensely. Stef is clearly very knowledgeable on the history of Gray Monk Wines as well as great descriptions and pairing for all their various wines we tasted.

Excellent wine and a great overall experience! The tasting was both enjoyable and informative — we learned so much about each variety. The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates good wine and great service! Thank you Rachel!

I visited this place last Friday—such an amazing location with a beautiful view, just what you need at sunset. This time, they had the Apero food truck on site, and it was my first time trying their tapas. The food paired perfectly with wine and tasted absolutely delicious. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the evening!

I'm usually a food blogger, but I also participated in the wine tasting here. We visited 5 wineries this day and out of all of them, Arrowleaf was by far the most beautiful and most fun. The man that assisted my group with the wine tasting was extremely outgoing, knowledgeable and approachable. You could tell he loved what he did. Now onto my favourite thing I tasted my ENTIRE trip... THE HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFF ($9.5). This cream puff was delicious, fresh, masterful, beautiful, flavourful... did I say delicious? Whoever makes these is through and through a pastry chef. They know what their doing. Don't miss out on visiting this winery for the great wine, good vibes and the phenomenal cream puffs.

Opens at 11am. The speciality creme puffs will sell out quickly. And they are a must try. Mango was delicious!

We stopped by for a wine tasting. This was one of the best wine tasting experiences I’ve had! It was fun but very informative. The staff are happy and made us feel like we were important. The wines are delicious and affordable.

Had an amazing few hours at Arrowleaf. We enjoyed a glass of Pino Gris outside on the patio. Simply stunning views. Great and welcoming staff. Will be back.

Lovely family owned brewery and Tracy who facilitated our tasting was a blast. She knew all her wine info and had no problem keeping up with a rambunctious ladies trip! She’s a serious asset to the company!!!

It's one of my favorite wineries in Lake Country. Love their wine. I recommend getting their wine flight and sitting at their patio to enjoy the view. Winery is small itself, but it has a huge outdoor area, including picnic tables. I highly recommend visiting this winery while visiting kelowna.

Neat place with lots of random stuff but main reason to stop are the pies! We stopped years ago and had the best pecan pie we've ever had. Glad to see the pies are still just as good. Got a fresh one to finish on the trip and a frozen one to take home.

Log Burn 1912 is a hidden gem with a warm and rustic vibe. From the moment you step in, you feel welcomed—the décor is charming, the staff are friendly, and the service is fast. The food and drinks are excellent, made with care and full of flavor. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a casual day out or a cozy gathering with friends and family. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable spot to unwind!

Such a fun stop — and the BEST snacks! Log Barn is a hidden gem! We had the best time exploring the quirky displays, feeding the goats, and soaking in the peaceful country vibes. But let’s talk about the snacks — absolutely unbeatable! From the softest donuts to the most delicious pies, beef jerky, and fudge… we left with bags full of goodies (and zero regrets). Everything felt homemade and full of love. Highly recommend making a stop here — 5 stars all the way!

Had the best time here with my cousin and friend. We’re visiting from Los Angeles and loved the rustic charm of this place! So glad we stopped by on our way to Banff National Park! Definitely must try their fresh pies, buttery fudge, artisan cheeses, and their famous smoky Mennonite sausage. Outside, snap photos with life-size dinosaurs and soak in stunning BC countryside views. Whether it’s ice cream, local gifts, or a taste of rural Canada. We got to feed the goats and saw horses and bunnies too! Highly recommend! 😊

We had a wonderful experience here in a week! Where to even start? We'd been told about Log Barn 1912, but pictures just don't do it justice. Watching the goats meander up and down was a huge hit with everyone. And the statues! It’s this whole wild collection of creatures, including a lion and what looked like a dragon. It's so creative and unexpected. But the real magic for us was inside. We're big fans of good food, and the sausage and homemade desserts were the real deal. We grabbed a bunch of different items for dinner and a snack for the road, including some of their smoked cheeses, and everything was just delicious. You can really tell that they take pride in what they make. This place is a feast for the senses, and it's clear they've put so much thought into creating a unique experience. It’s like a road trip stop that felt more like a destination, and we were so glad we took the time to explore every corner. We'll be back for more of those wonderful pastries, for sure:))

Whether it's sunny or rainy, this place is definitely full of charm. Whenever passing by, one can't help but stop to admire it, feed sheep and chickens, buy ice cream to eat, and purchase hot dogs. It is an indispensable stop on a long journey

Great place to take walk around and pictures. They got public washroom too. Love their turkey jerky.

We had a marvelous time on our Farm to Flask tasting. Our hostess was very gracious and well-informed. We learned a lot about the process of distilling fine spirits and bought four bottles to take with us. We were very impressed with how everything is sourced locally and how they have found a valuable use for "seconds" apples that are fine but aren't quite "cosmetically good enough" for store shelves. We were also impressed by how all byproducts of the process are composted or given to farmers to feed their animals. It is very impressive and the finished product is top quality.

Stopped here on a road trip through the Okanagan. Very nice tasting room in Vernon, friendly and knowledgeable staff and most importantly very tastey Whiskey. Left with the BLK BRBN Cask Strength but the rye and single malt were also very good.

This distillery was beautiful. The shop front looked nice and we were so glad to be able to stop by. We didn’t do any tastings because we were driving but would have loved to try some of what they had to offer someday. We got ourselves their small bottles of gin/vodka/whiskey as well as a cocktail smoker set. Can’t wait to try it out.

OkanaganSpirits Craft Distillery makes two bourbon style whiskeys that are at least equal but I believe superior to anything from Tennessee or Kentucky-BRBN and Whisky Hunter: Nectar of the Gods. If you are in Vernon or Kelowna, go for a tasting. If the B.C. government would do the right thing and rightfully provide B.C. distillers with the same support as BC wineries, you would be able to find these on B.C. Liquor Store shelves while they are empty of US whiskeys. We all need to advocate for 100% BC farm to bottle products.

We did a tour and a tasting of the distillery with Andrew, and it was fantastic. Excellent spirits and very informative. I would highly recommend coming here if you are even remotely interested in how spirits are made. All the staff are friendly and willing to answer questions. Thanks again Andrew for a great tour and tasting.

We had such a lovely time at Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery in Vernon. We did a tour with Andrew, who was amazing! The tour was the perfect balance of learning about the fascinating history of the distillery and tasting the whiskey. The whiskey choices were varied in flavour and the tasting did a good job of going through the different flavour profiles. The distillery is a welcoming space- I saw kid's toys and a lovely shop, so even if you yourself are not a whiskey fan, it's still a great experience!

Loved the experience and Steph. She made us feel right at home gave us some cocktail ideas and we came away with an assortment of sprints that we would not have tried or bought had it not been for her creativity. Thank you

A great place for hikes and different levels of activity. You can mountain bike, hike straight up to the viewpoint, walk up a paved road or take trails that aren’t as steep. The different viewpoints of the lake and Kelowna are spectacular! Great photo ops!

Peaceful place for hiking. Walking and Bicycle both Hike are awesome. The view from the top of the mountain is just eye pleasing. It's worth climbing after reaching the till the peak. If take apex trail and then follow the ogopogo trail that's breathtaking experience. There are also washrooms 🚻 in middle of trails and dustbins are available in same way.

A very beautiful hike, good for all skill levels. I am relatively new to hiking and tried the apex trail, it was a bit challenging, and the view at the summit is incredible! Highly recommend anyone living in Kelowna to do this hike.

Great view. It has an asphalt portion and rest is well kept trails that are suitable for biking and hiking. Good for short or long walks and you can choose the intensity of your walk by choosing different paths

Wonderful panoramic views! There are two points scenic points for pictures, the first one (below) it's easy to arrive but the second one (up) needs a hike of 30 minutes or bike cause the road for cars is closed. Our hike to the second point of view was really tired since that day was very hot (32 degrees) but worth it because the photos are incredible.

A grind up but very doable and short. The trails down are a ton of fun. The switchbacks can be challenging but overall black diamond. Highly recommend to intermediate bikers looking for a downhill challenge. Lots of other trails to try out and is great to keep attempting the same trails. Never gets old.

The view point is terrific. The vehicle was allowed till the first view point and after that had to trek to the other view points. The view of Kelowna city is amazing. Would love to visit there once more. Even though it was scorching hot, the breeze near the view points made it very cool. Gates close by 8pm. Would appreciate if the timings are extended during summer as this a very beautiful place to view sunset across the Okanagan Valley.

My family and I had a great time exploring the park. There’s lots to see in the staff were super friendly. Some of the amenities could be worked on as as well as the cleanliness of the washrooms, I’m sure it’s a busy place but for the price they charge With concessions and entry, they should have people on duty making sure things are clean. It can get very hot there so I would recommend bringing something to keep you cool like an umbrella. Overall off on place to take company from out of town

It's a fun experience for the entire family. Being able to walk between the wallaroos and kangaroos is enchanting for all ages. The place is beautiful, lots of space for a picnic (although they do sell snacks and beverages). You really need to come during the low season and on a weekday. The place can get packed fast.

Came all the way here from Maple Ridge to see the kangeroos because it’s cheaper than flying to Australia. It was for my daughter’s birthday as she loves animals and especially kangeroos. We had a great time. The capybaras and the sugar glider were surprising fan-favourites. My kids (9, 10 & 16) all liked the rabbits and pigs too. We got bored around the two hour mark. The animals are pretty docile and pretty much just lie around. I hope they’re happy here. Although we can feed them they don’t really want to be fed (must be full). One pig had a tantrum at the end and got really loud. Coming here is something you must do once but probably would never come again. Some of the staff were great and others seemed a little harsh with kids. Prices are a little high but if it’s mostly going towards the animals’ care that’s fine.

I love kangaroo creek farm so much. I’ve been there many many times and I’ve never had a bad day there. They have local honey as well available for sale outside the grounds (also delicious). I love that you can interact with so many different species. They have capybara, kangaroos, bennetts wallabies, a Patagonian Mara, a porcupine, sugar gliders and more. This is one of my favourite places in the world. @katjaspov on Instagram for more of my favourite spots 🥰

I recently visited Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna, and honestly, it’s such a fun and unique spot, especially if you have little kids. The farm gives you the chance to get up close with kangaroos, wallabies, capybaras, parrots, and even some exotic animals you don’t usually see in Canada. It’s hands-on, interactive, and way more personal than a traditional zoo experience. What makes it really special is how relaxed and welcoming the vibe is — the animals have space to roam, and you get the chance to feed and pet them at your own pace. The staff are super friendly too, always happy to answer questions and make sure the kids are having a great time. Tickets are about $20 per person, its about 1 hours trip. And they have shows at 11:30 and 1:30 every day i believe. I’d say it’s the kind of place where kids can learn, explore, and have fun all at once, and adults will definitely enjoy it too. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Kelowna, Kangaroo Creek Farm is definitely worth adding to your list — it’s one of those experiences you’ll remember for a long time.

A very lovely farm with lots of different animals to see! The kangaroos are super friendly and you can even pet them. It’s a perfect spot for a fun date or a family outing — very kid-friendly and relaxing overall.

We went to the Kangaroo Creek Farm in July and were so excited to see the animals. The farm was busy when we got there but parking was easy to find. It was a very hot day and we were worried the animals would be hiding or not around for us to see. Upon entering, we went to the capybara and sugar gliders. They were out, and although the heat made them lazy, we got to pet and hangout with them and even hold a sugar glider. The kids enjoyed the show we watched, which was quick and engaging. The bird exhibit was fun and they were all hanging out. The emu feeding was awesome and we enjoyed watching it interact with people. The kangaroos were pretty lazy and weren’t interested in eating our treats but we couldn’t blame them because it was +35. It was fun to see the babies and watch them be bottle fed. There was even a momma with one in its pouch, which was cool to see. The facilities were clean and we enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend to anyone going to Kelowna to check out the farm and hangout with the animals.

The Vibrant Vine is always a must-stop winery when we are in the area! My husband and I were in last week for a tasting and it was lovely! Carlota was a great host. She was super friendly and enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wines! The wine is great and the art is an added fun bonus! It’s cool to walk through the museum and the bottles are a great conversation starter back home.

Had an amazing time exploring and tasting at the Vibrant Vine…stunning art and incredible wine! Julia our tasting server was great! Thank you Julia! The wine bottles are as gorgeous as the wine is tasty. Highly recommended for both the wine and the experience.

Very cool winery with a fun & interactive tasting! Monique was great as she guided us through the wines. Label artwork is really good and the 3D aspect is amazing. Wines were okay but the overall unique experience is what made this memorable.

This is the most interesting winery I’ve been. We came for a full experience of wine tasting, icy wine and 3D tour. I felt going for a wine tasting in art gallery! Monique, our wine server in the wine tasting bar, was very cheerful happy host. Wynn, the owner, also came say hi and explained everything about ice wine. We got lucky to taste it and that is legit a sip of desert. We had a lot of fun and were well hosted.

Visited here over the weekend from out of town, all the artwork is amazing. Had a wine tasting with Maja, she was very kind, welcoming and enthusiastic about telling the stories behind all the different wines and the artwork!

We had such a wonderful experience at this winery today! From start to finish, everything felt welcoming and relaxed. A special shoutout to Grace, who helped us, she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tasting experience even more enjoyable. She took the time to answer our questions and gave us great recommendations. The wines were excellent, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly recommend visiting, and if you can, ask for Grace :)

The winery has a really cool vibe, especially with the unique 3D artwork on display—definitely a highlight and you can tell a lot of creativity and effort went into it. The space itself was visually interesting and worth checking out. That said, the wine didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially compared to other wineries we’ve visited in the area. They do charge for the tasting, which is totally fair, but we’ve had more memorable wine experiences elsewhere where tastings were complimentary. Still, if you’re into art and want a different kind of winery stop, it’s worth a visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – A Dream Venue with an Incredible Team! We couldn't have asked for a more magical wedding day, and so much of that is thanks to Nicola, Chris, and the entire team at this incredible venue. From start to finish, they were professional, coordinated, and an absolute joy to work with. Their calm and fun energy made the day feel smooth and stress-free—even when the weather decided to throw us a curveball! When the skies opened up with rain and even hail, they didn’t miss a beat. They jumped into action with their side-by-side, making sure everyone and everything stayed on track. They even went the extra mile to dry off all the ceremony chairs before guests arrived—truly above and beyond. And the venue itself? Absolutely breathtaking. The space was not only beautifully maintained but also offered stunning views in every direction. It’s hard to put into words just how special it felt to be surrounded by that kind of natural beauty while celebrating such an important day. We’re so grateful to Nicola, Chris, and the whole team for helping make our wedding unforgettable. If you're looking for a venue that’s both gorgeous and supported by an amazing crew, look no further. This place is a gem!

Instead of going to Whistler, like I typically do, I decided to come in inland for a one week mountain biking trip. Though it was cold and rainy Silverstar mountain bike park is very impressive and easy to get around. The lines are short and all of the food and services is in one place. My only complaint is that all of the blue trails seem to be flow and there wasn’t enough just plain old old-school riding, but that might just be me looking for that. It was really nice to be able to park and just go and ride and eat something and do it all without wondering where to go .

It is situated in such a great spot! Great view! If you are lucky you will see wild animals roaming around. Rooms are spacious and clean. Great option for big families or a large group( 10-12). Service is great! Loved my stay here! My whole family had a joyous stay. I will definitely be back!

Have been coming out downhill biking here for a lot of years, very progressive park with something for everyone and well maintained, frequently changing things up rebuilding trails and building new ones, lift ticket prices aren't terrible compared to some resorts, ride cards nice for shorter trips especially having the extended play option. Have stayed in most of the accommodations, camped at the hill lots, nothing fancy just a parking lot but has power when we slug the travel trailer up or just standard with our rooftop tent, access to full facilities including showers. Couple fun pubs for some evening entertainment.

Amazing mtb riding. Not busy, tons of riding for everyone. Great facilities in the village. Lovely staff and a chill vibe. The trails were a bit rough because we were late in the season. Didn't put us off and rode till the body said no more ! Awesome place

Great bike park, fantastic experience on the mountain. The kids are really levelling up with the progression through the blues and blacks. Rental shop killed the experience unfortunately. My son is just outgrowing his 20 inch commencal, and the bigger features on pipe dream required a 24” full suspension. Day 1, rental bike and setup was great. Day 2, we rented the same bike, but it was not setup at all. We took 3 trips to the shop to attempt corrections. Bike continued to bottom out hard on the rear, no matter the corrections the shop made. Consider also that we only rode 7 laps of the park in a full day, so 3 trips to the shop is pretty frustrating. Day 3 when we picked up the bike I was told that there was nothing wrong on Day 2, and that I should stop messing with the suspension settings, as I was adjusting things backwards. At no time did I adjust anything, so this was pretty disheartening to hear, as it sounded like the shop believed it was my fault? Lesson learned, while the rental bikes are high quality, the service department, and rental department are not. No offers of a discounted rental on the second or third day, nothing was done to make it right. Knocked down my 5 star experience to a 3, at best. ***update*** The rental shop has been in contact, and has made everything right, even offering a refund for the rental. I trust the experience will be far better moving forward. Excellent customer service team, and perhaps just a bad day from an employee. Well done SIlverstar team.

Great place to ride downhill mtn bike. Smooth flowy trails for intermediate riders. Also prefer to ride at resorts that have a chairlift for riders instead of a gondola.

Overall was a great experience, I wanted to be challenged with the different difficulties they had for courses. Felt like a full body workout but in the most fun way! Had to mentally push myself through the fear, which I thought was cool :). Amazing views of the mountains and the valley, stopped a couple times during courses to take some pictures. Only rated it 4/5 because I thought the zipline part would be more than just 3 short lines. Learned then that this place is definitely obstacle course dominant. Would highly recommend for a good mental booster and workout :).

I took my hiking buddy here on the 8th of August, (did this 6 years ago) we did a lot of adventures but this was another level of adventure for her, she had a blast. What I can recommend is bring gloves to protect your hands from blisters, there's a lot of obstacles, unfortunately 5 were closed cause the tree died but they did put more zip lining to enjoy. Staff were friendly and nice, we had a blast. We wil come back again next year. (From Alberta)

This was by far the best hidden gem no one told us but we just find out in Kelowna... everyone with kids MUST visit this place. I felt like the owner himself don't want to be a millionaire.. 😊no ads .. poor signage and roads.. hats off to the lovely staff..

We attended the Scare Walk for Halloween and let me tell you I have never been so scared in my life!!! It was the best Halloween experience I had, I actually felt like I was in a horror movie….and I don’t get scared easily! The props were great, the walk through the forest was long, and the live actors did a great job scaring the 💩 out of us!

This trail was terrifying! My friend and I screamed the whole way. The staff were incredibly helpful; besides scaring us, they were also very kind and gave us directions. The path was a bit dark, but perfect for Halloween. One of the staff members told us that this haunted park is the scariest in Kelowna. I totally agree! 😂 You definitely have to come here for a unique Halloween experience! 🎃

This place is all about outdoor adventure in the trees. The park has high ropes courses, climbing routes, and zip lines that range from kid-friendly to pretty challenging, so it works well for families or groups with mixed ages. Staff are friendly and safety-focused, which helps if you’re new to this kind of activity. Parking is available on-site and usually straightforward, though it can get busy in peak summer. There aren’t hiking trails or camping here—it’s more of a half-day activity spot rather than a full park experience. No big amenities like washrooms beyond the basics, so plan accordingly. The views of the surrounding canyon are a nice bonus, and it’s close enough to combine with a visit to the Myra Canyon Trestles if you want a full day out.

It was awesome! 7 courses of varying difficulty and beautiful views. Very friendly and welcoming staff!

I would definitely recommend Freedom Flight School for anyone looking to do training, tandems or just a place to hang out and fly! I spent 2 weeks there and did my P1 & P2 training, plus some extra flights as a new P2. Dave is great and has built something beautiful here - a community that I feel privileged to be part of. It's clearly more than just a business for him - good advice, good training and good vibes seem to take priority over money or maximizing profit. All the instructors were amazing, and I appreciated that they have a variety of experience and teaching styles. They do a good job of tailoring the experience to each person, I felt very safe and in control the whole time. I also thought towing was a valuable in-between step to get used to flying before having to run off the mountain. I'm already thinking about when I'll be able to go back! Thanks Dave and team!

Last year I started my journey to get my P1 then P2 for paragliding. I just graduated! This has been an unforgettable experience. Dave, Terry, and Andrew have been great instructors and take safety seriously. Freedom flight park has a community vibe with locals and travellers mixing over a common goal of flying. Looking forward to future visits and honing in on my skills.

What an incredible experience! My mom and I each did a tandem flight with Dave and Chloe and it was incredible! They are so skilled and knowledgeable and provided an experience that we will talk about forever. We highly recommend Freedom flight and hope to come back again soon!

Got my P1 and P2 here and it was all a great experience. Dave and Terry were patient and great coaches. I camped there for a week while getting my flights. There were lots of great people to meet and the facilities were comfortable. Would recommend to anyone!

As my first time paragliding, but still with a real interest in the sport, I couldn’t have been more welcomed here. Dave and everyone else explained passionately to me how they fly and manoeuvre. I felt like a real person and not only a client, which made my experience personalized and really enjoyable. I also felt confident in their ability to fly and o never once felt any fear for my safety. Without any doubt, I will recommend Freedom Paragliding School to anyone interested in that kind of sport, it is really worth it!

There is a reason why this school only has 5 stars reviews... The whole experience and learning process is nothing short of exceptional. I went there for my P1 & P2 training and I was able to complete both in less than 2 weeks. After the graduation Dave let me stay a couple more days to do some extra solo flights with the new students. During the training, all the instructors were amazing and very helpful. They all have a different style and way to teach so it's very valuable as you can spend some time with all of them to help you find your own style. What I really liked about this school is their flexibility and the way they can adapt to each student to help you focus on what you need. Also, the atmosphere is great at the pilot's lounge. They will definitely make you feel part of the family. Dave and the others also helped me choose the right gear (wing, harness, etc etc) with no pressure to buy from them. One week after I left Lumby (with my own gear) I was able to fly confidently on a new site (Mount Seven, Golden, BC) and it went so smoothly... (largely due to the instructors). I'll probably go back there every spring to fly with them. Big thanks to the whole team.

After lots of research I decided to go with freedom flight school for a few reasons. For one, I wasn’t sure if I would even like paragliding, but Dave’s school offered tandems, and if I decided to continue with the P1, the cost of the tandem would be subtracted from the cost of the P1. This made it much easier to commit to my paragliding adventure (although I tried out the training hill first and I was immediately hooked). Another reason was that unlike other schools, Dave’s school does not require you to bring your own gear or buy gear from his school if you decide to take a course. I wanted to have options for buying and I wanted have more knowledge about the gear before I had to buy it, so this was a great point for me. The third reason was that Dave’s school offers towing endorsements as well. Being able to get towed up to a low height in the air seemed like the perfect baby steps to learning to fly; opposed to going from the training hill to running off the mountain. The last reason was that it was the best priced school. Even though I’m based in Victoria it was definitely worth the drive. I started my Paragliding Journey in September 2024, and completed my P1. During the towing for my P1, Dave’s team did a great job of walking me through all of the steps to launch and safely land my first flights. I felt like there was someone with me in the air guiding me through all of the steps. That trend continued when I took my first steps off the mountain and into the air. I came back in early May 2025 to finish off my P2, and had a great experience again. I only had a week to get my P2 done, but Dave and his team did everything they could to make sure I got my 25 flights done in order to graduate before I had to leave. They taught me all the necessary skills and knowledge that I needed in order to be a confident and competent solo pilot. There is a great sense of community at Freedom Flight School and it’s nice to have the option to camp on site and sit around the fire. I loved that when I graduated I got a mini wind sock to take home and that another one was put up in the pilots lounge with my name on it! I know that when I return to Lumby I’ll be returning to an awesome flying site and good friends.

had the most amazing camping trip here. it’s beautiful, quiet and sooo peaceful. there are lots of little ground squirrels! be their friend but don’t feed them cause they stop attacking you!

What an amazing place to stay. Gorgeous campsite, awesome lake, cute little convenience, store, wonderful staff. No cell phone service but that can be seen as a good thing. Would recommend for anybody

Beautiful park, family oriented, miles from the action. Good fishing and a small well equipped marina store for essentials, snacks and ice cream. Such a chill vibe here, the park is quiet by 930-10 everybody tired from a beach day kayaking and paddleboarding. DON'T FORGET! NO CELL SERVICE! NO INTERNET! CASH ONLY! Grab everything you need in Lumby.

We had an AMAZING experience tenting here with our two children (ages 9 months and 2 years old). Beautiful beach in the day use area that drops quickly, so you are going to want life jackets for non-swimmers! A bit chilly, as it is a glacier-fed lake, but great on a hot day. We were here the first week of September and it was lovely. Large camp sites - big enough for 2 tents or an RV. Picnic table at each site. There is a boat launch and a large stretch of beach that you can also launch from if you don't have a boat trailer. No cell service, internet, power etc. which is great if you are trying to get away from city life. There is a place to charge medical equipment if necessary - check with the staff. Wonderful experience. My two-year-old has been asking to go back everyday since we have been home. Bugs weren't bad the first week of September either.

Mabel Lake, just 47 km from Vernon, offers a peaceful retreat with amenities like dog-friendly areas, campsites, washrooms, and a playground. Clean and well-maintained, it's perfect for a family outing or a relaxing getaway. No cell services, no internet ☺️

Had a great time camping here at the main campground. The basics - our site was big enough for multiple tents and 2 cars. There are a few pairs of flush toilets in the campground, kept in reasonable condition. The tap water seemed drinkable. There is a marina boat launch near the overflow camping and day use and general store with ice and a few essentials. The lake - there are multiple beaches and grassy areas. The sand is medium fine, with a few rocks. The water is fairly clean and cold. The scenery is beautiful, it's a massive lake surrounded by mountains. There are logging 4x4 trails all over the mountain, a short hike to Cascade waterfalls, and the Mystic Trail to explore.

Beautiful place to camp! Great play ground for kids. Has flush toilets, no shower facilities. No WiFi or cell service, perfect to ‘unplug’ and enjoy the beauty around you
