Amazing place to rent a boat. The owner and all the girls were super nice. Great price, great service will definitely be back!

No more day launches. $400 a year to use a boat launch LOL....will never go back.

Had an amazing experience. We were a groups of 5 students from Kamloops and we rented a boat for ½ day. Very friendly and professional. Found this place to be cheaper and better option.

Beautiful spot to beach for the day. Has tons of water sports rentals- kayaks, speed boats, sea doos, paddle boards. Also a gas bar and snack shack. Great family place with a great playground and nice sandy beach.

Had a great Hawaiian pizza at the marina yesterday. The sauce is similar to Red Tomato in Kamloops really good!! We will be going back for another before the season is over. Just an update I was down for a swim yesterday and there is a calm inviting atmosphere!! Great place to cool down or spend the day!! They are making some improvements and with this great weather great place for locals to enjoy!

We rented a pontoon boat from Bruker Marina, and had so much fun with it. They delivered it to another lake for us which was great because it cut out a lot of work for us. It arrived on time and ran great for the week we had it. There was a concern with the quoted price to what we were charged, but Kerry honoured the lower price without any problem and we thank him for that. A great place to deal with and hope to be back next year to rent from them again.

Great people, had fun kayaking!

The campground is very open and has nice sites.The lake views are beautiful but is not a swimming lake Fishing was not a go at all We got one nibble on a week worth of fishing. Someone else caught 2 other wise people have said that they normally catch up to 25 a day but that was 2 weeks ago.It is colder up there and some times very windy. Great for kids to ride bikes, but no playground. I think they should add that.They have the best out houses ever, very clean and no odour.Very clean campground.$18.00 dollars a night nice size camping sites and fire pits.The staff there is very nice.We would go back a go earlier in the season like July.

Great park, clean facilities, friendly and helpful park operators. Lots of open campsites in the middle of the summer, all first come first serve. Not the best lakes for swimming but the fishing is good.

Huge campground. Over 200 spots. All spots are quite large. Potable water on site. No hookups but down the road is a sani dump. Great fishing!

Big shout out for Doug and Susan for looking after my boat when I experienced mechanical issues with my camper van back in July. I have been coming up to Tunkwa for years, each time knowing that the facilities will always be clean and well supplied. The service they provide is akin to having my own concierge service while camping off the grid. Because of Doug and Susan I will keep coming back and have recommended it to family and friends!

A beautiful provincial park with lots of spaces (266) many of them right on the lake. When we first drove in we thought, wow lots of people, but we kept driving and found lots of empty campsites away from the crowds. Lots of wildlife around especially yellow-bellied mamots and chipmonks.

This is the nicest campground I've ever been to. It's so well maintained and Doug is the perfect caretaker for such an amazing place. The wildlife is pristine and the fishing is absolutely amazing. Take note, this is not a party campground and it's enforced.

Excellent camp sites, great fishing and stunning views. Hard to beat this Provincial Park

Privato Winery & Woodward Cider Co. Had to be a Kamloops visit destination while I was in the area. They have comfortable outside and a rustic inside seating to enjoy the offerings. Skilled and informative staff are happy to describe everything as well. I was informed of the great seasonal events they have.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Privato Winery. Mackenzi and Candace were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, and they made the wine and cider tasting such an enjoyable experience. We felt welcomed the entire time and truly appreciated how well they explained everything. Would definitely recommend!

Great destination for fall fun and fine wine! The environment is absolutely gorgeous, and the pumpkin patch is always a lovely tradition. While the cider wasn't a hit, the wine is superb. It was a bonus to have a great vendor on site to eat, making it easy pair and enjoy a glass of wine or cider right before or after picking our pumpkins. We'll be back for the wine and the views!

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to the amazing team at Privato Winery. I had bought a Mother’s Day tasting for my mum and me through their website, but a few days before, I saw a woman selling a gift basket on Facebook Marketplace. I thought I scored a deal—but unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam. The confirmation number she gave me wasn’t even close to the real ones Privato uses… So annoying but my own fault. Sidney and Catalina were nothing but kind and patient. They looked at the message I got and told me they think I had been scammed. And here’s where they completely blew me away: instead of turning us away (which they honestly could have done, because none of this was their fault), they rallied together and helped us. They put together a basket for us right there on the spot and turned what could’ve been a disappointing afternoon into something really special. The wine was incredible, the ciders were so good, the charcuterie was delicious, and the entertainment was just the cherry on top. But more than that, it was the kindness of the people that made the day perfect. Thank you Sidney, Catalina, and everyone at Privato. You went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful. You gave my mum and me a beautiful memory we’ll never forget.

Beautiful winery. Stopped by for a cider and wine tasting. The gardens are very nice. Tasting area is very spread out. Lots of sun and shade options. Pet friendly area. Cornhole and ladder ball.

We had a fantastic time at privato winery! Maya was AMAZING. She was so sweet and talkative and clearly cares a lot about her job. We even signed up to be members during this experience!! Thanks so much!

A delightful vineyard just a short drive from town, offering wonderful wine and cider. Tastings start at $10, depending on your selection. The overall experience and atmosphere are truly fantastic—highly recommend! 🍷🌾

This is the only golf course in Logan Lake. I thought the course was in great shape for a small town course. There are 9 holes that make up a proper full and challenging round. The greens are a little bumpy and slower than a big course. The course is hilly, so consider a power cart. The green fees and cart prices are a bargain. The kitchen has been improved since COVID. We had coffee and a full breakfast for about $12. It was good. 2 eggs, sausage, toast with grilled potatoes. The staff are friendly and the course isn't crowded. It was good fun.

The staff at the clubhouse is excellent. I stopped by to have breakfast. The food is excellent as well.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's 40th with a mini fun tournament at Meadow Creek. Janet is fabulous to work with, so helpful and provided so much guidance in the set up and structure to make for such a great day. The entire group ended up coming back to do the back nine since they enjoyed the course so much. Challenging enough for the experienced but welcoming enough to make the beginner feel comfortable.

Had to start late due to signing in and then my party was hassled by the club head for grouping up more than 4 people claiming that it makes us slower while other groups had more people than 4 but were left alone. The guy hassled us on more than three occasions within the first hour even bragging about how he called the cops on a group last week and by the time everyone’s mood was ruined and members of my group were arguing with staff they had called the police on us. Even the responding office was surprised that he got called for such a childish reason. Side note is that one of our members complained to him that her daughter is special needs and has never golfed to which he claimed she should be wearing a sign saying that she is special needs

A challenging 9 hole game to start the season. The course is hilly at the beginning with water at the end. Watch out for Meadow Creek .

NICE COURSE, DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Course is very nice, but some members of the staff are so unbelievably rude. As I see on another review it seems like the same women. Within our party we had 3 T times, our second time we were loading our clubs into the carts 2 minutes past our T time while the T off area was not clear yet, and this woman comes out yelling and acting very rude and condescending. They booked their T times too close together and tried to make us feel like it was our fault. The staff makes visitors and amateur golfers feel very unwelcomed. It takes 10 minutes to pay and check in and then they get angry because you're falling behind, then they do not give you maps or score cards, you have to find them yourself, but she had no issue yelling and screaming about how we should know where to go because theres a map and we should have had one. I've golfed here many times and was excited to bring our family and while the course is beautiful and very enjoyable, the staff put a very big damper on the start of our game. I will say though, I believe it was the new training women, helped us as we were finishing and she was quite friendly, which was refreshing because we were bracing for the worst.

Good little full length 9 hole course. Very nice layout and very good prices but desperately needs a website/online booking

They have this eatery at the one end of the place. It has a Chicken Taco Salad on the menu. I was craving a good salad when I sat down. It was very delicious, I recommend it for sure. Mmmm.

It wasn't chances its self but the restaurant inside. My ma and I ordered a dinner slab of.ribs and half a chicken and it was disgusting no spices on the chicken or sauce over cooked and wasn't a half of a chicken either wasn't worth ordering and the service I give props to the bartender I feel him he was swamped he was busier then the waitresses. And he definitely made up for the lack of services but again not his fault... management you were standing right there and you could of helped a lending hand so shame on you. Hopefully next time it'll be better

Food took 40 minutes at 215pm. I was hungry and upset I’ll admit. But only after the steak and fries showed up cold, not warm, but cold. I just couldn’t wait for a second round of that so I declined their offer to “rush” a second steak since that’s still 20 more minutes. Kids ate theirs and we were off. Staff could not have cared less so we paid the bill and left. They were courteous enough to remove the dinner from the bill which nice since I didn’t eat it. Left feeling like I should have done more myself somehow

Was told there would be an hour wait to be seated. I have never needed to make a reservation when going to Barside Grill. We wanted to celebrate a 91st birthday and were basically turned away. Very disappointing 😞

Great casino, only flaw is getting a handbag takes 10 minutes plus. They need more attendants on the floor.

Ordered a skip meal, seafood linguine, received no cream sauce, but it was incredibly oily. Got 2 shrimp, 2 mussels, and the shredded salmon. When i first started ordering this dish you would get 4-5 shrimp, 4 mussels and 4 decently sized pieces of salmon, and a decent portion of pasta with good sauce. Today i received a meal not worthy of the name seafood pasta. No flavour, no sauce, small amount of seafood. Hopefully next time you do better. Editted: ordered meal at 223pm received at around 245pm, at 1235am, 9 hours later, i was violently ill with food poisoning. Looking back the shells on the mussels were cracked open. Im now concerned that the mussels were not fit for serving. I will be contacting the casino immediatly in the morning.

Bingo is okay except for the live music that comes from the restaurant. Makes it difficult for both the caller and the players to hear one another. Wish Bingo was offered more than just Fri, Sat, Sun.

Beautiful park for baseball and other activities. As we were there for a baseball tournament (considered an "event") so we were allowed to camp there at a cost of $16.50/night. Lovely facilities with a beautiful 3.2km path along the perimeter of the island. Washrooms and garbage kept up nicely.

It's an island not a park. The design of the park is good. There are a few big sport fields around the road. If you are a visitor, you may drive a little half round of this island. There are many parking and washroom along the road. We go there in the late evening so we didn't see any wild life. If you have time, I think there are a good trail goes around the whole island. I see people using bikes to stroll around. It may take some time for a round stroll.

Safe, well maintained park I love coming to Mac Park for a morning blade. Beautiful venue for soccer and ball. Great paved running path. Hockey arena.

Great location for sports. We've attended the BC youth rugby 7s tournament here the last 4 years. Super jealous that Kelowna doesn't have anything comparable. No wonder they call themselves the tournament capital! Good job, Kamloops:)

This park’s a full-on activity hub. You’ve got soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a skatepark, disc golf, and even a big indoor sports centre. I liked the 3.1 km paved loop — great for walking or rollerblading, and it passes through some peaceful riparian areas with birdwatching spots. It’s family-friendly and well-maintained, with lots of free parking. Downsides? No dogs allowed, which might be a dealbreaker for some, and it can feel a bit too busy during tournaments or summer weekends. Some areas could use more shade or seating. Still, it’s one of the most versatile parks in town.

Lovely walking trails, lots of wildlife and great sporting facilities

I've taken to walking here daily and it is a great place to start getting active. Always clean, and very well looked after. I like that there are several public washrooms available and several different options for how far you want to walk.

There are quite a few trails here. Most are steep so be ready to go up. The view from the top was great and I felt a good sense of accomplishment when I made it up. We took the main viewpoint trail. It took about 1 hour to go up, hang out a bit at the top, then go down. I would not take my kids. They would have complained a lot. It is all up! There was parking, it was easy to find, there was a bathroom and garbage can at the base of the trail and this was a good trail to try if you are looking for a good little hike and aren’t from town - it was easy to find and it is well marked, you won’t get lost.

A great walk with stunning views. You can choose your difficulty level. Watch out for trail bikes coming down. Easiest way was to park off hillside. Beautiful views.

Lovely short and quiet hike. Trail was well kept. You get beautiful views of the town & the surrounding mountains. If you have time to spare, definitely come explore this place. Tower trail goes straight up btw.

Some very challenging hiking trails. Make sure you bring loads of water and a wide brimmed hat, because shade can be scarce. Some parts of the trail were quiet, mostly you could hear the highways.

Kenna Cartwright Nature Park is a gem for anyone into hiking, biking, or just soaking up views. The trail network is huge, with options for all skill levels, and the scenery — especially at sunset — is unreal. You get panoramic views of Kamloops, the rivers, and even Kamloops Lake from some spots. It’s dog-friendly too, which is a bonus. Downsides? Some trails are poorly marked, so it’s easy to get turned around if you’re new. Also, parts of the park are pretty exposed, so bring water and sun protection. Still, it’s one of the best places in Kamloops to get outside and feel like you’re miles away from the city.

This is the place to hike if you want an all-encompassing view of Kamloops from above. The trail doubles as a service road to the cellular towers on top of the mountain. Thus it is wide, smooth, and impossible to veer off course. The trail is very short but the gradient is steep all the way up the mountain. It's a hike that promises great rewards for little time and effort. Highly recommended.

Lots of trails to choose from, beautiful views. Glad I decided to try it out!

So disappointing. Was in town for a wedding, decided to end the night at the casino. A couple groups of us went, the second group arrived at 120am. Approached the bar & was told last call was done at 130am. Started ordering for the group, got bounced to a different bartender bc one wanted to cash out, pass on the order and then was told sorry, cant serve you anymore its 130am. It was implied that they wanted to avoid more work for themselves. Tried a couple slot machines after and both smelled like spoiled food. Bizarre experience. Kamloops is cool though.

The person taking id was unfriendly. We always greet people positively. So we didn't stay long

Had lots of fun, lots of bonus games and a great lunch! Highly recommend!

Very nice customer service and the setting was clean, the choices of restaurants within the casino.

While playing poker, the dealer made a mistake and gave the turn to one of the guys he knew from before. That player took advantage of being the last to act and raised, even though he should have been the first to check or raise. We noticed the mistake, and the dealer admitted it was his fault, but no one did anything about it. The dealer was also shuffling the cards by hand, which is unusual since other casinos use machines for that. This is the worst casino I’ve ever been to.

Nice Staff + wish IT was Easier 2 Win though

Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is very uplifting.

Green heart of Kamloops! A beautiful Riverside Park that’s perfect for all ages! The water park is a great spot for kids to cool off in the summer, and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables in the shady areas for a relaxing break. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a lovely place for a walk. Don’t miss the Rose Garden and the peaceful Japanese Garden — they add a special touch to the park. A must-visit in warm weather!

🌿 River Side Park 🌿 River Side Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend time outdoors. The walking trails along the river are clean and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing stroll or a morning jog. The greenery and open spaces make it ideal for family picnics, kids’ playtime, or just sitting by the water to enjoy the view. There are plenty of benches and shaded areas to relax, and the calm sound of the flowing river adds to the park’s charm. It’s also a great spot for photography, casual gatherings, and enjoying fresh air away from the busy city. Overall, River Side Park is a refreshing escape into nature — quiet, scenic, and enjoyable for all ages. 🌳✨

Riverside Park in Kamloops is an absolute gem! We visited in the summer and had an amazing time. The park was full of life, families, kids, and people enjoying the beautiful weather. It offers stunning views of the river and has a clean, well-maintained beach that’s perfect for relaxing. The atmosphere is vibrant and peaceful at the same time. A huge thanks to the city government and park management for keeping this place so clean, safe, and welcoming. If you’re around Kamloops, this is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Riverside Park in Kamloops is a beautiful riverside spot with walking trails, playgrounds, and a splash pad—perfect for families. The views of the Thompson Rivers are stunning, and summer concerts add a lively vibe. Parking can get busy, and shade is limited in some areas. Overall, a clean, relaxing park worth visiting — I’d rate it 4/5 stars.

A beauty of a park for everyone. We visited the park early September. There are many large old trees to sit under for shade from the hot sun, its close by the river and has a long walking path alongside it. I was told there is live entertainment each evening during July and August.

Awesome place to play, watch and have fun in the splash park. They have an updated playground that is wheelchair accessible. The water park is so much fun. We stayed and watched the sunset. It was beautiful. Would definitely come back

Excellent amenities, busy with lots going on, this is a great gathering place. Great people watching, lots of entertainment, and a lot of shade on hot summer days. There was even a concert when I was there on a Thursday! There is a water park, limited parking, a swimming beach area that is sectioned off so it is a safe place to swim in the river, paved trails and much more.

Beautiful lake close to Kamloops, easy lake access and boat dock for boats an kayaks. Big lake , downfall always someone driving to fast making huge waves close to SUP s and kayakers :( . One my fav places to spend the day .

Stayed at the provincial park campground. Very clean and relatively quiet. Roads in campground paved and each site is gravel. Has a wonderful playground for kids. Nice big campsites and lots of little trails. Lake is very nice and calm. Really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent place to camp out.

Absolutely gorgeous lake and fantastic campground. One of our favs! Beautiful day use area and beach. Pit toilets. Clean drinking water. Great playground.

Beautiful. Nice level RV space. Toilets not very clean , but ...very very pretty and a kind young men at the gate.

Public place to have a good time with friends or family. The facilities are good except the washroom which wasn’t up to standard. It’s also free to use. The map may tell you it’s closed but you should find out yourself

Lac Le Jeune is a peaceful and pretty lake, located within a Provincial Park of the same name in British Columbia. Beautiful at Sunrise and Sunset, otherwise it is quite average. I am uploading two photos taken at Dawn.

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 had a most enjoyable experience at the winery. We were passing through Kamloops and saw details of the winery. We hadn't booked, and received a very hospitable reception, and had a great time learning about the grape and the different wines as well tasting the different wines. Many thanks for making part of our trip in Canada such fun, and we're enjoying the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot.🥂

My Fiancé and I stopped here on our way back to Calgary. We were earlier than expected and Dr. Doug rushed to accommodate us right away. He was knowledgeable and passionate, everything you want in a Winery host. Not to forget the wines had a unique and wonderful flavour. I highly recommend Dr. Doug’s service and wine!

We had a really great experience here recently! Our group of six dropped in for a wine tasting and left with a big box full of wine! Many of us had never done a wine tasting and everyone left with smiles and new memories 😊 especially my partner's Oma who's been wanting to go to a winery for years! It was also extra nice of the young man to let us pick some apricots (Oma was very happy to have her pockets full of apricots to snack on in the car :D) Thanks Sagewood winery for the hospitality!

Amazing, cute family run winery. Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area to check out. We did our tasting with Nick, who was very welcoming and passionate about the wines. Amazing wine and great service, couldn't ask for anything more.

Absolutely delicious wine you can only buy here! Unique experience with tasty wine and a very pleasant owner, also a large selection! Dog friendly!

My tour group of eight enjoyed their wine tasting experience with Doug very much. Doug's hospitality extended to providing a vineyard tour. Lots of positive comments.

Great day for a Wine Tasting at Sagewood a family run Winery. Our Host Shelley, provided wonderful info about various wines, with great family stories. Purchased 2 Merlot, 1 White Ortega, and Sparkling Wine. All 3 of us loved this Winery and purchased on the spot.

Merritt downtown is a tourist destination. There is a very easy to find Visitor information. They provide a walking map to find Country & Western's Walk of Fame. The stars are framed upright, with handprint & signature (unlike Hollywood where you find them in a sidewalk). Some nice little shops and a bandshell that may have live music on weekends. Quaint little town but don't need more than a day or two stopover. It was 35-38C in July. Stay hydrated.

Super friendly staff! Cute nostalgic place with some souvenirs, local products, and donated knickknacks for sale. They also serve ice cream and have space for picnics out back.

Free charging here for your Tesla if the Tesla Chargers are out of order like today. You just need the standard adapter that came with your car.

we dropped in for information and were offered free coffee, lemonade and delicious home made baking (while it lasts). Lovely and knowledgeable staff, nice gifts made locally. A chance to meet some of the locals and start your trip to the interior with a friendly small town welcome.

Absolutely wonderful people, easily the most welcoming, friendly, and helpful info centre I have been to - which is saying something, as I've only ever had positive experiences with info centres! The ladies here really go above and beyond; they even, very kindly, mailed me something overnight when I forgot it behind after using the centre's bathroom, to ensure I would get it before I moved on to my next destination!

Amazing tourist info place with free lemonade and interesting things to see and buy. Stopped here to use the wash room (single stall) with the family and there was plenty to keep the interest while waiting my turn. :)

Extremely helpful. Benches in the back surrounded by a flower garden. Multiple picnic tables. Free wifi. Nice little spot.

A wonderful little museum with lots of beautiful artifacts! The exhibits are well-curated and offer a great glimpse into the Nicola Valley’s history. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the welcoming receptionist makes the visit even more pleasant.

On a visit before I went north.

More than just a display of the past, the museum actively engages the public through rotating exhibits, school programs, and special events. Whether you're visiting Merritt for the first time or reconnecting with your roots, the Nicola Valley Museum & Archives is a welcoming place to learn, reflect, and appreciate the diverse stories that shaped this unique region.

I wandered in on a whim - (I was in town for a wedding and was killing a couple of hours) - and quite happily spent well over an hour here. The museum gallery is very well laid out by Era and subject, and includes a wide range of artifacts and stories of Merritt and the Nicola River Valley. I'm a Historian and retired museum curator, and although this museum only briefly touches my field I will plan another trip up from the Coast (by appointment if necessary) so that I may ask to see their reserve collection and archives.

Really good lots to see the pics are a socket set big

Nice simple local museum. Staff were friendly, typical exhibits for small town.

Small but well curated collection of items and provides an accessible view of local history.

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.

A very well maintained campground. We went here for a night with kids. The campsite is very clean and spacious. The washrooms at the campground are equipped with flush toilets and are hygienic. Night sky view is amazing as the trees in campsite are spaced. The lake has a very nice beach and a great day out picnic spot with groundhogs roaming around in the park. All in all a great peaceful place to be at.

Walking in this beautiful park during off-season is so peaceful and calming. The park attendants have done an amazing job of keeping the place clean and natural. I also love the fact that I am a senior , and they have some outhouses open in each loop.

The campground was so beautiful! The park rangers were super sweet and helpful which made our stay more enjoyable. There was a large group that was VERY loud during quiet hours and playing music late into the night. They were so loud that four different parties had complained about them. They also left food out which is a big no no when camping with the risk of bears. I applaud the park rangers for how well they handled the situation judiciously by removing the group from the campground.

Looking for an amazing Provincial Park camping spot? You have to go visit Monck! We arrived mid-day and the check-in staff was so friendly and kind. We went and set-up our site and we luckily got one with a view to the lake that had a little path down to a beach. Everything was clean and well-kept! The site was on the larger side which was great! The facilities were well maintained and clean. The park staff came by to ensure we were all set-up okay and came around later asking if we needed more firewood. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short as I came down with food poisoning but we want to come back for a full stay soon!

Super nice campground. All the toilets (including the outhouses) are flush toilets and kept very clean (just be aware there aren't showers). The site hosts are all lovely. Unfortunately our trip was very bad timing because it was in the middle of a heat wave (38°!), their water system was having issues so it wasn't clean water (okay for washing dishes but not okay for ingesting) and the lake had toxic algae blooms so swimming wasn't recommended. All of these things are obviously out of their control and not permanent problems. The only reason I took one star is because I wish the spots were more shaded.

One of our favorite places to camp (if not our top fave). Hosts are awesome and friendly, everything is always clean and well cared for, sites have space and trees between, noise curfew is well enforced to make it a great experience for families and those who enjoy a quieter setting. The algae bloom was cleared when we got there which was amazing!

The lake has algae in it that makes it unsafe to swim and fish when it is blooming. If you are planning on booking a site here and want somewhere to fish and swim, I would suggest booking elsewhere. We went while it was about 35°C weather and had to go to other lakes each day which took away from the camping experience. Other notes: - The tap water also unfortunately had manganese in it making it unsafe for consumption. - The campsites do not have many trees so the sites get a lot of sun. I would suggest bringing a tarp or multiple tarps and a lot of rope just to help make some shaded spaces on your site. - The park staff/rangers were very helpful and nice. - The lawn/beach/picnic area is beautiful and would be perfect for lawn games.

Christie Falls is not just a destination, it’s an experience. The journey through the forest is adventurous and thrilling, with steep slopes, narrow paths, and rope sections that demand both caution and excitement. The trail is definitely treacherous in parts, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Every step through the rugged terrain builds anticipation, and then, out of nowhere, you’re greeted with the breathtaking view of the falls. The cascading water surrounded by lush greenery is absolutely mesmerizing. It feels untouched, wild, and pure, a perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. It was also amazing to witness rock climbers scaling the cliffs nearby, adding to the vibrant and adventurous vibe of the area. Christie Falls is one of those places that make you feel truly alive. If you enjoy hiking, a bit of adrenaline, and spectacular views, this spot should be high on your list. Highly recommend taking the journey, nature doesn’t get much better than this.

WARNING June 1st 2025. GRIZLY BEAR spotted living in the large cave at bottom of the falls. ANOTHER BEAR (unknown kind) living in the smaller cave at the bottom of the falls.

The hike from the trailhead to the falls is really two separate sections. The first portion is ~1km from the trailhead to the cliff. This portion has had some recent maintenance as numerous fallen trees have been cut and moved away from the path. This portion also contains small creek crossings with some small crafty bridges created to assist. Second portion from the cliff down is a more challenging section. This portion begins with ropes to assist down this steep section. I recommend that you do not bring a big dog or small Children down this portion. This was too steep for my Bernese Mountain Dog to attempt. 4X4 to the trailhead recommended. The road get worse the further you travel, and contains 1 relatively steep uphill section.

Absolutely gorgeous place a little bit of a harder hike in near the end of the trail. The road for the last 20km is worse than a logging road, but worth it.

This was a great hike. Keep your eyes 👀open for a white sign that says "Christie Falls" Just before the turn. Good parking, short walk in over the streem crossings then down a steep short section to the falls. Or stay up top too and walk to the end 🐕. The trail is recommended for people that have climbing gear or are decent free climbers for the short section. Otherwise just amazing. I wish we packed a bigger lunch. 😊

The hike was fun and interesting. You have to climb down to the waterfall using ropes and vice versa. However, the waterfall itself was underwhelming with little water coming down. Probably because it was the end of the summer. Maybe if we go here earlier it might have been better. Still, it’s a place worth to visit. *Update: I went here again in late spring and the waterfall was fantastic!! Pictures below.

The drive in to the trail head was more challenging/off roady than we expected. I wouldn't attempt it unless you have an SUV or other 4 wheel drive vehicle. The actual hike is pretty easy and short bur requires climbing down a very steep clifr with the assistance of ropes that have been tied by previous visitors. Still some amazing views from the top of the falls if you arent up for the scramble down/up.

Review Date: July 22nd, 2015 Interested in Canadian history, eh? On the strange and long journey through Canada, I didn’t expect us to end up at a Museum dedicated to Princeton and the surrounding area. We headed to Princeton for a few days before making that long trek home. While there, my cousin’s wife took us around to show us the little town. We ended up at this museum and learned a bit more about Canada. This museum, despite the small-looking size outside, offered a ton of information and historical artifacts on the inside. I was astounded by the amount of cool antique objects and small replicas that the small museum held. It was really cool to look over and learn about not just the history of another country but the story behind the local area. Compared to some other museums that I have been to, this one felt homely and welcoming. The few staff members made us feel really welcomed and answered any questions we had. Not sure what else to say about this place. It was a nice little history stop in our long journey. If you find yourself in Princeton with an afternoon free and you got a hankering for learning, this place won’t disappoint.

Very lovely collections of minerals and fossils. Did find it to be lacking in information compared to other small town museums I've visited but definitely still worth visiting if your in the area

If you are interested in Canada history, This is an amazing place! I wondered here around 4 hours, enjoyed all treasures on display. I learned many facts about the the town story, pioneers, mining, and the crazy gold rush. I will bring my friends here to enjoy the history of Princeton and District's unique heritage and culture.

Talk about a hidden gem! We were just looking for shade to park in and happened upon this little museum in the core of a quaint little town of Prinction and I was so glad I went and took a look! They have a huge collection of rock from multiple different people on lone to them. They have a ton of stuff from the history of the local area and a bunch of stuff from the old HBC fur trade company. Lots of knowledge tucked away here. I highly recommend check this place out with your family or friends. Don’t forget to walk around outside too the have so old fire trucks and mining equipment too!

Thank you! The gentleman here was very knowledgeable and friendly. Entry by donation. Very compact with so much fun stuff! Free postcards as well. Stop by if you can!

Came through to see it but arrived too late in the day. We will be back though! Edit: One of the staff spotted us digging fossils on a hill and invited us in to see the collection. What a treat! The Pollard collection is a must see for anyone with any interest in geology or paleontology. Staff assisted us in our fossil hunting trip and directed us to several great locations. Managed to find us some decent flora fossils and one fantastic insect wing specimen!

Cool museum with pertinent facts and a lovely Player piano! Its free, they just ask for a donation.

Has a wonderful time at the Princeton Golf Club today. We stopped in Princeton for 2 nights to camp/golf while on our way to Creston. We camped at the Municipal RV/Campsite (right across the highway from the golf course). The attendant at the club house was very nice and was able to get us a tee time for the next morning at 7:45. Good thing because it was HOT! We were paired with local members Dee and Frank, who were both very kind, patient and great golfers. Frank let my husband know the quirks about each hole and even gave us some course history. We enjoyed their company very much. After our round, we enjoyed a great lunch at Divots.

Beautiful spot. Great golf course but the wifi sucks.

We were there for 3 days and enjoyed the RV park and the golf course except for the poor timing of watering the course and the greens. All the course sprinklers during the rounds that we played in the mid afternoon were running. There was also a ladies tournament running just ahead of us and they were dodging the sprinklers also. We asked the pro shop about this and we were told that they couldn't shut them off as this was up to the greens keeper. Some of us have been golfing a long time and never experienced this on a course before. So between getting wet, dodging sprinklers and putting on greens that were just punched and sanded with rocks in it , this made our little getaway a big disappointment. Also no discount given.

Wing night was excellent! The service was great and those servers were busy and always came to our table with a smile!

• Staff are clueless, sitting in my RV in +37 Celsius (98 Fahrenheit), AC on, the guy is going around turning off breakers, because somewhere a breaker tripped. • That was the only time I saw any employees. • Site was fairly level. • Site was tight, very, very close to neighbors. • It’s basically a parking lot with services. • If you want a nice quiet campground, this is not the place for you. • Hard to enforce rules when the camp host is one of the ones partying all night. • Showers are fairly clean, and adequate pressure, you get 5 minutes for $1.00. • WIFI was slow, Rogers worked great. • Would not stay here again.

Great track. Some tough holes but overall a nice golf course.

Young lady nartial or worker was do rude.. when I approached her to ask where us the next hold.. 13... because I was out the route 10m to come to the worker she was on Dr eange side.

Such an amazing experience! We had a little zipper with us and Fish & Eggs did an amazing job with him! Looking forward to the next time when we can do more lines!

Booked the morning of for 2 of us to do the full 6 line tour. Loads of fun, and the only thing you need is bravery to make the first step off the platform. Things that help are a strap to keep glasses on your face, keeping hair tied back under your helmet so you get a clear view, clothing with zippered pockets to avoid dropping items, and the ability to do a short hike back up to the top when done. Absolutely worth the price, and a terrific adventure to add to your to-do list!

Would recommend this place to anyone. Staff was amazing and was great to see the sights. Lots of beautiful views

Awesome experience! Views were fantastic. Kudos to guides Twig and Vulture! They were great - explained everything in detail, had awesome personalities, even went extra with my son that got cold feet last minute. Highly recommend. Just a heads up that the road is no longer paved about 1km coming up to the location.

Loved it. It seems kinda like a goofy thing to do, but the views are gorgeous, and it's damn fun flying through the air. The staff are wonderful tour guides as well as extremely safety conscious and thorough. I'll definitely bring visiting friends/family on this very cool adventure, at least so I can do it again and again and again. Luv it!

I'm scared of heights so decided to conquer my fear of it by going on the bucketlist lines.. the highest and longest/fastest lines they had. I loved it! And will definetly be going back the next time im in peachland to do all 6 lines.

Great place. Highly recommended. Just be prepared to drive for about 3 km on unpaved road.

Very interesting place to learn about parrots. The keeper, Ray, gave very interesting facts about parrots and opens the eyes of visitors about the sad fact of deteriorating number of these birds. I'm so glad to learn about the program that this place run in caring for the parrots. Must visit place when in Peachland, BC.

Fantastic place. But don't come here if you're expecting a zoo. And if you're upset about birds being caged that's not what is happening here. It's run by a fantastic couple who will explain everything and teach you quote a bit about parrots. They're all rescues because of how many unwanted parrots there are in Canada alone. Without parrot island I suspect many of these birds would be abused or dead. It's open to public as birds are very expensive. You're coming here for a nice educational experience and to support a good cause. You get to see what you're supporting too. Think of it like you're donating to a charity, but you know exactly where your money is going. I saw some other comments about the birds biting, they tell you before you enter DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS NEAR THE CAGE. If you got bit and posted a negative review, you're actually just an idiot. Follow the rules, learn something new and donate to a good cause.

Thumbs up for the owners who make this possible. This is not a zoo nor attraction, but a real safehaven for neglected parrots. The owner himself would prefer all these birds in the wild and that no humans would have them as pets. These animals are to beautiful and intelligent to cage. Its nice to get the chance to see them and interact with them, but you feel that we shouldnt bring them up this way.

I visited the sanctuary pre COVID ( as they have been closed to the public since that time because Avian flu is high in there area). The facility is huge housing meny Large parrots. the parrots seem to be in adequate cages with lots of fresh food and water. This place is ran by an elderly couple. Very friendly and full of information . I can't imagine having to care for this meny birds. They are amazing and deserving of more help which they don't have. I only wish I lived closer.

Visited Parrot Island during our summer vacation with the kids. The owners are very nice people, passionate about the birds, and are very informative about what they are doing. This is a rescue facility and its amazing how the birds are affected and need to be loved and treated. They all have their own personalities and made us as parents laugh and the kids giggle and dance with them. We would definitely recommend people go see the birds, donate to the cause of the sanctuary, and become more educated about parrots. I agreed 100% with the owners; they should be left in the wild. Not as a pet

The family that runs this place is doing it for a good cause. The parrots are lovely creatures and misunderstood to be raised as pets. In reality you'll learn that these lovely creatures belong in the wild and millions become household pets; only to be given up later, as they can only be loyal to one individual person. The parrots loved us and tried to talk to us, that was a highlight of our trip.

So sad to see those birds caged up. I'd want to pluck my feathers too. Birds are funny and affectionate, but watch your fingers with some.

We had a great experience in this winery and food truck! We had an amazing tasting and later we ate a snack and had a delicious and creative milkshake! Recommended to visit, they have picnic tables, chairs to enjoy the view, wine is good, specially the reds.

Sleepy sundays are perfect for cruising and enjoying our backyard… when in West Bank it’s a Pepper Pot Grill West Kelowna and Paynter's Fruit Market/Off The Grid Organic Winery kinda day! Common theme: nostalgia! Off The Grid Winery is one of our favourite places! 100 year + working farm, fully organic approach, craft small batch, free range critters, very picturesque and has a garden food truck! Nestled beside the Glen Canyon, this beautiful farm has been in the Paynter family for over 5 generations. Mid elevation, western slope and coupled with old world traditional organic farming delivers stunning wine production and an unique profile in the Valley. Maintaining its casual, unpretentious, wine-country vibe paired with exceptional wines and gorgeous views-it’s definitely a destination winery! Perfect for families, couples, weddings, wine connoisseurs or anyone wishing to enjoy a slow pace in our fast ever-changing world… this is a “MUST VISIT”! 🇨🇦🏆🍇🍷🥂🐐🐓🐑 Thank you for the great tasting and chat Karen!

Nice tasting, we liked the wines! We would have loved to enjoy a glass of Rosé afterwards in their beautiful sunny picnic area (with a foodtruck and goats), but unfortunately, they don‘t serve their wines per glass - they only sell bottles or tasting flights. (Too much for a driver…)

Such a cute spot with a big backyard and lots of animals 🐐🐓 — perfect for families with kids. Loved that they even have non-alcoholic cocktails 🍹! Only minus: tastings aren’t free here.

I love Off the Grid! A small, authentic family owned winery with organic wine and so many cute animals! Every visit there is a truly wonderful experience. All of their wines I've tasted so far were fabulous and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My favourite wine is the orange Gewürztraminer :) Be sure to check out the food truck, it's super nice to sit there, enjoy a bottle of wine and have a delicious meal. Also: There is the best outdoor yoga on Sunday mornings at the winery!

The property is a great place for a family wanting to wine taste and entertain kids. As a parent, the combination of wine tasting and active feeding of the sheep, goats and chickens is spectacular! My kiddo absolutely loved feeding the animals all well my wife and I enjoyed sipping wine! A must stop at winery if you've got the kids with you!

Great wines tasting. Love the « Frozen » one! Super sympatic host. Nice farm animals to see. Great visit. Thanks :-)

Hardy Falls is a lovely spot to visit. The falls aren’t very big, but they run year-round, which makes it a nice stop in any season. In September, you can see lots of salmon swimming up the river, which is really special to watch. A peaceful place to enjoy nature and a nice short walk to the falls.

perfect little easy walk to the falls on a gravel path. You cross over multiple bridges with a beautiful stream meandering the whole walk. Takes approx 20 mins to the waterfall. The falls run all year & in mid Sept to Oct the Kokanee salmon are spawning. Parking is free, no fees & well maintained.

Easy walk. Shaded. Good trail with several bridges over Peachland Creek.

Great stop on the road, falls are about 5 mins away from the parking lot. But the coolest thing is to see the big salmons on the creek, so beautiful!!!

To get to the falls, there is a good little hike that can be done by very young kids or older folks. It's not much of a view really but it's still a nice time to spend with nature.

I enjoy visiting here in the summer and this was the first time going in the late winter. It looks so different with the trees empty and many frozen water formations including the falls. The different winter light also makes the canyon look different. As always a short pleasant stroll.

Very easy walk to reach the falls, it takes less than 15 minutes. We crossed several bridges and took the time to read the tags sharing some facts about the flora and fauna. Be advised that there are very few parking lots available at the entrance to the trail. For more pictures visit my IG (@kelledstyle) :-)

A lovely camping spot with a spacious beach with big sandy spots. Camping spots are super spacious and would fit big tents. No shower and the toilet doesn’t have running water though. There was a water well for washing dishes (not sure if it was potable). There are more beaches in the area if you’d like more privacy. 10-15 mins away there is a small town with basic groceries and gas station. The nights reveal plenty of stars, it’s amazing! The highway is a little close so at night it might be disturbing if you’re a light sleeper.

This was an incredibly well kept campsite. The bathrooms were very clean and the park rangers were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Our sites were clean and almost all had a little path down to the river for private access, the day use area was easily accessible as well. Personally I did not find the highway noise disruptive at all, we will definitely be back here to camp again!

Nice little campground. Water is normally clear as in my video. Unfortunately, overnight it turned muddy brown apparently from a slide. Nice swimming holes. No showers or flush toilets.

Was a great place to swim and sun. Has a very nice sandy beach like area with both sun and shade. While the river was very low at the time I was there people were still cliff jumping in a couple of deep areas.

Offering both day use and camping, this is more than a place to take a rest or stop for the night, majestically tall pine trees greet you at the end of the parking lot. More than a dozen well-kept picnic tables are about 20 feet from the your parking spot. Walking down to the river is a sandy beach where you can get a sun tan, listen to the water running over the rocks. If you swim across the river you can climb Bromley Rock and jump into the water, about a 15 foot drop. Even if you don't like swimming or jumping it is fun to watch other people do it!

A very nice small park, beach is nice, sand is soft, there is aslo trees along the beach you can find shade. The most amazing here is there is very big rocks on top of the river, there is always people there diving. The wash room there is also very clean.

Great little area to hang out on the small sandy beach to catch a tan or dive off Bromley rock into the glacial lake to cool down and have some fun. Quite a pretty hidden place off the hwy with campground close by. Had lots of fun!😃😃😃

I don't think it's quite up to the standards that we had in other provincial parks. Firewood bundles are expensive. Showers are barely warm. The location is great being right on the lake.

This park is located on Hwy 97 and is easy to find. There are two campgrounds at this We camped at the North campground and hiked along a very nice lakeside trail to the South Campground. It is a rather long walk, but the trail is at lake level and is well maintained. North Campground is on a terraced hillside with large level sites spaced well apart to provide privacy. Clean washrooms with showers are available in both campgrounds. The South campground has mostly small sites with little or no privacy but some great views. Boat launch, playground, and amphitheater are at the South campground. The showers are free and there is parking available at the shower houses. Drinking water taps are available at both campgrounds. Good shade in both campgrounds.

The lake and views were good. The south campsite is very disappointing 90% of the spots are super crammed together. No privacy and the spot we had was over grown and paved pad was 2' narrow per side because it needed to be sweeped, trimmed back and debris shoveled away S41. North side is a lot more spaced out but walk down the hill to get to beach.

This is a beautiful campground. Lots of big beautiful trees. Very well maintained. Lots of separation between sites so each campsite has good privacy from their neighbours. Great fire pit and picnic tables at each site. Clean washrooms and showers. No power or water on site. I suggest you bring your own water as the last 2 years we have been here there is a boil water order. Great activities are close by if you want to spend time in the area. Lots of great wineries in the area to explore. Kettle Valley Bike Trail head is a short drive away. Many orchards fruit and vegetable stands selling fresh local produce. Beautiful lake with beach access at the campground for campers only so it's not over crowded. Water is crystal clear. Awesome for swimming. Nice walking trail connects the North and South campgrounds. Beautiful views across the water of the Mountain Range. Great water access for paddleboarding and other water sports.

I wouldn't want to pitch a tent here, or even if I had an rv, unless you like having your neighbors watch your every move, there is no privacy, I'm guessing peeing on a tree would be impossible since there is 100 campsites on .6 acres of land (small exaggeration). But to each their own, maybe you like watching your neighbors like a TV show unfolding. 😀 road in is pavement. Winter camping is 13 dollars, bathroom was not maintained. Toilet needed cleaning before use. Hopefully the money would go towards a good snow plow to keep the road maintained. Was peaceful for a late nov camping trip

Really would help to have more signage, rating the different parts of the trail, distance etc. We did the entire loop, but once we climbed to the top, and discovered we couldn't go right and climb done around the lake, rather then backtrack, we continued on to the furthest part and came around to join a FSR back to the start. LONG hike. 26.66 kms, with over half in a steady rain. Beautiful views at the Top!

Wow the fall colours were amazing this day. (Oct. 15th, 2017) This park is located between Summerland and Peachland on Hiway 97. It is a great place to stop for a picnic or to camp out when you can get a spot! It overlooks Okanagan Lake and each site has great views. The day I took these shots the park was already being winterized. There are restrooms, picnic tables and great walking paths. It is worth stopping anytime of year when the skies are blue. You'll see eagles and other raptures in this area and plenty of song birds too. I put a March and April shot in as well so even with clouds it's pretty spectacular!

An excellent morning out while visiting the Penticton area! It’s always a great time to experience a historic train like this. The views along the route are fantastic, be sure to sit in the open cars on the valley side. The volunteers were great to chat with and they really have the whole operation running so smoothly.

->Fantastic steam engine excursion; Mid-ride disembarking process needs work<- Excited to get tickets for this excursion (how often do you get to ride behind a 1912 N-2-b class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive, built by MLW for CPR) Beautiful sound! Lovely engine! Ride was from about 10:30 - 12:15 There's a "valley side" or a "canyon/mountain side". Pick the valley side or else your view will be hill and looking across other people's heads towards the valley. You don't get the option to stand up/move/change seats during the ride or at the mid-way point. At the end of the line, the engine uncouples and goes around to the other end of the train. Riders are invited to disembark "for 10 minutes" (there's a porta-potty) to take photos with the engine. But there's only 1 exit for the entire train. It took almost the entire layover time just to get all the people off the train, so by the time you got off, you had to get back in line to get back on. And you won't get any pictures with the engine, there's too many people. That was ridiculous, really. I would have MUCH preferred the option to disembark BEFORE the train goes out halfway across the bridge (for photos) because the only way you can get a photo of the train on the bridge is to wait around for the next excursion and wait here to get your photos. I think this part of the trip requires a re-think. Had some trouble at the station too, there are a set of about 10 wooden stairs but there is no anti-slip/visual markings on the edges of the steps and my partner in his excitement, missed a step and fell hard. Yellow lines on the edges of the steps might have prevented this and many of the riders are older folk...so maybe a thought, eh?

What a great experience! The volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. We loved it! Very fun!!! Book open air, valley side for the best views. Bring a blanket. :)

Very fun. Nice views and the conductor that explains local history and sights during the ride is a nice touch. All crew was incredibly friendly and answer any questions you have. Good value for money, actually seemed cheap to me for what you get ($33/pp). Great way to spend a couple hours.

A fantastic ride through history! The Kettle Valley Steam Railway is such a fun and unique experience! You get to ride an old steam train through beautiful Okanagan scenery — vineyards, orchards, and even over a huge trestle bridge with amazing views. You can choose an open or closed carriage, and the ride is smooth and relaxing. The coolest part? They have themed rides like the Great Train Robbery, where actors on horseback actually “rob” the train, just like in the Wild West. Super fun for both kids and adults! After the ride, you can enjoy lunch and hang out at the station. It really feels like a trip back in time. Highly recommend it if you’re anywhere near Summerland, BC. 🚂💨

This is the second time that we’ve visited this place. It didn’t disappoint! The experience was great. Booking up the seats was easy and travelling in the open carriage was wonderful in the hot weather.

Visiting from England with local relatives. We were blessed with a beautiful day at ~26°. We arrived just after lunch. Lots of car parking space. Minimal queuing - purchasing tickets in advance recommended. There are options within 1. closed carriages (large sliding windows open to help bring the outside in) and 2. open sided carriages which might be a better option on a hot day. Our carriage was very comfortable and the large window gave a nice through draft to keep everyone cool. The wonderful conductor with his microphone in hand, educated us on the railways history. The stories of the prolific bank robberies; things of interest that we might expect to see in the trip including bears. They had been seen in the area earlier in the day. How exciting. They played some good old country music in the background. It was great! The tour lasted about 1.5 hours. With commentary and breathtaking scenery, I'd highly recommend. I thought it was good value for money. Sometimes they have staged 'robberies' acted out and I'd have loved that. There was a bear but it quickly disappeared up a nearby tree however, just looking out for them was also great fun and even the big kids on board were loving it all. At the top of the track at.the half time point the engine swaps around ready for the return leg of the journey. At this point you can get out and stretch your legs, take photos and have a photo taken for you of your group at the front of the engine by one of the crew. All.part of the service amd a lovely momento of the day. In a.nutshell, definitely recommend a visit. Kids and adults alike will love this railway adventure that transports you back in time almost, when hearing all of those great stories. No dogs allowed. Great gift shop Clean washrooms. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loads of parking space Reasonable ticket prices Great value for money. Awesome views. We also visited the dirty laundry winery for lunch before.this.trip, more about that next .... My photos don't do it justice, you have to go and see for yourselves. 🥰 Enjoy!!

Great hill, great terrain, and super fast lift lines. The triple chair especially. I have never had more than one person in front of me. Great variety of terrain, with some expert runs plenty of gladed skiing and it is a steep mountain. Ski patrol awesome, my daughter ended up with a spinal compression fracture they took great care of her we have been back many times since.

Hill was more than I was expecting. There were lots of nice steep pitches to keep you entertained. Snows was great, groomers were fast. With lifts in the mid 100s, I'll be hitting Apex up again.

For a skiing area with only 2 chairlifts, the amount of terrain accesed is absolutely huge! It feels more like a larger locals hill, not an international destination resort. The vibe is relaxed, the ticket pricing simple and clear, good steep runs at the top, friendly liftees, old school hand scanned tickets, beatiful views (you can see both Big White and mt Baldy from the top) . Would recommend to ski here for a couple days to try out all the runs.

Nice hill to go to if you are local. Not an easy hill! If you are new to snowsports, this might not be a hill to start on. Mostly groomed runs with lots of powder options.

Awesome rooms, awesome trails. Had a lot of fun definitely would do it again

We stayed for three nights in December of 2023. We could tell it had lots of potential, unfortunately the weather wasn't great for ski conditions at that point in the season. That said, the rooms in ski in ski out were amazing, the tubing was our favorite and the groomers were phenomenal. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious in the base area restaraunts. I hope to return for another trip with better snow and the skate loop open. *Returned December 2024 and had fun skiing the steeper terrain!

We went up at 3:30 wanting to skate in the loop that was open until 10pm. My boyfriend needed to rent skates and they told us that we could but we needed to return them by 4:00pm or 9am tomorrow. Because the skate loop is open until 10 we assumed there would be a drop box or someplace we could drop the skates off when we were finished with them as we were told on the phone. We travelled 2 hours from lake country to get there and with the lack of misinformation on the website and the cluelessness of the rental shop it was completely disappointing. For an activity that is open until 10pm there should be some sort of service open until then as well. We left extremely dissatisfied and disappointed.

Though a bit down a bumpy road from Kamloops, the trip is worth it. With roots as a working ranch, the Western theme fits right in. The whites, pinot noir were a delight and loved the 2018 Rose. Nice outdoor seating with great views. Bring a picnic in season.

Down the road from the impressive and imposing Monte Creek is another winery proving that Climate Change is greatly expanding the potential of British Columbia to sow grapes. This is Harper’s Trail, and I must first thank them for even being open on a chilly March afternoon. Another winery whose name escapes me (obviously) had yet to open for the season. Unlike Monte, Harper’s Trail was unknown to me. I had not seen or even heard of them before. I appreciate their use of traditional grape varietals, proving their sustainability at this latitude. And given the human race has ignorantly walked past the tipping point to stop global warming, this sustainability will be easier in a region growing each year. Yes, hundreds of millions of lives are in danger across the world given our irresponsibility towards manmade climate change, but at least we’ll be able to grow grapes in Alaska eventually. The winery itself is unpretentious and effective, a pastoral country theme with exposed natural wood all around. The view from outside is almost ominous, with distant mountains and massive empty blank fields. I enjoyed the wine as well, especially given they’re reasonably priced. There’s even a fantastic picnic area I wish we could have taken advantage of. Not only that, but my girlfriend got her bead (long story, she’s obsessed). Harper’s Trail is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming, and I recommend visiting Harper’s Trail after Monte, only because Monte can be a little overwhelming

We attended one of the music and wine events here this past summer. Really nice location, great music and delicious wine. We paired with our own picnic food so that was pretty good too :) surprised to hear that they are selling... ? hopefully the new owners will maintain the high standards.

Delicious wines and a beautiful location. You must try their Chardonnay if you were previously not a big fan. To be honest, all their wines are surprisingly phenomenal.

Great winery with lovely staff and delicious wines and a nice covered outdoor area and a dog friendly grass area

Winery with some history to it in Kamloops. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Found all the wines to be very crisp. Large fields surrounding the building are beautiful, however the building is very uninteresting.

Great wines served by an awesome crew. Bring a picnic and hangout on the patio after a tasting!
