The Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre in Golden BC offers an unforgettable experience with its captivating wolves. Visitors can join a 25-minute interpretive tour to learn about the wolves' role in restoring the ecosystem and the importance of wolf conservation. The knowledgeable staff also raise awareness about Canadian government practices, such as the use of poison in forests, and provide opportunities to support their cause by signing petitions.
Loved the experience here to be able to see the wolves. It was a little smaller than I was anticipating, but nonetheless it was a fantastic experience. We timed it well as we happened to be there as they brought a wolf back from a walk so we could watch them walk back through the park to their enclosure. The gift shop is full of wonderful souvenirs and I loved the t-shirt designs too, highly recommend for canine lovers!

Really nice place. All their wolves are rescued. Flora (one of their wolves) is basically a dog/wolf, super cute and well behaved, we were lucky enough to see her come back from her walk
Carolina J — Google review
5 minute stop at best for steep price of $60 for family of 4. Would not recommend unless you want to see 4 wolves behind a cage. They have total 6 wolves but all behind cage and can’t get near to get a good view. No tour no anything else. Go if you want to waste money. I personally love wolves and have been to other places but this was total waste. If the money is going towards the wolves I’ll feel like I donated something but I’m not sure how it’s used. Don’t waste your time and money. If you like wolves go somewhere else. This felt like a very sad zoo experience.
Sanjana B — Google review
Lovely little afternoon with our toddler and a chance to get up close to some beautiful wolves. The staff seemed very caring about the animals and very informative about them. We learned a lot. It’s not a big set up but sometimes it’s nice to just sit and take in the animals and go without the bells and whistles. Our toddler had a great time.
Emma M — Google review
I had an incredible experience at the Northern Lights Wolf Sanctuary in Golden. The passion and knowledge of the staff truly shine through every part of the visit. It’s clear how deeply they care about the wolves and their mission to educate the public about these animals. A special thank you for the opportunity to see and learn about Flora—absolutely stunning and full of personality. It was both humbling and inspiring to witness her presence up close. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication, hospitality, and for the important work you do. I left with a much greater appreciation for wolves and the wild spaces they depend on. Highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone visiting the area.
Andre D — Google review
I loved visiting so much. A very educational and incredible experience. You can tell they love the wolves of BC and want to protect them. Lots of info about culling and unsafe practices by the government I had no idea about! I loved having the chance to interact with Flora as well. @katjaspov for more of my favourite places 🥰

Visited last year. Paid I think $15 each entry (me & 1 friend). Had seen online that they have tours/speeches every hour to talk about the wolves. When we visited in May we were just given a piece of paper to read. When I asked about the talk they do they said they only do that on days when it was busy. There was at least 10 people there at that time. For $150 an hour seems they could do a 10 minute talk. My friend didn’t want to read the double paged A4 paper so she thought it was very cruel they were just in cages. I read the paper which did explain they go on massive walks off leash each day. So I then went and asked some questions which was great and interesting hearing the answers from the staff. Just wish they actually did a 10 minute talk every hour on the hour no matter how many guests. As I did kind of feel like I’d just paid to see some wolves sleeping in small ish cages
Natalie D — Google review
Waste of money....! Paid 70 for a family and was expecting a little thru the trail but it ended before it started 🤣 Its great appericiation for them for running that place but it should be free to watch as of its selection, We watch more wildlife on the road rather than paying them and watching 4 sick sleeping wolves in cages..! Wildlife should be left in wild place and not to be put into cages and run as a penny business for human greed..! Lady there was giving huge lecture about human destruction over forests and when i see the wolves, that was miserable.

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge is a charming covered timber-frame bridge that spans the picturesque Kicking Horse River. Situated near Spirit Square's vibrant flower gardens, this 46-meter-long bridge offers stunning views of the turquoise waters below. It holds the distinction of being Canada's longest freestanding timber frame bridge.
Beautiful wooden bridge right in the heart of Golden! The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge is a perfect photo stop with the river rushing below and mountains all around. Nice spot to stretch your legs, grab a coffee nearby, and enjoy the views. Solid craftsmanship and peaceful vibe — definitely worth a quick visit if you're passing through.
Chris — Google review
Excellent bridge lookout and walking trail in heart of Golden. There is no entrance fee. Ample parking space there is public washroom and a nice icream shop near it. There are lots of resting bench and nice trail along side the river on both sidefor walking, running, jogging or biking. Pets are allowed but on leash. The main entrance is well made lots of flowers and water fountain. The trail is not paved but stroller and wheelchair friendly. Over all its a highly recommended attraction if you are in Golden. Check out videos and images and follow me for more detail reviews.

A nice place to relax, with the river bubbling underneath. There are quite a few benches around, all donated. The day we were there, there was a steady stream of pedestrians but definitely not overcrowded.

Lovely way to spend your morning having coffee on a beautiful sunny cool morning in Golden British Columbia. But I like the most is that they offer RV parking in the CP parking lot a very short walk to the river
Pat D — Google review
What an amazing piece of architecture, and hard work! We loved reading the story behind the bridge, and picturing each hand that worked on it. Thank-you to all who had a part on this project. Definitely recommend to stop by the parking lot, and take the short walk across.
SB — Google review
The structure feels both grand and calming. Whether you're pausing mid-bridge to take in the turquoise water or simply soaking up the mountain air, it’s a moment worth savouring. The surrounding Rotary trails make it easy to extend your walk and explore more of Golden’s charm.
Daniel — Google review
Of you need to cross the river from Golden then this is the place of your walking out on your bike. Lots of room to navigate. Does a great job getting you safely and confidently over the river. Very good for photos too Connects to Golden's River Walk area Give this review a like 👍♥️ if your reading this review

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Nestled between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort offers a picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts. The resort boasts a wide range of activities including skiing, biking, and hiking trails along with various dining options. With 1,260 meters of vertical terrain, it features progressive inbounds skiing and is equipped with modern lifts servicing numerous runs, alpine bowls, and chutes spread over vast skiable terrain.
Absolutely an amazing experience. Get the pass...even if you use it once, it's worth it! The restaurant and gondola are closed at the moment, but riding up to go see Boo at the preserve is amazing. The staff are some of the best anywhere!
Jennifer B — Google review
Smaller resort so a lot less to do. If I was there for mountain biking or snowboarding I would probably give it a higher rating. I was there for an event and there was not much to do besides the event I went for. The gondola was closed, so that didn't help either. I could not find a pool and for the hot tub you had to book a time to go in, this was very strange, I could understand this maybe during COVID but on the regular. Hot tubs are for relaxing not a scheduled time in my opinion. The views are amazing, the food was decent. I was lucky enough to see Boo the Grizzly bear half way up the mountain. That was easily the best part of the resort. The mosquitoes are next level bad, if you go there in the summer just take a shower in bug spray before going outside, I went through almost a whole can over the weekend and walked out with about a dozen or so bites, way better then my friends who had forgot big spray for an afternoon and got dozens of bites each in a few hours. Again big spray, lots of it is a must. Overall worth a visit if you are in Golden or passing through for a night just don't expect it to have the amenities of a bigger resort. Last off the website does say this as well but there is no A/C, I didn't find this a problem but if A/C is a must for you, then keep looking for a different place. Don't think you will just keep the patio door open to cool off the room either, again the mosquitoes are next level and they will get past the screens.
Josh — Google review
The resort is great for biking and hiking . Winter sports should be excellent. However the chairlift only opens 0945 to 3.30 so if you are hiking high you would have a time restriction if you used the lift . This may mean you miss seeing the bear enclosure. The chairlift does need more time especially in summer when the Gondola is not operational. However the views are stunning
Lee J — Google review
Some of the best and most memorable skiing I’ve ever done happened on this hill. Amazing hill, lodges, and people. Please put this hill on your bucket list!
Matt B — Google review
Boo the Bear is adorable. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The kicking horse websites and organization is poor. The website says the chair lift doesn't start till 10. But also the tour starts at 10. But also the tour starts at 10:30. Very confusing. We arrived at 09:45 and bought a ticket and took a chair lift at 09:50. We arrived at the top at 10:13 and had already missed the start of the tour. Show up early and hope the lift is running, I guess! The tour actually ran from 10-past 11:30. It was fantastic but this place makes it hard to plan your day!
Allison W — Google review
Great place to visit as we were staying just down the road in an Airbnb. Be aware that in summer (we visited in September), the shops and lift do not operate on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The area however is very beautiful, even if you don't go in the ski season.
Samantha P — Google review
I love Kicking Horse ♥️ It has a great vibe. Terrain is for advance riders and skiers, a lot of fun runs. It's definitely the steepest mountain I've ever been. I spend 3 amazing days exploring and having the most fun!

We wanted to ride the gondola up to the mountain top restaurant for lunch. It was closed for maintenance. We had a coffee and ice cream while watching the ski lifts take bikers up and they rode the bikes back down the mountain.

Situated between Revelstoke and Golden, BC, the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre has recently undergone renovations and offers a variety of amenities and exhibits for visitors. The visitor reception desk provides essential information and maps, while there's also a charging station for electric cars. The center features historical artifacts and informative displays about the history of Rogers Pass and the surrounding area. Despite some exhibit closures possibly due to Covid-19 or staffing issues, the friendly staff are willing to answer questions.
This visitor centre was surprisingly well-renovated — clean, a pleasant little surprise in the middle of our drive. The washrooms? Spotless and unexpectedly serene with birds chirping — kinda felt like a fancy spa moment in the wild. We dropped by around 3pm in the summer, and while the vibe was peaceful, the mosquitoes were aggressive. Definitely bring bug spray.

Hiking Trails
The Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail in Mount Revelstoke National Park offers a serene and family-friendly experience. The short hiking loop takes you through a beautiful rainforest landscape, allowing you to walk among towering 500-year-old cedar trees. Interpretive signs along the route provide information about the local flora and fauna. Despite being temporarily closed due to snow damage, this stop is known for its easy access to British Columbia's famous old-growth cedars.
Nice boardwalk but only a small portion of the loop was open. It took about 15 min to walk through the open parts. Great large old cedar trees the smell is wonderful if you like cedar. Plenty of parking but can be tight for a larger RV or truck and trailer.
Adventure K — Google review
Easily accessible place right off the highway. Initially we were confused since the first spot to enter the path indicated it was closed but then to the left further in the parking we found the start of the boardwalk. It used to be a loop but due to the conditions in the forest, part of the boardwalk collapsed. Unfortunately people were stepped off the boardwalk to take photos near dome trees close to it. Signs indicated that is not allowed but some people are clueless. I visited it in mid-July so it’s busier than expected. The signs along the path offer a lot of information regarding fauna and flora. Highly recommend!
Catia L — Google review
This trail is on the way from Calgary to Vancouver. We found it when looking for a washroom. It takes only about 15 minutes to walk. Very easy, good for parents too. You can see old forest and big trees. Bring bear spray. A nice stop to rest during a long trip.
Rita L — Google review
Sep-2025: Second time coming here and it’s as beautiful as before! They did a lot of maintenance like installing brand new boards in most of the trail. Small part of the trail still closed for repair but you can still enjoy the beautiful giant cedars! There are plenty of parking and washrooms. Definitely worth a stop!
John B — Google review
Magical and peaceful walk through ancient giants We stopped at the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail just off the Trans-Canada Highway, and it was absolutely worth it. The boardwalk is short (about 500 m) but incredibly scenic—you're surrounded by massive, old-growth western red cedars that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The trail is well-maintained and easy for all ages—no hiking experience needed. It’s shaded, quiet, and full of earthy smells and birdsong. There are also little signs along the way that share interesting info about the forest and how old some of these trees are. It’s a quick stop (15–30 minutes), but it really leaves an impression. Perfect if you're passing through Revelstoke and want a break from the road.
Asaad A — Google review
Great stop for break on a road trip. Decent amount of good parking for rvs, trailers and cars. Clean washrooms and numerous picnic tables. Nice boardwalk around the big trees and good break from the traffic. No services here other than washrooms.

It was amazing to see Giant Cedars again. Half of the pass is closed , due to fire in 2021 but you can see enough to be amazed. We spent 20 minutes taking pictures of a mushroom 🍄 great walk, but have good shoes it is slippery
Ola B — Google review
You can find the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail about 30 kilometers from Revelstoke, B.C. The walk is about half a kilometer and takes you right into the heart of the forest in Mount Revelstoke National Park. Some of the trees found in the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail are at least 500 years old. This is such a beautiful location. I really recommend this place.

Mount Revelstoke National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Mount Revelstoke National Park, located just northeast of its namesake town, is a stunning 260-square-kilometer park offering wooded hiking paths, rainforest terrain, and breathtaking elevated views. Despite its relatively small size for a national park, it boasts diverse landscapes including old-growth rainforest with ancient red cedars and pine trees, steep mountains, and abundant plant and animal life.
An absolutely stunning place, the meadows in the sky parkway is a great twisty drive with viewpoints along the way and it brings you out to a panoramic view at the top. There are two small car parks at the top that fill up early - one for RVs and one for cars. It's popular because the summit is a short 1km hike from the car parks. The panoramic viewpoint is 100m from the road which you can park cars along one side of (but not the other). It is a beautiful view from here over the mountains and there is a nice bench. One problem we had was there is only one way onto the parkway and a booth with a single person controlled entry. We had a parks pass already but it seemed like many people didn't and decided this was a good time to have a discussion on the merits of the parks pass. Unfortunately there was no lane for drivers who already had a pass so although we were only 5 cars back it took about 15 minutes to get it. I think this is an oversight and could be managed better, but didn't spoil the drive.

Be prepared for cooler temps than down in the town of Revelstoke. Many gorgeous trails criss-crossing the top of the mountain. Picnic tables and pit toilets. Amazing wildflowers when we went in mid August. You cannot drive the last 1km, but the road is still available to walk up. My husband went up and said the view was fantastic. Even if you just stay near the parking lot it is still gorgeous and there are many trails to explore.
Catherine K — Google review
Fairly simple trails at the top of Mount Revelstoke that could be completed in ~4-5 hours. The trail is well maintained, but could get muddy under sub-optimal weather conditions. I had a great hike despite the rapid-changing weather conditions. The views at Jade Lake was a bit anti-climatic. If you aren't intenting to camp, stopping at the ridge between Miller and Jade lakes is sufficient. The ridge had by far the best view of the trail.
Kevin L — Google review
Beautiful mountain and park! You can drive almost right up to the summit (short, but fairly strenuous walk to the summit from parking lot). Unfortunately was hazy from wildfires when we visited, but it must be one of the most spectacular places imaginable on a clear day. We found a rare BC lizard on the mountain, couldn’t find the salamanders. Come for the views! Note there are also trails down the mountain at lower elevations with spectacular forests.

Stunning place. A little busy and had to line up at the park entrance to go up the mountain. It was about 45-60 min wait in the mid to late afternoon. When we got to the top it was nice and cool on a hot summers day.

We did a fantastic half day hike from about 2/3 of the way up to the top of the mountain. I highly recommend not driving all the way up - there are some really beautiful trails and very helpful park staff eager to help anyone with questions. Highly recommend!

A beautiful park to visit! Well worth the long trip up to the top of the mountain to see the amazing view and glorious mountain Flora and Fauna! Loved it!
Michelle D — Google review
The drive up to the top is spectacular! We did this drive in mid July and the wildflowers lining the road were beautiful. There were many hikes available along the way up, it was not congested with tourists, and parking was available in the middle of the day at the top. There was also a free shuttle up and down for those not able to make the short uphill hike to the summit. I would highly recommend this park and the sky meadow parkway for anyone who would like to enjoy the Canadian Rockies without crowds and with light to no hiking.

Great time on the pipe coaster and the new suspension bridge is a nice and easy 0.5km hike from the upper gondola. The restaurant at the top has good food and amazing views. Buy the 3-attraction Adventure Pass online the day before for best value, you can then do the suspension bridge and both of the pipe coaster tracks.

Beautiful resort with lots of activities to have fun. Mountain coaster, Gondola, Mountain biking, hiking, swimming pool, hot tubs, saunas and great restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here. Only negative is the noise from construction of a new building that starts at 7am until 5pm. When you get a room, ask them to be sure to give you a room away from that area. We couldn't have our door open or sit on the balcony because the noise was too loud.

Visited while passing through from Kamloops to Canmore. We were looking for a way to appreciate the mountains and this did not disappoint. We didn’t have a ton of time as it was a long driving day, but we took the gondola to the top and walked the High Line trail. It has a fantastic viewing platform and suspension bridge. All the staff we interacted with were so kind and welcoming. I would suggest buying tickets online prior to as there was a 10% savings on the admission we missed out on by buying ours at the counter upon arrival.

My husband and I had an amazing time at Revelstoke Mountain Resort! The gondola ride offered stunning views of the mountains and valley, and the mountain coaster was absolutely thrilling — fast, fun, and safe for everyone. The area is clean, well-organized, and surrounded by beautiful nature. A perfect place to enjoy adventure and relaxation in one spot.

First time visiting this place and we came from Edmonton. We purchased the 3 adventure pass cause I wanted to try the sightseeing, the coaster ride and the aerial place. The view was nice and cold, took a lot of pictures there. The coaster ride was nice actually, and apparently track 1 is best (you’ll just have to find out why) and the aerial was fun and tiring. Will definitely come back cause I haven’t really explored the small commons there

The pipe Coaster was a major highlight of our road trip. The gondal right to the top of the mountain was very scenic and felt like an additional experience on top of the coaster. Staff prioritized safety which was highly appreciated. My suggestion if you are going with a group is to put the faster riders (or who you think will be faster) and have them go first. Or when the light turns green for you to go, wait another minute. That way the person in front won't slow you down. Highly recommend this experience.

The Enchanted Forest

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Nature & Parks
Forests
Nestled in the lush old-growth forest of the Monashee mountains, The Enchanted Forest is a whimsical attraction featuring fairy tale-themed buildings and storybook characters. Visitors can step back in time and encounter beloved figures such as Goldilocks, Snow White, Winnie-the-Pooh, Captain Hook, and more. The handcrafted sculptures and attention to detail create an enchanting atmosphere for both kids and adults to enjoy.
This is a terrific stop for all ages. It is geared for kids but the whimsy is fun and it’s a nice walk in the forest to break up the drive on the highway. I recommend stopping for all ages. Still reasonably priced + you can buy duck and fish food to feed at the pond
J R — Google review
What a great place to roam around. We are seniors And had a great time. We did take the nature walk and that was quite the trek. What goes down must come up. The whole forest is beautiful laid out. We took about 2 hours to go through the forest. At the end there is a duck pond and a fish pond and you can buy food for both
Jacqueline — Google review
Almost 40 and this place was still magical. The staff are so lovely! Tall gorgeous cedars everywhere and tucked in amongst the beauty is little things from your childhood, every story I had heard growing up was infront of me. It was nostalgic and stunning, the detail that goes into this place is next level. There is a salmon run in the fall, you can walk the boardwalk trail and watch them swim down stream. They have a duck and rainbow trout pond you can buy food in the gift shop for them, the ducks will eat out of your hand! The trout are pigs and entertaining to watch! The nature walk is beautiful but up hill and not super awesome for a prairie chicken like me but was worth it for the pictures! The bathrooms were cleaner than most indoor places and they were outside and had running water! There is an adventure place within it for kids as well but even if you just do the enchanted forest you will be amazed! Highly recommend, this was by far the best thing on our trip itinerary! The gift shop was also reasonably priced, not a thing often seen in BC. Lots of trinkets and tshirts to look through!

Our visit to the Enchanted Forest was absolutely wonderful! It truly brought back so many childhood memories—walking through fairy tale displays, climbing treehouses, and exploring whimsical paths made us feel like kids again. There was so much to see and do, and every corner was filled with charm and creativity. We had so much fun taking pictures, discovering hidden spots, and just enjoying the nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for both kids and adults to experience a bit of magic. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relive some childhood joy or just have a fun and unique day out!

We stopped at the Enchanted Forest in Revelstoke with our kids and they absolutely loved it! Walking through the forest full of fairy-tale houses, giant mushrooms, and storybook characters was pure magic for them. It’s such a fun and unique place for families, with so many little details that kept the kids excited the whole way through. A perfect stop to stretch your legs and make some wonderful memories!

Take your kids! It's such a magical place full of fairy tale characters in the forest. There is also a cute little pond with ducks and fish that the kids can feed. Absolutely loved it, will be stopping here regularly. Even if you dont have children, it's such a whimsical walk, there is also a nature path that is gorgeous.
JK W — Google review
This is such a cute roadside attraction. They bring childhood stories to life and most of the houses and such are interactive. There’s a 3 story tree house you can go up. The staff are so friendly and welcoming as well. Cute little gift shop at the end if you chose to or you can bypass that straight out. Takes about an hour to go through.
Natasha O — Google review
What a beautiful place, this forest seems like wonderland. The thought behind the creator for this shows a lot of creativity. They have turned things into beautiful leaves of art, tiny little sculptures ,homes ,and if you enter those homes then beddings and other little things. Good place to take your kids to. Highly recommend visiting this for once. You can see this within an hours time. On road and good enough parking space.

Crazy Creek Hot Pools Resort

Resort hotel
Outdoor Activities
Warm, remote hotel offering informal suites with full kitchens, plus hot spring pools.
We camped for a week at Crazy Creek Hot Pools Campsites. The camping spots were well maintained, and in the forested area, were nice and close to the hot pools. All the trailer sites had water, power & sewer, and our site was quite spacious, though rocky, was very level and easy for setup. Campfire rings were provided, and the pools were very nice after a long days activities, and the adult times from 9-10 were very peaceful. The cabins we did see were very well laid out. The train tracks close by did cause some noise, but we quickly got used to it. The waterfall was a nice hike up to a great location and viewpoint, and the excellent ice cream from the small restaurant /bar/ ice cream shop was excellent. All the staff we dealt with were very pleasant and helpful, and we will be making sure to stop here again.

We had a great stay at Crazy Creek resort! The cabin accommodations exceeded our expectations, very clean and good use of space. Our unit had a small Kitchenette and breakfast bar, all equipped with the appliances needed - perfect for 2 people. Large windows provided lots of natural light and view of the gorgeous scenery and mountains. Large covered patio with picnic bench was perfect for lunch, evening dinner/ relaxing. We appreciated the private campfire pit. We hiked the surrounding area, eagle river and suspension bridge - not too far or strenuous, easy moderate walk, great for families. The hot pools were nice and offered different temperatures and a cold plunge, we enjoyed the adult quiet hour at night. The highway is very close by, but the noise wasn’t bothersome. Units were almost soundproof- very quiet at night. We will definitely come back again!

This was my first time at this resort and I had an INCREDIBLE experience! The resort was extremely beautiful and well-kept, staff was so friendly, and the overall experience was amazing. My favourite part was the hot pools which were great both during the day and at night. I also loved how many dog-friendly activities there were. It's a great spot for a couples getaway; I don't have kids but it was clear there's lots to do for kids and families as well. I will 100% be back again!

We had such a great time at Crazy Creek Resort! Our campsite was super spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We loved using the hot pools and the cold plunge—it was the perfect way to unwind. Our daughter and I had so much fun picking huckleberries right on the property, and the pump track was a huge hit too—we spent lots of time doing sweet tricks and enjoying the space. The whole resort is clean, well-maintained, and clearly run by people who care. It’s a great base for exploring the area, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

First time to Crazy Creek and we will definitely be back! Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and cute decor. The staff were really friendly and the entire resort was really clean. We walked to the beach and saw the spawning salmon which was fun. The suspension bridge was unfortunately closed for the season but we will have to do thst next time we come. Only 30 minutes from Revelstoke which makes it a great location.
Leanne H — Google review
It’s long been on our bucket list to visit Crazy Creek Hot Pools Resort. We finally made it there, with our friends Susan and Mike. We enjoyed 2-nights in one of the newer 2-bedroom cabins, enjoyed the hot pools multiple times, dipped our feet into the cold plunge, and relaxed by the fire table on our deck. We also walked over the suspension bridge and went up and down approximately 230 steps to view the waterfalls from multiple viewing platforms. Our dogs had a staycation with Nana and Grandpa, but the cabins are dog-friendly and we would likely take them with us next time. There’s plenty of campsites also for camping and RVs. Plus there’s a nice walking trail around the property. We enjoyed our time here and will plan to visit again in the future.

Staff is always so welcoming and helpful, the pools are always very good for my physical health (hot and cold plunge) and we love having a firepit right outside our cabin door. This Thanksgiving weekend was no different than any other stay. The staff were so helpful. I kindly asked if frying pans should be in the rooms and mentioned that we didn't have one and by the time we got back to our cabin there were frying pans sitting outside our door. thank you for always being a wonderful weekend for my wife and I.
Gord P — Google review
Beautiful spot with great amenities. We had a tough time getting our tent stakes into the ground because it was incredibly rocky ground, but other than that, fantastic. I will mention, the train came past and you could hear it on the tracks, as well as noise from the highway, but there were no train whistles at night and we didn't find it disruptive to our sleep. Clean facilities, great hot pools, and lots to do in the area. Great walking paths to the ruins of the old town that was here as well. We're considering coming back to check out the cabins next time, they looked really nice.

D Dutchmen Dairy Ltd

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Dairy
Sights & Landmarks
D Dutchmen Dairy Ltd is a long-standing establishment that has been offering handmade dairy products since 1978. Founded by Chris and Nellie Dewitt, the dairy continues to be operated by the Dewitt family. Known for its high-quality ingredients, the small family-owned farm in Sicamous produces fresh milk, ice cream, and cheese on-site. The dairy's products are popular among both locals and tourists, with many visitors returning for generations.
A Must-Stop on Your BC Road Trip! If you're traveling through British Columbia, make sure to take a quick detour (just a minute off Highway 1) to visit Dutchmen Dairy—you won't regret it! This charming, family-friendly spot offers some of the best house-made ice cream and dairy products you'll find anywhere. We were blown away by the variety of ice cream flavors, all made on-site with incredibly rich and creamy texture. We also picked up some delicious cheese and spent a good 10-15 minutes exploring the small farm area—great for kids. The whole experience is super accessible, with lots to see and do even on a short stop. Whether you're grabbing a cone or just stretching your legs, Dutchmen Dairy is well worth the visit!
Luna K — Google review
We stopped by on Monday for ice cream and really liked the place and atmosphere. Our toddler was quite entertained by the various tractors he could sit on and the baby cows he could watch. There was a lineup, but it only took about 10 minutes—so not too long. The staff was great and friendly, especially considering how busy they were. The ice cream was okay; lots of choices, we tried Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake and Wild Berries. They were nice and creamy, which was great, but not very flavourful—even though cherry usually is. They also sell milk products, including milk and cheese. We didn’t have a chance to try them.
Tanya M — Google review
Stopped here on the way from Revelstoke — definitely worth it! The place was quite busy, and we waited about 10 minutes in line, but the huge selection of ice cream made from fresh farm milk was worth it. They also offer lactose-free options and refreshing sorbets, which is a big plus. The whole spot has a Dutch theme, with shelves full of waffles, chocolate, and cookies, along with their own dairy products straight from the farm. The property is large and well set up, with gazebos, washrooms, a store, and even a barn where you can see the cows. A fun stop for families and ice cream lovers alike!
Anastasiya L — Google review
We have been stopping by D Dutchmen for years. It's worth taking a break here from the drive to have some delicious ice cream. This is no tourist trap. The ice cream and sorbet are excellent here. My kids look forward to this stop on our way to the Okanagan. The washrooms are clean and another reason to stop by. If you feel up to it, pop across the street to Fruit World for some healthy snacks for the road.
Victor L — Google review
I definitely recommend making a detour to D Dutchmen Dairy for their fresh, creamy ice cream. You can grab a pint or even a tub to take home. The ice cream is rich, full of flavor, and has that heavy cream taste that makes it stand out exactly how I like it. It does get very busy, so be prepared to wait in line, but it’s absolutely worth it once you get that first scoop. A true local gem and a must-stop when passing through Sicamous.
Jackson L — Google review
Great choice of ice cream! You can also find a variety of farm-made cheeses, milks, and fresh cream. There are even some lovely Dutch souvenirs such as ceramic tulips, kitchen towels, and, of course, authentic Dutch waffles.When my daughter accidentally dropped her ice cream at the cashier while we were paying, the cashier—before she even started to cry—immediately said they would bring her a new portion. That was such a kind gesture, and I’m very grateful for it. A public washroom is available, and there’s also a play area for children.
Yulia H — Google review
Dutchmen Dairy in Sicamous was a notable stop on our drive to Revelstoke. I had two scoops of ice cream, and the sea salt caramel cheesecake flavor was fantastic—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. They boast a wide variety of ice cream flavors, which is a major draw. However, on our return trip, I tried the Oreo and mango flavors, and both were a big disappointment. Not only did they lack the distinct Oreo and mango tastes I expected, but they oddly tasted the same, which was a real letdown. The place has a family-friendly atmosphere, with a nice seating area, a small play space for kids, and a barn where you can see cows and goats, which my family enjoyed. That said, the shop gets very crowded, and parking is a hassle. Hygiene was also an issue—there was a fly buzzing around, and the ice cream cones were left exposed without covers. Worst of all, stepping outside hits you with a strong smell of cow patties from the barn right behind the store, making it tough to enjoy your ice cream. Pricing for the scoops is fair: $5.25 for one giant scoop, $6.50 for two scoops, and $8.00 for three scoops. However, a waffle cone costs an extra $1.00, and a bowl adds $0.25, which feels a bit much for basic add-ons. The ice cream quality (when the flavor delivers) and family-friendly vibe are highlights, but the disappointing flavors, hygiene concerns, and overpowering barn smell really detracted from the experience. I’d recommend it for the standout flavors and kid-friendly activities, but they need to improve cleanliness, flavor consistency, and the odor issue.
Janice K — Google review
An all-in-one stop for everyone. Family-run with a welcoming feel, great products and incredible up-close (no cost) experience of the ‘farm’. The ice cream, milk, cheese, butter, etc. is just an added bonus. Our kids loved coming ans it became a daily stop on our holiday.

Recently gave birth here via c-section. The experience I had in every department was amazing. The nurses, the OR team and everyone in between were so positive and helpful and kind. I’m grateful for all of the support and care I received, this hospital is amazing and highly underrated. Thank you so much to everyone who took care of me and my baby. I want to come back and give my thanks somehow.

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 .

Salmon Arm Wharf

Mentioned on

Fishing pier
Sights & Landmarks
Piers & Boardwalks
The Salmon Arm Wharf is a must-visit wooden boardwalk, boasting the title of the longest inland curved wharf in Canada. It offers stunning views of the bird sanctuary and ecological reserve. Adventure seekers can explore hiking, biking, horse riding, and even snowmobiling in winter. This historic 440-foot structure dates back to the early 1900s and provides an amazing opportunity for leisurely strolls with breathtaking lake views.
This is a must visit place in Salmon Arm. It has a big pay parking lot costs only $1 per hour. Don't forget to pay then go. Beautiful scenery all around the area. The wharf has boats etc for rental. There are one takeout cafe restaurant at the end of the wharf. They offer some sandwiches, fish and chips, spring roll, cafe ,ice-cream and cold drink. The price and the food are good. When I get there, I see so many swallows are crazy busy feeding their babies. It's the first time that I can see the swallows so closely. The babies are pity big and they stand out the nest waiting for their parents. There are also many seagulls around. They stay around and waiting for some food. The washrooms are in the end of the wharf.

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.

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!

Tourist trap that you absolutely want to fall for. They have some local products, ice cream. We had a brownie and was tasty and then we bought some of the animal food and went to feed the animals.

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

SilverStar Mountain Resort

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
SilverStar Mountain Resort is a picturesque destination offering skiing, snowboarding, biking, and more. Located in B.C.'s Thompson-Okanagan region, it boasts champagne-powder snow that falls frequently during winter. The resort features technical terrain on the backside of the mountain and is close to Vernon. Visitors can enjoy hiking trails like Electric Avenue but may find some trail connections unclear.
We spent 3 full days riding at the SilverStar bike park and we had the best time! This was our second time riding park, our first at a large resort style park. The village is beautiful and has everything you could need. All the staff were kind and helpful. They even have a little convenience store! The food was delicious and the shops were reasonably priced with great selection and sales. We had a blast riding the blue trails! Both the tech and flow trails were running so good! Our first day at the park we had a 4 hour lesson with Jordan (the one that works in high school education). 10/10 for the SS bike school! He was so personable and tailored our lesson to our abilities. He was able to take our street motorcycle riding skills and transfer them to DH park riding flawlessly. Our skills progressed more than we imagined! Thank you Jordan!! We hope to see you on the trails next season!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Set in changing locales on an 80-acre farm, this summer theater produces classic & original plays.
What a fantastic experience at this great venue! I came for a performance of "The Bear And The Proposal" and I wouldn't have want to miss this theatrical storytelling experience. Well organized, excellent executed in a setting that is hard to match. The friendly and inviting atmosphere makes you want to stay and/or come back often. I know, I'm becoming a regular patron of the Caravan Farm Theatre. Kudos to all staff and performers.

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.

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.
Marshall B — Google review
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.
Sandraleigh M — Google review
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.

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.

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.

Davison Orchards Country Village is a family-run apple orchard that has become a popular attraction for families. Visitors can enjoy tractor-drawn tours through the orchard, where guides share the history and operations of the orchard. The village features playgrounds, animal feeding areas with sheep, goats, and chickens, as well as a gift shop and cafe.
Davison Orchards is such a great place to visit! Not only do they have amazing produce like sweet corn and juicy cherries, but they also offer fresh pressed apple juice that tastes naturally sweet and refreshing. It feels like you’re drinking pure sunshine in a glass. The whole atmosphere here is very welcoming and family and friendly. There are beautiful farm views, fun areas for kids to explore, and it’s just a relaxing spot to spend an afternoon. The market area is busy but organized, with lots of local products to browse. It’s more than just shopping for produce it’s a full experience. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in Vernon or nearby.

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.

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.

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!

My First Wine Tasting – What an Experience! This was my very first wine tasting and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Tony was our wine advisor and he was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience relaxed and fun. The wines were delicious (the whites especially!) and the setting overlooking the Okanagan Valley was stunning. Highly recommend Gray Monk if you’re new to wine tastings or just looking for a great time with amazing views and even better wines!

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.
Greasygirlgoneclean D — Google review
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!

Kangaroo Creek Farm

Sights & Landmarks
Zoo
Kangaroo Creek Farm, located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, is a unique and family-friendly destination where visitors can immerse themselves in an up-close experience with a variety of fascinating marsupials. The farm is home to diverse kangaroos, wallabies, emus, goats, sugar gliders, and other exotic animals. It offers an educational opportunity for visitors to learn about animal habitats, behaviors, and conservation efforts.
Make sure to save PLENTY of time to take it all in! We were on a tight schedule of the many things we wanted to do while in Kelowna from Alberta. But our greatest regret from the trip is not allowing more time at the kangaroo Farm. First of all, the amount of love, dignity and respect they show to the animals is why why the animals are also chill! It was a little bit pricey to get in for a family of six but worth every penny! Everyone from the adults to teenagers and toddler all had a wonderful time. They could have stayed there all day! But they do close at 3:00 p.m. so make sure that you keep that in mind. Most of the animal handlers were very friendly except for the bird guy.. he took his job a little too seriously. But once again care for the animal is their primary concern, which isn't the bad thing. All of the staff were knowledgeable and genuinely loved the animals. I think 4 hours would probably be a good amount of time to spend here. Just like most places, the snack stand is outrageously priced. But it's really nice that they supply little treats to feed the animals, for free. I know some zoos and such make you pay coins for treats. We had an absolute blast and would definitely go back!

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.

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.

Arrowleaf Cellars

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Winery
Food & Drink
Arrowleaf Cellars, located in Lake Country, BC, offers a picturesque setting with stunning vineyard and lake views. This family-owned winery is known for its wide selection of high-quality wines, particularly focusing on white varieties like Pinot Gris and Riesling. Visitors can enjoy relaxed tastings and indulge in farm-to-table creations at the Garden Bistro while overlooking the vineyards and mountains.
A view equal or better to all wineries in Okanagan. I think it's super interesting and a wonderful community event that they have a weekend market/craft fair for local crafts people. Hopefully it's repeated for several weekends over the summer because I thought it was brilliant. The wine is also well regarded from this establishment but true draw is the outside sitting and the view.

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.

Myra Canyon Adventure Park

Mentioned on 
21 lists 
Adventure sports center
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the picturesque Myra Canyon just a short drive from Kelowna, Myra Canyon Adventure Park offers an array of thrilling activities for visitors of all ages. From rope climbing courses and zip lines to team-building games and specialized physical activities, the park provides endless entertainment. Families can also take advantage of on-site amenities such as BBQs, firepits, and picnic tables for a well-deserved break between adventures.
Awesome experience taking our 12 & 15 year old nephew/niece there for the afternoon! We did the “big kid” high rope adventure course and zip lines. There are 6 different courses to choose from, some very challenging but all do-able! Definitely make time for the zip lines. We spent 3 hours there but it could have been more! Options to buy a few snacks, but I’d recommend packing something. There are places to have a picnic and eat. Washrooms too. There was a chance of rain/thunderstorm when we went and they said they would possibly have to close the course, but luckily they did not as the clouds stayed away. So, check the weather before you go. Owner and staff was very nice, albeit a little lax on safety (these were their words— referring to other staff that didn’t know/enforce some safety rules). Nonetheless it was a great day! Would recommend and return!
A. M — Google review
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)

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! 🎃
Sunny — Google review
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.

Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Mentioned on 
+70 other lists 
Winery
Food & Drink
Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna is a unique winery that stands out due to its iconic pyramid structure. The owners have conducted studies on the effects of geometry on liquids, leading them to build a striking white pyramid. For over 20 years, barrels of wine have been stored inside the pyramid, with blind taste tests revealing that wines aged within it for up to three months exhibit improved aroma and smoothness compared to those aged outside.
We recently visited Summerhill Pyramid Winery and while the experience started with a long wait, it was well worth it in the end. The winery was very busy, even though it wasn’t peak hours be prepared to wait if you are coming for a tasting, as it takes time to serve each party 4–5 glasses and give proper attention to the wine storytelling. Since the indoor tasting area was packed, we were redirected to the gazebo tasting room outside, which had a lovely setting. Still, we had to wait about 30 minutes as 2–3 groups were ahead of us. When it was finally our turn, we were served by the manager, Daniel (if I recall the name right), and he was absolutely fantastic. Despite being pulled in every direction, Daniel remained calm, warm, and engaging. He didn’t rush us at all he explained each wine thoughtfully, poured generously, and made the whole experience enjoyable and educational. He also didn’t pressure us to make any purchases, which we appreciated. In the end, we left with several bottles and a box of wine, including a few delicious ice wines. The wait was long, but the customer service and quality of wine made it worth it. Pro tip: If you’re planning a visit, try to arrive early in the day or on a weekday to avoid the peak crowd

There is a beautiful view, a large parking lot. There is a restaurant and a shop where wine is sold, there is a very beautiful interior and polite staff. But the prices seem too high to me. Although there were a lot of people, several buses with tourists from Asia.
Anatoliy — Google review
Mix feelings about this one. Definitely one of the best views in town. The food was good but quite expensive. Unfortunately, as it is a winery, the wines did not impress me. Located only a few minutes from downtown Kelowna, you'll find a huge, heated terrace overlooking lake Okanagan, perfect to watch the sunset. You cannot beat that. Inside decor is... a tad weird. Not sure what is going on with all the sculptures and pyramid references? We started with a wine tasting. They know their product but, except for their version of a champagne, I did not find anything of interest. The food was a redemption, I must say. Our server was sweet, and we had overall a great night. It is just so expensive for what it is. I guess you pay for the views? I've been told it's a very popular place, but we went on a Friday, and we were maybe nine people total, and our group counted for six. Oh well.
Katerine G — Google review
This place offers great views and good photo ops while you visit this winery. Famous for its pyramid cellar, they offer a broad selection of whites, reds, sparklings, and ice wines. They can offer you a tasting of their product free of charge provided you buy a bottle. Additional wine tasting options and a winery tour is optional by reservations.
Charlie C — Google review
Me and my family wanted to stop by to have a taste of wine. We were enjoying the view and how nice the place was. Unfortunately, we felt horribly mistreated by the man working at the tasting room. We wanted to have a taste before buying, so we asked what’s something he recommends and what their best selling wine was. We waited for his reply, however, it seems though he was ignoring us on purpose and acted like we weren’t there. A few minutes go by and we see him giving out wine to two ladies who just came by dressed gracefully. I’m not assuming but it felt as if it had to do with the way we look. I hate to be look down upon especially when it comes to customer services like these. Customers should be valued and treated equally, it’s basically called human decency.

This was my very first wine tasting experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The host was extremely knowledgeable, cheerful, and engaging throughout the tasting.

Quails' Gate Winery in West Kelowna offers tours, tastings, and lakefront accommodations along with a Pacific Northwest restaurant called Old Vines. The restaurant is renowned for its use of the freshest local ingredients, serving up new seasonal specialties regularly. Guests can also enjoy the popular long table dinners on Wednesdays throughout the summer, featuring a four-course dinner paired with Quails' Gate wines amidst the vineyard.
What a wonderful meal and location. We had three courses and a wonderful bottle of wine. We sat outside and were at first worried it would be a bit cold but the heaters were perfect and we were offered blankets also but didn’t need these! View was such a wonderful bonus and music and atmosphere was great. Food was absolutely amazing and our waitress Paige was just wonderful, she was so kind, friendly and attentive, making some wonderful choices/recommendations for us on the wine and dessert. We spoke at the table about how lovely she was! Thank you Paige and Quails gate for a fantastic evening!

I was on a road trip with my small dog, so I deliberately sought out this winery because I heard here is dog-friendly. I was so pleased that I was allowed to hold my dog while doing a tasting and purchasing wine. I had been informed that dogs needed to be held while inside the building, so I was prepared with a cross-body dog carrier bag, which made it perfectly manageable. The staff member who guided us through the tasting was incredibly friendly and professional. Their kindness was a wonderful bonus. I would love to visit again next time I'm not the designated driver!

Quails' Gate Restaurant was an absolutely fantastic experience with incredible food. We went for dinner one evening and returned for lunch another day, both meals were outstanding.

We’ll definitely be back in the future :)

Stephen Z — Google review
Wonderful experience at Quails Gate. We had lunch at the restaurant (separate review), then a stroll in adjacent vineyard, followed by a reserve tasting. We were guided through the tasting by a delightful lady Valerie, who it turns out had much in common. She not only introduced the wines but shared extensive background on the history of the winery. The tasting began with a Pinot Gris. They were sold out of top rated Riesling, chenin blanc, and gerwurstraminer. We then had a Pinot noir, which had very aggressive tannins, unusual for a Pinot. Next came a Marshal Foch, a non-vinus-venifera, and was a little funky, without much finish. The final was the queue, a red blend made from grapes from elsewhere in BC. The tasting was on the deck backdropped by the beautiful lake, hills and vineyards.

Mission Hill Family Estate Winery

Winery

Wineries & Vineyards
Mission Hill Family Estate Winery is a leading winery in the Okanagan Valley, known for its modern buildings, amphitheater, and locavore restaurant. The estate was established in 1981 on Mount Bushiri and gained recognition after winning an award for the best chardonnay at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 1994. With its European architecture and a 12-story bell tower, the West Kelowna estate offers stunning views of Okanagan Lake and exceptional wines.
This is not your usual stop on a winery tour. This truly stunning spot requires hours to explore and appreciate. We opted to dine in the restaurant for the three course chef tasting menu with the reserve wine pairing, as well as a regular pairing. The meal offerings changes seasonally with what’s fresh, and I can truly say the chefs and servers are at the top of their game. This was a $350 bill before tip, and it was worth every penny, nearly three hours of dining, wining in the most beautiful place you can imagine… it’s a luxury experience we felt was worth every penny. You won’t want it to end. The only critique I could possibly find is we stopped passed the wine shop and tasting room before our reservation, and the sales person was quite pushy to get us out the door, as they closed in 20 minutes. A bit of a sour start to the evening, but the meal more than made up for it. A couple things to expect: parking is ample, the grounds are glorious so take your time to explore and take pictures before your meal, there are affordable and expensive bottles (so something for everyone), but maybe skip the gift shop if you have no interest in overpriced, kitschy items and $2000 luggage (I get this is a luxury place, but come on), you WILL need a reservation and you WILL need to put down a credit card to do so, it books up fast but we were able to get a table for the next day. 10/10 experience, will be raving about it to anyone who asks how my summer was. Cheers!

Econic winery high on a West Kelowna hillside. Like it's name, it's as though you are entering a missionary. A tall bell tower rings for 5 minutes at noon, and shorter periods every fifteen minutes. To the right as you enter is the wine and gift shop. It has rooms for dedicated tastings, where we had a tasting with hor d'oeuvres, cumulating with a tasting of the iconic Occulus - which received a 100 point rating, and consistent ratings in the mid-90s. The tasting included Sauvignon Blanc, rose, merlot from the Terroir Collection, and Quatrain from the Legacy collection. Our favorite was the merlot - with distinctive merlot on the nose and taste. Our guide Mia was very friendly and informative. The shop had things you don't expect to see in a wine shop - luggage priced at $25 k, a book about Milan,... You get the idea. Classy...More for show. To the left on entering is the restaurant.All the tables in the restaurant have a lake view. We had a wonderful lunch (See the review). The grounds have a number of statues. Lending to the elevated experience. BTW Mission Hills was selected Winery by NWAC, the 7th time in the 25 year history of the awards. sected

I visited Mission Hill Winery because everyone kept telling me it’s a must-see in Kelowna, and honestly, it lived up to the reputation. The service, the interior, and of course the wine were all excellent—everything felt refined and thoughtfully curated. The only thing to note is that the price range is definitely on the higher side compared to other wineries. And while the staff who recommend the wines are very friendly and knowledgeable, I did feel a slight sense of being rushed at times, probably because it’s such a popular spot. There’s also a separate VIP tasting area, and seeing it from outside really makes you want to try it someday. It has that “I want to experience that too” kind of pull, especially because the entire setup is visible from outside. What I loved was how they display a wide range of wines—from premium to more affordable options—all arranged beautifully so you can see everything in one glance. The overall decoration and presentation are incredibly well done. One thing I wished for was being able to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. There’s a park-like area with a stunning view of the lake, sky, and landscape. It would’ve been amazing to drink wine out there, but even without that, the indoor experience is still lovely. Whether you enjoy it inside or outside really just depends on what kind of wine experience you’re looking for.

We wish them both all the best in their future plans. The Mission Hill property is in top knotch shape and very picturesque. Looking forward to future visits here!

We had an amazing time at the guided tasting tour! Simon gave us a fascinating tour of the winery, showing us the bell tower and the wine cellar, and we even got lucky enough to spot a little deer along the way. Kiran and another lovely staff member led our tasting session. Kiran was especially wonderful, patiently answering all of our questions—some of which were quite out-of-the-box—about red and white wines. As people who aren’t very familiar with wine, we gained so much enjoyment and interest from their explanations. Both Simon and Kiran were extremely well-mannered, friendly, and welcoming. Their passion and professionalism truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I’ve visited several times this year, and I have to say—I was never a fan of Canadian wines… until Mission Hill. It’s an oasis in the desert. I’ve rarely encountered such sophisticated wines, and so consistently so. Even their most approachable bottles surpass many others around the world. Unlike so many wineries, Mission Hill’s pricing truly reflects quality: if the budget-friendly selections are sensational, the upper-tier bottles are nothing short of divine. During my first tasting, I was struck by the quiet depth of emotion these wines evoke for the wine romantic—a gentle stirring of memories, of great bottles shared with special people, of perfect pairings from years past. These beautiful wines are, in every sense, a treat for the soul.

The Book Shop in Penticton is a massive used bookstore, spanning over 5000 square feet and offering an extensive collection of books, including out-of-print editions and rare finds. It's considered one of the largest used bookstores in Canada, with floor-to-ceiling displays covering various subjects like sports, photography, fashion, and travel. The store's layout creates a maze-like experience filled with literary treasures waiting to be discovered around every corner.
I emailed The Book Shop asking if they had an online inventory (they did not) and offered shipping (they do) and so to accomodate me, Tavis then spent the next long while patiently taking pictures of the spines of books of several different areas of interest and then provided a price list for every title I saw of interest (and I threw a lot of these at her!). Not only was the service extremely accomdating, friendly, and beyond helpful, but the product that arrived would be hard to beat! The books were all in like new, beautiful condition and they were also by far the BEST packed parcel of books I have ever recieved (and I've gotten LOTS!) ! Many thanks to Tavis and The Book Shop for all the time and effort and I look fowrard to doing it again!!

I love the concept, but not sure on the execution. I have worked in similar used bookstores but at about half the size. Its hard not to get overwhelmed with books and honestly seems like someone might cause a book avalanche just moving through the stacks. I also had about a dozen older but popular enough books in mind. It took a long time to locate where the books *would* be, even with staff help, but also were not available. If you were just looking to fill your library with a concept it would be a good stop, but any specific topic or book series might be hard to research/find here.

Perhaps I shouldn't have read the reviews before going to The Book Shop but I was disappointed. I found it smaller than expected. Some sections did not boast as much as I hoped for. We bought a book for our daughter but didn't scan the end pages. On reading it in the car, we noticed 10 pages were torn. Should do a better job of reviewing the condition of the books.

We cycled out purposefully to find out about wine tours. It was challenging to get the information we wanted. One would think that at a place like this you would get advice tailored to your desires. Not so much. And when I told the fellow that I had almost cut myself on some broken glass outside he seemed to take a very nonchallant attitude. We ended up just going on our own - self guided touring. Actually, the best way to tour the vineyards, I think, is to take a bicycle on the trails! That was amazing!!!

This beach is the ending point for the Penticton channel (offered by Coyote Cruises) there is a large hidden current in where the channel meets the lake and it is *EXTREMELY DANGEROUS* stay out of the area. There is a nice playground steps away from the beach that offers two slides and a Small ropes course that can offer a challenge for kids ages 5 to 12. They have Beach volleyball court steps away from the parking lot. With year-round washrooms and change rooms available nearby. There is a Tickleberry's concession just beside the playground, so if you are not traveling into Okanagan Falls, you have the experience to visit in Penticton.

My dog and I love walking around this park. The views are beautiful. There is lots to do here. The beach is lovely but dogs aren't allowed on the beach. I was very disappointed my last visit, however, as my disabled friends walker was stolen as soon as we left the park. When I drove back to retrieve it, was gone.

Are you having a rough day? Do yourself a favor and walk along the beach. If it's not the scenery, that never fails. It's the people, and don't forget the fury family members that are walking around with smiles, I kid you not. They take care of the park So you can take care of you. Let go of the problems that aren't serving you at the entrance, and take a deep breath. Welcome.

Such a beautiful place to go walking, and enjoy the beautiful views. I loved the exercise equipment, and how clean the bathrooms were, I greatly appreciated the heat in the bathroom. ❤️ This will definitely be one of our go to walking spots, when we visit family.

Nice facilities. Seems like a more secure lot than in post with the gentleman thats posted at the front with park info. Trails are great, views are great. Some property lines are not marked well with signage, possibly can walk onto private land if heading towards lake direction.

This park is awesome! Was here for an outrigger race event. Lots of space and big old trees for shade. The washrooms are pretty good. They have a snack shack by the washrooms. Parking is plenty. There's a spray park for the kiddos. The beach is fairly steep as there's a sharp drop off from shore. Highly recommend for an outdoor gathering.

Great park and beach. Some bonfire pits, volleyball area, Mexican food and Tickleberry's Ice Cream shop. Gondola, out door workout machines, basketball courts, playground, dragon boating, boating launch, soon to have Dragon Boat Pub, paddleboard/kayak rental spot. Lots to do and great place to relax for a bit or the day.

Park is nice and clean. Sand here is better than the okanagan lake. It's peaceful here and you can find some water activities during the weekend. There should be some rides or playarea for the kids.

1000/10. Best winery I have genuinely EVER been to. Every time they said a different note or smell or taste in the wine, you could taste it very prominently. The owner was absolutely fantastic and gave so many details about the grapes and different wines. You could really tell they cared about the product they were selling and the experience you had. The property was fantastic, I felt like I was in a European Villa. Atmosphere, customer service, wine all 1000/10. The only way to get this wine is to get it shipped from them or to go to the winery directly. I highly recommend stocking up. Do yourself a favor and come here!

Our absolute favorite winery! We always end up buying a full case for ourselves and another for friends — and then keep ordering online, because their wines are the only thing that make those long Saskatchewan winters survivable (honestly, they should be prescribed for it!). Every wine is a gem: the unforgettable Sage white, their exquisite dessert wines, and the excellent dry reds that are impossible to resist. Tastings are free and include everything, so you really get to explore their whole range. Anna and her sister are true enthusiasts who know their craft inside out — warm, welcoming, and full of passion for what they do. Every visit feels special, and you will definitely not leave empty-handed. We absolutely adore this place!

This place was such a cool and unique experience! The wines were really different and we loved it. From the moment we got there, everything was great—the rose gardens and statues were beautiful. Our hostess was awesome and made it a really fun time. Definitely worth a visit!

This winery is the bar every other winery should aspire to. The owner was both entertaining and extremely informative. She is so passionate about her wines! Obviously she is adventurous in her different combinations for her wines. Hands down, the best wines anywhere. Thank you for a fun tasting.

My boyfriend’s family and I had such a wonderful experience here. We went for a tasting, as we found out they have a special selection of wines, specifically fortified wines. John was extremely knowledgeable and had such a great sense of humor. He had us laughing and really enjoying our time there. We were so impressed with the wide selection of dessert wines. Every single one was delicious, and had unique properties, and reflected high standards for their production process. We won’t share how many we purchased ;) They definitely have our business! It was so nice to sit on the bench outside, take in the view, and enjoy the sounds of the water. Thank you John! We will be back!

We stumbled upon this lovely winery for a spontaneous tasting and had no idea what a treat we were in for. The wines were exceptional — beautifully balanced and full of character — but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely entertaining, they brought warmth and wit to every pour. It was the perfect ending to an already great weekend.

Silver Sage is absolutely a standout winery! The stunning grounds- with beautiful roses and a tranquil pond- create a breathtaking setting. We enjoyed a generous tasting of 13 fruit-forward wines with no fee, guided by a witty and knowledgeable server who kept us laughing throughout. Honestly, I could have taken home a bottle of every wine…. they were all that good! We ended up buying four bottles. Don’t miss this gem- hands down our favourite winery in Osoyoos!

Love this place! 💛 The team is super friendly and professional, and everything runs so smoothly. Their wines are absolutely delicious — the Pinot Blanc is light and crisp, like taking a bite of a white nectarine 🍑, and the Gewürztraminer with sage is so unique and aromatic. Definitely one of my favorite wineries in the Okanagan! 🍷

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is a must-see winery located in the scenic Golden Mile Bench. Before opening their Miradoro Restaurant, visitors could already enjoy their wine tours. The vineyard features the beautiful Golden Mile Trail with stunning valley views that are perfect for a morning hike. Their food is incredible and guests can also indulge in a wine tasting experience with knowledgeable staff who provide great information and service.
My friends and I sat on the balcony for a wine tasting and it was so amazing! All the wines were amazing and our server Pamela was the best! Will for sure be going back!

If you're making a wine tour stop in Oliver, Tinhorn Vineyards needs to be at the absolute top of your list. This place is a solid five stars, and for good reason! First off, let's talk about the setting. The breathtaking views of the valley from their spot are just incredible. You could honestly spend hours just soaking it all in with a glass in hand. It's truly picturesque and adds so much to the whole experience. Then there's the wine itself – absolutely delicious wine, of course! They have a fantastic selection, and every sip was a pleasure. You can tell a lot of care goes into their production. And finally, the staff. They are truly *knowledgeable. You can ask them anything about the wines, the grapes, the region, and they're happy to share their expertise. They make the tasting experience informative and genuinely enjoyable without being pretentious. They offer the perfect trifecta: stunning scenery, fantastic wine, and wonderful people to guide you through it. It's an essential stop for any wine lover in Oliver!

The vineyard is absolutely beautiful...which is why we went back that evening for dinner. We started out very impressed. We were greeted by the most friendly gentleman, he was both professional and welcoming. We both commented what a nice person he was when we sat down at our table. From there our experience went downhill unfortunately. Our servers name was Sam and she could not have been more disinterested... there was no personalized service explaining any of the wines or entrees, she kept running from the table with comments like " I'll be back". It appeared a couple came in that she knew personally and she spent time visiting with them while we were waiting to be attended to. If it had not been for the pleasant busboy clearing dishes and bringing out our water, wine and food we would have been sitting a lengthy amount of time in between. Very disappointed... our experience and evening ended with us having to ask for our bill and then had to ask another hostess for the machine to pay the bill. Not the experience we expected considering we had been to the Burrowing Owl and Hester Creek Vineyards and were treated with such gracious staff. We do visit Osoyoos often and we will definitely try the restaurant again. Hopefully we have better service next time. Customers spend a lot of money when they go to these type establishments ...service is a large part of the experience. Thanks to the rest of the staff and wonderful food we do recommend trying this restaurant...grounds are stunning!! 🍷🍷🍷

We've been to a zillion wineries over the last 40 years, and I'm not even exaggerating that this is the best we ever went to. We had a terrific time from when we stepped through the door, to our tastings, to our wonderful meal at their restaurant. Betty Ann was terrific helping us with our tastings. We sat outside and enjoyed a very casual environment and terrific view as we were allowed to take our time and savour each selection of three wines each. When we were done, we went to the restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful pizza, possibly the best Marguerita pizza we've ever had. This is a compliment since we've eaten pizza in Italy and this was easily just as good. The tomato sauce, the crust, and the mozzarella were incredibly flavorful. Not to mention the views were absolutely astounding. Jamie was our server and he was incredible, great guy, lots of fun. This was one of the best days of our entire 2-week road trip through BC. Thanks to everybody at this location and the staff for making us a really wonderful wine tasting and meal. We bought a full box of wine to show our appreciation!

Went for the science of stemware tasting. It was wonderful. Very informative and absolutely crazy how the right glass for the wine can make it taste so much better. Thank you for turning me into a true wine snob now!!!

We had an outstanding experience at Tin Horn during a recent wine tasting, thanks largely to our server Pamela, whose warm, welcoming demeanor set a relaxed tone from the moment she greeted us. She paired solid knowledge with approachable explanations, and her enthusiasm was contagious; you could tell she genuinely cared that we left happy and informed, making the visit memorable and highly recommendable.

The building was beautiful, from outside and inside. Did not spend too much time inside the main building as the lady who approached us quickly suggested my wife and I to go for lunch at the adjacent building. Nice suggestion but we were kind of hoping for some wine tasting and walk around in the property before eating something. That gave the impression she did not want to spend time with us, maybe? Anyways, we went to the restaurant. A male server (sorry, won't be able to remember his name) assisted us with a corner patio table facing all the vineyards around, great service and great wine suggestions. This was June 2025.

We were very excited to visit Tinhorn Creek and it did not disappoint. The views on the patio were wonderful and the variety of wines we were able to taste offered a lovely experience for all. I highly recommend making a reservation for the wine tasting and booking a premium tasting is best. Our group was very pleased and left with many bottles at the end of our experience. Thank you Jesse for taking care of us!
