Cool heritage site. Nice little walk. Fun to check out on our way thru.

I am so drawn to this place, I come for a walk around this Island a lot. As you can tell I am very connected to this place and have taken a lot of beautiful pictures of this place. It is a must to come and visit when your in the area and get a really look at what Castlegar has to offer.. So beautiful in the summer time when all of the flowers are bloomed. And don’t forget to check out their historic 1918 year old school.!

Beautiful location, great short walk around the island with many lookout spots and picnic areas. The old house itself is gorgeous historical building with pretty surrounding area. Although the cable bridge is closed in the off-season, there is very easy access through a large dyke walkway. Highly recommended to burn off some energy. Plenty of dog off leash areas as well. Two thumbs up.

I might go again for the view on the Northeast side of the island. Otherwise, not as fun as I thought it might be. The museum was closed, it was about 11 am on a Sunday. The bridge was closed for repairs, but it was easy to take an alternate route next to it to get into the island. Not hard to get to from town. But a little underwhelming for my family, except for a few nice views.

Zuckerberg Island is a beautiful, peaceful, serene gem in the heart of downtown Castlegar. Take your time and explore the many paths, and be sure to check out the chapel, cemetery and "stump lady". The island is accessible either by suspension bridge, or by a foot path - which is typically open as long as the water level is low (which it usually is these days). This park holds special memories for me as it is where my husband & I were wed. It's as beautiful now as it was then, if not moreso.

Unique park that is well worth a visit. Nice 30min walk with the preserved homestead home to admire from the outside. Suspention bridge is closed during winter, but island is still accessible by a causeway

A must see in castlegar bc. Uniquely situated on a small island on the COLUMBIA RIVER. Offers lots of history & beauty of the island including Zuckerberg's home there. Accessible by a long suspension bridge which offers a great view of the area.not to missed including the Millennium Park just down trail from the bridge.

The sculptures are amazing but a little difficult to follow the path per say. You're better off just wandering around Castlegar to find them.

If you're in the area, make it a part of your day to enjoy the walk and check out all these large and very creatively crafted sculptures. They are excellent and many times quite whimsical. Hats off to all the artists! The family will love these and want to be in a picture with several. No cost and there's a map and info available.

Castlegar has one of the best art walks in western Canada!

This was a hit on our day in castlegar. The art is gorgeous and it was a good chance for our 5yr old to practice being the leader and reading a map. She loves that we got to vote on our favourite. We enjoyed wandering and finding some local shops on our way too. We’ll stop for this sculpture walk again another year. It was fun to see pieces in other towns we travelled past later!

Lovely creative town!

Well done Castlegar.

Honestly my favorite ski resort experience I've ever had. The snow is absolutely fantastic and there is so much skiable terrain. The best part about RED though is the minimal amount of people. Throughout my entire 1 week stay there were almost no lines at any of the lifts.

I visited in the early fall and the colours were spectacular. This mountain is developing in a well planned manner. There’s some beautiful homes and condominiums.

Great place for the purists. Great variety of runs, intermediate to expert. Particularly wonderful are the glades and trees off Granite Mountain. Rossland isn't the most vibrant ski town. Condos available at the base. I've skied over 50 different areas. Red is in my top 5.

Alright, listen up, snow bunnies and daredevils alike. I just returned from a "relaxing" ski trip to Red Mountain, and let's just say my definition of "relaxing" has been permanently altered. **Pros:** No crowds, just pure, unadulterated terror:** Forget lift lines, you'll be too busy questioning your sanity to notice. Leg day? More like leg decade. Prepare for the quad-burning workout of your life. Every run is a masterclass in endurance... and survival. Views that'll make you forget you're about to plummet: The scenery is stunning, assuming you can keep your eyes open while navigating a minefield of moguls and cliffs. Authentic "old school" experience:By "old school" I mean "they haven't touched this place since the 1970s, and honestly, I'm not sure they should." Unparalleled bragging rights: "Yeah, I skied Red Mountain." Watch as your friends' jaws collectively hit the floor. **Cons:** The "easy" runs are basically black diamonds in disguise: I suspect they use a different grading system, perhaps one based on how likely you are to encounter a bear. "Grooming" is a loose term: I think they just send a herd of particularly aggressive snowshoe hares out there. The lodge is charmingly rustic... if rustic means "held together by duct tape and the sheer will of the bartender": The food is hearty, and you'll need the calories to keep from shivering. "Wildlife encounters:** I saw a moose that looked like it was judging my skiing ability. It was right. My ski instructor was a local who just shouted "SEND IT!" and pointed down the mountain: Helpful. **Overall:** Red Mountain isn't for the faint of heart. It's a place where legends are forged and knees are destroyed. If you're looking for manicured slopes and hot cocoa by a roaring fire, go somewhere else. If you want to test your limits and earn some serious street cred, Red Mountain is your mountain. Just remember to bring your A-game, a healthy dose of fear, and maybe a satellite phone. You know, just in case.

Not a family friendly resort to take your little kid skiing. I don't want to spend over 200$ to take my 5 year old skiing. You should be offering 30$ day passes for the Silverlode chair or topping creek chair only. Such as what Big white does with their plaza chair. Thanks

Despite warm Spring weather, this was an amazing mountain. Lots of terrain, incredible views, and friendly vibe. We can't wait to go again with powder! This was our first visit and chose to ski with a mountain host to get to know the mountain better. BEST DECISION ever! Shout out to Peter, Dave, and especially Mike for showing us the mountain and taking us places we would have otherwise missed. Foodwise, we enjoyed a delicious classic smoky at Paradise Lodge and great tacos at Flying Phil's at the Topping Creek Lift. We found the guest services to be friendly and helpful as well.

RED has all the mom and pop vibes you could want in a ski area. They have been adding to the base area infrastructure the past couple years to create a more resort like experience. The mountain is Huge! You couldn’t ask for more terrain and uncrowded slopes. They do a nice job grooming the more beginner terrain. The tree skiing is awesome on a powder day. The views are spectacular. There are no high speed quads but that adds to the nostalgia of the place. It is one of BCs best kept secrets in my opinion. Be sure to hit up Rafters Bar for No Shower Happy Hour. All the staff are friendly and helpful. They have mountain hosts at 9:00 and 12:30 at the base area to show you around the slopes if you like. The parking area can fill up quick on a powder day but, they have a shuttle from town. This place is RAD.

I can honestly say this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had, this restaurant served food so bad it was basically inedible. We ended up throwing a lot of it out, which says everything. The quesadilla had maybe half a breast of severely overcooked chicken and plastic cheese that didn’t even melt properly. The hot wings were completely dried out. My youngest waited over an hour for chicken fingers — unacceptable and inexcusable in any setting. The beef dip was a joke: one thin slice of beef, soggy bun, and “gravy” that tasted like warm water and olive oil. Truly awful. I left feeling very ill and spent a hour in the bathroom once we got home. The servers were the only bright spot — they were friendly, professional, and doing everything they could. The problem is clearly the kitchen staff, who are completely unqualified, and management who either don’t care or have no idea what’s going on. The restaurant needs to shut down completely until they can hire a competent kitchen team and management to rebuild basic food quality standards. I will absolutely never go back — and I strongly recommend others stay away until serious changes are made.

I haven't golfed here but the restaurant is great. I had an eight-ounce steak on bread with mushrooms and a generous salad for just $22. Great service and an awesome view from an outdoor table.

First time here. We had the nicest staff in the restaurant, very accommodating and the food was fantastic. The course was in fantastic condition. Love the layout. The only thing I would change is the campground would have a separate office so golfers aren’t waiting for campers to book in at the pro shop causing lineups. We are here for a week and plan on golfing a few times. Ron & Daphne Barson

Lovely golf course, had a great round here. Hope to come back soon… proshop employees were top tier! Respect.

Been golfing this course off and on for last 20+ years Beautiful course, pro is awesome…. But today was very slow, waited on every hole for 5-8 minutes Backed up everywhere I looked, no marshal and drink cart girl was very sporadic Hopefully this is a one-off as I enjoy this course Looks like they are trying to squeeze too many golfers in!

What a great experience. Stayed at the RV park and golfed this gem two days in a row. Kevin and his team were spot on. Enjoyed every moment abd looking forward to return.

Great golf course and the restaurant was excellent. They served us a full breakfast even though it wasn’t on the menu. Rueben after the round was incredible. Good beer too

Wonderful small museum. Exhibits included its industrial highlights, unique choices during Japanese internment, and up to the present day. Also the area information center and the staff were super helpful. Enjoyed driving up to see the old smelter stack up close..

Great immersive displays. Really enjoyed the Japanese Internment and hotel room setups. Good variety of resources explaining a wide variety of aspects. Extremely well done for a small town but could have been improved with a storytelling tour guide. I appreciated the option for walking tours. Very pleasantly surprised by this museum.

A very interesting little museum that walks you through everything you need to know about Greenwood’s history in no time! Definitely worth a visit to support local culture. Admission was $7.50 for adults and free for the little ones!

Very nice little museum and visitor center, the staff were so incredibly friendly and kind. She even showed us around the museum and showed us their new exhibit. Was very involved and interested in letting us know the history of Greenwood. I'd definitely be returning and to show other friends and family. Thank you so much!

The woman that helped me was great. Provided me with the maps I needed for my journey. She had a great knowledge of her surrounding area as well as many other locations in BC. Nice little gift shop/visitor information stop in the middle of town. Thanks again for the great service!

Great little museum and the private courthouse tour was pretty cool too. Elise was a wonderful host.

Loved the friendly staff, they gave us a tour. Lots of great history to look at and learn about.

Great brewery for the whole family! The beers are excellent and the space is cozy. There games, ample seating inside and out, they serve several non-beer options and NA beer as well. If you’re hungry, grab a bite to eat next door or bring some snacks to pair with your beer(s). The price points are surprisingly low. Definitely a great stop to make during your time in Republic! Love the board games and shuffleboard too. We visited during the Propector Days Beer’d competition. They also offer many live music events during the summer months. It is also dog friendly!

Great brewery here in Republic. Love the assortment of brews here. Never tried the pineapple cider. It was the bomb!! Recommend you come and try it. Super friendly staff.

Beer its great!! And the place it's clean make feeling you drink on the right place look fresh made beer Fuulflavor and good quality only little thing the beer it's warm and the glas too and that not like well

The flight let's you try all their beers, so start there. Honestly, we enjoyed all the beers. The staff was always checking in and sociable. Not a lot of indoor seating. Tables for the outside front benches would be nice. Lots of friendly locals and people that have returned yearly. Family owned and operated. Will return whenever we are headed through the area.

Always a great time down in Republic at the brewery. Wonderful atmosphere, great staff, delicious beers and if you happen to catch the live music, it's also fantastic. Just another reason among many to come to town for a visit. 10/10

Super cozy atmosphere inside, and put back is a beautiful little deck/patio area. Beers were all good, they have flights so you can sample everything on tap, service was good and friendly, definitely worth a visit!!

Good beer, friendly servers and patrons.

My son & I drove almost 3 hours one way, ( June 21, '25) from our home in Spokane, to visit the fossil digs at Stonerose Interpretive center in Republic. We brought our own tools, etc planning to spend several hours at the dig site. Well there really wasn't any rock (shale) left to split. It was old diggings that had already thoroughly been gone through prior to us. We were disappointed that more rock had not been pulled from the bank for people to work through. The bank itself was roped off from anyone getting to the rocks that hadn't yet been worked. It was an expensive outing for almost no fossil find to bring home. The dig site parking area is poor, and this site is not at all accessible for anyone who is disabled as in, in a wheelchair or on crutches. Or who needs a walking aid of any kind. If you are old, or very young, or you have bad knees or foot problems, forget this dig site altogether. It wasn't fun! Also we did not see facilities for using a bathroom. This was not explained to us while at the center before paying $30 ( for 2 people) to dig, nor is it on their website. We found this place highly difficult to navigate on the steep, loose shale as both my son & I have a disability in walking and were reduced to crawling around on all fours at times to prowl through the shale. Luckily I do have a mighty large service dog who was able to keep me from falling when trying to walk, or I wouldn't even have attempted getting out of our car. I guess for many people this would be worth it, but for us, it was not worth 6 hours of driving and $30.00.

The museum was being refurbished, so I can only comment on dig site - it was fun! Bring your own tools, pretty much any chisel will work. Site is in full sun so be prepared. You can leave site (lunch) and return. The site is short walk (200 yds?) from museum, disabled parking at dig. Pretty much 100% you will find some sort of fossil, likely fern or leaf, even without tools.

I’m sorry but if splitting rocks to reveal a leaf fossil to a sun it hasn’t seen in 50 million years isn’t pure poetry to you, are you even living??

I've multiple specimens from this site. For the price of admission, it's a great deal and a good way to spend a few hours outside. That a place as small as Republic has a site like this is incredible, and I hope to someday spend the better part of a week rummaging there for more fossils.

Friendly informative staff. Nice small exhibit of fossils. A good place to break rocks and get geared up to dig!

The center has a nice collection of fossils, and the volunteers gave us a great introduction. At the dig site, promising pieces of slate were hard to come by -- spent an hour looking for and splitting rocks, found two small fossil fragments. There are better fossil sites in western Washington, but worth a stop if you are in the area!

We had such a great day… Simon was super helpful and friendly! We had our 3 year old with us and the terrain was manageable… we found some cool fossilized leaves. Overall a wonderful experience!

Our visit to the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre was an absolute highlight of our trip. The admissions fee for our family of three was very reasonable, and the ticket agent was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. Since it was a Sunday, she even gave us a 15% discount, which was a pleasant surprise. She took the time to explain the loop trail and informed us about the day’s events, which made our experience smooth and enjoyable. The museum itself offers rich and thoughtful displays about the history and culture of the Okanagan people—both engaging and educational. The 1.5 km loop trail was easy to walk and full of interesting sights, including opportunities to learn more about desert ecology. Along the way, we found plenty of great spots to take memorable photos. One of the highlights was the snake presentation in the theatre, led by a biology researcher. She was knowledgeable and engaging, offering fascinating insights into local wildlife. Parking was plentiful, the hiking experience was excellent, and the entire atmosphere of the centre was peaceful, informative, and family-friendly. We highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area—it’s well worth it.

An absolute gem and must visit! The girl at front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Their new interactive exhibit ‘Tricksters’ was great as well but my favorite was the outdoor trails among the sagebrush and the village. Oh and the architecture of the building is just as brilliant!

The Centre was really good! I recommend visiting in the early morning or afternoon for a better chance to see wildlife. We only spotted some birds, unfortunately. The customer service was amazing. We had our little dog with us, which is usually not allowed in the park. Since it was hot outside and we couldn’t leave her in the car, the reception kindly let us bring her in and prepared a room with AC where she could stay comfortably in her box. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend visiting—especially for those who want to escape the dry, hot weather! 😬

I loved my experience here. Since I showed up at the end of the day, I wasnt charged a fee as I wasnt able to get very far but its a very spiritual place. I loved the trails, I love the facility, I loved the power you can feel of the people whose land it is. Im Cree from northern Saskatchewan and the young lady at the gift shop was from North Battleford Saskatchewan, that was a nice little laugh for us. I enjoyed my time and bought a Kokum scarf and some earrings.

A Truly Special Place – Worth Visiting More Than Once! We loved our visit so much that we came back the very next day! The area is rich with natural beauty—plenty of wildlife to observe and listen to, peaceful pine trees to rest under, and well-maintained shared spaces that make it easy to relax and connect with nature. One of the highlights was exploring the village and learning about the history and culture of the Osoyoos Indian Band. It added so much depth and meaning to our experience. This place is a perfect blend of serenity, nature, and heritage. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and connect with something deeper.

Worth every penny going for a learning experience indoor and outdoor. It takes you on a desert hike with some interactive displays. Sent a leisurely good 2 hours here. Very safe for a single person to explore on their own as well. Buy tickets at the front door in the building.

Wonderful cultural and geographical interpretation centre. I suggest going early in the morning at the heat is oppressive in the afternoon and the trails have little to no shade. Even in our short visit as we showed up just before closing time I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. We will return another time and walk the full trail.

We went to the beach in the city center, down by Boston pizza. The beach is clean sand is clean shore is clean water was refreshing. Not to busy . The shore line here is more sandy than other places. Come check it out ! Public washrooms. There nice . Place to by food. Grass area. Shade area.

Warm water to swim in, a very beautiful view of the mountains, on the other side of the lake is another country. There are great places nearby for camping. I would like to return to this place.

The lake is SO WARM! We went on the Canada Day long weekend and it was stellar. I recommend going on a less windy day so getting out of the water/being on the water isn’t as cold

Lake Osoyoos spans more than 5,700 acres and straddles the border of British Columbia, Canada and Washington state in the United States. The Okanagan River flows into Lake Osoyoos in a semi-arid region of British Columbia known as Desert Wine Country. This region has very low annual rainfall and some of the highest average temperatures in Canada. In fact, the lake is the warmest in Canada and is located in Canada’s only desert.

Beautiful town and lake. A tourist destination with water sports including a witbit. Pub, restaurants, cafes, fast food. And you are in fruit and wine country in Canada's desert. Many fruit stands and wineries in the area.

Nice place to kayak is the north end of this lake, at the Okanagan River entry. Larger grasslands in this area make for interesting kayaking.

We were driving passing by the lake, but attracted by its beauty. So we stopped and took some pictures.

WILL RETURN Enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Admission fee less than 10 bucks. Well worth the price. Amazing detailed work. Can easily spend 2 hours there. Another good family activity to enjoy other than exploring wineries and wine tasting.

If you are in the least bit into model trains, you will love this place!! Even my wife who doesn't give a damn about trains, model trains or dioramas was thoroughly impressed and spent an hour looking at and video recording this incredible exhibit that is a lifelong pain of one family! Check it out!!

Such great work and you can tell it's very well loved and taken care of! We spent a good amount of time looking through all the individual vignettes. Kids will enjoy the little buttons that they can use to animate certain scenes.

Not very big for the price. Just one large room. It was interesting to see but not worth almost $20 for two people. $5 is more realistic for what you get. Nice people. Very clean. Gift shop downstairs was very expensive. Would be nice if it had Air conditioning. We went here to escape the 40 degree heat wave in Osoyoos. It was very hot inside which was uncomfortable.

Great stop we've been to a couple of times. So many details to spot throughout the display and costs 6 of us less than $50 to get in. You can spend as much or as little time in the display as you would like!

Great place to take little kids, however it's a horrifying place to take a train fan, especially if they like or have a model railroad. European trains and structures mixed with every toy that was approximately the right size. Most scenes looked like a toy store exploded. The track work is tight radiuses, flex track, and ugly turnouts.

This place is amazing for young and old! We are so sad that it will be closed as of September 7, 2021. If you get a chance to go then definately do it! So worth the visit! We had toddlers and seniors with us and tennagers and everyone loved it. Such a lot of work and detail. Love it!

It’s not -only- the Autumn Gold that draws people to Wine Tasting here !!! Thanks for your great care & attention to our group, Steve !!!

Loved this place! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome (and a few jokes). As an all-around wine drinker along with a non-red drinker, the wines we tasted were delicious and right up our alley. The first half of the tasting was very informative, but the second half felt a little flat. There weren’t any descriptions of the wines, tasting notes, or production details shared. To be fair, there was a photoshoot happening behind us, which may have been distracting for the staff by that time. Overall, that did not take away from our experience—we still enjoyed our time here, and even took home a few bottles! We'll definitely be back and will be reccomending Wild Goose as a stop.

Their patio is just lovely with views of mountains and vineyards. Of course, their wine is delicious. I bought home their specialty wines as they taste unique flavors of sweetness. The laddies working on the morning of October 1st are as lovely as the views and wines.

We decided to come to Wild Goose today for a tasting and check out their new bistro. Thanks to Darren for a lovely wine tasting and thanks Steve for accommodating us for lunch. Delicious food, beautiful wine paired with a fantastic view. If you’re in the area stop by Wild Goose.

Lovely spot in Ok Falls. Lovely wines, the Muscat and Autumn Gold are a must try. Cheers to Karen for being an excellent host

Visited on Sep 21, 2025. Best experience in Okanagan Valley. The staff are as impressive as their wines in every aspect! Too bad didn't ask their names. Will recommend to everyone on social media.

Came here for a flight of wine and some snacks on their beautiful patio which had a great view of a vineyards. Great winery and lovely staff!

One of our old reliable favs. New tasting room, just opened in August, with stellar views. Primrose was a delight, and the wines were lovely, particularly the black label and Jimmy My Pal. The 'dog' branding is a sweet bonus.

We had our micro-wedding on September 10 and the entire process was effortless thanks to Tara and her staff! The recommended vendors were professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They all guided me through the planning and were very attentive. I couldn’t have done it without them. Everyone had a brilliant time, including 4 dogs! The food was amazing and my special requests were flawless!

Just underwhelming all around! Server brought is the wine but no glasses, we had to go get some after 5 min of waiting. The charcuterie board was basic at best. I don’t want to pay $30 and get saltine crackers on the board and basic cheddar cheese that looks like my 4 yr old grandson cut. Just not elevated at all! Server never checked in, no napkins at all so we used the blankets that were provided unfortunately. Definitely not this places norm that’s for sure!! 5/10

What a beautiful winery! We were guests here for a wonderful evening that was an evening to remember. The staff and hosts were delightful and friendly, and the guest wineries that were showcasing their wines were all pleasant and knowledgeable. The wines were great and it was definitely a place we will come back to.

2025 tasting room rebuild. Very nice. Scenic location. Beautiful views. Dog friendly.

Spent a nice afternoon at this winery. We tried a few different wines and all of them were excellent. Small menu selection but the food was great. The service was attentive and accommodating, while the atmosphere was wam and inviting. The view from the gazebo is also beautiful. Highly recommended if you're looking for a winery in the Okanagan Valley.

Wonderful winery, the buildings are very new and staffs are so nice!! We had a great time tasting and eating at their patio!

Whenever I make it Penticton, The Book Shop is always on my list for places to visit. I never leave without finding a treasure or two to add to my collection. Everyone is so friendly whenever I need a hand with finding a book or when checking out.

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.

My favorite place to go. Had a crummy experience 2 weekends ago. Older lady was basically refusing to help me find any books and look at my want list. Younger girl who usually helps me stepped up as usual and found a handful of my wish list. The younger girls here are always so helpful and amazing.

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.

Best selection of used books. An unique experience feeling like you are stepping into a story book or studio Ghibli universe. Books stacked everywhere you can look. Being able to trade in your old books for store credit is a wonderful way to keep the reading habit going.

Amazing. Many books, many sections, well organised. I left buying lots of books…

This is a cute second hand book store. Unfortunately, they didn't have what I was look for, but the staff were friendly and very helpful. I honestly could spend hours and a lot of money in this store.

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! 🍷

Easy access and parking. Great staff. Worth the stop

Thank you for your friendly, inviting, and patient welcome. The staff helped above and beyond , answering every question in explicit detail, taking the time to really help. That was so much appreciated, and I'll be back when I need some more hiking advice. Thanks!

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!!!

Stopped by here to pick up tickets to Fest-of-Ale and was really pleasantly surprised by the friendly and helpful staff. They had lots of helpful advice and some great resources for touring the surrounding wine country.

Eager to help with tailored information

The lady that was working was very friendly .and lots info and good prices .on some souvenirs. And as we where leaving the young man that worked there was coming to work. His co work said look i was just thinking you where going to miss our little dog ...

Awesome. This the BEST visitors centre. They were knowledgeable. Had an up to date list of local activities by day. Asked about our interests and length of time we were in the area. Then gave us a card with activities, date, time and directions.

We had an amazing time at Dirty Laundry ...the food, the wine & the atmosphere were all top notch. We enjoyed lunch with a view and had a great afternoon. Bob was a super host!!! Definitely worth the trip to Summerland!

Our visit was completely lovely from the moment we entered to room. Our tasting host was pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. She managed to host three separate tastings with ease and shared the winery story with the group of us. Her delivery was funny while informative. The winery decor cleverly plays up the dirty laundry theme.

I came up to the Okanagan with a girlfriend and she wanted to visit a winery. Out of all the wineries up here I chose Dirty Laundry for her to visit. I have brought family from Germany here, so I knew she would enjoy this one. The wine tasting was good and for only $6!!! Viktoria was very informative and super friendly, when we were looking to purchase wine she came and asked if we need helping with any of our choices. After we were done wine tasting we sat out on the patio to listen to live music and have some pizza. Oh was the pizza ever good!!! And the views and ambience on the patio were beautiful. When we left my girlfriend said to me, thank you so much for bringing me to this winery, I loved it!! So sounds like my choice of wineries to visit was perfect!

Absolutely incredible place. We arrived on our travels from Ottawa, to find out sadly that no dogs were allowed on the patio. Sherri the Manager was fantastic and found us a spot to accommodate us and Lewis our Golden Doodle. Moreover, she went above and beyond with a bottle of the Vineyards Pinot Gris - gratis. An amazing spot and great customer service Sherri and love the vineyard.

Wow, wuat a hidden gem and concept! Excellent ratings, tastings, wine, atmosphere, pizza and smokehouse. If you wine touring finish here! Smokehouse and pizza are very impressive. Staff excellent and trained, red wines are excellent. We will be back. It's a goto for Summerland wine tastings!

This is one of my favourite wineries, consistently great wine and always a welcoming atmosphere! Recently got to experience their patio and shared a bottle of wine and a pizza and honestly did not want to leave! Can’t wait to go back!!

This was our first time, and I'm totally coming back. The pizza was awesome, and the view from the patio was incredible. We had to wait for a table, so we did the wine tasting, and I'm so glad we did. It was fun trying new wines. I can't wait to go back.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a lovely visit. Our guide, who is also the owner, was wel versed in the Grist Mill and its history. He provided a nice tour and kept us all entertained with his wit and charm. We prearranged sandwiches for our large group and although we waited for a bit to receive them at the table they were filling and very good.

Hidden gem with loads of restored history. Knowledgeable volunteers enhance the experience and they even occasionally have period cooking and baking to taste. The grounds are beautifully groomed and maintained for leisurely enjoyment. The souvenir shop is full of local preserves and treats, will come back again when in town!

Very enjoyable to see a actual mill and it's inner workings. It is also set on a beautiful location along, of course, a creek! This place has much more to offer than just a step back in time. They also have a lovely restaurant where they craft very fine, locally sourced cuisine. What a pleasure it is to be around such friendly, helpful staff. I can't wait to go back!

It was a fabulous experience to visit this historic site. To learn the history of the still working mill and property I recommend everyone stop in on their way through Keremeos. The staff is friendly, engaging and share so much history in our conversations. The kitchen on site cooks recipies from it's early years.

Awesome place. Shout out to young man in the mill for detailed explanation

Such a hidden gem! A living museum really takes you back in time. The volunteers are so knowledgeable and friendly, well worth the small price of admission. Tasted Woodford oven baked zucchini bread. Apricots right off the tree. And little gift shop with restaurant is fabulous.

Such an incredible place to visit and learn so much about our local history. Stunning space, beautiful gardens, helpful staff. Loads of room for kids to run around. I will definitely be returning as much as possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great campsite. Nice playground and bike area for kids. Sinks for dishes, showers, flush toilets. Only downside is that the highway traffic can be loud at night. We were in the sites closest to the highway. Maybe they're quieter further up from the road. Overall very nice camping experience. Wish it was longer. An no mosquitos when we were there!

One of the absolute best campgrounds I have ever been to! No wonder it's hard to find a vacancy. They have a super nice and clean modern playground, a bicycle skills track, one of the cleanest washrooms you'll ever find, super tidy and clean camping spots with plenty of shade, some very nice park rangers and breathtaking views!

It was my first time camping on this campground and We stayed at #48. Great campsite with flush toilets and hot showers . The facilities were well maintained by the Staffs . The Staffs were frequently checking the camp area and very friendly. My family really like the place and we looking forward to camp again Thank you

I've always had a great experience camping here. Bathrooms and showers are some of the cleanest I've seen for a campground, with kitchen sinks located behind the main building to do dishes. There are also sinks and flush toilets located in a couple spots around the loops. There's a big kids' playground and a bike track and walking trails located in the campground, which is a nice addition. The campsite is located next to the highway, so there is road noise, but I only noticed it a couple times during the day.

We had a nice campsite. Partial shade. Many sites had no shade. Not to much to do at the site, any activities such biking, hiking, fishing you need to drive to get to. We could hear hwy traffic the whole time. The kids playground was amazing, that was about the best this about the site.

It's a super clean campground - very clean bathrooms and lovely showers. The water taps are very close but the actual location in Manning Park (so close to the highway) leaves it at a 4/5 vs 5/5

Beautiful campground. Spacious and clean. Ground was easy to set up camp. Each site also has a picnic table. Rangers were constantly doing their rounds with firewood. Bonus - has flushable toilets and warm showers!

Manning Park itself is absolutely stunning, I definitely enjoyed exploring the trails and love that it’s dog friendly. I stayed in a Standard Cabin at the resort and in all honesty was a little disappointed in its upkeep and cleanliness for how much they charge a night for it. The floors were not clean, the amount of cobwebs in the rafters show that it has not had a good clean in a hot minute. One of the sets of sheets in the bunk bed was not clean. Overall just not what I expected. (I understand it’s a cabin and it happens) I do however appreciate the resort being dog friendly. I checked out the loon lagoon and it was decent. I like that there is a shop with all the necessities and the restaurant was decent. Again location is amazing 🖤

We stayed in a standard cabin for 2 nights as our son and daughter-in-law got married on Sept. 27. The ceremony was at Lightning Lake, which was a very stunning site. The accommodation, service and wedding venue were amazing. The outdoor seating at the Alpine Room was a bonus and they had patio heaters (we brought a few blankets). The meal was delicious and the staff were very accommodating. A perfect evening in a beautiful setting. So impressive!

This place left a lasting impression on my impromptu trip to Canada. The road was a bit long and arduous, but the scenery was beautiful, and I was in a good mood. The resort had an old-fashioned feel, but it had everything I needed, and I especially enjoyed the quietness. I'll never forget the countless stars in the sky at night. I also had dinner at the resort, and the burger and chicken were quite good. Next time, if I have time, I'd like to stay longer.

The surrounding area, amenities and customer service gets a 5/5. The room gets a 1/5. We stayed here for my best friends wedding. The views around the lodge, the trails, and the customer service is unbeatable. It’s nice, especially for children, that there is a pool, an arcade, a store and there is a resteraunt as well as a bar for the adults. What was grossly disappointing was the rooms. Staying at this resort is not cheap. It cost me over $600 for two nights and I got a room with two uncomfortably hot queen beds, a bathroom that was covered in dust, no air conditioner in the middle of summer, and no fan in the bathroom. They did provide 1 tiny desk fan that did nothing except barely move the hot air around. I’m prettt shocked that this place couldnt out some window air conditioners in the room or at the very least couldn’t replace one of the very outdated lights in the room with a ceiling fan.

My friends and I stayed in a standard cabin. I was kind of shocked at how poorly the kitchen was stocked and how many issues we had with the amenities. No kettle (though they give you tea), no spatula, broken scissors, broken strainer, and one of the burners didn't work. There is a tiny cutting board. Hidden on top of the microwave. There are no mixing bowls. I'm extremely glad we brought our own everything. Oh, and none of the clocks work/were set. The bathroom sick didn’t drain. The blankets were the incorrect size for the bed, so they didn't cover us properly. Also, the TV casting isn't secure, so you can just cast a video to another cabin if their TV is on. If the cost wasn't so high, I wouldn't have minded. If there was information on their website telling you what they had in the cabin, I would have minded less. But as a BC local, there are a ton of stunning, well stocked cabins in extremely stunning areas. Our most common holiday are these little getaways to cabins around BC with friends. Why would I suggest a cabin that will cost the same, but provide way less?

Manning Park is such a gem. The scenery is unreal — mountains, trails, and lakes that look straight out of a postcard. It’s the perfect mix of chill and adventure: you can hike, camp, ski, or just hang out and take in the views. The atmosphere is super laid-back, and it never feels overly crowded, which makes it even better. Definitely one of those spots you go to once

Impressive Campground – Clean, Well-Maintained, and Peaceful This is a very well-maintained and clean campground—truly one of the best I’ve visited. It was the first time I’ve come across pit toilets that are completely odor-free, which speaks volumes about the high standards of cleanliness. The campground staff are exceptionally friendly and dedicated. They clearly take pride in keeping the grounds and individual campsites in excellent condition. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, and is thoughtfully spaced and surrounded by trees, offering a sense of privacy despite the campground’s popularity. Water taps are conveniently located nearby, so there's no need to arrive with a full tank in your RV or trailer. Generator hours are standard: 9:00–11:00 AM and 6:00–8:00 PM. Showers are available, and there's a short walk to the lake where canoe rentals are offered—a great way to enjoy the surroundings. The sani-dump station is located approximately 1 km east on the highway, just before the visitor center. Note: a fee is required to use it. The right-side lane lacks a male hose connector and sometimes fails to accept loonies, but the left-side unit functions properly. Overall, a great experience—highly recommended for anyone seeking a clean, well-organized, and peaceful camping destination.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful waterfall, great location, each to get to.

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

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

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