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

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

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

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

Awesome park!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very cool park with ample parking, a playground for kids, paved walking paths for handicapped visitors, and several walking/hiking trails for more adventurers. There's also a fish hatchery there, not sure how active it is. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

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

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

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

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

Had a great time at the zoo with friends and family. The food prices at the Oasis Cafe are steep and for what you pay the food is nothing fantastic or memorable. Burgers are anywhere from $16-$18, small fries are $5.75 and large fries are $7.75. It is better to pack your own food that you want and like. The train and the bouncy castles weren't operational either which was disappointing. My little girl was really looking forward to seeing both in action. The animals were great and the grounds staff were busy at work.

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

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

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

First time in the zoo and we had such a great experience! We followed the schedule to meet sone animals and it was so worthy. My kids loved it! They also have a very nice Dinosaur area! Kids have playground and big bounce castles! There is food, ice cream, and very affordable store to buy souvenirs!

Today we visited the zoo for the first time and I’m really happy with the overall experience. We saw many animals. the most interesting thing I enjoyed to ride the critter cruiser. Zoo was very neat and clean. It was fun 🤩

Zoo was fun, worth renting the bicycle or little cars. The weather in this area is extremely unpredictable we visited in July and it was so windy and chilly we had to buy sweaters at the gift shop. I was happy they had little cafe to get food. Not as much animals as I expected but I also understand it costs a lot to maintain and feed many. The back in time exhibit with the dinosaurs was our favorite. For the administration of the zoo ,I see a lot of land space so maybe you guys can team up with some agriculture school to start some gardens to help self sustain or reach out to the Government for some funding. Just some suggestions but I'm sure you're trying the best you can.

Gorgeous urban nature park with a 2.17 km paved pathway around a stunning man made lake complete with sizeable fountain. For bird enthusiasts, various water fowl and marsh birds can be heard and spotted, such as the red winged black bird. You might even spot a painted turtle sunning themselves! There are 3 playground areas, a water park, outdoor pool, picnic areas and baseball diamond. Plenty of open and shaded spots with park benches available, including a small floating dock for fishermen or anyone wanting to enjoy the lake breeze.

This is a great place to hang out with friends and family on a nice sunny day. Me and my husband usually come here for an after dinner walk. We love how relaxed and serene the atmosphere here. Bicycles are allowed here, pets on a leash are allowed except by the playground area. Washrooms are available and picnic tables are all over the place as well as benches. It’s a good 30-45 minute walk if you do the full circle. I like the bridge area the most especially during sunset. Also, I have seen a few men fishing by the dock and I have asked them what fishes are usually caught and they said it’s mostly trouts here. So, if you like to fish you can try it here. A lot of geese all over the place so watch out for land mines! Lol! Parking may be a challenge during peak hours. This place is friendly to all ages, wheelchair and stroller accessible!

The park is beautiful, well maintained and has a lot of nature. It is family and pet friendly. It has public bathrooms. It is a good place to practice many different sports including jogging and running. Also good for a picnic or to enjoy good time outside with family, pets and friends. The only thing preventing it to be 5 stars is that it does not have lights enough to enjoy it when it is dark.

Fairly nice park with pretty views. Paths are paved. Lots of parks along the loop, with playgrounds, washrooms, benches, and parking. Also a place to fish aswell as a boat ramp. Expect to see lots of ducks, birds and squirrels. Sadly a lot of homeless hanging out and camping in the area. Was approached multiple times while walking the loop which made me a bit uncomfortable as a young woman. Maybe not the best place to walk alone.

EDIT- this should be called Goose Lake, the park is just ripe with goose droppings. They’ve covered the walkways, paths, all the fields. It’s just absolutely disgusting! Other than that I could be beautiful park for humans but the geese have overtaken!!! My dog loves to go for walks around the lake but right now he doesn’t even want to walk the pathways and just directs to the sidewalk outside the park!

I loved this park, I went with my partner and my 7-month-old baby, we did the complete circuit, we were able to see many animals and plants, and the view of the lake is very beautiful. I recommend it

Beautiful park with a 2.5 km looped walking trail around the lake. You can see Mt Baker in the distance and there are benches and picnic tables around the park where you can sit and enjoy the view. There are parking lots scattered in different parts of the park and a big playground for kids next to each lot. Very clean and close to residential neighbourhoods. This is a beautiful park to visit for families, friends, and lovers.

We visited Stave Falls Powerhouse today with a group of kids and were genuinely impressed. It was fun and engaging for both kids and adults. You could easily spend hours exploring all the exhibits—there’s so much to see and learn. Everything was very informative, interactive, and well presented. I didn’t expect such a high-quality museum experience right here in Mission. Highly recommended for families or anyone curious about local history.

This museum is a hidden gem and a must-stop, and only $8! Very informative, interesting, and interactive too. Great for kids and adults alike. The guide on our tour was very knowledgeable. The only thing I wish is that the tour had moved at a slightly faster pace, since we were in a bit of a rush. Still, I highly recommend it, such a cool place! The ice cream and other treats inside are also very reasonably priced. The museum is well conditioned, which makes it another great stop on a hot summer day. Overall, an amazing experience!

The old powerhouse has been transformed into a fascinating visitor attraction. Admission is just $8 for adults (as of September 2025) — and it’s absolutely worth it. Inside, you’ll find an exhibition area and an interactive zone where you can try out different experiments to better understand electricity and power. Walking among the massive machines that operated for nearly a century (1912–2000), I was amazed by the scale and craftsmanship — especially considering how limited construction technology was at the time. On top of that, the staff are all super friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Best visiting experience for this place . Good documentary of power plant and best fun science creative activity. Good place to visit and get knowledge about electricity generation and power plant. Highly recommended place

Excellent stop! Very impressive displays, including interactive displays and visual ones where you can get up close to the generators and turbines. Really well done - thank you BC Hydro. Highly recommend going!

This place is a treasure trove of info for anyone new to electricity production. It’s a historical gem that takes you back in time to the early 1900s, revealing all the secrets of how things were done back then. It’s a must-visit for both beginners and kids!

This hydroelectric power station began operating in 1912 and was one of the largest in North America at the time. The guided tours are very thorough, making it a great place for both kids and adults to learn about hydropower.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Really great hike. However be prepared. Have good fitting hiking boots, walking stick, water & food. Be aware trail has rocks & roots that stick out and are trip hazards

Piece of heaven so clean and peaceful views are unreal

A huge Lake just north of Concrete, Wa.WA. Plan to go there next summer months to fish for Sockeye Salmon. Found a wonderful fishing shop in the Concrete, Wa. Area. The owner was a wealth of information about fishing local lakes & Rivers.

I went to the Swift Creek Campground, it was very nice. The lake is quiet with very few people there.

Beautiful hike in the woods at Baker Lake South Trail on the way to the Anderson Point Campground on July 11, 2017. It was a short hikes approx 4 Miles round trip up and and down the hills with beautiful some old growths of cedar trees. I love the boardwalks in some parts of the trail. The little bridge to cross the creek 10 minutes before the campground is damaged or washed off (hopeful it's fixed by now). It was difficult to access to the other side however we saw two hikers made it across on their hands and knees with their huge packs.

Really scenic lake. Quite a drive to get to but that’s the case for most beautiful views. Mt. Baker is spectacular and we paddled right up to a waterfall and a raging tributary. Nice, free facilities at the pse boat launch.

Beautiful place. Want to get out the city and relax. This is it. You can join nature and have fun. Take the kids to xplore. Love this place the wife and the little can't get enough.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great trail for the whole family. Not very long but for the more adventurous there are some side trails.

Awesome scenery....right by the river, obviously....BUT POT HOLES galore. Taking a Toyota Matrix was no fun. Time to sell this car for a 4x4

Vert beautiful provincial park. There are also some of campgrounds here.

It's a small park but they have rehabilitated an old salmon spawning stream putting it back to what it was before we humans put our footprint on it. It has very refreshing easy to walk hiking trails through the forest and sign boards explaining different highlights along the way.

Chipmunk Creek ATV riding was great but alot of heights involved and not particularly wide paths. But there are several at the base that are at ground level and the river/rapids stretch a great length next to the trails and there is even a small spot where it 'looks like' u could take your machine across the creek...we will be testing that out the next time we go back! Beautiful views everywhere you go

Great facilities and beautiful trails.

Has the feel of an old moss covered forest . Beautiful.

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.

It was a little basic and I feel as a tourist it was not a memorable experience. My suggestion is to make it different and memorable. Maybe plastic plants, Buddhist statues, affirmation messages, sounds of nature and things like that. Offer meditation. You might even charge more for a better healing experience. I think this place has the potential to be amazing given its location across from the beach.

It's such an old mineral swimming pool I do not like it. My kids didn't have fun. It doesn't have an outdoor swimming pool, but it is an expansive pool.

Nice hot mineral pool shallow to 4 ft deep. With cement sitting places inside the pool under water. Sitting on it puts you up to the neck. Recommended pool time 15 minutes. Out of the pool lots of beach type chairs. It wasn't too crowded midweek. Lots of metered parking outside. One can rent lockers and towell. Need to take a shower before going into the pool and after. The water was hot but not too hot.

Although the pool felt awesome after our long drive -I felt it was very run down. The hand blower did not work in bathroom. The Matt's in change rooms were ripped. One of the two toilets was plugged and the place was dirty, no bathing suit spinner or plug to dry your hair. Radium and Ainsworth were beautiful outdoor springs and charged 2.00 more. We were through here in 9 years ago and remember the beautiful pools outside now it's not open to the public very sad!

2025-Nov-15, the cashier boy seem doesn't like his job or people (impolite). Hope you smile more when you do customer service. Pool is not crowded, clean. A lot of locker and changing room. There is a big window facing the lake.

A bit outdated. But overall staff are okay and the pool water is comfortable and warming-hot. Worth a visit. Make sure to call in before you drive over though to make sure they are open. Parking is free 5 minutes walk away before the visitor Centre, or paid parking within 1 minute walk away. Entry is CA$16 per person general ticket, all tax & fees inclusive.

I took my granson son twice at the posted times it said on the web site , it was Not Open..Several other people , tourists were there outside also disapointed it wasnt open. When I eventualy got in and asked the life guard why it was closed he said there was a shortage of life guards for The Publc Mineral Pool ? third time lucky ? I followed the times posted on the pool doors after the second attempt failed. I have been going to the pool over the years and For a World Class Destination , the Public Mineral Pool has gone down hill big time . The pool tiles need a good clean as do the pool water gutters and a coat of paint and wood stain would be a good idea also .New curtains in the changing rooms to brighten it up. Very disapointing to see a World Class Destination used by people from all over the world that are not staying at the Hotel neglected like this . :(

It is overall a great campsite, our site was spacious enough (some sites are too crowded/near each other) and well maintened. Not sure year round but there were a bit of bees. The water is clear and with some fish. The forest logging roads on the way is a beginners level and not much rocks but plenty of potholes. Easy camp within 2hrs from the lower mainland. Please be diligent in researching and booking campsites via the BC parks website.

INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL hike. I do recommend being prepared. If you go early, there will be a lot of spider webs on the path. You need a stick. We didn't see a another human the entire hike. Very nice walk, easy difficulty. We saw the bear poop and knew he was around. We only had one can of Bubbly with us. We were city slickers not prepared at all. The threat of the bear is real.

Definitely enjoyed the campground, very clean. The park Rangers, we're constantly driving around, making sure that all the garbage cans recycling cans were all clean and emptied. Outhouses were clean. It's nice. Sandy beach area with lots of picnic tables. Make sure you bring extra tarps. In case it gets windy, so you can make a wind shelter. To block the wind

Beautiful place to relax , if you coming for camping there is a lots of good spots to choose from. Swimming, walking, or relaxing with the book you choose what you like 💖🌞🏕

Hicks Lake is a hidden gem! The water is clean, calm, and surprisingly warm - perfect for swimming. It’s a great spot for kayaking, with a few small islands you can paddle to and relax on their quiet, scenic beaches. Peaceful and beautiful, it’s a perfect escape into nature.

Beautiful lake, very well kept! The drive up isn’t super rough either which was nice!

This lake is absolutely gorgeous. Warm water great for swimming. Lots of beaches and rock areas so there’s room for everyone. There are dog aloud areas and no dog allowed areas. Multiple bathrooms pick Nick tables and swimming areas. Great trails to walk and explore. Lots of free parking and wheelchair accessible. There is camping available as well. Great Lake to take the family to. Sun and shade areas. Lots of geese to enjoy but with that comes a lot of geese poop. The geese poop is the only downfall to this lake

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great rest area. A lot of room can even stay overnight with self contained RV. There are toilets as well as EV charging station and a plaque that explains the history. Unfortunately, people do not put their garbage in the garbage bins so there are some areas that it is a bit of a mess

Last stop on my trip through the Kootenays! Didn't know there was an EV station here. But there are pit toilets! The info on the hope slide is very sobering. The power of nature unleashing itself is just incredible sometimes. There was a lake here????

Unexpected discovery during our roadtrip to Osoyoos this year. We stopped to get some leg rest and found this interesting historical spot. Stop by and visit this place, read about historical events happened here in 1960s. There is parking with EV charging stations, washrooms, and picknick tables with a killer view.

Not much to say here, its a big memorial of a tragic slide and also a marker for a Canadian Air Force plane crash. Thank you to all who serve.

Fascinating piece of Canadian history I knew nothing about until I went for a motorcycle ride and stopped at this place. When you actually see the volume of rock that moved with your own eyes, it is quite humbling. A single rock slide reshaped an entire valley, took out a lake and killed 4 people. Don't fight mother nature is a valid saying; she will win every battle.

Witness breathtaking mountain scenery and explore the site of one of Canada’s largest landslides. Learn about the 1965 disaster through on-site displays and enjoy a powerful reminder of nature’s strength.

Breathtakingly beautiful The stillness is eerie The wildlife is there if you look carefully We saw Yellow Belly Marmots Very cool There is electric charger stations here & washrooms And a Picnic bench There is a info plaque of what happened on this historic site on January 9, 1965 in the Nicolum Valley in the Cascade Mountains It's a 10 min drive east of Hope, BC on highway 3 Updated April 22 2022

Been here before and decided to bring our road trip to pass by here. Although online suggested buying tickets online, this place was not busy at all with zero line ups and ample parking. The airtram experience was great offering great views to and from its lower facility. This place features multiple exhibits, gift shop, gold panning station, cafe (reviewed separately), bridge, and fudge store that offers a decent experience to the average tourist. Compared to my previous experience, this place feels a little dead. Perhaps it's not the summer season yet, but I feel like the shops they had originally have turned to exhibits for the sake of cutting manpower costs. The gold panning station was kind of lacklustre without anyone teaching about the mechanics like before. Overall it's a solid 3 and very hard for me to place a 4 like before.

Spectacular views and a unique experience, but a few things to know before you go. Hell’s Gate is definitely worth a visit if you’re driving through the Fraser Canyon. The gondola ride across the canyon is short but breathtaking, and the views of the rushing Fraser River are stunning. The suspension bridge and historical displays add a nice touch, and the whole place feels like a piece of BC history. However, parking is very limited, so try to arrive early. The on-site restaurant has a very limited menu — mostly sandwiches (around $14), two soups, fries, and burgers. The food is overpriced and not very impressive. Also, the gift shop, while fun to browse, is quite expensive. Still, the scenery makes up for the downsides. If you manage your expectations for food and shopping, the overall experience is memorable and well worth it. Also there's only one bathroom at the bottom of the Canon

Been running since 1968 and well worth stopping and doing the tram. A good history lesson on it being part of the gold rush. Great gift shop and restaurant, staff are very friendly.

A great place to stop and stretch your legs on a long road trip and well worth the time spent. A great look into the history of the salmon runs on the river. There’s a great little ‘spooky’ self-guided tour and the suspension bridge was definitely a bit hair raising. Also, they have a penny crusher machine so make sure you have some loonies!

Skip it! Don’t waste your money here. They had the most unfriendly staff, if you can even find one. The place is like a ghost town. If I knew how rundown this place had gotten, I wouldn’t even pay $5 a person to get in let alone the hefty price of $37. Thank goodness my son under 5 still otherwise it’s $32 a kid! There are zero activities there, the “gold panning” is a disgrace - the water is a biohazard and there was barely any gravel let alone any “gold”. I feel offended for all the tourist that come here and think this place represents Canada in any way shape or form. Also, 1 single gum ball at the candy store was $23.09…. Excuse me whatttt?!?

I've been to hell's gate a number of times and it has a nice view of the Frazer river but there isn't really much to do once you've taken the airtram to the bottom. The gift store is lacking and doesn't have much things to offer but the fudge on the other had is really good. The tickets for hells gate are kind of expensive but understanding this place is more of a tourist attraction. 7/10

Super disappointing and limited experience. This is my Honest review with no filter or sugar coating. I would have given it one star but fell sorry because nature and surrounding elements are spectacular indeed. Where do we start with negatives?! First off the price set at $35 is not only steep but completely unjustified. I read a review before I went there that it’s very rundown and nothing really to do there. I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Once you get up across the river after a very. Beautiful but short tram ride you have a suspension bridge, a counter that was once a restaurant, a sad, overpriced and limited store, a small gallery history museum and a Fudge and candy store that sells terrible fudge by the way. The restaurant looks so run down that we didn’t order anything. They had 5-6 food choices on the menu and it’s an actual counter self serve cashier. The store sells some items and cheap souvenirs some you’d find in Vancouver aquarium and bc ferries but much more pricey. The sweet shop / ice cream fudge was a total joke. I got a sea salt and caramel. If you’ve never had a fudge in your life there is a small chance you might like it. It was salty like they dumped the salt and rolled it into a mushy paste with some hint of sweet caramel. I almost died in the first bite. The whole place seems unkept and rundown. It really is a shame because it is such a heritage site and deserves to shine. I imagine if a better owner take care of this place it could receive some boost and major upgrades.

Was there for wellness retreat. Beautiful setting... very scenic. Loved sleeping by the roaring river. Friendly and very helpful staff. Retreat leaders Naomi and Ally were knowledgeable and competent. Food was delicious! Only suggestion: Would have appreciated more accommodation for those of us who still love gluten, eggs, and dairy 🙏 Thank you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary just a couple of hours from home at the most charming little gem tucked in the mountains—REO Resort. Our package included everything, but due to feeling unwell, we kept things simple and soaked in the beauty of the resort and the nearby lakes. And truly, that was more than enough. We were blown away by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. The resort was immaculately clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. Even though the main bathrooms were out of order during our stay (and making the trek every hour while 34 weeks pregnant felt like a hike in itself!), we still had a wonderful experience. The food deserves its own review—every meal was intentional, fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious. Five-star dining that we’re still dreaming about! It was exactly what we needed. Quiet, restorative, and deeply special. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience here at REO! The amazing: the staff are so friendly and helpful. Bryan and Karen really care about this property and business and it shows in the way they treat each of us like a valued guest. The tents were beautiful and clean, right by the river. The food is homemade, and delicious. It is served by the staff along with some help-yourselves on the side. The good to know, in case you are planning to go: the river noise level is a bit high even for a sound sleeper like me, I would actually recommend wearing light earplugs to block out the loud white noise! The last 8km are all varying levels of gravel, so drive a car that can handle the bumps and pebbles. Overall, I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering!

I met up with 4 long-time friends for a 5 days getaway and we had never been to REO before. It far exceeded my expectations! The yurts were large, comfortable and had excellent deck furniture for hanging out by the river. The food was delicious, fresh, and varied in flavours (and plentiful!). The staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner Bryan checked in with us every day, and accepted our teasing with ease. They have done an incredible job rebuilding after the devastating forest fire 2 years ago - from the yurts and yoga buildings, to the hammocks and hot tub, dining area and indoor and outdoor showers, it's a treat to visit. We did rafting and yoga, but added on archery when we got there - it was a surprise how much they had to offer! This is a family-run business with a long and dedicated history to this area and it's connection to nature.

Our family had the most enjoyable visit to REO last week. The resort provided exceptional service, including great food, comfortable tents/beds with exceptional river views at each site, and very helpful staff. The river rafting was a great experience, with professional guides who made the trip down river a great one. The Yoga classes were lead by a great instructor with the most beautiful views available. The private beach and hot tub offered a great place to relax and recharge. There was so much to do, we required more time to do it all! Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a girls weekend here and it was lovely. The tent was beside the river with a beautiful deck. The beds were comfortable and it was close to the bathrooms. All of the services were great and the food was fantastic. Massages were great, Yoga was excellent and kayaking was fun. I will definitely be coming again to enjoy more activities.

Fantastic rafting on the Nahatlatch river! The staff were all great. Very fun and lots of good humour. They served us an excellent lunch of burgers and the best potato salad I've ever had, and the hot tub was a treat after rafting. Thanks for a great day!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excellent place to camp out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nice Staff + wish IT was Easier 2 Win though

Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is very uplifting.

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

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

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

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

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

Lovely walking trails, lots of wildlife and great sporting facilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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