Myra Canyon Adventure Park

Adventure sports center

Woodland park with zip lining, tree-top courses & climbing routes, plus team-building games.
Slide 1 of 8
Awesome experience taking our 12 & 15 year old nephew/niece there for the afternoon! We did the “big kid” high rope adventure course and zip lines. There are 6 different courses to choose from, some very challenging but all do-able! Definitely make time for the zip lines. We spent 3 hours there but it could have been more! Options to buy a few snacks, but I’d recommend packing something. There are places to have a picnic and eat. Washrooms too. There was a chance of rain/thunderstorm when we went and they said they would possibly have to close the course, but luckily they did not as the clouds stayed away. So, check the weather before you go. Owner and staff was very nice, albeit a little lax on safety (these were their words— referring to other staff that didn’t know/enforce some safety rules). Nonetheless it was a great day! Would recommend and return!
Overall was a great experience, I wanted to be challenged with the different difficulties they had for courses. Felt like a full body workout but in the most fun way! Had to mentally push myself through the fear, which I thought was cool :). Amazing views of the mountains and the valley, stopped a couple times during courses to take some pictures. Only rated it 4/5 because I thought the zipline part would be more than just 3 short lines. Learned then that this place is definitely obstacle course dominant. Would highly recommend for a good mental booster and workout :).
I took my hiking buddy here on the 8th of August, (did this 6 years ago) we did a lot of adventures but this was another level of adventure for her, she had a blast. What I can recommend is bring gloves to protect your hands from blisters, there's a lot of obstacles, unfortunately 5 were closed cause the tree died but they did put more zip lining to enjoy. Staff were friendly and nice, we had a blast. We wil come back again next year. (From Alberta)
This was by far the best hidden gem no one told us but we just find out in Kelowna... everyone with kids MUST visit this place. I felt like the owner himself don't want to be a millionaire.. 😊no ads .. poor signage and roads.. hats off to the lovely staff..
We attended the Scare Walk for Halloween and let me tell you I have never been so scared in my life!!! It was the best Halloween experience I had, I actually felt like I was in a horror movie….and I don’t get scared easily! The props were great, the walk through the forest was long, and the live actors did a great job scaring the 💩 out of us!
This trail was terrifying! My friend and I screamed the whole way. The staff were incredibly helpful; besides scaring us, they were also very kind and gave us directions. The path was a bit dark, but perfect for Halloween. One of the staff members told us that this haunted park is the scariest in Kelowna. I totally agree! 😂 You definitely have to come here for a unique Halloween experience! 🎃
This place is all about outdoor adventure in the trees. The park has high ropes courses, climbing routes, and zip lines that range from kid-friendly to pretty challenging, so it works well for families or groups with mixed ages. Staff are friendly and safety-focused, which helps if you’re new to this kind of activity. Parking is available on-site and usually straightforward, though it can get busy in peak summer. There aren’t hiking trails or camping here—it’s more of a half-day activity spot rather than a full park experience. No big amenities like washrooms beyond the basics, so plan accordingly. The views of the surrounding canyon are a nice bonus, and it’s close enough to combine with a visit to the Myra Canyon Trestles if you want a full day out.
It was awesome! 7 courses of varying difficulty and beautiful views. Very friendly and welcoming staff!

Beautiful lake... must visit everyone and enjoy ur lovely memorable moments of life.
Huge beautiful lake spanning Kelowna, Lake country and Vernon, BC Lots of boat launches and beaches. Downtown Pier is amazing by the marina and great night life.. good vibe
Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, is a long, deep freshwater lake stretching about 135 km between Penticton and Vernon. It’s a hub for recreation, offering swimming, boating, wineries along its shores, and scenic beaches in Kelowna and surrounding communities. The lake is also steeped in legend, said to be home to “Ogopogo,” a mythical lake creature that has become a local cultural icon.
Honestly speaking, Kelowna has nothing to offer, specifically during the time we went " September end". Price are hiked at hotels but did not give me value for money. Driving along the lake was good feeling, but wont be fun for othera
Very big and beautiful with lots of sandy beaches, lots of beautiful access. If you're into boats, many boat rental places available near by to get on to the lake. We rented an airbnb near the lake and it was wonderful. Very clean, the water looks very beautiful.
Love this area of the valley... It's beautiful no matter where u look.. Stunner! Happy adventures beautiful humans
Very beautiful lake, amazing gardens, fantastic wineries, wonderful water sports
It's a beautiful lake,many beautiful home, boats,planes,from Vernon to pentdition,I paddle the whole in 3 days it was amazing,
Knox Mountain Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Scenic park with various ecosystems & activities like beach swimming, mountain biking & disc golf.
Slide 1 of 8
Knox mountain park in Kelowna is a great place to take a nice hike, or bike, on a lovely, sunny day in the Okanagan. It’s the areas largest natural park. We would take friends and family here for a stroll in the rolling hill trails, with its switch backs winding up the mountain. It has a quaint, winding, wooden fences and steps to help you get to the top for spectacular views. You can see the city, lake Okanagan and the bridge that divides eastern and western Kelowna. There is also a wooden lookout tower that is a fun spot to take photos from. Take lots of water on a sunny day if you are going in the summer, as Kelowna can be scorching hot at times. A hat and sunglasses are a must! It is a moderate hike that kids can do for lovely views of the Okanagan. Dogs should be on leashes, but there is a dog park here as well. It’s open 6 am to 10 pm.
A great place for hikes and different levels of activity. You can mountain bike, hike straight up to the viewpoint, walk up a paved road or take trails that aren’t as steep. The different viewpoints of the lake and Kelowna are spectacular! Great photo ops!
Peaceful place for hiking. Walking and Bicycle both Hike are awesome. The view from the top of the mountain is just eye pleasing. It's worth climbing after reaching the till the peak. If take apex trail and then follow the ogopogo trail that's breathtaking experience. There are also washrooms 🚻 in middle of trails and dustbins are available in same way.
A very beautiful hike, good for all skill levels. I am relatively new to hiking and tried the apex trail, it was a bit challenging, and the view at the summit is incredible! Highly recommend anyone living in Kelowna to do this hike.
Great view. It has an asphalt portion and rest is well kept trails that are suitable for biking and hiking. Good for short or long walks and you can choose the intensity of your walk by choosing different paths
Wonderful panoramic views! There are two points scenic points for pictures, the first one (below) it's easy to arrive but the second one (up) needs a hike of 30 minutes or bike cause the road for cars is closed. Our hike to the second point of view was really tired since that day was very hot (32 degrees) but worth it because the photos are incredible.
A grind up but very doable and short. The trails down are a ton of fun. The switchbacks can be challenging but overall black diamond. Highly recommend to intermediate bikers looking for a downhill challenge. Lots of other trails to try out and is great to keep attempting the same trails. Never gets old.
The view point is terrific. The vehicle was allowed till the first view point and after that had to trek to the other view points. The view of Kelowna city is amazing. Would love to visit there once more. Even though it was scorching hot, the breeze near the view points made it very cool. Gates close by 8pm. Would appreciate if the timings are extended during summer as this a very beautiful place to view sunset across the Okanagan Valley.
Summerhill Pyramid Winery
4. Summerhill Pyramid Winery
4.2
(1294)
Winery
Food & Drink
Winery offering tours & tastings of organic/biodynamic wines, plus a bistro & an aboriginal gallery.
Slide 1 of 8
We recently visited Summerhill Pyramid Winery and while the experience started with a long wait, it was well worth it in the end. The winery was very busy, even though it wasn’t peak hours be prepared to wait if you are coming for a tasting, as it takes time to serve each party 4–5 glasses and give proper attention to the wine storytelling. Since the indoor tasting area was packed, we were redirected to the gazebo tasting room outside, which had a lovely setting. Still, we had to wait about 30 minutes as 2–3 groups were ahead of us. When it was finally our turn, we were served by the manager, Daniel (if I recall the name right), and he was absolutely fantastic. Despite being pulled in every direction, Daniel remained calm, warm, and engaging. He didn’t rush us at all he explained each wine thoughtfully, poured generously, and made the whole experience enjoyable and educational. He also didn’t pressure us to make any purchases, which we appreciated. In the end, we left with several bottles and a box of wine, including a few delicious ice wines. The wait was long, but the customer service and quality of wine made it worth it. Pro tip: If you’re planning a visit, try to arrive early in the day or on a weekday to avoid the peak crowd
There is a beautiful view, a large parking lot. There is a restaurant and a shop where wine is sold, there is a very beautiful interior and polite staff. But the prices seem too high to me. Although there were a lot of people, several buses with tourists from Asia.
Mix feelings about this one. Definitely one of the best views in town. The food was good but quite expensive. Unfortunately, as it is a winery, the wines did not impress me. Located only a few minutes from downtown Kelowna, you'll find a huge, heated terrace overlooking lake Okanagan, perfect to watch the sunset. You cannot beat that. Inside decor is... a tad weird. Not sure what is going on with all the sculptures and pyramid references? We started with a wine tasting. They know their product but, except for their version of a champagne, I did not find anything of interest. The food was a redemption, I must say. Our server was sweet, and we had overall a great night. It is just so expensive for what it is. I guess you pay for the views? I've been told it's a very popular place, but we went on a Friday, and we were maybe nine people total, and our group counted for six. Oh well.
This place offers great views and good photo ops while you visit this winery. Famous for its pyramid cellar, they offer a broad selection of whites, reds, sparklings, and ice wines. They can offer you a tasting of their product free of charge provided you buy a bottle. Additional wine tasting options and a winery tour is optional by reservations.
Me and my family wanted to stop by to have a taste of wine. We were enjoying the view and how nice the place was. Unfortunately, we felt horribly mistreated by the man working at the tasting room. We wanted to have a taste before buying, so we asked what’s something he recommends and what their best selling wine was. We waited for his reply, however, it seems though he was ignoring us on purpose and acted like we weren’t there. A few minutes go by and we see him giving out wine to two ladies who just came by dressed gracefully. I’m not assuming but it felt as if it had to do with the way we look. I hate to be look down upon especially when it comes to customer services like these. Customers should be valued and treated equally, it’s basically called human decency.
This was my very first wine tasting experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The host was extremely knowledgeable, cheerful, and engaging throughout the tasting. She not only provided excellent service but also shared educational information in a way that was easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. Her energy and professionalism made the experience both fun and memorable. I left feeling not only impressed by the wines but also grateful for the outstanding service. Highly recommend!
What an amazing evening at Summerhill! The food was great and the service was one of the best I've had in my life! Thanks to Joey, the best!!! Even during a very busy night we felt taking care of. Not enough people take the time to write a positive review and I really wanted to share my experience. Thanks for the beautiful memory.
Derek was very friendly and explained the whole wine tasting as we had them. The pyramid is very interesting. Excellent location. Will return for sure.
Waterfront Park

Picturesque lakefront city park with cascading falls, green expanses, swimming & scenic views.
Slide 1 of 8
Small sand area, not too crowded. You can walk to the west Kelowna bridge via the harbour and park paths, about 40 minutes without rushing. Many restaurants and play options. The pathway is wide but be careful with bikes and skateboards as it is shared, kids need more attention walking both ways. Well maintained, there is a public water park and a large playground near the bridge, a roller skate area in the middle that converts to ice skating in winter, and a floating paid park in a section of the Okanagan lake. Beautiful natural landscape.
Really beautiful place to hang out. Especially in the warm evenings after dinner. Every time we are out there the waterfront park area is a visit. Really clean, really friendly and just a wonderful place. Highly recommend the area. You won’t be disappointed.
This is a really beautiful place, like a portrait. The roads and walkways are designed beautifully that you can enjoy the nature flawlessly. You can do lots of activities, like walking, biking, boating, etc. Swimming is not allowed in this area, I believe. You will be amazed after visiting this site. Parking is paid and sometimes hard to find a suitable spot.
Truly amazing place to explore. Lots of shops on the waterfront. Great places to grab a coffee and enjoy the views. Appears to have lots of entertainment going on. Beautiful flowers and we'll maintained gardens. You can rent water skis and if you feel like some adventure parasailing. Only down side, there is lots of homeless people wondering around. But never felt threaten or was harassed. There was an abundance of wild life to see. If you are in the area totally worth the trip. Grab a great local coffee and and enjoy the views.
The entire waterfront and park area is a great spot to visit. Plenty of green space to enjoy the sun and amazing water view as well. The water near this specific spot near the fountain stinks a little bit since it's probably not circulated or cleaned regularly. Plenty of cheap parking nearby, so that's a plus too.
Beautiful place located on the Okanagan lake and the heart of Kelowna , Beautiful park with great trails. Amazing beaches in a couple locations for picking the right beach for some family fun in the sun. Many spots for picnicing and relaxing
Great area to spend a nice day. Good scenery, numerous eating places. Boat show was hosted by the yacht club this weekend, which was a chance to explore their newish building.
Very peaceful & serene vibes. Even if you are not a local & just passing by from highway. Getting a vibe of Kelowna through visiting this park is recommended

Traditionally landscaped according to Japanese techniques, this garden features paths & water.
Slide 1 of 8
Tucked away behind Kelowna City Hall, Kasugai Gardens is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. This beautifully maintained Japanese-style garden features traditional elements like stone lanterns, pine trees, a tranquil waterfall, and a koi pond . The harmonious blend of nature and design creates a calming atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation and reflection.  I was particularly impressed by the meticulous landscaping and the sense of tranquility that envelops you as you stroll through the pathways. It’s an ideal spot for a quiet lunch, meditation, or simply to appreciate the beauty of nature. Admission is free, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy .  If you’re in downtown Kelowna and looking for a serene escape, I highly recommend visiting Kasugai Gardens. It’s a testament to the city’s connection with its sister city, Kasugai, Japan, and a beautiful example of cultural harmony.
Nice tiny gardens in the middle of the city. You can bring your lunch and sit in the tranquil area. Good place to take photos.
Beautiful gated Japanese garden, tucked away in downtown, amidst the parking lot on one side, buildings on the other and a bus stop and an intersection right in front. One can reclaim ones sanity from the humdrums of day today life by just being here for a brief five / ten minutes before you go back to your daily business. It’s small but cathartic; has rockery, a bridge over the water, waterfalls ( man made) beautifully flowering plants, shrubs and trees- all tamed and planted in the famous Japanese style. Four stars because the water could be cleaner and more maintained however the set up does not fail to uplift you
Kasugai Gardens is a hidden gem in downtown Kelowna. This tranquil Japanese-style garden features koi ponds, stone lanterns, waterfalls, and lush greenery. Small but beautiful, it’s the perfect spot for a peaceful stroll, reflection, or a quiet break. Free entry, open seasonally.
A relaxing garden downtown close to city hall. It's a small japanese garden. If you like to escape from hum and buzz of the city, this is a perfect place to relax.
What a beautiful location right in the middle of the city! I am very jealous of those who get to enjoy their lunch breaks here. Happy we were able to see this on our trip:)
A peaceful little oasis right in the heart of the city. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, sit by the pond, watch the koi fish, and just let your mind wander. Quiet, calm, and beautifully maintained — a true hidden gem.
Very small Japanese garden that is well-maintained. We enjoyed our time here but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-see because of its size. Seems like a great place for city employees to relax and have lunch in (it’s behind a city building).

There’s so much to say about this winery! The wines are great, leave you wanting more as well as the fun stories that come with each bottle. Let’s not forget the art and how it jumps out at you Carlota conducted our tasting and she was fantastic, very knowledgeable & answered all our questions. She was fun, lighthearted and playful with us. Her energy and enthusiasm for the wines helped make our tasting top tier!
The Vibrant Vine is always a must-stop winery when we are in the area! My husband and I were in last week for a tasting and it was lovely! Carlota was a great host. She was super friendly and enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wines! The wine is great and the art is an added fun bonus! It’s cool to walk through the museum and the bottles are a great conversation starter back home.
Had an amazing time exploring and tasting at the Vibrant Vine…stunning art and incredible wine! Julia our tasting server was great! Thank you Julia! The wine bottles are as gorgeous as the wine is tasty. Highly recommended for both the wine and the experience.
Very cool winery with a fun & interactive tasting! Monique was great as she guided us through the wines. Label artwork is really good and the 3D aspect is amazing. Wines were okay but the overall unique experience is what made this memorable.
This is the most interesting winery I’ve been. We came for a full experience of wine tasting, icy wine and 3D tour. I felt going for a wine tasting in art gallery! Monique, our wine server in the wine tasting bar, was very cheerful happy host. Wynn, the owner, also came say hi and explained everything about ice wine. We got lucky to taste it and that is legit a sip of desert. We had a lot of fun and were well hosted.
Visited here over the weekend from out of town, all the artwork is amazing. Had a wine tasting with Maja, she was very kind, welcoming and enthusiastic about telling the stories behind all the different wines and the artwork!
We had such a wonderful experience at this winery today! From start to finish, everything felt welcoming and relaxed. A special shoutout to Grace, who helped us, she was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tasting experience even more enjoyable. She took the time to answer our questions and gave us great recommendations. The wines were excellent, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly recommend visiting, and if you can, ask for Grace :)
The winery has a really cool vibe, especially with the unique 3D artwork on display—definitely a highlight and you can tell a lot of creativity and effort went into it. The space itself was visually interesting and worth checking out. That said, the wine didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially compared to other wineries we’ve visited in the area. They do charge for the tasting, which is totally fair, but we’ve had more memorable wine experiences elsewhere where tastings were complimentary. Still, if you’re into art and want a different kind of winery stop, it’s worth a visit.

Great place to come and cool off. Clean area with lots of different activities to do. Splash park is an instant hit with the kids and even adults when the sun is beating down. The beach area is amazing sand is great. Lots of shade and grass areas to get out of the sun if needed.
Went during a triathlon, very busy and nice. Good for a walk along the water
Photos shown are all very old. Unfortunately most of the photos show things that are no longer here :( came to relive some memories with my own kiddos on holidays and discovered it's all gone. There are a few spraying flowers and 1 dumping water tower but no climbing structures etc. Very disappointing if you were also expecting the park that shows in the photos. This is a park for toddlers and very young children. Nothing for anyone over 6-7.
This water park is part of the city of Kelowna park that has all sorts of outdoor activities such as basketball and tennis courts, street vendors, picnic benches, etc. This water park is a nice place to cool down on a hot day especially in the summer. The kids love this place and it’s a great place to rinse down your kids after going to the beach to wash down excess sand. I highly recommend going here as part of your all day event at the park especially for young families with kids.
Always a favorite of ours! Weather is walking, biking, scootering, rollerblading or running. We enjoy this park from swimming to playing on the playground, fishing off the rocks or splashing at the water park. There is lots to do their is even volleyball, basketball, fields and skate park. Washrooms , beautiful beach front and tons of vendors or shops with in walking distance. There is paid parking. If your not from here this is your spot for pictures and fun! Lots of watersports and recreation options ect. 🤗😁
This park has everything: paths for running/walking/biking, a playground, spray park, different flushable bathrooms/ changing area, skate park, wibit sports inflatable, you do have to pay for parking but before a certain time it is free if your coming for a early walk/run.
Never seen this part of Kelowna before. Beautiful and peaceful park which ends in a lively street with restaurants and shops. A nice break in the day.
It's always a busy, beautiful place. So many things for kids to do.

Winery with a wine shop, tours & seated wine tasting experiences, plus a restaurant & event space.
Slide 1 of 8
I take my friends and family who are visiting Kelowna for a wine tasting at CedarCreek every time, and it never disappoints. The view from the Aspect house is unbeatable, and the experience you get is above and beyond. Not to mention the wines and food pairings (for the food paired tasting) are absolutely perfect. I’ve gone a couple times and had Doug do my group’s tasting, and he’s so knowledgeable and makes the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit and tasting here!
The view was 5* and so was our wonderful waitress Emily H, who is funny and knowledgeable. In fact, all the servers were really nice. The venue is attractive but there isn’t much convenient parking, and the food is okay, but over-engineered. I’ve had better food at cheaper places.
Visited after having lunch at another winery and wanted something light to go with the wine. We ordered the cheese platter and sticky toffee pudding. The cheese paired beautifully with the wine, and the sticky toffee pudding was exactly what I was craving—absolutely delicious! A great spot to enjoy wine with just the right bites on the side.
We visited this winery while traveling from Vancouver, hoping for something special. We managed to get a reservation, but the overall vibe wasn’t that unique. The patio was extremely hot and uncomfortable to sit in for long. We did a tasting of 5 wines — they weren’t terrible, but definitely nothing amazing. All wines were from 2022 to 2025, so quite young and not very complex. The tasting platter for two was $20, but honestly very small and not worth it. In the end, we bought one bottle of rosé from 2024 for $52. There weren’t many better options — most wines were overpriced for what they were. Honestly, if you skip this winery, you’re not missing out on anything special.
Had the most delicious lunch at CedarCreek. We had the 2 course dining menu with wine pairing and everything was so yum. The best buratta we’ve ever had! The views from our table were beautiful and the staff were all super friendly. Would definitely recommend
End-to-end fantastic. Tasty cocktails, great 3 course meal with wine pairings, excellent service from Matt and Joel (both Ontario guys) finished off with dessert and coffee on the deck. Can we go back tomorrow!
If you didn’t arrive by 6 you won’t be able to sit down and enjoy the tasting. Then you will pay 15 for two estate wine tastings. Definitely not the best value around so would recommend making the reservation before coming. Great architecture and view though. Would love to come back one day.
This was my first time visiting a Kelowna winery, and CedarCreek has set the bar sky-high for any future visits. The property is absolutely stunning, the service was exceptional, and the three course wine-paired dinner at Home Block was unforgettable. From the Italian burrata starter to the famous sticky toffee pudding. Stunning views, incredible food, and a truly memorable experience. Thank you.

Boyce-Gyro Beach Park is a lively, busy beach in Kelowna, BC. It is set on Okanagan lake, and is extremely shallow, as it is only about waist deep. It’s a great spot to take kids and we met visiting friends and their kids here. There is a playground, and even zip lines on the sand and into the water. Shady trees and sand volleyball courts line the beach. There is a store and rentals for inflatables and water sports. Dogs on leashes are allowed. Parking is pay parking and as it is a very popular park in Kelowna, it can be hard to find an open spot. Lots of tourists here in the summer months, but it is quiet in the offseason, or come early. Lovely spot to watch the sun rise or set and walk along and enjoy the beautiful Kelowna weather.
Must visit this beach!! I love it! Visited from Vancouver for the 5th time in years and have absolutely adored it as always. Perfect place for swimming, the water is absolutely clear, clean, no rocks in the water to hurt your feet, only sand, and the water only comes to your waist even if you go way, way beyond the shoreline (literally went to the middle and could still touch the bottom with my feet). Perfect atmosphere, sand is very nice, grass area, picnic tables etc I just love swimming here!
So fun for kids lots of shed and zipline ofcourse (2 different types) . You can wash your feet and they have washrooms (so clean) . Clean water for swimming and clean sand for kids can play.
One of the busiest beaches in Kelowna. Paid parking and dog-friendly on the paths and grass if leashed. Beautiful sunsets and upgraded facilities (seasonal use). If you're visiting town, it's a nice place to visit. There's restaurants and drinks nearby and it looks like they built a beach soccer field. Don't forget to pick up after your pups.
Beautiful place in the morning but crowds up quick on a summer afternoon. Half the park is beach and half the park is nice grass Feild with sports courts and fields. Dogs are permitted only on the paved walkway between the beach and the grass. Not very pet friendly. Great place to spend on a hot summer day, good views down the lake. Good shopping across the street if you forget any essentials.
Beautiful beach and park. Great jungle gym for kids with mini zipping, over sand and into the water. Rentable chairs with umbrella dor a 15$ charge for 4 hours. Nice bathrooms, juice vendor. The water goes out for ages, not deep. Gorgeous view, shoppers drugmart just up the street if you forget your sunscreen. I suggest getting to the beach early and get your spot 8:00 amish if you can it fills up quickly. Popular tourist spot.
It's perfect! There are a lot of things to do here. They offered different activities for kids and adults. They have kids park, small zip line, rental boats, paddles, etc. We can stay on the shade under the big trees sorrounding the whole area.The comfort room is clean, well, because we are quite early there, but it really gets crowded as the time passed by. But that's understandable we just need to distance ourselves to others.
Nice large beach minutes south of downtown Kelowna. Pay parking is available and a bit small but we always managed to get a space. Sanded or grassed areas to sit. Public washrooms, sand-rinsing taps, picnic tables are available. There is a concession shaped like an apple which sells chips, ice creams and drinks. Ample playground structures for kids to enjoy, including 2 ziplines - one over water and one over the sand. Water is shallow for a long distance in from the shoreline so good for young kids and non-swimmers. Really lovely, tidy and well-appointed beach.

Beautifully well maintained open parkland with many paths. Lovely for walking in the summer and winter. Always respect the signs.
Great place. Lots of trails . Beautiful clean peaceful creek lots of trees. Benches, picnic tables. Great playground for kids. Washroom. Lots of parking. We took the turtle pond trail. Partial shady path. Nice walk to the pond about 10-15 minutes.
Love coming here with the kids. Great for if they need to burn off energy at the park or even going for a long hike through the Greenway and trails is relaxing. You can also see some really cool wildlife if you aren't too loud
Congratulation goes again to the city of Kelowna in maintaining intake this unique gigantic park. Trails with no end and a little pound deep inside the forest where painted turtles sun bathe. Play area for kids and amenities by the large parking lot with plenty of reserved stalls for people with disability. It is stunning. It flows well where people come to get fit and play
Awesome short hike with the fresh snow this morning. Definitely needed spikes as many icy areas. Beautiful kids fishing pond and easy to loop around the park with only a few small hills.
The park is filled with walking and pedal biking trails. Plus it has a magnificent play area for kids. There are a few picnic tables and benches here and there to have a picnic, to sit and people watch, there is a lot of dog walking. A little hike and you can reach the turtle & frog pond. There is swings, and a rope climbing structure for the bigger kids to climb. The is a river that runs threw the park for the salmon run and we’re the salmon lay there eggs. The washrooms are very clean and maintained. It really is a beautiful park.
Nice park with decent swings for kids ranging from the age of 3 years to 12 years. There is a flat walking trail there that is really good and can be rated as a beginner level hike( very easy and wide trail where you can ride the strollers with small kids). This spot is in the middle of 14 kilometre trail, so you can park you car here and walk either east or west to reach the start or end of the trail.
Well kept park and trail. Great for walking, running or biking. Once you get out of the more child friendly area and up towards Hollywood South and the bike skills park, there isn't much shade. Bring a hat. Purple still pan for gold along the river.

Fintry Provincial Park and Protected Area is a beautiful spot, especially in the fall when the leaves turn, offering a romantic view of the lake and historic Packing House. We visited the Fintry Estate Packing House, which is only a 13-minute walk from the free parking lot. Though all the camping sites were closed during our visit on October 27, we learned that camping here costs $32 per night and requires reservations during high season (May and June). The park also features a playground, making it a family-friendly destination. Highly recommended for its serene atmosphere and scenic views, it’s a lovely spot for a day trip or future camping getaway.
This campground offers lakeside campsites, playground, showers, and nice walking paths. Really enjoyed our 2 week stay, we were in campsite 1 which was an amazing site! The trick here is to get a lakeside site and NOT one in the open field which are hot and buggy. Nice walking trails lots of beach space to spread out. Campsites hosts and operator are friendly and helpful. Try for sites: 1-12 or 63-77 (lakeside). Great dog beach.
4.5 stars! This is a very large campsite with over 2km of beach access. Washrooms, dishwashing stations, shower houses, potable water, boat launch, shallow swimming areas for kids, playground, some hiking trails, tent and trailer sites, group sites, historic buildings. For more adventurous people there is a lighthouse that you can climb up and jump off of into the water. Our only warning is wind if you are tenting in the open field. You must put support string/rope and tie them to something or stake them down into the dirt! A lot of wasps. Experienced campers all had screened canopies.
First it would be good to have a separate entry just for the campground, since the campground does not encloses the whole provincial park, but just a part at the beach front. There are three areas. The official campground including washrooms and showers. A group campground with two bigger huts. And an overflow campground with only simple sanitation facilities. State end of July 24, there are no electrified or water accessed slots available. Lots have their own generators, while there are defined hours for their usage. The beach is rather narrow but provides enough space for the residents. It faces east. Hence lot of morning sun, after noon shadow from the trees behind. Showers are for free. Washrooms are clean. Sanidump available but costs 5D per dump (coins needed). This should be included for residents. No laundry. Nice little playground for kids in the back, but not much shadow during the day.
Amazing and beautiful park. Well maintained. Camping site with registration. Day use area. And beach to spend time. Boat launch pad is well maintained and very clean place for camping woth family.
This is one of the shorter hikes to be found in this area. However, it is visually spectacular and physically intense. Be prepared for many, many stairs! One of our favourite places to visit. It is a bit of a drive from Kelowna, but well worth it. The drive is scenic and relaxing. There are other hikes to experience along the way as well! Be sure to give it a try if you’re looking for a quick, unique hike!
Wonderful, well run campground. Lovely beachside with two swimming areas and a large, easily accessible dog beach in the middle. Great heated showers and mostly flush toilets. Fantastic playground for kids. There is a strong breeze sometimes from the southwest so be prepared if you are in an exposed site. Loop 1 is the most shaded and loop 2 is varied but right beside dog beach. Loops 3 - 5 are the newest with some smaller trees but the best shower block. Level area so great for easy cycling and walking.
Loved this campground! Lots of large campsites and mostly private. Some have less shade. Lots of crickets. Easy walk to the beach from all sites. Lots of history walls with the manor to the old barns. Beautiful views of waterfall. Definitely bring bug spray for the hour of sun to shade. Will be coming back for sure.

My server Alexa was amazing!! We did a wine taste hop today and she definitely stood out! so personable and had an extensive answer to any questions I asked, definitely made me want to come back :)❤️
Tantalus was our sole wine stop during our Okanagan visit, and it didn’t disappoint. The tasting room and surrounding views are absolutely stunning. Our host was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the wines and the vineyard’s story. We left with some great bottles and a memorable experience.
We were guided by a friendly, professional, and knowledgeable lady through an excellent wine tasting experience. The setting was beautiful, and the wines were of very high quality. She even let us try two additional wines that were not on the tasting list. Overall, it was an excellent experience. We purchased a case of wine. We will definitely come again.
I have to say, this might have been our best experience in Okanagan. My wife and I visited the winery in June 2025. We weren't familiar with the brand so everything was new. We sat outside, facing the vineyards. On each table, they have a map showing which grapes grow in wich plot/area, it helps understanding a bit better the location. Our sommelier was phenomenal, his knowledge was above all others we talked to. I even had a silky question about the cork and he knew the answer! My greatest surprise was the riesling they served us as I'm usually not a big fan. 10/10 recommend!
Situated high above Lake Okanagon, the winery has stunning views of the vineyards, the lake and surrounding hill. The tasting area has wonderful views, as does the balcony. We had a reserve tasting, guided by Tatiana, was was wonderful. I made a great guess based on her name and accent that she was from Russia, and indeed her birthplace was in Siberia. She was delightful, and her accent was reminiscent of Tatiana Maslamy's Russian orphan in Orphan Black. I digress, we tasted two Rieslings - one a second press which was light and offset, and then the first press from the same harvest the old vines Riesling 2022which was wonderful - fresh, high acidity. We bought 2 bottles of the latter and one of the former. We also tasted a Pinot noir and a Cabernet franc (from grapes in South Okanagan) both of which were nice and easy drinking. Special kudos to the staff - we arrived late for our tasting, and they stayed open for a half hour beyond closing time to accommodate us and a few other late arrivals.
Knowledgeable staff and very comfortable seating options. Reisling and Pinot Noir were world class. Native Canadian art is on display and on the wine labels.
Nice view of the vineyard and the lake! We like the quiet ambience. Your choice to seat in the patio or the a/c room.
This winery is truly a gem. We chanced upon this one amongst the many that are available. We also chose to do one of their tasting which cost $15 per pax (you get $5 off if you make a purchase). The tasting was great. We were seated at the balcony overlooking the vineyards and were served each tasting slowly with lots of explanation. We enjoyed the stories behind each wine served. And the wines were light and drinkable.

The Fish & Chips was outstanding the service was very good from Sue ..So I will definitely be back one day...Thx Playtime Casino From Edmonton Alberta Canada
Staff randomly decide who will be picked to play. There is no players board, no app for players. The staff has a hidden, handwritten piece of paper that decides who will play. Not necessarily who arrives first or who is first on the hidden list. Overall I would rate this as the worst run casino in North America. The staff doesn’t even try! Don’t even think of this as a normal poker room.
I went to the casino on Tuesday night (9/22/2025) and had a very unpleasant experience with a female employee at the cashier counter (she was at the first window near the washroom).It was not busy, but this cashier looked so impatient and unhappy that made me nervous and scared. She didn't even has any smile or say "hi" to me. unpleased at all. The only word she said to me is "You know the machine can reedem," in a very impatient manner. Is this a new Casino rule (you can't reedem your 'cashout voucher' at the cashier counter if there is voucher machine at Casino)?I think if you don't want to serve customers or don't want customers to redeem voucher through your window, you can just put a note at the window telling them so that no one will bother you. This is better than being impatient and unfriendly to customers at your window. I go to the casino every week and there are usually two young male employees at the cashier counter. They are very friendly and willing to serve customers. To be honest, I was surprised by the attitude and behavior of this female employee. Anyway, it was a very unpleasant experience with this female employee. I forgot to check her name tagAnbecause her behavior and expression made me feel very scared and I didn't want to be stay her. It was terrible!
The place is amazing!!!!!!! Service is top notch!! The food is great & the happy hour food is also very good along with the 1/2 price wine. Most of all the staff is great & we look forward to visiting there every time we go!!!! Gord & Cindy(Go Rockets Go)
Tired Casino with no money being spent on staff or facilities. Run down main toilet with broken fixtures and bare screws visible in men's toilet door, dangerous to push without looking where your hand is ( for at lest 4 years). Don't turn over their slot machines, lots of stairs at ground floor entry with a NON working escalator ( for the past 4 years). Just tired really. Great customer service staff on the desk, and The Match is a great place to eat. Main bar only opens after 5 or 6pm, It's like they don't want patrons to enjoy the experience at all, lacks atmosphere. Only have 2 roaming slot people to pay jack pots and have to wait 20min some nights when it dies get busy. Near prospera place, handy to downtown...
Decent mid-week vibe, but overpriced roulette minimums Popped in on a Tuesday night, pretty quiet overall, but still a solid number of slot machines and a few live tables open. Roulette was the busiest section, which says something. I usually prefer the electronic roulette (less pressure, more fun), but was disappointed to see the minimum bet set at $1. Bit of a buzzkill, especially since the other local casino only charges $0.50 for the same game. Why the markup? Nice staff and a clean space, but would be nice if they adjusted the table mins to be more in line with the competition.
Considering this casino is located in prime downtown Kelowna, it’s shockingly rundown. Easily the shabbiest casino I’ve ever visited. For the sake of the city’s image and tourism revenue, this place desperately needs a full renovation, or to be shut down altogether! That being said, the majority of the staff is super friendly, BUT if you’re on a slot, don’t bother hitting the service button ⏱️👀👎
We made a reservation for Match and from a distance we saw the Match sign up high and walked in that direction. Never did see another one? After walking around and around the building we eventually saw a casino sign. Still had to ask for directions and when we finally found that entrance we couldn't get in as my wife had chosen not to carry her purse with, so no id. A total gong show.

Don-O-Ray Farm was such a great experience! The property was so clean and safe and the staff were fantastic and so friendly! I would go back many more times! We took our 1.5 year old and he immediately fell in love with all the animals, and this was his first farm experience 😀. We are very happy with our experience here and would recommend it to any and all kids and adults 😊
Animals are so cute and friendly, and you can feed them and play with them – it was so fun! The staff were polite and kind, which made the whole experience even nicer. The ticket also includes a temporary tattoo, which is a little bonus. Such a cozy place to visit if you love animals. We really enjoyed it!
We had a birthday party for my son. The kids had a blast with so much space to run and play, and a great variety of animals and activities to keep them entertained. The staff members were very friendly and helpful and the party area was spacious and covered. We’ve done birthday parties at many of the popular indoor venues in town but Don-o-Ray has been our favourite. It excellent value and very affordable for bigger groups at only $10 per person.
The staff were friendly with some rules. My kids liked the lambs and chicks. The maze was so fun but you should never let little kids be alone. Also the air brush tattoos were so fun. My son really want an elephants. Overall 10/10
I refuse to believe that there are people who believe the enclosures and living conditions of these poor animals are humane. Went in solely for my sweet little 2 year old niece alongside my relatives, but had to leave within 5 minutes and cried in the car immediately after. The owners of this place clearly have no understanding of the nature of each animal and the environmental and social needs they require for a good quality of life. I felt sick to my stomach seeing the two sheep in a small grassless fenced area. I’ll never get the image of that sad pony completely alone standing in a small dirt covered area out of my head. I could go on about each of the enclosures but I’ll spare readers the details. There is no way the SPCA has deemed this place ethical. To the families looking for a fun activity for their children, completely understandable that the idea of interacting with animals is fun for your little one, but I beg you look around for places that prioritize animal welfare. People who truly care about animals do not allow them to be handled in a free-for-all manner all day everyday, it’s sick.
A fantastic hobby farm! Lovely, friendly animals. The chickens and ducks were so sweet, staff were great and clearly cared for the animals, cannot wait to pop back next time we are at the market.
What a cute little farm perfect for children babies to probably seven or eight years old maybe even a first date. Very interactive, super cute chickens and ducks goats lambs rabbits and so on the labyrinth was quite fun to go through was a little harder than we thought lol hopefully you’ll find some time to stop by. Also, the fruit market next-door is delightful. Some of the best fruit we’ve had this year thank you very much for having This lovely place available for our community.
We had such a great time at Don-O Ray’s! The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the start, and everything felt really well cared for. The animals were a huge hit with the kids — they loved feeding the goats and holding the bunnies — and the whole place had this relaxed, local charm that’s hard to find. You can tell the owners put a lot of heart into it. The grounds are clean, the animals look healthy, and there’s plenty to do without feeling rushed. We also picked up some fresh veggies and homemade treats from the market before we left, which were amazing. Definitely one of the best family spots in Kelowna — we’ll be back for sure!
