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!

This is not your usual stop on a winery tour. This truly stunning spot requires hours to explore and appreciate. We opted to dine in the restaurant for the three course chef tasting menu with the reserve wine pairing, as well as a regular pairing. The meal offerings changes seasonally with what’s fresh, and I can truly say the chefs and servers are at the top of their game. This was a $350 bill before tip, and it was worth every penny, nearly three hours of dining, wining in the most beautiful place you can imagine… it’s a luxury experience we felt was worth every penny. You won’t want it to end. The only critique I could possibly find is we stopped passed the wine shop and tasting room before our reservation, and the sales person was quite pushy to get us out the door, as they closed in 20 minutes. A bit of a sour start to the evening, but the meal more than made up for it. A couple things to expect: parking is ample, the grounds are glorious so take your time to explore and take pictures before your meal, there are affordable and expensive bottles (so something for everyone), but maybe skip the gift shop if you have no interest in overpriced, kitschy items and $2000 luggage (I get this is a luxury place, but come on), you WILL need a reservation and you WILL need to put down a credit card to do so, it books up fast but we were able to get a table for the next day. 10/10 experience, will be raving about it to anyone who asks how my summer was. Cheers!

Beautiful lake... must visit everyone and enjoy ur lovely memorable moments of life.

What a wonderful meal and location. We had three courses and a wonderful bottle of wine. We sat outside and were at first worried it would be a bit cold but the heaters were perfect and we were offered blankets also but didn’t need these! View was such a wonderful bonus and music and atmosphere was great. Food was absolutely amazing and our waitress Paige was just wonderful, she was so kind, friendly and attentive, making some wonderful choices/recommendations for us on the wine and dessert. We spoke at the table about how lovely she was! Thank you Paige and Quails gate for a fantastic evening!

Davison Orchards is such a great place to visit! Not only do they have amazing produce like sweet corn and juicy cherries, but they also offer fresh pressed apple juice that tastes naturally sweet and refreshing. It feels like you’re drinking pure sunshine in a glass. The whole atmosphere here is very welcoming and family and friendly. There are beautiful farm views, fun areas for kids to explore, and it’s just a relaxing spot to spend an afternoon. The market area is busy but organized, with lots of local products to browse. It’s more than just shopping for produce it’s a full experience. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in Vernon or nearby.

Make sure to save PLENTY of time to take it all in! We were on a tight schedule of the many things we wanted to do while in Kelowna from Alberta. But our greatest regret from the trip is not allowing more time at the kangaroo Farm. First of all, the amount of love, dignity and respect they show to the animals is why why the animals are also chill! It was a little bit pricey to get in for a family of six but worth every penny! Everyone from the adults to teenagers and toddler all had a wonderful time. They could have stayed there all day! But they do close at 3:00 p.m. so make sure that you keep that in mind. Most of the animal handlers were very friendly except for the bird guy.. he took his job a little too seriously. But once again care for the animal is their primary concern, which isn't the bad thing. All of the staff were knowledgeable and genuinely loved the animals. I think 4 hours would probably be a good amount of time to spend here. Just like most places, the snack stand is outrageously priced. But it's really nice that they supply little treats to feed the animals, for free. I know some zoos and such make you pay coins for treats. We had an absolute blast and would definitely go back!

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.

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

I had the pleasure of visiting Big White Ski Resort in mid-April, and despite it being the off-season, the experience was nothing short of magical. To my surprise, there was still a generous amount of snow covering the landscape, creating a stunning winter wonderland that looked straight out of a postcard. The views were absolutely breathtaking — snow-capped trees, endless white slopes, and a peaceful atmosphere that made the entire experience incredibly serene and picturesque. It was the perfect spot to take in the natural beauty of the mountains and enjoy some quiet time surrounded by nature. While many of the activities and services had wound down for the season, the charm of the place remained alive. The village itself is cozy and well-kept, and the fresh mountain air was incredibly refreshing. Whether you’re an avid skier or simply looking to enjoy stunning alpine scenery, Big White has something special to offer — even in the shoulder season. I can only imagine how lively and vibrant it must be during peak winter months! Highly recommend a visit to anyone who appreciates nature, mountain vibes, and a bit of quiet beauty. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This place is literally fabulous!! The patio is absolutely gorgeous, shaded, great views! The wine is delicious!!! But it is NOT Dog Friendly anymore!! Right now Google labels it dog friendly, so we drove all the way out there just to discover it is not. There is a red umbrella and bench out by the parking lot, with no view, where you can sit with your dogs and the might agree to let you drink your wine there. Make sure you have plans for a cool place for the pups.

Wonderful attraction. Great for any age. There's so much detail you could go three times and not see everything. The interactive sensors and scenes really help keep the little ones engaged. The whole setup can go into night mode and a thunderstorm too! There's funny little scenes hidden through out. Raunchy, accidents robberies, quaint little towns and rolling landscapes.

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.

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

Visiting the Desert Centre in Osoyoos was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone exploring the area. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the beauty and uniqueness of the desert environment while learning so much along the way. Walking along the boardwalk, we got an up-close look at fascinating desert wildlife, from rare plants to birds and small animals, all thriving in this unique ecosystem. It’s amazing to see how life adapts to the harsh desert conditions. The guided tour was very informative and engaging, offering deep insights into the region’s history, environment, and the traditional ways of life of the Indigenous peoples who have lived here for generations. What really stood out to me was how family-friendly the Desert Centre is. Kids will absolutely love it — between the interactive exhibits, the chance to spot wildlife, and the opportunity to learn about desert survival and culture, there’s so much to keep young visitors interested and excited. The staff and volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, answering questions and sharing stories that made the whole experience even more memorable. If you're looking for an unforgettable desert adventure that's both educational and fun, especially for families, Desert Centre Osoyoos is the perfect place. It’s a must-visit destination that offers a rare glimpse into a beautiful and often overlooked part of Canada’s natural heritage.

Planet Bee Honey Farm is a wonderful local spot with a great selection of bee-related products. You’ll find everything from honey, beeswax candles, and pollen to mead, sauces, souvenirs, and more. There’s even a live hive you can observe, along with tasting stations for honey and sauces. A charming and educational place—definitely worth a visit!

An Unforgettable Adventure for All Ages! We recently visited ZipZone Peachland with my 5-year-old daughter, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, she was brimming with excitement, and ZipZone certainly delivered on the thrill. What truly made our day, though, were the amazing staff. They were so welcoming, patient, and engaging with my daughter, making sure she felt comfortable and confident throughout her adventure. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it really added to the overall enjoyment. My daughter absolutely loved soaring through the trees, and watching her face light up with each zip was priceless. It's a truly great place for families, offering an exciting and memorable outdoor activity.
