Fun things to do in West Kelowna: 37 fun attractions and activities

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

Went to the Chefs tasting and pairing dinner for our anniversary and were blown away by the food, service and views. Sean our waiter was fantastic and food was next level. Incredibly paired with Mission Hill wines. Personalized welcome card for our anniversary and signed by the whole staff was really memorable. Well done team!

My husband , my sister and I all had such a beautiful experience at Mission Hill. From start to finish our server named Guy led with such class and poise! Very knowledgeable, friendly and polite service. Simon also popped in whenever he passed our table, topped up waters and overall we had a great conversation and vibe with both of them. We wish them both all the best in their future plans. The Mission Hill property is in top knotch shape and very picturesque. Looking forward to future visits here!

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

It was a perfect evening. Sunset on the terrace. Excellent wine and service. Food was perfect for each wine on the set menu. Highly recommended and will be back again. I bought a bottle of each wine tasted. Even the overpriced oculus!

We had a wonderful experience at Mission Hill thanks to Simon. He was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, answering every question we had about the wines with clarity and enthusiasm. He explained everything in such an engaging way that made us feel comfortable and excited about our choices. His warm approach and genuine hospitality made the whole visit smooth, pleasant, and truly enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make us feel happy and valued, and it really elevated our experience at the winery. Thank you Simon!

We had a truly wonderful experience at Mission Hill. The wine pairings and charcuterie board were excellent, but what made it truly memorable was the storytelling and guidance throughout. Having visited many wineries, this one felt extra special. A key highlight was Robbie H. His expertise as a sommelier, eloquence, calm confidence, and ability to narrate the Mission Hill story elevated the entire experience. His objectivity and professionalism make him an incredible asset to the team. We were so impressed that we decided to join the club membership on the spot. Mission Hill’s rich history is inspiring, and we’re excited to be part of its future. ❤️

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!

We’re members and we came in for a tasting, yesterday. The tasting was lead by Amelia, and she was as outstanding! She had a bubbly and welcoming personality, she was super knowledgeable on her tasting notes and pairings and just delivered an all-in-all exceptional experience. Probably our favourite tasting we’ve had here yet. She also helped me find my new favourite red at the winery, the Queue!

We came from Ontario and had the most amazing wine tasting at Quails’ Gate! The views were stunning and the wines incredible — but Tory made the whole experience unforgettable. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. If you visit, ask for Tory — she’s an absolute gem!

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

We celebrated our one-year anniversary here and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The view was absolutely breathtaking; truly unforgettable. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the wine paired beautifully with our meal. Everything about the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Such a special place, and we’ll always remember our night here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a beautiful atmosphere!

Quails' Gate Restaurant was an absolutely fantastic experience with incredible food. We went for dinner one evening and returned for lunch another day, both meals were outstanding. The duck, in particular, was unbelievably flavorful and cooked to perfection. Everything we tried from the happy hour lunch menu was also delicious, the salad and beef tartare were personal favorites. The setting and location are also stunning. We’ll definitely be back in the future :)

Outstanding Okanagan gem. One of the oldest wineries in BC, truly exceptional. Neil our host for our anniversary tasting was fantastic and charming. His depth of wine knowledge was brilliant. Beautiful setting, grounds and of course wines. Stewart Family reserve Chardonnay was top notch.

Had a great time with our distiller/bartender Kyle today at Okanagan Spirits. Had the opportunity to taste some great whiskey’s and my wife had a refreshing spring blossom. Always enjoy trying new local tastes when we travel and this little gem in Kelowna didn’t disappoint. If you enjoys Spirits I highly recommend a visit.

There are certain places that feel more discovered than visited. Tucked behind quiet doors and whispers of juniper and oak, Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. It waits, like a well-dressed secret, ready to turn the afternoon into something worth writing about. You step in. There’s a knowing glint in the eye of the staff—equal parts alchemists, storytellers, and proud conspirators in the noble art of distillation. They bring you a whisky flight, and you nod with the quiet seriousness of a traveler who has read every chapter on Scotland and still wants more. But this? This is British Columbia at its most deliciously defiant. The Single Malt—ah, the Single Malt. It drinks like a fireside confession: soft smoke, a whisper of spice, a note of caramel that vanishes just as your mind tries to catch it. Perfection in a dram. Then came Absinthe—green, elusive, a touch dangerous. The tasting was like stepping into a Toulouse-Lautrec painting… and maybe out the other side. Herbaceous, layered, and far too civilized for its scandalous reputation. And yet, it was the unapologetic charm of their 1.75L BRBN Bourbon-Style Whisky that won my heart. A bottle so commanding it practically came with a front porch and a rocking chair. I didn’t resist. I couldn’t. My only wish? That their gift box selection was as abundant as their imagination. Because something this good should be easier to wrap up and give away—though you’ll never want to. Recommendation: One flight, one green fairy, and one oversized bottle of courage.

This place is awesome for gifts and to kill an hour with boozey fun tastings/cocktails! Derek was really knowledgeable and made me want to buy everything! Going back tomorrow with a friend for another tasting!

This place was just amazing. First off they had dog treats outside the door for our girls as we walked in. Then when we were in we were greeted by two amazing and friendly guys. We do a tasting and Troy was super awesome and very knowledgeable. The gins and whiskeys were great. My only disappointment was in myself that I haven’t been to them sooner. Definitely recommend. Will be the first stop for us next time we go back to Kelowna

We had an amazing experience tasting things and drinking cocktails. Riley was our bartender. His knowledge and personality made the whole experience even better!! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys spirits and cocktails and fun.

Wow, wife just came back from BC and although she couldn’t find these in the store she had them shipped to me. Staff was nice enough to include a custom note, LOL. I’ve drank a lot of Bourbon in my life. More than I care to admit. I’ve also been to most of the distilleries in Tennessee and Kentucky. Today though I am beaming with Canadian Pride having tasted these two whiskies. Damn they are good. Really good. BRBN: Smooth, creamy. Slight smokiness. Los of caramel. Very easily my new daily drinker. BLK BRBN: for 52% ABV it’s very smooth. Sweet, Vanilla. Butterscotch. Oak. Just amazing. As good as or even better than any of the big hitters out of the US. I’m thinking Rabbit Hole, Angels Envy etc etc. You’ve really outdone yourself. Just amazing. Thank you so much.

This establishment is quite delightful! They offer a very impressive selection of beverages. I would like to express my gratitude to Wyatt for his exceptional friendliness and amiable demeanor, and I extend a warm acknowledgment to Riley and Jenny for their delightful company and ability to bring joy to our gathering. Best regards!

The exhibits were very interesting! I spent about 45 minutes touring the three rooms, and spent a few minutes in the craft room at the end. I appreciated the small handout for the main exhibit, and the artist videos. There's an original art vending machine!

I appreciate their efforts in bringing a wide variety of artwork to Kelowna. I visit whenever possible, because entry is very reasonable! Small enough to finish a walkthrough in ~1 hr.

What a beautiful experience. My family was here for the viewing of sculptures made entirely of Lego by artist Ekow Nimako...Simply spectacular! We also just so happen to be there to see very impressive artwork by some very talented high school students. Small museum, great exhibits and very accommodating staff. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏🏽

This gallery (really a contemporary art museum) always has thought provoking, fun and unique exhibits. You may not like everything you see, but that's art! The current exhibition includes large-scale sculptures built only with black Legos, inspired by a 14th century sea voyage of 2000 ships from west Africa. It's definitely worth a visit.

It was a nice surprise to find out this Gallery, is small but good. The staff was amazing, so helpfully and nice.

I stopped in last week since the Kelowna Art Gallery is free on Thursdays and I was really excited to check it out. One exhibit was being redone, so keep that in mind if you visit. The artwork that was there was beautiful, but I was surprised by how small the gallery actually is. The building itself is large, but it seems like a lot of the space is taken up by offices rather than exhibits. Because of that, it felt a bit underwhelming, especially considering how many incredible artists there are in Canada. I couldn’t help but think the space could be used much more effectively. Honestly, I would have been disappointed if I had paid for admission, particularly since larger cities offer much bigger galleries and more variety. I used to live in a small town with a small art gallery, and even that space seemed to make better use of what it had. Overall, the pieces were lovely, but the gallery itself just felt like it could have offered so much more.

Nice little gallery with interesting art. 4 Stars because it's really little 😅

Loved it, very historical, and the trees were amazing. Old cabins, lots of beautiful old interesting trees. Beautiful park setting.

This park is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend to take a walk here if you’ve never been. So peaceful, and very cool to take a look at all the nut trees they have here. If you’re lucky, you’ll see some beautiful wildlife as well!

Scenic, historic, and beach access. A triple win for this regional park. Great place to take the family. There is a marked off swimming area, clean washrooms, a small playground, plenty of grassy areas, trees for shade, and a historic walk through of the park with educational signs. Fantastic place to spend a summer afternoon with the family. Important note: no dogs allowed at the water front or history walk tour.

Took wedding photos here. There is a massive tree that makes for perfect ambiance. We go every summer. The shadows of the trees make for amazing lighting for photos. The playground and beach are a favorite with our kids. It has a roped-off swimming area that is at a very gentle incline ... perfect for the little ones. It is a rocky beach, so bring water shoes. The water is extraordinarily warm and clean. The bathrooms/change-rooms are always immaculate. We were lucky enough to see deer grazing along the fence-line.

An interesting free activity for the whole family when in Kelowna. You can walk through the nut farm and learn about the farm's history - they have various points with information boards. It is short-ish walking trail. Dogs not allowed on the trail through the farm. The farm is set practically on the banks of the Okanagan lake. Free parking. In season you can buy nuts. We were there early spring so the trees were still bare and just shooting. Lots of squirrels. Fascinating to see the old farmhouse, barn and other buildings still standing. It was still beautiful even with no leaves on the trees.

Been going here for many years. We visited again today and I love this park. It's such a peaceful park to go walk around.

My family had such a fun time over there. We are newcomers to Canada and this kind of leisure and experience was new to us. And we loved it.

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.

Nice place with arcades to play and also they were more games.My kids loved it. There is kids meal and soft ice cream. My chicken burger is ok. I want a plain one, it was written on the receipt but they still put pickles in it. So 4 star from for being inattentive.

The Caesar drink was the bare minimum but I thought they would be better, it was very watered down. The chicken wings fell off the bone but were so dry they were hard to eat. The Caesar salad wasn’t a Caesar at all, with random soggy apples and brussels sprouts tossed in and no real Caesar dressing flavor. Caesar salad should have a Caesar salad dressing and not chipotle. The bao buns were hands down the worst I’ve ever had the mustard seeds, crusty pork belly, and odd seasoning combo were pretty bad couldn’t even finish it. This place seriously needs to rethink its recipes. I promise I don’t always leave bad reviews but food was bad. Service was great though and clean big bathrooms.

When we arrived, we were looking forward to some great beer and classic pub fare, but we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere and service truly blew us away! We found the staff incredibly pleasant, the lounge seating was super comfortable, and the menu? Absolutely outstanding. We highly recommend the pizzas, truffle fries, and fish tacos, and the Southern chicken is an absolute must-try.

We had the best time at BNA Brewing Kelowna. Josh was our server and made us feel very special and really elevated the entire experience. Food and atmosphere were great. We would definitely go back. .

Huge place. 2 floors. Bowling bocce and arcade games upstairs. Also upstairs is a speakeasy which was pretty cool. Service was great. Got the Wagyu beef dip and was not disappointed. Good list of beers and drinks. Seems like an awesome place for a big party.

We had a spectacular experience at BNA while visiting from Vancouver. We started off with the Monday night bowling special during happy hour and had a blast! Service was quick, the atmosphere was fun vibes, and the truffle fries were bomb! We then moved down to the restaurant for dinner where our great experience continued. The food and drinks were delicious and felt we got amazing quality for the value. Everyone in the group raved about their meals, the guava sour was an absolute hit, and I highly recommend the fried chicken dinner - it was divine! Overall, fantastic spot for a fun night out with friends.

Recommended this place by someone we met in Banff and all 4 us us had great meals. Staff were great. Try the wagyu beef dip .. so good.

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).

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.

This winery place was amazing for customer service and everything! It was my very first wine testing and had a great time with friendly hosting, even at the entrance. We didn’t book for the tasting but you can just go there and seat any table you like and then one of the staff will bring the menu. Nice place to take a wonderful pics as well! Especially the staff who served us was so amazing I cannot give him compliments enough:) He was the best staff for everything! Tbh, compering to the Frind winery testing (which is no seating and rushed) Volcanic Hills offers seats and relaxing time with same price which only $10 per person.(Also the portion is twice than Frind) I recommend reserve tasting and the first one bubbly was the best. Overall, if you are beginners for wine tasting start with Volcanic Hills 👍🏻 You’ll be surprised by their amazing service:))

My wife and I came to Volcanic Hills on our honeymoon, and we picked a good place to come do wine tasting! It was a great experience! Brenda was amazing! She made the experience great. She was really sweet, and she gave my wife and I some good wines to try. We purchased the best wine which we tried last. Brenda recommended it. We really appreciate the comfort she gave and information on all the wines we tried with her. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Brenda and the staff! We will be coming back soon!

Spent time with great friends at Volcanic Hills Estate Winery yesterday afternoon and I have to tell you - we were treated like VIPs!! Originally we were going to do some sabering in the vines for my birthday, but the weather was drizzly, so Amit and the team out-did themselves to make it a special day! Troy and I had done the charcuterie experience for our anniversary last year in August, but it’s out of season for them now - they made it happen anyway!!!!! Wow!! Each time we go to Volcanic Hills we feel so welcomed and their tastings have been completely elevated over the years. The tasting room has been updated with beautiful seating areas. The staff are all incredible, the wine is fantastic, but the way they make us feel - that’s what keeps us going back! If you live in the Okanagan and haven’t been to Volcanic (or it’s been a while) - plan to make the visit to this local family winery! -tell them Jenn sent you!

Months before we arrived I booked a reservation for 2 for a tasting and charcuterie board. The wine tasting “tower” was amazing as was the charcuterie board. We enjoyed a lovely visit, however we were a bit disappointed to be seated on a side patio without any view. I wish it was made clear while booking that this option did not have any views nor apparently associated with the restaurant/views advertised on the website.

Myself and some friends came here as part of a wine tour and I’ve got to say this is the only winery of the entire day that everyone liked every single wine we tasted. Having said that, the really impressive thing about this winery was how friendly the staff were, especially Diane, who was incredibly nice to chat to and very happy to answer all of our questions with a smile and gave us fresh glasses with each pour.

This winery was amazing! We were lucky to meet Amit the owner who is so personable and nice. Our server was Lee, super nice and knowledgeable. Great wine tasting. Also the store has so many items that shopping was a blast for me! Highly recommend Volcanic Hills Winery in West Kelowna!

This is a fantastic winery. We went to a couple of others but this is the one we would recommend our friends to visit. A lovely Chardonnay sparkling wine and top notch single varietal Cabernet Franc and also the Merlot. I also loved the blend- possibly called eruption which I had previously had in a restaurant previously, and was the reason we went there in the first place. Excellent!

What a beautiful place. So many delicious wines created here. The staff are so welcoming, kind and informative. Views are spectacular and lots of space inside. Will definitely return!

Such a beautiful place. I don't live here but my mother does so I visit frequently I have always wanted to go so we finally did. It's the only fully indigenous winery in all of Canada, and not just wine there are some indigenous crafts for sale as well. The staff were friendly, the place was beautiful. I saw another low rating for not getting to taste a certain wine because it's not open, anyways it's not Baskin Robbins. If you want something very specific maybe purchase it? They give 5 wines for $5 unless you buy something or eat at the restaurant it's free. Wine spoils after opening so it makes sense that they rotate their flavours. We had our 5 and they allowed us a bonus taste of another I was interested in. But as I was going to purchase it and they happened to have an open bottle they allowed a taste. Janice helped us at the tasting table and was super kind and knowledgeable. She also loves what she's doing which makes the experience so much better. She talks with so much pride about the owners and the wines they produce. I will be recommending this winery to everyone and anyone who is coming through.

Great tasting experience! The tasting was super interesting and informative, we really enjoyed hearing the stories behind the various labels on the wines. They allow dogs on their patio. There is an amazing view! Also - they provided our designated driver with a free sparking apple cider which was so thoughtful!

Beautiful building and view, truly an excellent environment to relax and enjoy your wine. And the wine itself was excellent, whites and red alike. The staff are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, and for kids they serve complimentary sparkling juice to keep the little ones involved. 5/5, absolutely would recommend.

First stop on our wine tour and started out with a bang. The wines were all delicious but our favourites were the Ho-We-Nam Ho-We-Nam and the 2019 Petit Verdot. The view is also spectacular

This place should be the first and last stop on your list. Swing by for lunch then come back for dinner! We were at a lot of wineries, and this place had food to rival Michelin star restaurants. Andrea's desserts are the best!

Simply amazing. The venue, food, wine and service. I love the indigenous influence. It makes it such a unique and special place. Highly recommend a visit and dinner here. It is such great value for your money. If you get a chance, go downstairs to the Red Fox Club for dinner. You would pay double the price for a dinner at another winery, that is just as good here. If you can ask for Marissa to be your server, you will be well taken care of. She is phenomenal. Would highly recommend the following: - Pinot noir - Chardonnay

Bear Creek Provincial Park in west Kelowna, BC is has beautiful hiking trails for scenic views of Okanagan Lake. The hike is tough though and steep and it can be pretty rough on a smoking hot day, like when our family did it. There are shaded areas deeper into the forest though, but take lots of water on a hot day. There is a lovely creek with cold, clear water and great views of Okanagan lake from the top. A big canyon cuts through the mountains as well. The park has campgrounds and sand beaches. A nice place to hike and enjoy nature. We also saw a huge, eagles nest in a tree and there are some areas burnt from forest fires.

We’ve been a few times and really like this campground. It has a beautiful beach and nice open field area. Last years trip was cancelled due to the fire. I just took a quick look at the hiking trails in my recent trip to Kelowna. Unfortunately, that side of the park was closed and presumably burned out. The photos are from the road. It was such a nice hike.

Good. Bathrooms and showers and sites were clean and taken care of. They drove around in golf carts. Bad There is no trail as noted on the map. The bushes are all overgrown. Barely any beach. No dog beach. Bird poop on the beach. There were people hogging the beach by leaving all their chairs, etc. there the whole week .

Very decent hike for the mediocre hiker. I enjoyed the mixed of stairs and the slopes. I would not recommend with little kids as there is very steep trails are there. I enjoyed a lot being first time on this trail. I would also recommend going with hike buddy to support each other in case of emergencies.

Great hiking trail, it is quite the climb to start, but nothing too bad. Once you get to the creek there are spots to go in and chill out, once you're you're ready to keep going you'll cross a bridge over the creek and from that point on there is no more water so I'd recommend soaking your shirt before you cross the bridge since the rest of the hike you're pretty exposed to the sun.

A diamond in the rough just off Westlake road in west Kelowna . . This provincial park delivers at all levels. Great clean sandy beach , well maintained. Large and small RV spots along with great tenting spots . Great spot for a day trip as well for all your lake needs, paddle boarding, kayaking. Swimming etc Staff are super courteous and helpful . Check it out 🤙

This is not for the camping area, this is for the hiking trail across the road! Nice workout to start whether you do the stairs along the path to the right (approx. 147 of them) or if you head up the path to the left. Trail is a circle, with side paths to get you to view points and down to the water. The viewpoints on the north side of the canyon are better to see the waterfalls. Nice views of downtown Kelowna, the bridge and the lake from a bench on the south side of the canyon. In winter wear ice grips for traction, the far end of the canyon is shaded and can be very icy. Parking is available at the base and can be busy in the summer. There is toilet near the parking. Parking is closed off in the winter but you can park on the road on the lake side, just be mindful of the no parking signs and avoid that area. If you are unsteady on your feet or have difficulty walking, be careful as there is loose rock and gravel throughout and a couple sets of awkward stairs. This trail is an easy walk, up the stairs or up the hill will get your heart pumping but the rest is fairly flat.

Such a gem of a family-owned winery! Everyone here is incredibly friendly and welcoming — you can really feel the personal touch in everything they do. Jennifer greeted us today (May 12) and shared so much valuable information about the winery, which made the visit even more special. Their white wine, Tapestry, is hands-down the best I’ve ever tasted — and I’ve been to a lot of wineries between Oliver and Kelowna! The location is stunning, with amazing views of the surrounding vineyards, the mountains, and Okanagan Lake. It’s seriously the perfect spot to relax with a glass in hand. I’ll be stopping by every time I pass through — the wine is top quality and such great value for the price!

Keith was very welcoming as soon as we came in, we sat down for a tasting and he explained the tour. Outside we had more wine while getting the history of the vineyard, and their plans going forward. He told us about the different grapes/vines and how they were farmed. Then we went inside to see the back of the house area. They do plan to open a restaurant which sounds like it will be great. They provided cheeses and snacks for pairings. The wines we tasted were all wonderful and they were not cheap at all with their serving sizes. Anything we wanted to try was made available. I’m not a white wine drinker usually and I left with 2 bottles of white and an ice wine. Keith even recommended some dinner places for us as well. Overall great experience, would recommend - Thank you :)

We recently visited "A Little Straw" organic winery in West Kelowna, perched on top of a hill with stunning views of the lake. The experience was unforgettable as we tasted a variety of wines, including one made from the oldest organic grapes in North America, 57 years old! The wine's rich taste was a real treat, and the Keth - his expertise made our tasting session even more enjoyable. Plus, knowing that it's an organic winery made the experience even more special. We truly loved it!

Great experience. Simran was a pleasure to chat with, very informed and did a wonderful job telling us about the wine and history. We loved the tapestry wine and purchased a couple bottles. This is a family owned and run business. Everyone was so helpful. The winery also has a lovely view to enjoy while you sip.

We were searching for a place to get some good old fashioned "Wine Therapy" where "Sip Happens" and the Food is beyond Heavenly. We found it at the Little Straw Winery, the Tula Restaurant. Stepping into the beautifully, welcoming, bursting of intense flavours, aromatic, sophisticated and distinctiveness of Indian Food, was the therapy our mind and soul needed. As an abstract visual artist (wine), the little straw winery just got me hooked with their energetic, radiant and sunny palette. From the server Abhi, to the chef and owner of the restaurant it was a culinary organic innovative experience. Abhi was charming, meticulous, attentive, focused, knowledgable with a witty sense of humor, a gem for a server. The dishes we ordered were ambrosial, divine and so appealing, fresh tasting, we were tempted to lick our plates. The pictures will confirm my words. The Tula Restaurant also offers a non-alcoholic Wine, a Rose, another unique feature. Walking away with "soul-charged" feelings while shaking hands with the owner of the winery, Karnail Sidhu. Thank you for an amazing one of a kind experience.

Excellent wines and excellent service! Super friendly staff and owner! Great experience! We are visiting Kelowna from Ottawa. Thank you for showing us and telling lots of stories about the wines. You made my first wine tasting experience unforgettable! We will come back and we will spread the word in Ottawa to come and visit Little Straw. Thank you Keith, Kiran and Simran!

Amazing staff, super friendly and generous. The food amazing, the tapestry wine amazing! Highly recommend. The chai martini at the end was perfection! Thank you guys!

Walking around the Kelowna Downtown Marina at night is such a relaxing experience. The lights reflecting off the water create a peaceful atmosphere, and the cool breeze makes evening strolls so enjoyable. It’s a perfect spot to unwind after a long day, take photos, or just enjoy the calmness of the lake. I love how safe and well-maintained the area feels, and it’s great for both locals and visitors to experience the beauty of Kelowna at night. Every walk here helps me recharge and appreciate the city even more.

Perfectly located in downtown Kelowna. I can't say enough good things about all the staff, everybody was truly customer service orientated from management to counter to boat staff. Friendly and responsive. Before we left for the day, made another booking because it was that much fun! Also, no need to wait for a boat valet to launch because, well, it is a marina and the boats are already in the water.

Absolutely stunning spot! The Downtown Marina offers fun boat & jet ski rentals with super friendly staff 🚤💙. Right next to it, Waterfront Park is perfect for lakeside walks, beach chills, and golden hour views 🌅📸. A must-visit for relaxing vibes and lake adventures! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #KelownaViews #WaterfrontVibes #OkanaganMagic

A beautiful place to walk and chill! Lot of activities to indulge in such as parasailing boating or just lounging on the beach! A peppy place with a lot of eateries nearby as well

Beautiful beautiful beautiful downtown Kelowna BC SLIPS FOR RENT You can pay for metered boat parking. Jetski and boat rentals available Lots of dining along the shoreline on Bernard and beyond.

Had an amazing experience at Kelowna Downtown Marina! Big shoutout to Kennedy at the front — she helped me with the booking and was super friendly and efficient. Her beautiful smile made the whole process even more welcoming! Once on the dock, Jackson was my boat guy and he was phenomenal. He clearly explained how to operate the boat and what to do in case of an emergency. His calm, upbeat attitude made me feel confident and ready to enjoy the ride. Both Kennedy and Jackson truly elevated the experience. Professional, kind, and genuinely great people. Highly recommend this marina — can’t wait to come back!

Zero Stars – Worst Experience Ever at Kelowna Downtown Marina We rented a boat from Kelowna Downtown Marina over the long weekend. The time on the water was amazing and we had a lot of fun — but it ended as an absolute nightmare. As we were returning to the dock, a security officer came onto our boat and told us to stop. Then another staff member jumped on board and accused us of reckless driving. Out of nowhere, they fined us $800 for “reckless driving” and “cleaning charges.” When we rented the boat, they specifically said there was no speed limit and never mentioned any cleaning fees. The boat was in perfect condition when we returned it — no scratches, no damage — and we even had kids on board, so we were driving carefully the entire time. The staff were extremely unprofessional and rude — when we tried to ask questions, they told us they had “no time” to explain. They had taken our credit card details for “security purposes” but then deducted extra charges without providing any clear justification. When we asked for a receipt, they refused to give one. This place operates like a scam — preying on customers with hidden fees, false accusations, and zero accountability. I would never recommend anyone to rent from Kelowna Downtown Marina. If you value your money, your time, and your peace of mind, stay far away from Kelowna Downtown Marina.

I visited this museum using the Canoo app, expecting it to be free — but the entry was $8. The museum is very small and the entire visit takes only a short time. Parking is paid and extremely difficult to find, especially on holidays. Even though there were only about five people inside, the parking lot was completely full. Honestly, if I hadn’t gotten it for free, I wouldn’t have felt it was worth it. The exhibits are limited and not very engaging for adults. It might be more appealing to kids, but not something I’d return to. Overall, not a must-visit — just okay if you’re nearby and it’s free.

the lady at the front was really nice. i thought the little creatures (the taxidermy animals) were super epic sauce. 9/10 it was cool wish the dinosaur exhibit had more things to look at. i would go again.

I recommend this place to bring your family for exploring history behind the formation of Okanagan Valley. Well, They have ancient windows of few retail stores and house at display, all are presenting in a great way. But, I was little shocked to see those birds and animals being used to display as a showpiece.

The most comprehensive museum for everything about the Okanagan's history and environment. Great variety of exhibits from different cultures and locations, spanning thousands of years. An absolute must visit. Give yourself at least 1.5 hours to see everything.

Having visited many large and well curated museums around the world, I found this to be a mighty little gem in Kelowna. Interesting artifacts. There's even a stuffed grizzly bear! On a more sombre note, the acknowledgement of both indigenous reconciliation and the history of racial displacement in Kelowna and the Okanagan (an important part of its history) was front and centre and something I wholly appreciated. I happened to make it in time for the travelling exhibit on the Japanese dispossession during and after World War II. It was a sobering, but much needed storytelling of the Japanese-Canadian experience (especially from the coast/lower mainland) throughout and past internment because of the war. A great little museum and worth a visit. I spent 2.5 hours on both the main and special exhibits (but I read every single placard in the museum). You probably only need 45 minutes to an hour if you just look at the artifacts and skim the placards.

Very well done museum, featuring many areas of the natural world, history, indigenous matters, local culture and industries. Great panoramic photos comparing 1912 to present day. (Reduced opening days in the off-season.)

Good local museum. Lots of indigenous information and perspective. Large reproductions of indigenous and settler buildings. Tonnes of artifacts and interactive pieces (not currently accessible for health safety reasons). Temporary Bat exhibit was very educational. Good physical distancing and mask use.

Finally!! So excited to finally make it to this winery. What a delight to have been helped by a family member, Avneet, who made the experience special - steeped in tradition, family history and love for the land. Best tasting ever. I think she's ready for her own business cards ;). Thank you for the wonderful experience! Highly recommended!

We originally only planned to buy a few bottles of wine, but Jen convinced us to try the tasting and we’re so glad she did! The place is very cozy, the hospitality was exceptional, and the wines were some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Kalala was an amazing find on our winery tour! Jennifer was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about wine, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The view was absolutely perfect—and most importantly, the white wine was fantastic!

This is one of my best choices for a good organic wine! They also have delicious organic juices (apple and cherry). Definitely worth a visit and tasting!

One of our favorite tastings in the area. Not only is all the wine delicious (we bought three different bottles), but the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming (especially Emma!)

A great environment and great wine! Biking up that hill was fun. But the view from the outdoor tasting tables just made it that much more special. Highly recommend

The loveliest owners and amazing selection of delicious organic wines. It was hard to choose a favourite. We will be back! Highly recommended!

Great well maintained trails that run lakeside. Perfect for walking, running and families

Nothing like jumping into the cool lake after a long hot day! The old ferry dock structure provides a very nice atmosphere for playtime on the water, including a rope swing and lots of space and platforms to jump or dive off of. There is a small beach accessible and places to sit with friends and family, maybe to have a picnic or to take the dog to cool off. There's not a lot of parking in the lot but you can always park on the roadside and walk down. Wheelchair parking and accessible too!

Calm n peaceful, good place to be if one wants to just sit on the bench and enjoy the weather n serenity or if one wants to walk on the beach. Not much of parking space and reversing on the main road could be slightly challenging.

This is our families favorite place to go when the Okanagan starts to get hot. I went there today because my late oldest son just loved being there in the summer to swim and jump off of the docks and skip rocks.

Took my kids here 4 a quick swim.

Great swimming area with docks to jump off and different levels of diving boards. Not the most luxurious sandy beach, but the dock and water makes up for that.

This place is seriously a must visit for anyone who lives in Kelowna. Awesome place to go to for casual walks. Also great in the summer especially for people who want to swim out in the Okanagan Lake. This park is great for families and for anyone with pets. Also a great for photographers who want to take some clean pictures of the lake.

Great atmosphere. We really enjoyed the wine tasting with the video show, and the woman who served us explained how each wine was made. The wines were delicious – you can’t find them in regular liquor stores. We definitely recommend this winery to everyone. We didn’t leave empty-handed – took home four bottles of different wines. Big thanks to the female consultant at the winery today for her care and attention. We’ll definitely come again!

I discovered one of my favorite wines in all of Canada here — the Grizzly Muscat! Fresh, crisp, with pear and grapefruit notes — absolutely amazing! We were welcomed by Travis, who was outstanding. He gave us the most detailed explanations about each wine, was incredibly friendly, and made our visit one of the best winery experiences in the area. 🙌🏻

My partner and I had a great, relaxing experience with our wine tasting. We chose to sit in the lounge, which was very comfortable, and not too intimidating! Travis did a great job recommending wines to try, sharing information on the wines we chose, and stayed personable! Suffice to say, I walked out with 4 bottles of wine and a smile on my face.

We attended an event here this past Saturday. Alex Maher was the musician and he put on a fabulous show. Not to mention the area they had the concert was beautifully laid out. Scenic and it was so spectacular watching the sun set behind the stage. We can’t wait to come back! Not to mention the wine was great we really enjoyed the rose!

This winery is an amazing spot to enjoy ice wines with your furry babies! 🐾 Special thanks to Tini, the lovely Taiwanese staff member. She was super friendly, spoke Chinese when needed, and helped us understand the wines better. We had a wonderful time here and especially loved the ice wines, rosé, and Riesling! They also have a great selection of souvenirs like ice wine tea, maple tea, candies, chocolates, and salmon products and more… Perfect for picking up gifts for friends! 🎁

I recently visited Grizzli Winery in Kelowna and had a truly enjoyable experience. From the moment I arrived, the ambiance stood out—elegant yet relaxed, with beautiful architecture and stunning vineyard views. The spacious tasting lounge and the attached Canadian art gallery gave the winery a unique cultural feel that set it apart from others in the area. I opted for a wine tasting and was impressed by the selection, especially their Icewine, which was a standout. The staff (Ted) were welcoming, knowledgeable, and took time to explain each pour without making the experience feel rushed. Will definitely recommend and comback in the future

Joey was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind, making us feel so welcome. He also has the most beautiful smile and perfect teeth, which somehow made the whole experience even more delightful. Thanks to him, it turned out to be one of the best winery visits we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Cedar Creek Park in the Upper Mission area of Kelowna is a great place to walk, hike or take your dog for a stroll. It has the biggest off-leash dog park in Kelowna and people come here so their dogs can jump in lake Okanagan. The trail down to the water is a bit steep and the walking trail isn’t that long, as there is a dock on one end and a boat launch on the other. Even if you don’t have a dog, it’s a nice place for a short walk. There are even picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy the water. The dogs and their walkers are friendly and it’s a nice place to enjoy the beauty of Kelowna.

New favourite dog park in Canada. Our pooch enjoyed the beach front! The storeline is small slippery stones but it's still enjoyable to swim! There are spaces out picnic tables and a few are shaded. Great off leash beach for all to enjoy. Everyone we met was friendly. Will definitely return next trip to Kelowna!

Took me a minute to find a dog friendly park that was on the lake. Loads of upon run green space at the top to the right of the parking area and friendly and easy to navigate mini switch back trails down to the water with benches and shaded seating so your furbabies can play in the lake and have shade on those scorching summer daya

Lots of seating around here, some great views around and across the lake. Beautiful place. Plus there is a off leash dog park with lots of friendly people. If you are ever sad I'm sure you could go and a friendly pup or two would come over to be friends and play. I can't see anything wrong with that. Go and have some fun!

This park is soo worth the drive down lake shore from anywhere in Kelowna! With the beautiful multi purpose field to the newly renovated pathways and stairs it's like Disneyland for dogs and people alike! Took a visiting girlfriend a few weeks back and we were in awe of the beauty this time of year! Well done city of Kelowna!

Rocky Beach, but dog friendly, not overly busy and plenty of space. Small boat launch, washroom ( port a potty ) picnic areas

This is ultimately one of the best dog beaches in Kelowna. The beach is clean and water is close and accessible to the picnic table. Our dog just jumped right and had a blast.

Stopped there as a way to break up a road trip and boy are we glad we did! The kids liked the little archaeological dig and the old timey shop. Actually the whole place was a vibe and the two guys working there when we visited were very pleasant and welcoming.

We loved it! They have a scavenger hunt for kids and if they complete it they get to pick a prize at the end. It give such a wonderful glance into the past and they have some really neat stuff. They also have an interactive area for kids to dig for treasures and a place for kids to write with chalk. All in all very cool!

Nice local museum with interesting exhibits and friendly and helpful staff. Centrally located but entrance from highway is a bit tricky.

Went for the Halloween event for kids. They loved it. It's a great little museum full of local history and memorabilia.

Very cool history. Loved reading about all the items and scanning the qr codes.

Just went for the visitor info. But neat exterior and unique sawmill display

Our homeschool group booked a tour with Jeremiah. He was very well educated on the okanagan history and told us many stories. He was patient and fun with the kids and he took his time and made sure to show us every room. It was great and we will definitely make it a yearly field trip.

Our college took our students to the Sncewips Heritage Museum. This allowed students to learn from Indigenous Peoples firsthand. Coralee was fantastic, very interactive and funny. We appreciated her knowledge and enthusiasm. This was an great experience for our students and myself. Thank you so much Coralee for teaching us all so much! You are such a wonderful person and I look forward to coming back with our next group of students. Thanks again to all the amazing staff for making our tour memorable.

I had the pleasure of attending a group tour to the Sncewips Heritage Museum, and I would highly recommend it! Coralee was an inspiring and wonderful storyteller; we learned about the history of the Syilx peoples, which was very eye-opening. I feel like everyone should visit this museum at least once in their life to better understand the atrocities of colonialism. Big thanks to the museum for accommodating our group of 25 - everyone thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

Wow what a treasure trove of knowledge there is here, especially if you're lucky enough to learn from Coralee! We initially went to learn a little about Westbank First Nation and ended up staying half the day, reading the signs, watching the videos and learning so much from Coralee herself on syilx history/culture and the Westbank First Nation's long journey to self-governance. Must visit!

It is totally free to come, however, you shall donate some for the museum. Not very big place, around 10-15 minutes you could have a quick view of the history here, also you are able to stay and watch videos for more information. The front desk provided travel maps and more details. By the way, the guide is very helpful and super nice. She gave me some useful advice, also answered me couple questions about the museum and Kolowna. Enjoy this lovely museum!

Amazing tour! Coralee is incredible - so knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. Learned a lot and had a great time

Amazing, Museum, Highly recommended visiting! Educational, funny and engaging tour guide.

Absolutely incredible. The staff were so kind and amazing to talk to. Thank you so much!

This is a great beach for families as it is not as busy and definitely more kid friendly. Great for paddle boarding or floating. The beach is more rocky and water shoes are needed to make it more comfortable. Sometimes boats fly by causing wakes so it can get big waves if boaters don't slow down making it interesting for paddle boarding. There is a pier too that you can jump off or lower your into your floaties.

Great beach, there’s a dock, bathrooms, two volleyball courts. Tons of some to soak up some sun, as well as plenty of shade. There’s a playground which your kids would love. The beach is mostly sandy. There’s never enough parking.

Very nice small beach. Mix of mostly sand and small rocks (rounded). Some picnic tables and clean public bathrooms 🚻. Suggest wearing water slippers due to lots of small rocks in the water. Very shallow, perfect for kids.

This park is amazing! Something for all ages of kids, lots to climb, and beach front.. what more could you want! Slides, swings, a rocking ship… and lots of green space!

The most bustling beach in West Kelowna on hot summer days and evenings. Super fun to jump off the large dock and climb up the ladders. Families looking for "more coverage" and less noise may want to head to Gellatly nut farm beach. Washrooms and playground are much better at Gellatly too.

A great little park with sandy beaches and grassy stretches, a sandy volleyball court and a great dock for jumping into.the shallow waters of Okanagan Lake! Beautiful views of Okanagan Mountain across the lake, too. Parking at the park is limited but there is plenty of street parking in the neighbourhood nearby.

Nice family beach!!! Sand and grass. With extras...Bathroom, picnic tables, volleyball nets, dock! Parking usually full. No rentals

Lovely venue, and the atmosphere was so elegant. The performance was amazing and the musicians were spectacular. Such talent! We loved that they each took a turn to speak to the audience, it made it feel more personal. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Highly recommend!

Beautiful venue and amazing employees! Such a special place to have a wedding 🤍

Lovely venue for celebrations and cherished events. Attended a Candlelight concert "A Tribute to ABBA" performed by the wonderfully talented Listeso String Quartet and it was a perfectly intimate setting, both visually and acoustically.

The Laurel Packing house is one of the most diverse venues here in kelowna! The team is warm and helpful. The atmosphere is perfect for large events. After multiple events at this venue - as a event planner - it is absolutely one I would recommend! Thank you to the Laurel Team for all you do!

4 of us were at the Candlelight Coldplay Concert held at Laurel Packinghouse last night. The setting is awesome - incredibly beautiful old structure built of big solid beams, solid fir rafters & original exposed brick. Very cool setting. I love Coldplay - we saw them in Vancouver last Sept - and the 4 piece stringed quartet was very good. It was tough not to sing along! If there was 1 thing I'd do differently - I'd mic & mix the quartet - crank up the volume - make it a fully immersive experience - but - it was very good! Definitely enjoyed it & would recommend it.

Great venue! My friends had their wedding here. It was a lovely barn vibe and a stunning set up. My first time at a wedding sitting in a bench format that actually worked. Nice set up for a bar and also the dance floor too! The museum is open in the day so you can learn a little bit of history.

They went all out with draping at the beautiful, Laurel Packinghouse. As a wedding officiant for Love Story Ceremonies I performed my first ceremony here. I am also the Laurel Coordinator so I’ve had the opportunity to see many weddings set up and I think my favourite is when the old wooden beams and historical essence is allowed to reveal itself. The draping was beautiful but so is the Laurel without any decoration at all! It’s a fantastic event space with the best vibes. It’s a great place for any event or wedding.

Nice off the beaten path local park with views of Okanagan Lake and the mountains. This is not a fancy park with a lot of amenities. There are nice walking paths and some picnic tables and it’s generally quiet.

Beautiful nice loop trail to walk with kids and doggy. Not too many people and path was well maintained. Just be careful that there are many tiny cactus rolling on the side of path and our puppy stepped onto few of them. It was quite painful to remove them as well.

One of my favorite places to walk my dog. The main access via Collins Hill has a gate that is often closed in the winter (probably because the road down to the small parking lot is quite steep and would be treacherous in the snow) but the trails can be accessed on either end by the Sunnyside or Casa Loma neighborhoods (limited street parking) or off of Collins Road. The lower trail is fairly wide and follows the lake and has vault toilets and trash cans midway (please pick up after your dog!). There is a unfenced dog beach area (a bit more natural -no sandy smooth beach here) - this is the only off-leash area. The upper trail is very narrow but has beautiful views. Watch out for patches of a prickly pear low growing cactus - they will get stuck in your dog's paws- they are in a few areas just off the upper trail. Note that these trails tend to get quite busy in summer and on weekends. Also a nice place to launch your kayak with a dock that has a launch for handicapped (only in the summer).

Local secret. Tons of beach space with two dog beaches. Not enough parking. Clean with restrooms. Wheelchair accessible kayaking ramp. Main beach no dogs allowed but Red Plates bring them there. Call bylaws .

A wonderful park with plenty of lake access, dog beaches, swimming area and a scenic trail. A lot of prickly pear cactus keep your dogs on the trail or in the lake.

Vernon to pentdition on lake okanagan, 3 days paddle the whole lake,I sleep out at Kalamoir pk.what a beautiful evening,star gazing and the moon was half moon,an fantastic experience, Many dog walkers and people swimming,

Hidden gem of a park on Kelowna's west side. Great views of the lake from the hiking trails. Cool feature of "Miner Bees" on one part of the trail.

Adventurous, exciting and lots of fun, must do when in Kelowna! $100 per person sharing on twin basis, nice crew, boys did shoot few videos for us! Since it was only 2 of us on the boat, they did skimp on boat ride time, but good experience in all!

We just went this morning! I was nervous since it rained all night. I was so nervous to go up, I don’t like heights but I wasn’t about to be the only person who missed out and I’m so glad I went. In my mind I was expecting a fast release. Something that would turn my stomach but it was so controlled and gradual you barely felt like you were moving. It wasn’t even scary when I got up there. The crew were awesome. And the photos were awesome! I highly recommend doing it, I am someone who likes my feet on solid ground and even I had a blast!

I've done parasailing before with my spouse, and we had a great experience. We decided to come back and bring our kids, as a end of the summer surprise. The staff were efficient, personable, and made everyone feel safe. We were able to obtain professional photos for an additional fee, and I'm glad we did. They were exceptionally happy to get the "smiley face" one too! We will be back again :)

Had a blast doing this!! The staff at the registration desk were very kind. Sebastian and Brinley on the boat were competent and made us feel very safe. They even take photos of you that you can purchase afterwards.

We had such a great experience today! Thanks Will and Tyler for a great time!They made me feel confident with my 13 year old and her friend going up! They even dip your feet if you want too! 5 stars easily!

We had a great experience. I was anxious before leaving but the team made us feel very safe. My 7 year old felt safe all the way. I recommend this to anyone looking to try it out. You would be glad you did.

I went parasailing yesterday and it was an amazing experience! Everything felt safe, organized, and fun. The instructor was super friendly, professional, and made the whole ride even better. Highly recommend!

Hey friends, H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre, funded by our taxes, is a massive letdown. On Mother’s Day yesterday, my friend filmed a selfie in a quiet corner, with no one behind her, not using a mirror. The gym was almost empty—I have a photo to prove it! Staff Jocelyn stopped her, claiming “Someone might pass by.” My friend instantly stopped filming and politely asked for the rules, but Jocelyn offered no clear policy, used offensive language, and threatened to kick her out and cancel her membership. A year ago I had a similar experience, my nearly 10-year-old daughter was stretching with me when a staff ordered us out, scaring her to tears with no comfort, even banning her from resting at the entrance. She’s too afraid to exercise now. We’ve stopped going to avoid threats. Kelowna taxpayers deserve better! Staff need training and clear rules.

Nice pool with different features/areas for kids and adults to use. We spent about 3 hours here in the lazy river, wave pool, and hot tub. I found the pools to be relatively clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. But, some pathways and floors were pretty dirty and either seemed to be overlooked. I'm glad that I wore flipflops to get from pool to pool as the corners of the steps looked like a film had grown over some areas. Additionally, the drinking fountain near the adults only hot tub at the top of the stairs had a brown film growing inside of it and was clogged. There were some pool toys for the kids, but many of them were busted and/or torn with a limited selection. The change rooms could use more private changing rooms and those private changing rooms could also have been a bit cleaner. The drop-in/payment at the counter was pretty lengthy and they didn't have many staff members working at the front to get people into the facility. We were second in line and still waited about 10 minutes before we could pay to enter. More of a 3.5/5 than a 4.

It’s pretty nice for a community pool but stars are knocked off because the change rooms are absolutely DISGUSTING. We were in and out of them over a course of a few hours and never saw anyone cleaning them. They honestly look like no one has cleaned them in a week. I’ve never seen so much hair on a floor in my life. Long black strands plugging all the drains. And gobs of spit!!! My kids, who normally don’t care about getting dirty, were totally grossed out. Also we went through a dollar in change before we found a locker that worked. Last complaint is the front admissions, which I saw other remarks about too: sooo sloooow. Not sure why it took 15 minutes for a few people to pay for a drop-in. Otherwise, the Flowrider is a unique thing my kids liked. Three slides (one was closed). Disappointed that you have to be 13 to jump off the higher diving board. Water was cold. I guess I wasn’t done complaining. I personally wouldn’t come back but my little kids probably would. Not my teen though. He was bored pretty fast.

Really nice water park with lots to do. Few things I didn't know and you should be aware of is that some activities close one hour before closing time, like big slides. Also you need your ID to go to the water park. We missed the slides because we didn't know that. You need to be 42" to use to slides.

It's a great facility and was not packed like usually,but it's still worth going 👍 can't wait till 65, soon then I get a discount Highly recommend as an activity,but sadly it's a bit pricey,so stay as long as you can. Get your money worth and do all the activities,so much fun packed under one roof . I go with my whole family,but not all at once 😎I take my grandkids they 💕 it

Mario is amazing… sadly had to cancel my membership just because it’s not the best location vs my new gym. But MARIO , he is the best person there 100%

Staff is friendly, place is huge and mostly crowded. They have many pools including kids pool, hot tub, family pool, wave surfing and gym. They offer swimming lessons as well but sometimes hot tub is closed, slides are closed, bit congested etc hence a bit disappointing but nevertheless worth visiting.

Went and saw the new Superman, was a good time! The first time I used the atom system the lady at the counter was amazingly helpful in letting me know that I didn't have to wait in line I could just come to the machine and they helped me, she was super sweet and awesome, I've always liked Landmark a little better than Cineplex for it's better choice of drinks and snacks

Just saw F1 recently. While it was loud, it was only because they cranked the volume way up. The actual sound quality was pretty horrible. Get better surround sound at home honestly.

Wow. Just exceptional customer service from Cooper Gronick. And the whole staff. If you’re ever craving a movie, RUN, don’t walk, to Landmark Cinemas West Kelowna. ASK FOR COOPER! 6️⃣7️⃣

A decent theater, not cheap but still a nice treat. Nice soft chairs good audio.

Chairs are not comfortable thebpop corn os cheep and not tasty like it used to be No staff on Will go go else where from now on

We've been coming to this theater for years and are always so happy with the customer service. They are all so lovely and kind - tonight the cashier at concession helped us save money with our Landmark Extras card which was also really cool. Keep on rocking it guys :)

Give us an 8pm showtime and you will see more butts in seats! Underrated spot. Thank god it’s not a cineplex! Their pre-show commercial however is waay too loud and jarring.

I saw the most beautiful sunset in Kelowna while I was here. (See pics below - no editing). This park has many tables and chairs, kid playground, swings, and beach access. Perfect for kids and family, friend hangouts, or play with your pets. Abbott street has many parks similar to this but I think Kinsmen Park is the biggest one along this street.

2 courts in good shape, plenty of parking. One court is in the shade - great when it's hot

Really nice park, there are benches right by the beach. If you go to either side of the park, you might find small sandy beaches.

Stunning 4-seasons place to enjoy the lake and views of West Kelowna and the bridge. 2 Tennis courts, lots of shade, benches and ample room for picnics. Bathrooms are open in the summer and early fall. Don’t expect a Sandy beach here though

When in Kelowna British Colombia Canada, you must visit Kinsmen Park. It is a good place to relax seeing the view of west Kelowna and the Okanagan Lake. Best to be here during summer ( I would think that there are lot of activities here). I visited the park during fall season ( really cold), so it is like a Zombie Apocalypse... There were only few people who visit during that time. But in summer, I think this is the perfect place to visit and have a group activity (eating, chatting etc..). I love this place and definitely be back soon... #ILOVEKELOWNA

Great place for our door fun green grass playground tennis courts park benches shade great cast space for everyone stairs to go down in to the water great place even for anytime picnicking go see and great spectacular okanagan view....anytime of day or evening...go see its kelowna at its best

Beautiful park. Park was kept clean and had easy access to washroom. Both children and adults will like this park for cycling and or long walks. It was a beautiful bright day when we visited. Would love to come here again.

First time here, and it's peaceful 🙏🏻 thank you God for your creation 🙏🏻 😍🥰 appreciate the cleanliness and maintenance, especially the washroom. Keep it up❣️🙏🏻

Definitely a must visit place if you're in Kelowna. I would say the best place to view the sunset along the Okanagan lake. Washrooms are available. Parking space is not that large enough, but street parking is available. Need to walk a bit if you're parking your vehicle on the streets.

Must visit in Kelowna at anytime to truely enjoy nature. The wind and vibe was awesome. Sunset is beautiful and clean washrooms are available. Plenty of parking and one can enjoy some beer at specific spots too

This beach has lots to offer for space either on the sand to build sandcastles or on the grass to picnic. There's big shady trees when the sun is at it's peak and many places to enter the cool lake for a dip, float or boarding, whatever your heart desires. *Bonus, public washrooms

Nice little beach to hang out at the lake. Was too cold at the time for my liking but enjoyed sitting on the grass in the sun, there's sand if you prefer that. Lots of people were there but it is a spacious beach that it didn't feel like there was any crowding. And the parking lot is super close

A really nice beach nestled in the lower Mission area. Good parking with more on the road. It has a really nice playground, grass area and washrooms. Great place for families. They recently have been adding sand to the beach to get rid of the rocks. The shallow water is rocky so you will want to wear sandals or Crocs.

Beautiful beach. Not overly crowded. Great little playground for the kids. Sand area to play in. Bathrooms were older but clean.

If you’re in Kelowna and don’t visit Lakefront Sports Centre, you’re seriously missing out — and if you’re lucky enough to get Alfie, consider it your best day ever! From start to finish, Alfie made sure we were well informed and had an absolute blast. Super friendly, hilarious, and knew exactly how to keep the good vibes rolling. We were on the seadoo and we had such an incredible time! The views alone are worth it — crystal-clear water, mountains in the distance, and that perfect Okanagan sunshine. It felt like we stepped straight into a postcard. Huge shoutout to Alfie and Carolina at the front desk for making our experience unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back next summer — we’re already planning it! 🌞🏄‍♂️🍹

Had an absolutely amazing time flyboarding with Lakefront Sports Centre! There were 5 of us, and not only did Kailus and Alfie provide fantastic, clear instructions, but they also gave us an incredible deal on the price. They made sure we all felt comfortable and had a blast in the water. Highly recommend them for an exhilarating experience and great value!

We had a group of 5 and decided to go flyboarding for the first time. All the staff were super helpful and we had a great time on the dock. Coming back to rent more stuff out today. Kailus and Alfie made for a great first flyboarding experience! Highly recommend the spot and solid prices as well.

Had an Amazing Time Jet Skiing! I had an awesome experience with the jet skis at the lakefront! The equipment was top-notch and so much fun to ride. Big shoutout to Jason—he was super helpful, friendly, and made the whole process smooth and easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some fun on the water!

Scam. Broken jet ski and stranded in the middle of the lake. Pre paid for 2 hours, only got a 20 minute ride and the rest I had to turtle back at 10km due to the jetski constantly stalling. no refund options as the workers are kids and had no care in the world. Why would I pay for 2 hours if we only got to ride for 20 due to their broken equipment? Worker at the dock tried to say we damaged the haul, luckily we had taken a photo of the damage that was already there. Other rental company down the boardwalk warned us this company was a scam and we didn’t listen. Waste of $750.

They were able to accommodate our group last minute for Canada Day. Crew was awesome and super friendly!! Definitely recommend them

Such a fun place! We have hosted two parties here, a laser tag party and a paintball party. Both went really well. The owners are really kind and the staff is very helpful. A lot of thought and planning has gone into this facility. They've got three large paintball fields and two laser tag fields. They have many covered tents for parties. Great spot! Great facility. Thanks for an amazing time Safari Ridge!

Fantastic place to run around and shoot your friends. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. They explain the rules snd safety measure really well. The environment is very fun with multiple maps of different kind. They provide every piece of gear you'd need and always help you with any issues you're having. Overall, this is a great place to unwind and have some fun with your buds.

Loved it! This was the first time playing paintball for our family of four. Adam was amazing and had us sorted, safe, and having a blast within ten minutes of arriving. Great family memories. We will be back.

We had a combined 12th Birthday Party here this past weekend. We booked for 12:00 noon and prepaid in advance (yah for 10% discount!). We had a total of 8 boys and check in took less than 2 minutes. The boys were in their gear within 5 miutes and watching the safety video. Adam then took the boys off to their first game for more instruction while the Moms got everything settled in our private tent. I can not say enough good things about Adam!! It was a crazy day but he checked in on the boys and the Moms often!! Any gun / paint ball issues were taken care of immediately so no down the for the boys!! This was year 2 for hosting my son's birthday here and we will deffinetly be back! We spent a total of 4 hours and all boys were very tired when we left.

We had a blast doing the archery course! It's a bit tricky learning to shoot with foam butts at the end of the arrows, but they give you time to practice beforehand.

We booked Safari Ridge for a corporate event: they were friendly, professional, and also gave us enough autonomy to just have fun on the field... *ahem* I mean, as much fun as you can have getting pelted by your co-workers by a ball traveling 250 feet per second. The fields are big and spacious, there were about 8-9 fields, all well kept and safe. Our team had a really great time and we'd definitely do it again! Edit: year two for our corporate function, another huge success. The team here is great, prompt, and made it pretty zip to get up and running marking each other up.

Brought a group of our 7-10 year old hockey kids and they absolutely loved it. Haven't stopped talking about it for the last 2 days. Great staff, great maps and great value! Highly recommended. We will do it again for sure. Joan took some great photos of the kids in action as well which was awesome!

Great little hike in the city. You can bike on the trail. It’s a nice hike by the mission creek. Probably around 1.5 h to go to the very end of the trail. I think end of the trail was closed due to flooding in the past. People on the trail were saying they saw some bears, so keep your eyes open 😊

I am unfortunately not from Kelowna however wish I was. Great effort has very apparently been made to make every corners of the city enjoyable (except Harvey on rush hour and the lack of turn left arrow at street lights). What a great little pathway along a creek. Clean, flat and wide. When the fall colors come, the whole path is a colorful corridor. It was a great find i didn't know existed and will become a frequent stop. In case someone running the place reads this, I went with my daughter that uses a modified for trails wheelchair and her tires were flat. The little mount by the parking lot that has a tire pump, well the pump doesn't work at all. Perhaps worth fixing

Nestled in the heart of Kelowna's countryside, this provincial park is a breathtaking sight and a hidden gem for all those seeking an unforgettable adventure.

Well maintained paths most of the way. The north side path (closer to road entrances) is good for bikes and goes the entire length. If you cross the bridge to the south, the path ends part way in some areas and becomes more rocky, better for walking/hiking. It can get a little muddy after rainy days and after the snow melts. Definitely recommend for casual bike rides in the Fall to see the foliage. Probably need strong mosquito protection closer to the summer months. I hope to explore the entire length (Canyon to Lakeshore) at some point this year. There's Creekside Pub at the end of the greenway if you need a beer stop.

Great place for the salmon run! Beautiful location and fantastic playground!! Unfortunately I can only give it 2 stars though as both myself and my 2 year old got eaten alive by tiny black flies that draw blood with every bite! We are new to the area and had no clue about this! Our short visit resulted in 50 bites on my neck alone (my husband counted) and about 20 on his. Sadly for this reason, we won’t be back.

Great easy path, nice and wide for most of the way, even saw some turtles! You can make it a long hike or short, whatever suits you. Lots of bikers on the trails but they were so wide it was still comfortable for everyone

This is a fabulous flat ride until Hollywood Station. If you want a bit more of a rugged ride keep on going to Scenic Canyon... it’s about 7 km to layer cake rock. What an awesome scene when you get there

This is a great place to swim, paddle board, and even hike. Great scenery and quiet place. You can hike the trail for two hours. Also great location for paddle boarding as there are not jet skies or boats around.

Great beach to launch your paddle board and head south. Beautiful shoreline with lots of little pebble beaches, colorful graffiti and Cliff over hangs. 😁

If you go to pebble beach and want a little less public more rugged spot....just walk to the water then hang a right and follow the beach past several rich peoples shore front homes. Over their boat dock and now there's no more houses replaced will rock cliffs. Follow around the jutted out rock and viola a more secluded beautiful string of spots. Seen mutiple snakes and HUGE spiders. Also very slippery rocks in shallow water but clear beautiful water great for swimming. Its oh so beautiful!

Cute lil beach. Nice green grass which is rare in kelowna these days. Volley ball net and sand court area. Beach is pebbles like sharp ones. Bring flip flops. Free parking. Low key and beautiful views of the lake

Great little beach ⛱️ 😎 right next to mountain. Kayak, swim, float, etc.

Nice beach that is relatively not busy for the Okanagan. Great place to boulder as well.

Definitely need water shoes but great little beach, went to the right just past the dock.

BEST PLACE IN TOWN for your paddleboard or Kayak rental and more! They have several locations too at Bear Creek provincial Park in West Kelowna, Sun Oka beach in Summerland and Tugboat Bay in the Grand Hotel area of downtown Kelowna. Definitely the place to try a stand up Paddleboard!

Esmee was fantastic! She hooked us up with paddle boards straight away and gave us a great lesson before getting us in the water. We had the best hour on the water and Esmee got our boards out for us even being the only one working at the moment and being super busy.

I rented 2 kayaks for 1 hr from Okanagan Beach Rentals at Rotary Beach and the process was super easy and efficient! Annika helped us out and made everything run smoothly. Thanks for the great experience!

Great service with a fun variety of water sports equipment. Our family has been enjoying the use of your beach rentals at all your locations for several years. Thanks for everything, guys!

Had a great experience renting kayaks at Rotary Beach in Kelowna!! The service was amazing, staff were super helpful! Had a really fun day on the water!! Thanks guys!! I would highly recommend Okanagan Beach Rentals if you’re looking to rent kayaks and paddleboards!

I had the opportunity of dealing with Kellie directly from the get go and we got everything sorted out via phone call which was great because there was no miscommunication. When I got to the rental office I was dealing with Esmee. She was a delight and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable going out in the water. A true professional, and was not rushing anyone. Thank you to everyone involved, it was a delight.

Loved kayaking here! Great staff that answered questions we had & were friendly.

Super shady fenced in and great for littles. Beach is more rock then sand

Absolutely gorgeous. Quiet, peaceful and serene.

Nice little beach park with a playground for the little guys

Nice that the kids park is gated off and excludes dogs, so not to have any surprise accidents when running around. Play ground is decent, but no swings. Sandy/rocky beach water access area with a few trees for shade. It can be really windy here and there doesn't seem to be much shelter from that.

Perfect park. Fenced off from the road, big grassy area, covered picnic tables, lots of tree shade, fun playground, big sand beach and sheltered water. Also a flush bathroom and sinks. Parking is right there.

Great playground for kids. Some green space, benches, couple of picnic tables and beach area. Beach is a bit rocky and there are no swings.

Nice place with a kids play ground. Rockier beach but less weeds then others near it. Benches close to the entrance under the trees for grandparents to watch as well.

Great organization! Sad that they took away pianos in parks so soon however!

Live music and great family atmosphere

Pretty nice place mostly friendly staff. Kind for kids. Just a couple typical kinda passive aggressive issues in the environment same as basically everywhere out here now. The old cranky people and rude attitudes. Pretty clean playground area. Good place to bring younger kids to learn to enjoy the water safely and have some fun for the better part.

We really enjoyed our visit. The staff were very welcoming, lifeguards were friendly too. The hot tub was excellent and the pool was lovely. The only thing that could be improved is that the family changing room stalls smelled like septic.

We love this little pool. They have a beach style enternace, a small warm pool, hot tub and a stream room. The pool has

It does the trick for a basic swim and relaxation. However the gym and pool area are in need of major revitalization, compared to other pools/gyms in the Okanagan.

A staple in the West Kelowna community. Grateful to have this space for our little one to build their confidence in the water. Affordable swim lesson options. Great parent viewing option. They also have a playground outside that looks great for various ages.

It's a great little swimming pool! Wish it was bigger, needs some upgrades inside but otherwise staff are very helpful and friendly

My boys have so much fun on the new skate park, yesterday as well as the swimming pool and and playing in the big field.
