Stayed on this ranch when we were in the Canadian Rockies three years ago. Leo was very entertaining and accommodating, I truly enjoyed our stay here for seven (7) days . The hot tub was my most favorite part and the scenery of the mountains made our trip complete. I would surely come back again when the right time comes!

I stopped in for a tour the day before I left to come back to Saskatchewan. I was looking for something magical… Something that would stand out on my trip to Golden. I felt very drawn to this, and it was completely magical! If your in Golden in the Summer months to early fall stop here and get a tour! Leo is fantastic and I won’t forget the stories and details of the Buffalo that he shared. Leo is a beautiful soul and the experience you have if you choose to take it all in will feel like you just arrived even though a few hours have passed. I felt like hugging him! Completely warm experience. Thankyou Leo your awesome & so much love to you!! If I’m in Golden in the future I’m coming back to stay in one of the rentals!! 🙏💫

I am obsessed with this place. The view was absolutely breathtaking and it was so peaceful I felt like I was living a dream. If you want a romantic getaway that's off the grid I highly recommend this place. The cabin was very clean and the wood stove kept us warm all night! I got to pet the animals and hike nearby trails. Leo was so friendly and let us get close up views of the buffalos. I am definitely coming back here every year!

The highlight of our trip to Golden was stopping in to meet Leo & his buffalo. Amazing tour and story teller; we could have stayed the whole day just to hear him speak. The buffalo are breathtaking and so are the views. Looking forward to coming back and spending a few nights at the cabins.

My partner and I truly had an unforgettable experience while staying at the Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch. The cabins were quaint clean and the scenery was unbelievable. Beyond that, Leo was an incredible host, who made the stay better than we could have ever imagined. This hidden gem is a MUST, if you are travelling through or near Golden, BC.

Visited on June 3, 2023 for a Bison tour. Amazing place, totally worth visiting. There were 19 bisons, including 5 calves, and Leo, the owner, knows everything about them. He gave us a wonderful tour, we could see these huge animals from very close. Most of the reviews here are quite old so I want to confirm this place is still in business and welcoming visitors

What a great place to be. Leo, the host, gave us a really good experience with the Buffalo Tour. He has so many stories to tell you and much insight of these great animals. Worth every dime. Great for families too. We will surely come back for a stay in one of the lovely cabins. Such a quiet powerful place which makes you think what’s really important in this world. Thanks again Leo! ❤️🫶🏻

We lucked out and scored a last-minute booking to avoid tenting in the rain. The Bunkhouse (the most rustic cabin on the ranch) proved to be a great alternative with a surprisingly comfortable bed and layers upon layers of blankets perfect for snuggling to stave off the chill of a sudden cold snap at the onset of autumn. While the open-air setup and lack of conventional toilets or running water could be a tad “too primitive” for some, it has the potential to be a great stay for anyone willing to give up a few creature comforts for a unique experience.

What an amazing place! Leo is fantastic at story telling and speaks from the heart. He really cares about his animals and treats them and nature with respect. Visited last week and will definitely include a visit next time. Highly recommended if you are visiting Golden - please note that younger children might find it a bit long...but stories and animals are still amazing!

Airbnb Stay:
This stay exceeded all expectations, it is 110% worth it. We got engaged a few days before our stay, and our time on the ranch added a magical touch to our trip. We stayed in the Sauna Cabin, which instantly felt like a home away from home. Even though we arrived late at night, it was easy to find the property. Being surrounded by nature (on a BUFFALO ranch!!!) was a unique experience allowing us to properly recharge. If you are on the fence about staying here, take the leap and book it - DO IT! The area is wonderful, serene and recharging. Chester Jr and the herd added an extra layer of charm to the experience.
Buffalo Tour:
If you want to inquire more about the Buffalos and hear adventurous stories, the Buffalo Tours is a must! You will not be disappointed, you will leave knowing more about the owner but also the Buffalo herd and its history. You might also learn how to do a bow drill fire!!!! If you enjoy the tour and want to keep a memory that will ignite your adventurous side and make you feel like you are sitting at a camp fire with Leo sharing his stories, I suggest you snag a copy of his book.
Sabrina — Google review
We went for the daily tour at 10:15. Unfortunately the owner and guide Leo was sick but one of the hired hands gave the tour and he did a great job even though he had only been there a couple months. Really cool to see all the buffalo as we are from Nova Scotia and don’t have those animals back home. The kids said that it was cool to go there.

We stayed here a few years ago on a tour of the Rockies, and spent two nights in the "sauna" cabin. It was a tremendous experience, especially cooking breakfast on the old cast-iron "rancher" stove. If you are in the area, try to call in at the Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation which is about 10 miles away, in the town of "Field" - it's where the oldest geological deposits ever discovered on Earth can be found.
Ian Dykes — Google review
We stayed in the Sauna Cabin for 8 incredibly cozy days in January and it was an experience we will never forget.
No electricity in the cabin, just a fireplace in the sauna for heating, a smartly built kitchen with enough utensils to prepare lovely meals, phenomenal mountain view, lots of snow and -4 degrees Fahrenheit/-20 degrees Celsius.
It was the perfect mixture for a quiet, peaceful, „back to basic“ stay, that opened our eyes in many ways and will forever stay in our memories as one of our all-time highlights on our world trip.
We would LOVE to come here again and miss this place so much!

I did not stay over night but just a tour of the ranch. It wasn’t a “show up see Buffalo and leave”. Leo was such a nice, welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable person. He informs you of the history of the Buffalo, tells you his experience and answered any and all questions. Extremely unique experience and a great place to stay where you will feel truly connected to the land.

Wow!! What a tour! Leo is the best. He took the time to explain all about the buffalo's and other animals he's worked with. He is very friendly and patient. You can truly tell he loves all the animals on the ranch. The Buffalo's are majestic and they get close to the fence so you get a pretty good look at them, about 5 feet away. Leo gets in with them which is wild! I highly recommend this tour, the price is not expensive and it will be worth it. Next time I'm in this area I'm definitely staying on the ranch. My entire family cannot stop talking about it.
I just had the pleasure to take a trip to beautiful Golden BC and visit the Northern Lights Wolf Center. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions (no matter how silly) I was lucky enough to go on a Wolf Walk with the lovely Flora (wolf) I got to see her walking around off leash in a natural environment. Lots of great photo opportunities and got to pose with her in a few! The ladies hosting the walk were fantastic and knew their stuff when it came to the wolf pack. I can definitely say I will be back to see the pack again!
Jonny — Google review
Unfortunately was not up to our expectations. (Kids were so excited!) We were too early and waited in the area around one hour as the centre opens at 12pm. After paying entry fees (Cash only, so we used the ATM inside the centre) entered the centre. There were few wolves in separate fenced areas. You can watch them through the fence nets. That’s pretty much when in comes to viewing and interactions. Then there was a narrative done by a staff member which lasted for maybe 15 minutes which was informative. Not even one animal was taken out of the cages at least during the narrative. Not the money we spent but the time we spent was not worth it! Just our experience.

Thought i’d bring my son to learn more about wolves today; instead I was shocked at the conditions it is like a run down zoo. The wolves look terrible.,The website says not to call to book ahead as they run tours daily every 30 minutes. We arrived just after 1pm and missed that one so decided to wait for the 130pm ( there was no tour at 130pm) I tried to find an employee to ask and I was told they were short staffed and not planning on running another tour until 230pm. I had already paid for my son and I - we dove1.5 hours from Radium to visit and we already did a self guided tour but we were curious where these wolves came from? As well as other questions-The one employee who said no more tours until 2:30pm then said hesitantly that she will answer any questions that I had and then went on a rant about the mistreatment of wolves in the wild because the government allows them to get hunted. This place is a run down shanty and the wolves are very sad looking and dirty. Don’t support this place. They also have blasted on their website that no dogs are allowed- but they have dogs running the property freely barking and annoying/teasing the wolves. ( the dogs run free the wolves do not). Horrible experience I wish there was 0 stars to give.,

Great place to learn about the importance of wolves in our ecosystem. The staff (partially volunteer run) talks about the situation between Yellowstone National Park and Canada, when some wolves were borrowed in order to up the wolf population. Lots of other important things covered. Saw a few wolves behind very tall fences. You can stay for as long as you want. The talk is about 20 minutes and you can sit on wooden benches during it. There is also a little gift shop. Tickets were about $12 each, cash only. Not a lot of parking, maybe 8 spots.

What an amazing experience! All the wolves even started howling while we were there. Be aware that this is a conservation facility and not a zoo, so it is a teaching and an awareness moment when visiting and ot for entertainment. The staff were so friendly and helpful and you can see they deeply care for the animals. The gift shop also has a great selection. They don't have card facilities, so remember to take cash. Luckily, they also have an on-site ATM.

We were a bit hesitant on visiting this place for a couple of reasons. 1 we had found the area super expensive and a bit of a tourist fleecing trap. 2 some of the reviews are pretty negative. With that in mind, as it was literally ten mins drive from where we were staying, and we are animal lovers we gave it a try.
It’s a relatively little site easy to find on Google Maps and sufficient parking. Cost is cheap and was paid, you can go in and wonder around. There are a bunch of info boards around the place as well as some gift shop stuff. And there are a couple of enclosures with the wolves in. All good, we could see the wolves, and they were lovely. If it was just that, you would maybe have said Ok that’s a bit expensive. But they do regular “interpretive talks” where they explain all about the wolves, their impact on the ecosystem etc etc. Our one was carried out by a lady whose name escapes me, however she really nailed it. I have attended hundreds of events where people are talking to a crowd. Be they entertainment events, work events or whatever, I have been to a lot. This lady was hands down the best speaker I have ever seen. First off, she didn’t use a microphone, but was loud enough (without shouting / yelling) that we could all hear. She was expressive with her voice and interactive with the audience of about 30. She knew her stuff and told us a lot of really interesting facts and figures. She talked about the wolves being keystone species, which lines up with information we have read elsewhere. The talk lasted maybe 25 mins, but it was hard to tell as we were thoroughly engaged.
There was no political agenda, no forcing things down our throats and a genuine “Thank you” for attending as it is a big help towards the conservation.
Additionally, although we didn’t do it - you an book to go on a wild walk with some wolves, where they walk free and will come up and around you whilst taking a walk in the forest. Chance to get some great pics I imagine. Might do that in the future if we came back through the area.
Absolutely recommend spending an hour here!

If you're driving through staying in Golden or just driving through, this place is a must see. The work they are doing to bring information to the public about these beautiful animals and how endangered they are, is extremely admirable. The staff are very knowledgeable and love what they do. They will be happy to answer any of your questions. When the wolves begin howling and it echoes through the valley, you will be transported to a whole other world. The gift shop is full of amazing items. They rely on donations, so please visit so they can continue to do the incredible work they are doing here.

We are from Alberta and we recently purchased a R.V, before setting out on a big trip we decided to do a trial run and go to the IPE in the BC interior. On the way through Golden we heard about a wolf sanctuary up the road, being the animal lover we are we decided to head up there and take a look. We we got there and stepped through the door we were immediately there treated with disrespect. Us being a family of 3 asked if we could purchase a family pass because it’s cheaper then to buy individually. When we asked the lady at the front counter, we were snarled at by the owner who was restocking the atm that she apparently owns. She refused to cut us the two dollar break because we “didn’t qualify”. I guess to be considered a family you must ONLY have 4 members in it. After we then paid the individual fees, we were allowed in. We were given a paper that had a bunch of information on it and as I was reading it over one of the so-called “facts” caught my eye. It claimed that there has never been a single wolf attack that resulted in a death, a simple goggle search would find out there have been recorded cases of a wolf killing a human. Blatant lies. Looking at other reviews, it seems I’m not the only one who thought the enclosures were very tiny, they couldn’t even run in them. Then the owner comes back out and starts to feed the wolves, one of the newer wolves was very small, he was scared to eat because of the bigger wolves. Her seeing this, she did nothing about this, at least she could have closed the pan so he could actually eat and not be in fear.

We've been there today. Staff was friendly, and was asking to anser questions. the wolves were very interesting and cute. Ticket's cost 15$ each. Which was okay I think. But the area was way smaller than expected, but still beautiful and lovely. The gift shop was nice and they had cool souvenirs, but very pricy.
Overall worth a visit, but it's only 30-60 minutes stay.

In the Canadian Rockies, there's a remarkable sanctuary where wolves, formerly part of the movie industry, find refuge and care. The bond and affection shared between these wolves and the woman who oversees their care, along with her staff, is truly heartwarming to witness. The experience of walking alongside a stunning white (gray) wolf, gradually earning its trust, and ultimately having it comfortable enough to approach you, is both unique and extraordinary. After spending an hour there, I found myself deeply enamored with the wolf and filled with respect for Shely, the nurturing 'mother' of these wolves.

We went to the northern lights wildlife wolf centre to see wolves. We got educated by a young girl who explained a lot of history to us about the wolves and how they impact our ecosystems, how we helped out yellowstone and how our government is killing wolves here in Canada with a harmful poison. Very sad. We were expecting to see the wolves moving around and maybe more wolves but there’s only 6 and we only seen 4. 3 were sleeping while we were there. You could book a tour with the wolf walking with you in the forest for a few hours that’s what we wanted to do originally but you have to book far enough in advance to get a good time slot unfortunately didn’t add up with our trip time so we went to check it out anyways and it was a bit of a let down as most of them were sleeping and couldn’t see them all. Small space can’t walk around the cages coated us 30$ it was nice to see the wolves just would’ve been cooler to see them moving around and if we could walk around more to check them out. Not much to do there.

Was expecting a bit larger area (compared to other wildlife and wolf sanctuaries that we had been to). There was only 2 fenced areas that contained wolves, I think we saw 6 wolves total. Price is $15, which goes towards wolf conservation. The tour guide definitely knew what she was talking about, but spoke a little fast. Overall good experience, just a bit underwhelming - but we understand the concept behind the sanctuary.

This is a walking dog style walk with a single wolf 1-2 hours easy trail at winter. Plus watching other wolves in the cages. A little bit expensive but good for one time.
Artem Stasiuk — Google review
This was AMAZING! I can't say enough about how incredible the experience is! Shelley (wolf handler and guide) was really friendly, knowledgeable, and (necessarily) strict at the same time - it cannot be said enough - This Is A Wolf You Are Walking With! Safety is her number one concern for both the humans AND the wolf so rules are enforced without negotiation.
Also remember, this may look like a large dog and you may see him/her acting like a large dog but he/she IS NOT a large dog! Just ask what their teeth can crunch through - Shelley knows!
It is a once in a lifetime experience and if you have any love for animals, this is an experience not to be missed!
The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge is a charming covered timber-frame bridge that spans the Kicking Horse river, making it a popular spot for photographs. It offers easy parking and is open 24 hours a day with no fees. The bridge provides a peaceful setting to take a leisurely walk or sit and enjoy the natural surroundings. It is also flat, bike-friendly, and suitable for young children to explore.
Impressive all wooden pedestrian bridge over beautiful Kicking Horse River with beautiful views of the stunning blue water and surroundings. We enjoyed a nice walk along the river on both banks. Well lit with garbage receptacles and benches all along the river.

The Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge is an architectural masterpiece that effortlessly blends beauty, function, and nature. Spanning the mighty Kicking Horse River, the bridge's striking silhouette stands tall, seemingly suspended in mid-air, connecting two sides of Golden. Its sleek lines and graceful curves evoke a sense of elegance, while its sturdy construction inspires confidence in its safety.

It was extremely difficult to access this bridge via Apple Car Play - the road recommended is under construction and inaccessible to vehicles. We abandoned our car and walked because we could SEE the bridge but couldn't figure out how to drive there. Bridge itself is beautiful and the river is fast moving and looks icy green.

Known as the longest free standing timber frame bridge in Canada. The name tells you the hard work the man placed in for it to be shared and to enjoy. Take a little walk round the two paths and settle down for a drink or bites by the side of the bridge will let you feel the greatness of the area. Recommended place for kids too

In the heart of Golden, B.C. is this gorgeous covered bridge built over Kicking Horse River. This tranquil and friendly town is cozily nestled between the mountain ranges that run North and South of it. The town has plenty of amenities and the locals are very friendly.
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is a scenic vacation spot that offers a variety of activities such as skiing, biking, and hiking trails. It is situated outside the city of Calgary and takes about three hours to reach. The resort has incredible expert terrain with steeps and hike-to powder runs that are loved by powder hounds. Additionally, foodies can enjoy Canada's highest on-mountain restaurant.
Love this place. We don't ski. However, we took the gondola ride twice. The view is beautiful from the top. there is a restaurant on the top but unfortunately, it is close to the public for a wedding. Still, we enjoyed the view. The gondola ride cost half price after 2.30 pm for the rest of the day. It's about a 20min ride on one side where you can watch people ski and maybe be able to see the grizzly bear boo located on the mountain.

Amazing hill with a diversity of runs for everyone from beginner to expert. Lower mountain lifts are family/beginner friendly and have shorter lines. Upper mountain and gondola provide a mix of intermediate to advance/expert runs. A hill worth visiting! If you are there in the spring you may even see Boo the bear!

First class resort.
Many posh Chalet's to rent.
Ski area is made up of mostly expert terrain.
Excellent snow conditions
Mild temperatures, clear skies, calm winds
Friendly and efficient guest services personnel
Friendly and efficient hospitality personnel
Snowmobile rentals and tours
Nordic trails for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. There is a separate lodge.
Gondola services mountain top restaurant. Sight seers are welcome. And there is sight seers passes available at guest services.
Less expensive ski pass options. Half day at 12:30 to 3:30, and a one chair lift pass that gives you access to all of the novice and intermediate terrain.
I was completely blown away by this resort. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our guide was super informative and so nice. she was more than happy to answer all questions and it looks like Boo has an amazing set up here, everyone truly cares about his well-being, he definitely has a great life here. After this, we took the gondola up the mountain and did some hiking, stunning trails, could maybe be better sign posted but we managed. Insane views and all staff were wonderful throughout the resort.

Love this place. If you're traveling with people that don't ski or board this resort allows people to ride to the top of the gondola and enjoy the breath-taking views and enjoy a stop at the dining restaurant at the top. Then the gondola will take you back down. The views while on the gondola are amazing. See things from a view you wouldn't normally see.

I absolutely loved this resort. I came at the end of march which was a bit icy because the sun melts the snow during the day and it freezes at night. Had to wait for a lot of runs to warm up in the sun before they were doable. I will definitely come back next year in January when the snow is prime. Can't wait. Make sure you check out boo the resident bear while you're there!

We got trapped in Golden coming from Banff due to avalanche mitigation further up the pass. We thought it was the perfect opportunity to check out kicking horse! We got the lift ticket that allows you to use the smaller lift only and it was great! We didn’t have to pay for the full pass but still got the opportunity to ski some beautiful terrain! We were also impressed by the friendliness of the staff in the ticket booth as well as all the places in the village. Would love to come back and explore more of the resort! Overall we loved it!

We did the Via Ferrata Ascension tour and it was so fun! Great intro to outdoor climbing if you've never done it before because it's so safe and easy to use the bars and steps here. Lenka was our guide and she was wonderful. Super patient, knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging, especially for those who are initially nervous. She also took wonderful photos for us which was so appreciated. I'd highly recommend doing at least one of the tours but definitely the ascension one! There's a fun suspension bridge, ropes, ladders, vertical climbs and even a tightrope portion. You'll be so glad you did it!

Great resort to stop by for a trip. I went in the summer and they had tons of activities to do. Well maintained and challenging mountain biking trail, hiking trails, grizzly bear, cable car and a via ferrata. I didn’t get a chance to go mountain biking while I was there but I could tell from the cable car that it would have been worth it if I had the time. I did have the chance to do the via ferrata which was fun and provided beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

I had the fortune to photograph a wedding up the mountain at the resort and I was completely blown away. Such an incredible venue with mind-blowing views.

The base simply isn't deep enough yet (Jan 2, 2024), resulting in numerous spots where the snow is brownish. Many of the runs have rocks scattered about. In some places, the tips of pine/spruce trees are scattered almost completely across the run. Unfortunately, they haven't received the snowfall they usually get.
The staff were very polite and helpful!

We got information for hiking and they were friendly and kind towards our children. Good customer service. Just wish they had more stickers! Great place to stop.

This is a great little interpretive/visitor's centre with plenty to see and do. Gorgeous building with some dated, albeit relevant exhibits inside. The theatre was closed when we visited but we took a look inside anyway. Part of the exhibit space was also closed, Theist likely due to Covid-19 and/or staffing. The staff were incredibly friendly and willing to answer questions.
Generous parking, clean washrooms, great rest stop.

Didn't go into the center itself but inquired about hiking with the Parks Canada staff there. Very friendly and helpful. There is a little gift shop as well. The views on a bright sunny day are beautiful.

Such good hosts, such a good place! Clean bathrooms west of the visitors center keep the historic building calm, and the park staff setting up my overnight permit even loaned a phone (so that I could get my ACC hut reservation number)! Definitely stop here, learn about the railroad, take a walk, etc.

We didn't get a chance to check out the museum, but it definitely looked neat from afar. The small gift shop was also cool to look throughout. However, there were not many small souvenirs specifically for Glacier National Park when we went by. Their bathrooms are the best we stopped at, with the clean, themed decor and ambient birds chirping, though!

Great little Visitor Center to pick up some literature about the area and see some history.
Nice assortment of souvenir patches and cards as well.
Bathrooms and plenty of party.
Steve Lewis (From Boise, To) — Google review
Nice place to visit and learn some of the history surrounding the area. Great bathroom facility adjacent. Beautiful views of the mountains. The big issues for me regarding the location is the traffic. No one follows the speed limit and if you are heading east toward Golden, exercise extreme care and attention. Crossing the road could be hazardous to your health.

What an unexpectedly great stop this was. The Center is amazing and full of historical artifacts and lots of great information. The Parks Canada staff were incredible and very friendly. Stunning views from the parking lot too. My only regret is that we could not spend more time here as we arrived only 20 minutes before closing. Stop by and learn about the history of Rogers Pass and the surrounding area!

9520 Trans-Canada Hwy, Rogers Pass, BC V0E 2S0, Canada
Roger's Pass is a renowned mountain pass situated in Glacier National Park, crossing the Selkirk Mountains along Trans Canada Highway Number 1. It boasts an elevation of 1,330 meters and features a visitor center that highlights the region's railway and highway history. This scenic drive is incredibly picturesque, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Rogers Pass serves as a gateway to Yoho National Park and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring the natural beauty of British Columbia in Canada.
This is my quick goto for a hike. Only 1:45 hour(s) away. A few of the favs; Illecillewaet Glacier (bring your crazy carpet), Glacier Crest, Abbott Ridge (Marion Lake), The Hermit basin, Balu Pass, Mt Sir Donald (a scramble, protection necessary). Great memories of watching "Snow Wars" when I was a kid. A few less services available these days; no gas station and no hotel with the restaurant. And sadly they've had the museum closed for nigh on two years now. Attached are recent pics from Balu Pass.

It is located in the heart of Glacier National Park, and is about two hours drive from Revelstoke on the way to Golden, on the Trans-Canada Highway. There are beautiful views of the mountains all around. These mountains are popular for ski mountaineering, camping, hiking and mountain climbing. There is a Visitor Information Center here, which has a good display of stuffed wildlife and information about the history of the Pass. There is a public toilet, but no coffee or snacks shop. It is a calm and scenic place with a good rest area and plenty of parking to stop while driving along the highway.

Very scenic drive through the pass just be aware of sudden weather changes and road conditions due to elevation gain. There are a few Avalanche tunnels as well,and remember no gas station between Revelstoke and Golden
Parks Canada has a great interpretive center at the summit and nice rest area as well

Breath taking views, once the new facilities are completed it'll be even better.
Mount Revelstoke National Park is a picturesque destination featuring wooded hiking paths, rainforest terrain and elevated viewpoints. Despite its smaller size of 260 square kilometers, the park offers diverse and stunning scenery including old-growth rainforests with giant red cedars and pine trees, steep mountains, and an array of plant and animal life. It also boasts one of the few inland temperate rainforests in the world.
Mount Revelstoke National Park is utterly incredible! It truly feels like you are off grid when wandering around the ample forest trails. The rain forest is something you will never forget and worth seeing on your next great adventure!
No matter the time of year, there is so much to do and see. We could go on forever and can't wait to share more with you!

We had to wait for quite a long time to drive up the parkway. It wasn't really a meadow. More of a mountain peak. Still fun to walk around and the trails were all accessible. Would recommend for families.

One of the most beautiful national parks in Canada. Very well maintained with informative maps and guidance posted in the trails and parking lots. Best time to visit is June for the wild flowers.some trails you can't take your dog because of bears. some other trails dogs allowed only on leash. Parking lot is not very big at the end of the road so in busy hours you may not find a spot. Multiple view points are in the road that you can stop and enjoy the view facing the Revelstoke city.

We stayed at snowforest over the May long weekend. This is a relatively new campground and we really enjoyed our stay. Sites are well spaced, bathroom and washing facilities are very modern and clean,wood is available for camp fires (make sure to bring an axe, not just a hatchet), and the trails literally leave from the campground to hike as far as you possibly like. Definitely going to become our regular stay when visiting Revelstoke. Highly recommend booking early for peak times. Limited first-come-first-servecspots available.

We loved the snow forest campground. Best bathrooms and showers of any campground we have been to. It's at the base of the road to thmeadow summit so very convenient. No trailers or dogs allowed at the top.

Amazing views! Beautiful paved road to the top. Viewing sites are just off the road, so very easy access and have picnic tables and /or benches. A must for site seeing, for tourists and locals alike.
Ron Bernhard — Google review
Really amazing fall colours on the entire drive up on the Meadows of the Sky Parkway. The park was closed at the Columbia lookout due to snow at the top. Mt. Revelstoke is one of the smallest park in Canada 260kms. Check out the Nels Nelson Ski Jump, Broken Bridge hike was a short 30mins hike in, Sorensen hike 2km and many more.
Be sure to check out Skunk Cabbage and the Giant Cedar Boardwalk on the drive into Revelstoke. Both short and a sweet walk with photo ops and views.

Always a beautiful place to visit. We were early in the season, so the road was only open half way, but beautiful nonetheless. Can't wait to go back in August when the flowers are in full bloom.
wade mcg — Google review
Don’t waste your time. Road is closed at 14 km away to summit. There is no any notice or sign at the entrance about road close. You will realize you have to walk 14KM to the top after you driving 20mins from the entrance. Maybe June or August will be better.

We did a fantastic half day hike from about 2/3 of the way up to the top of the mountain. I highly recommend not driving all the way up - there are some really beautiful trails and very helpful park staff eager to help anyone with questions. Highly recommend!
Michelle Haddad — Google review
The drive up to the top is spectacular! We did this drive in mid July and the wildflowers lining the road were beautiful. There were many hikes available along the way up, it was not congested with tourists, and parking was available in the middle of the day at the top. There was also a free shuttle up and down for those not able to make the short uphill hike to the summit. I would highly recommend this park and the sky meadow parkway for anyone who would like to enjoy the Canadian Rockies without crowds and with light to no hiking.

We were here September 2017. What a beautiful spot! Definitely take the time and drive to the top and do some hiking! Be careful, we saw a grizzly bear! Place is safe, lots of park rangers around and the beauty of nature here is absolutely remarkable! The hiking is fantastic!

With over 3,121 acres of fall line skiing and North America's most vertical drop, this resort is ideal for skiers looking for an extensive experience. Moreover, families who are comfortable on the hill can enjoy beginner runs as well.
Loved our time spent here. Great fun on the Pipe Coaster - that's a must!! The gondola is a great way of seeing the fabulous views - especially from the top! Lovely restaurant there serving fantastic food. Great place for hiking & mountain biking too. Highly recommend a visit!

This resort is huge and vast. The first time skiing there, I lost my way. It's worth trying the highest elevation and longest run in Canada.this resort is also part of mountain collectives pass that you can get half price discounts from other partner resorts like sunshine or lake louise. It is open until mid April and after that is closed for maintenance and then reopens for mountain biking and trails hiking. The pipe mountain coaster is a unique experience for you and your kids.

We got the play all day pass, you can buy in advance and save 15% my son did the pipe coaster, aerial park and axe throwing. You can pick the number of runs for the coaster. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We went mid-week so not too busy. Spent about 4 hours at the mountain and finished with lunch at the McKenzie Outpost at the top of the mountain, best burgers in Revelstoke.
Alison Beaumont — Google review
We had a fantastic time. Did some hiking, mountain biking and the pipe mountain coaster. We asked for assistance with directions and a patroller named Mike was able to help us. He's super knowledgeable, very friendly and approachable. He even recommended the restaurant at the mountain when we asked if there was anywhere good for lunch. Man was he right. Everything we ordered was delicious! We can't wait to come back again.

Sorry Revelstoke Resort but the Town of Revy is doing all the heavy lifting.
OK so here goes. Will not comment about the snow as we had a heat wave in mid March so that’s all about Mother Nature not playing ball. It’s an awesome ski town. Yes the resort has some nice fall line and some easy to access side country. Now here come the “buts”.
The town is doing all the hard work for the resort. The resort needs to mature a little. Yes the grand plans of old to install lots of new lift that expand the terrain have not happened. “But” there is so much that can be done to improve the vibe of the resort. A simple food truck with some tunes and good food at the bottom or top of Ripper chair would create some options and vibe. Mackenzie Outpost, is on the money, “but” get some more lounge chairs 50% of the people are looking for. Spot to sit, lounge and spend money (take a research trip to a European resort and see how it’s done with simple sun lounges).
Revelation Lodge - For the current owner just remember it’s not a Denny’s, it’s got zero vibe unless you like public school halls.
Oskar Laszczyk — Google review
We spent nearly a week here and it still didn't feel like we ran out of things to do (or beautiful scenery) - very worth the long long drive out from Calgary. Bit too many moghuls by mid-day but they were soft, powder moguls so can't really complain :D

We didn't stay at the resort but visited for the day to ride the downhill trails. Awesome time. Short waits if any for the gondolas on a gorgeous Saturday was a pleasant surprise. One member of our group had a nasty spill and the Patrol staff were professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly.

The terrain is unbelievable!! Definitely geared towards more experienced riders and skiers. For the price, I wouldn’t recommend for first timers since you’ll barely get to explore and experience what the mountain has to offer. For everyone else, it’s a paradise 🙌🏼
Wyld Canuck — Google review
Revelstoke is a gem! The slopes are uncrowded, and the ski runs are nicely groomed. Intermediate skiers can explore easier glades and terrains. This is my first time skiing through glades. Personally, I loved the Back40 near Ripper chair; it was so much fun!
Jie Z (Amy) — Google review
There might not be many lifts but the lifts they have are extremely efficient, and services a huge amount of terrain. There's great tree-skiing for all levels (check out the trees next to the Gnome Zone for beginner-friendly trees). Recommend the Revelation Lodge for food - much more spacious and comfortable than the Mackenzie Outpost. My only beef with the resort is that it's lousy with traverses, and the ski to snowboard ratio is quite high.

I fell in love with this place! The mountain resort is the only or one of the few ones in BC that allow paragliding pilots to use the lifts and take off in the resort. Just amazing! I did my first really long thermal flights there. Amazing views. Not just paragliding, also hiking and many other things can be done here.
I wanted to stay 5 days in Revelstoke and ended up staying almost 4 weeks. I just love this place!

Took my nephew on the mountain coaster, he absolutely loved it. One of the ticket options is 2 rides (there are 2 rails), axe throwing and free gondola up to the top, worth doing for the views. There is a small 15-20 minutes hike at the top as well you can do after having a nice burger & fries. A must do.

We were there on a beautiful, clear day. Gondola was only open part way up the ski hill and most eateries were not open yet (early season hours still). The Pipe Mountain Coaster looks to be a popular, family friendly activity!

The skiing is fantastic but what really sets Revi apart is its people. The team from the base of the mountain to the top of Stoke, Ripper etc are pure quality. Friendly smiles and a lending hand are the norm. I must single out Jordana and her Guest Services team. My group witnessed a situation they had with a challenging guest and they handled it with grace, maturity, respect and professionalism when it was not being reciprocated in the slightest by the guest. They deserve kudos and plaudits for their attitude and actions. Bravo!!!

We had a blast at Revelstoke in February 2024. The weather was unfortunately warm, and snow was minimal but we had a group of 15 and enjoyed the mountain immensely. We stayed in two AirBnb 15 minutes away. Loved the town. Chairlifts and Gondola’s were smooth and efficient, and the mountain was great to explore! We had a medium experienced group of skiers and boarders and were able to enjoy the majority of the mountain.
Look forward to head back in the future to shred the verticals with powder.
Awesome culture on the hill

Great snow at the top, above the main gondola. Lots of powder, fantastic conditions. Black runs are enjoyable. Got my legs pretty exhausted by the end of the day.

Pros and cons. Revelstoke is (normally) famous for great snow and lift-accessible terrain. This year in Canada (2023/2024 ski season), El Nino has been punishing everyone with poor snow conditions. I happened to visit Revelstoke on February 27th, 2024, right after a fresh dump of snow in Revelstoke, which I am grateful for. There were limited stashes of fresh powder to be found at the top... BUT
The new dump of snow, however welcome, was not nearly enough to provide adequate coverage for the middle portion or lower half of the resort; with almost every run closed below the Revelation Gondola, except for The Last Spike. Despite the sparse snow and limited terrain, you will still pay handsomely for the privilege of riding Revelstoke; with one single-day adult ticket coming out to a whopping 187.95 with tax. Yikes. I literally winced when I went to pay.
More positives:
Lunch was delicious. Butter chicken and a drink at the mid-mountain lodge for $27. I enjoyed it! Staff were friendly and helpful as always.
Overall, the cost was too steep. But everyone there made the best of things. It was a good day nonetheless. Plus, they say a bad day skiing is better than a good day in the office.
Sean McIntyre — Google review
If you're looking for a bougie stay to go along with your ski trip, then this resort is for you! This resort is right in front of the gondolas, two outdoor hot tubs, an outdoor heated pool, which are all next to a bar, and their bathroom floors are heated!!
We booked their two bedroom suites and it came with a full blown kitchen. I'm taking a sink, dishwasher, oven, microwave oven, a fridge and refrigerator. There are a few restaurants, bar and cafes at the resort. If that isn't enough for you, the town is a short 10 min drive. There is even a spa place for massages and facials! I recommend booking your messages before you arrive for your trip, otherwise they will be fully booked.
If you book many months in advance and come on a weekday, prices aren't too bad and the ski resort isn't crowded at all. Parking for guests are all indoors in garages. You will need your hotel room card to open the garage doors.

Just returned from Revelstoke and wow, it’s epic! Forget the slushy snow of the Greater Vancouver area. Revelstoke’s champagne powder snow is a dream come true. The slopes are uncrowded, giving you the freedom to carve your path in peace.
Bonus tip: If you have a y2play pass, you can grab two days of free skiing and get a 50% discount on the third day.
Highly recommend for an authentic and exhilarating powdery experience!
The Revelstoke Railway Museum is a historical hub featuring both indoor and outdoor exhibits showcasing vintage train cars, engines, and antiques. The museum houses well-curated railway artifacts that offer great photo opportunities for visitors of all ages. The venue's information boards, displays, and equipment are fantastic in quality. With knowledgeable staff on site, including a curator who is an expert in everything railway-related, the museum provides a great learning experience for adults and children alike.
Thank you for a great visit. Beautiful venue and great location The information boards, the displays, and equipment all fantastic. We met Jim, the curator and he was helpful and super knowledgeable. I have wanted to visit this Railway Museum for years and cant wait to visit again.

This small but feature packed railway museum has both indoor and outdoor carriages to view (the indoor carriage can be walked through). There are multiple exhibits covering the history of the railway in the region but our kids enjoyed watching the model railway the best. Worth a visit if you or your kids enjoy trains.

So neat!! Skiied for a couple days and wanted to see some of the other sights, railway museum did not disappoint. Cool to learn about the history of the town and what brought Canada to be how it is. Also has the sickest and most reasonably priced merch of any museum I’ve been to (maybe not as sick as art gallery merch but cmon it’s a museum about trains, pretty impressive that they have sick merch)

Great Great history. Absolutely love the upstairs asthetic and exhibit. They have very nice railway artifacts and well curated. Good photo opportunities and the staff really knew their stuff. Had the opportunity to meet a couple board of directors who work on site. One restoring the interactive mini train display and the other who seemed to be an expert in absolutely everything. 100000% recommend. Good for adults and children.

Interesting railway museum. My kids liked seeing the trains up close - Staff were very kind. Not too many interactive displays for the kids and you have to pay extra an $2 to try the train simulator. They really enjoyed getting to board one of the indoor trains and exploring the outdoor train yard. Consider it a look and learn museum versus a touch and play one :) Very nice newly renovated accessible washrooms. There is a little gift shop with souvenirs and historical memorabilia but note there is no food to purchase on site. Expect to stay an hour or so.

A lovely little railway museum with friendly staff and reasonable admission fees. The exhibits and trains were interesting.
The train driving simulator was a bit disappointing because it wasn’t operating properly (you basically couldn’t do anything except take the brakes off and honk the horn) but that is just a small part of it.
We’d recommend a trip!

Revelstoke Railway Museum is a perfect spot to visit if you're interested in trains! Full sized steam train and Canadian Pacific passenger car inside the museum, as well as a half SD40 cab simulator that costs $2. The museum is full of smaller exhibits with neat railway related items (clothing, hats, old pocket watches, time tables, etc), and has a decent gift shop with various items like puzzles, shirts/hats, posters, pins, etc. Would recommend visiting!

This is a great place for young and old. So much to see in the Ghost town and Roundhouse. We heard other visitors saying how well they were looked after in the on site hotel. Views to die for and ideal for train spotters as the goods trains and Rocky Mountaineer pass by.
Great views of the mountains and nice cafes in town.
John Howell — Google review
Pretty good place to stop and enjoy some of the history. Decent for kids that love trains as well as adults. Don't orget the outside train yard has more but gets missed. Parking is great and even has chargers for electric vehicles.
Fairy tale–themed buildings & storybook characters abound at this kids' attraction set in the woods.
Brought our 2 and 4yo and parents to the park, and everyone loved it. I had gone quite a few years ago and back then it was in great need of repair and new paint jobs so thankfully since then they've refreshed everything and it was all brightly coloured and everyone had so much fun. Many of the houses adults can get into as well and some have multiple levels.
What you can expect is a fun interactive loop in a lush forest, with fairytale creatures and houses throughout. There are multiple restrooms throughout and there's a spot at the end with picnic tables. It's a great way to tucker the kiddos out! Looking forward to visiting again.

This was a great spot to break our journey and stretch our legs. The sculptures were....interesting. some were cute and some were a little creepy. The nature walk was great...we saw a few salmon. It took us about 30 mins. The sign said it would take 30mins to 1hr 20 mins. The sign did indicate you could do it with a stroller but I would not recommend taking a stroller through

It wouldn’t be an enchanted road trip in Canada without a stop at the Enchanted Forest!
In the months leading up to our trip, we made a list of things we would like to do. Our Canadian guide (my cousin’s wife) knew the route and mentioned many things to do along the way. The Enchanted Forest was one of the things we jotted down. Fast forward to us on the road and driving west; timing ended up working out great for us as we passed by Revelstoke during the afternoon. With that to our advantage, we pulled over to check out The Enchanted Forest.
Going in, I had no idea what to expect. Thoughts of fancy forests with fog and unicorns are what sprang to mind. A forest dedicated to fairy tales is not what I imagined. But that’s what the Enchanted Forest is. One dedicated to all those fairy tales we all hear as kids.
Parking was a bit of a pain as the lot was smaller and we stopped by during the peak tourist season, but we eventually found a place and headed in. Entry was around $12 or so but since it’s been awhile, please check their website for an accurate price. We all paid, grabbed maps and headed in.
As we paid and headed in, I couldn’t think that this was an actual place. It seemed like a fairy tale in of itself. A random forest dedicated to fairy tales and the like. But every step of the way just kept up that initial surprise. Every path and every turn lead to a small set up dedicated to some tale or some folk lore. Some I recognized, some I didn’t. Here and there, you would find poems or excerpts from the origins of what the displays were based on. That helped figure out where and what certain displays were.
Walking around, you can head whichever way you want and spend time with the displays, taking fun photos with most of them. You can’t interact with them for the most part, aside from the ones that are made to be touched. I remember there being a tree house kids could play in. I remember there being a big bunny chair you could sit in. There was a shoe house small kids could explore. The house that Goldilocks commits Breaking and Entering in is now a real place. Even if you aren’t a fan of tales and lore, this place is something to experience just for the sake of it is unique and unlike anything else I’ve experienced in my years of traveling. Also, the forests of Canada are a beauty of their own. You can browse the photos supplied below but you’d really need to see a video of it to get a good feel for the place.
About the only negative I would have to say about this place is that the age/quality of some of the sculptures are lacking. Some have that homemade look, which has a charm of it’s own but at the same time, weren’t crafted the best. Some of the other things looked like they needed a fresh coat of paint or some touch ups. I assume the forest vegetation/biome isn’t the greatest for these kinds of things. With that negative in mind, I am not docking this place for it as I think that it is also part of the charm in a weird way. It’s like you are seeing a labor of someone’s love brought to life.
Kids who grew up reading would love this place. Adults who grew up with these stories would also love this place. It’s like seeing a story adapted in to a movie. Those words and mental images brought to life.

Glad I visited on my own as this place had me feeling nostalgic. It was like seeing all the fairy tales and nursery rhymes from my youth come to life. Definitely worth the drive to get there.
The only downside is there's not much else in the area to do afterward. It's sort of a "stop on the way to" type of destination. Still beautiful and enchanting. There's a ton more to see than the pics I'm sharing

So much better than expected! My husband and I wanted to take my step son here. We watched some videos online so didn’t have high hopes for the walk through the forest but we’re pleasantly surprised. A lot of the buildings you could go into (more for kids but I was small enough that I could go in some too 😂) and then at the end we did the nature walk. I think it took us around 20 minutes and we really liked it. Gave us something fun to do. At the end you can feed the fish and my step son really liked that since they all came up super quick to try and grab the food. Was also quite dead so we picked a good day to go haha.

Did this in pouring rain and I was still completely entertained. The figurines are incredibly cute, witty and well done. There's a ton of stuff to see and the place is huge! We didn't do the nature walk as we were pretty wet. There's also a tree parkour kind of thing that's perfect for kids. Actually everything here was great for kids. Lots of mini houses they could go in and visit.
I don't usually get anything in gift shops but this place totally kept my child at heart alive that I had to encourage them in some other way than just the entrance fee (which is dirt cheap considering all there is to see!). You could easily spend 2-3h here if you have kids that want to visit all the tree houses and play in the humongous playground they have set up for them! Highly highly recommended.

I drove by this place so many times without stopping, and then we decided we had to do it. Words can barely describe how amazing this is. Yes, some things are cheesy. But it's all hand made, and they have a resounding amount of charm.
This is something that photos do no justice to. Bring your family. Stop on your own. Build memories that your family will talk about for years.

Enchanted! It was amazing to see the crazy amount of work that was put in to all the sculptures. A wife and husband bought the land and decided to make it an enchanted forrest walk. Everything is hand made and with great attention to detail. The only thing is it is a little expensive for the 1 hour long walk that only takes that long because of the waits at all the sculptures. Worth the one time through and absolutely beautiful. Kids love the fantasy setting! There was a staff member who was cleaning the dungeon area in the basement that was cleaning the dragon pen, and my child asked if the dragon was real. She said yes, of course, and the bones are of its last meal. My child looked at her with absolute amazement and horror. She then said it's ok, he's already eaten! In that moment, she was brought to a place of magic and whimsy. Beautiful

Great place to spend with family with young kids and adults alike. Brings back the magic and imagination of most of the fairytale characters. They also have a little gift shop there. Bring your own food and drinks.

Super cute place. The kids loved it, and on your way in, you get a bag of fish food you can feed the fish at the end of the trail. They have this sky trek place right next door to them as well. You can zip line and do all kinds of fun stuff.

This place is super cute. All the little kids we passed loved it. We were with older kids and still had a great time. Lots of laughter.

I'd been by this place many times, and it always reminded my of being a kid and being intrigued by these type of roadside tourist attractions. So this time I stopped! There has been a lot of work to capture fairy tail creatures and create a walking museum in a beautiful mountain forest!
Bill Sims — Google review
Must stop! Just as perfectly creepy and wonderful as your hoped. We spent an hour here walking through the forest enjoying the little fairytale setups while on route from Vancouver to Alberta. Best place to stretch your legs. Even big kids will enjoy this pit stop! Popcorn and drinks after we walked the trail was a bonus in the gift shop. The price was decent. Around $34 for the three of us.
Warm, remote hotel offering informal suites with full kitchens, plus hot spring pools.
We stayed in a studio suite. It was clean and cozy. The heater was not too noisy (many hotel heater/ac units keep me awake). I slept great, and had a super relaxing time.
The pools were awesome, we spent most of the time in pool one. Pool 2 was hotter, but I couldn’t last quite as long in it. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning regularly.

We stayed in the new cabin with bunk beds. The cabin is cozy, decorations were beautiful and the kitchen was well equipped. The king side bed was comfortable with lots of pillow. Everything we needed was provided. We had a blast swimming in the warm and hot pools.
There's also a trail behind the resort where you can bike or walk and resort guests can access the beach by the river.
I highly recommend!

If you’re wondering if you should stay at crazy creek you can stop. The place is AMAZING. The campgrounds are so well set up. Beautifully kept. Pools are incredible (especially the cold dip!). The hikes and suspension bridges are so cool. Hang out by the river for a fresh dip. You need to come here!
Tyler Doell — Google review
We spent a couple nights here with our 4 kids. We enjoyed the trails and suspension bridge overlooking the waterfalls, the hot pools were relaxing and we explored the 'ruins' of Taft.
We stayed in an unserviced site as it was budget friendly, unfortunately we were right beside the train. I was glad we only booked 2 nights as no one had a good sleep being woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning. It would be nice to have a map to look at when you are booking to see how close or far from the train you are.
Overall it was a nice place to stay, lots to-do and explore but the location was not great.

Great little outdoorsy gem. Lots of options to choose from for your stay from dog friendly suites, cabins or camping. Pools are great temperature (warmer/ hotter pool) and there is a cold plunge for those who like to partake. Nicely lit up at night as well. There is also a river within walking distance for pets/ kids to play at.

Amazing place! Staff are helpful and very friendly. Rooms are clean and well stocked with everything you need (minus food, obviously) tons of activities for kids and walking distance to an amazing waterfalls. Hot pools were nice and had a beautiful view from the pools. We will definitely be back again!

A great place for kids! We stayed in Suite 7 with two kids (ages 3 & 4) and it was great. Walking distance to the playground and bike track, as well as the pools. The walk to the suspension bridge is short and easy, and the kids enjoyed it... especially since there was ice cream at the end and some play equipment. The kitchen is fairly well stocked but could benefit from a few more items, like a large salad bowl and some oil or cooking spray. A BBQ outside the suite would have been awesome!! All in all though, a great stay. Will visit again.
Anne Stewart — Google review
We had an amazing stay! We realized that any age group could benefit from coming to Crazy creek there is something for everyone. So many things to do besides the pools too like hiking, biking trails, a creek, the suspension bridge, you can stay in a cabin or a tent, or an RV all in the same vicinity.
We stayed in cabin 101 which had an amazing parking spot. The site itself it was big enough to feel privacy. The view out of our bedroom was forest only. Very gorgeous. The cabin is fully air conditioned and has a King master suite and a kids bunk bed room. Full kitchen let us bake cookies, heat up a lasagna and cook bacon for breakfast. The pull out bed in the living room was comfortable. I slept in it when my friend was snoring. 🤪
The most amazing thing is we can go to Crazy Creek any time of year because they have three different warm-hot pools and one cold plunge. Cold mornings love a nice warm pool!!!
I love Crazy creek resort will be coming back!

The place we stayed in was absolutely perfect. We were close to the hot pools and the pools were amazing. The only downsides we experienced are the children splashing my 80-year-old mother in the face and nobody there to encourage children to be thoughtful of the other guests. Secondarily, when we did have issues, you didn’t see it to be anybody that was able to assist the people who were actually staying on the property. If we would’ve had a more significant issue, that could potentially have been a problem.

Terrible and overpriced. The staff were miserable and we're not wearing masks, neither were the customers, obviously nobody was enforcing anything. The women's change room was awful, it was dirty, smelly and busy. The pools had way too many people (max was 30). Water was heavily chlorinated to the point that my friends and I were itchy and our jewelry tarnished, which we now have to get fixed. The water wasn't even close to being hot tub temperatures. No lifeguard or staff outside whatsoever, no enforcement. My friends and I hated everything about this "resort". Nothing like a hot springs, seemed like a tourist trap to me.

Lovely camping area with treed sites that feel private. Full hookups bonus. Lots of playgrounds for the kids. Very nice pool area that is clean and safe with lounge chairs, music.
Only drawback for me was that sites are VERY close to the train tracks and trains run every hour overnight. No whistles though!

Our stay at the Crazy Creek Resort with hot pools was an absolute delight! The serene ambiance, coupled with the soothing hot pools, offered a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The staff was friendly, and the facilities were well-maintained. It was a perfect escape into nature with a touch of luxury. Highly recommend it for a memorable getaway! 🏕️🌿🌞

I stayed in the forest campsite and it was so clean, very easy to navigate to my site, even without the map they gave me. I loved everything about my experience there, the pools are wonderful even in the summer, my grandchildren and I had so much fun and much needed relaxation.
They enjoyed the playground and the waterfalls and suspension bridge and can't wait to go back again. Icecream and a gift shop across the bridge was perfect. My dog was able to get a drink and a cool mist, as she much needed it by that point.
There is nothing I would change about it as they offer all the perfect touches.
Thanks to all the amazing staff as well!

Such a great place !
Amazing customer service and beautiful hot pools. Really nice at night. We also went to their creek and trail and it was so beautiful. The suspension bridge was sooooo nice and a great place to take pictures. The high point of my experience was the 2 lovely ladies at the desk. Super friendly and kind. I forgot my jacket at the pool and the lady called me to tell me my jacket is there! The level of care is next level. They clearly care about their business and like to talk to people. Thank you so much for the great experience 😊 would love to go back there and I recommend everyone to check them out.

So overall this place is absolutely awesome the staff is number one most friendly people they don't have attitude problems they're very very nice it's very hard to find a place like that I had to give the location and the service 4 stars the only reason why they didn't get five is because they didn't have the water hooked up I mean I get it because of the season but its basically summer now. I had to give four stars on the location because even though we camped there inbour trailer and the spot was absolutely awesome the train....... Well that's a different story you will need ear plugs for sure especially if you're a light sleeper because you have a train every 10 minutes maybe every 20 min at night if you're lucky. But all of that doesn't matter when you take into consideration the people that are running the establishment and the service I will definitely be back probably a couple times before the end of summer but I will definitely recommend ear plugs

Iv'e been out here a few times in the last year and I just love this location. My wife and I had Cabin 7 last November and the price was good and included the springs. We've brought out friends and family for dips in the pools and they love it. Clean change rooms and friendly staff that have gone out of their way to help me. Thanks Adam!! Now I went camping on Valentine's day and everything was great but at $55 a night it's high for tent prices. The staff made up for it in there way and we were extremely happy. Oh yeah they also have a pretty cool waterfall you can go check out I highly recommend checking that out also.

After google decided it was a great idea to have us enter the facility on the snow covered FSR and getting stuck, the staff was very quick and efficient to come and help! They gave us great direction of the facilities and were very welcoming. The suite we stayed in was impeccable and very cozy, it was really great having a full kitchen as well. The beautiful view of the snow covered sunny mountains from the bedroom window were whimsical to wake up to. The pools weren’t too busy and they were beautiful to be in day and night especially during the light snow fall and we loved that they had a refreshing plunge pool.
The staff were all very welcoming and friendly and the change rooms were very well maintained.
Thanks crazy creek for the great experience, we will definitely be coming back!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary by staying in a suite at Crazy Creek Hot Pools Resort. The suite was perfect, it was quiet and close enough to the creek so we could walk to it. The cost of going to the hot pools was included in our accommodation rental. This was fantastic because we got to go four times and we could have gone more. Being close to Revelstoke meant we had a wide selection of great restaurants. I highly recommend this weekend getaway.
Karen Fenske — Google review
Very nice clean campground. Hot springs were amazing after a long day! They have 2 sets of showers 1 in the office building which closes when the pools close and 1 on the other side of the resort that is open 24 hrs( 2 toilet stalls and 1 shower stall). The only thing I suggest that they add more shower stalls for each bathroom. Warning, there are trains that run all the time but never heard any horns just their engines, it was fine for us but if you are a light sleeper it might be a problem.

Our cabins were clean, beautiful & had everything we needed. It was great to be so close to the pools. The resort shop was well stocked and reasonable. I forgot my toothbrush and was able to get one easily. It was great to have fountains at the pools to for refilling out waterbottles. Highly recommend and will book again soon to explore more.

We had an AMAZING experience tenting here with our two children (ages 9 months and 2 years old). Beautiful beach in the day use area that drops quickly, so you are going to want life jackets for non-swimmers! A bit chilly, as it is a glacier-fed lake, but great on a hot day. We were here the first week of September and it was lovely.
Large camp sites - big enough for 2 tents or an RV. Picnic table at each site. There is a boat launch and a large stretch of beach that you can also launch from if you don't have a boat trailer.
No cell service, internet, power etc. which is great if you are trying to get away from city life. There is a place to charge medical equipment if necessary - check with the staff.
Wonderful experience. My two-year-old has been asking to go back everyday since we have been home. Bugs weren't bad the first week of September either.

The Okanogan is full of busy beaches, this is worth the extra drive just North of Lumby. Very peaceful and slow. Tins of sand and warm water. Part of the beach gets deep quick... if you snorkel there you will see hundreds of large fish just 15ft from shore. One of the best beaches.

Had a great time camping here at the main campground. The basics - our site was big enough for multiple tents and 2 cars. There are a few pairs of flush toilets in the campground, kept in reasonable condition. The tap water seemed drinkable. There is a marina boat launch near the overflow camping and day use and general store with ice and a few essentials.
The lake - there are multiple beaches and grassy areas. The sand is medium fine, with a few rocks. The water is fairly clean and cold. The scenery is beautiful, it's a massive lake surrounded by mountains. There are logging 4x4 trails all over the mountain, a short hike to Cascade waterfalls, and the Mystic Trail to explore.

A wonderful campground. If I’m not mistaken the campground manager name was Jeff and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel very welcome. The campground is right by the lake and the lake is very calm and a perfect place for stand up paddling. The campgrounds are a perfect size. There is a day use beach and a playground for families with kids. They have wood for fire and washroom have water for washing your hands. One of the best campground I’ve been to in British Colombia.
Thanks again to the wonderful park manager that made our stay more special.

Creamiest ice cream and friendliest cows ever!! Staff were also lovely. I would definitely recommend passing by if you’re in salmon arm, especially if you have kids!

Was nice place to visit quiet and good service.
We bought a large pail of tiger tiger ice-cream sadly is was lacking the licorice in the tiger tiger so that was kind of disappointing for the price i expected better 😕 It appeared on the outside of the container it was mixed in nicely but when we opened it the middle had no licorice. Also we noticed the ice cream wasn't nearly as creamy as it used to be, it was almost more grainy and had a weird texture.
It used to be great years ago not sure if they changed the receipe but more licorice in there would make it great again.

Stopped there because of a recommendation of a friend. Didn’t NOT like the ice cream!! Icy , too sweet, not creamy , the flavours did not impress. Oh ! If you want a plastic spoon it’s 25 cents extra 🤯
But liked their cream and milk we got .

Super busy but worth the wait!
We stopped by for some ice cream and we waited in line for about 5-10 minutes. They have a small truck outside that serves ice cream as well but by the time we realized it, we were already at the front of the line inside. The ice cream was delicious and my only complaint for the Peaches and Cream flavour was that it needed more chunks of peaches. Otherwise, the ice cream was great and the staff were working as fast as possible but maintained great service.
It was great stop and nearby was the fruit market across the street. We’ll definitely return in the future.
Jasmine Fung — Google review
A short lineup on a hot day and we were in. Big selection of ice creams and a cool dairy farm feel to the shop. Service was friendly and the temptation to try a triple cone was strong as I may not pass this way again soon. Tried the chocolate chili, peaches and cream and strawberry shortcake on top. The tastes were good, but lacked the intensity and creaminess in the fruit, and lacked the chocolate taste in the chocolate chili - but the chili really packed a punch, overpowering the chocolate. Three stars for the icecream and an extra star for the shop and staff.
William Szepesi — Google review
Not worth the hype in my opinion.
Grumpy ice cream lady, no tiny spoon samples,
kids ice cream almost same price as one scoop, extra for a cup. Kids liked the sandy play area, but it was so hot the smells were unpleasent, cars zoomed down the road its on almost hitting my kid.
Plus side. Open public bathroom.

The service was good and efficient but the ice cream was not our favourite. We also grabbed a pack of cheese curds and it was ok, again not our favourite. We are driving to Vancouver Island and back and getting ice cream everywhere we can, we will pass on this place next time. There are barns to walk around and look at the different beautiful birds that the kids will love to do.

We came here around 10 am on a week day and we’re able to beat the crowds. By the time we left it was getting pretty crazy though. Despite a lot of reviews saying the ice cream wasn’t very good, the carmel cheesecake was delicious when I tried it and super creamy.
If you leave here without chocolate milk you’re a fool because it’s amazing.
The calves were super cute and really fun to walk around and check out the farm.

Ice cream is reliable, good, but not outstanding in any way. The double dutch chocolate flavour tastes great!
After so many years, it's about time they make it more accessible and easier to navigate, given that there's always heavy traffic and lines to get ice cream.
Otherwise, a great roadside ice cream place with friendly cows, a symbol of Sicamous.
Update: staff is great ❤

Family owned and operated by the DeWitt family since 1978 D Dutchmen Dairy is certainly a destination location! It’s Canada’s first 100% grass fed registered dairy farm, hailed as “BC’s Best Ice Cream” by the Vancouver Sun and it features only old fashioned hand made dairy products. It’s famous, quaint, nostalgic and most importantly all homemade- ice cream, specialty artisan cheeses, milk, plus they have great Dutch imports.
No matter time of year or weather we have to stop here! 🧀🥛🍦🐮 🇳🇱

Restaurant Name: Dutchmen Dairy
Adress: 1321 Maier Rd, Sicamous, BC V0E 2V1
The Dutchmen Dairy produces 62 different flavors of our artisan ice cream on location at D Dutchmen Dairy. Here, 40 of the Flavours are available in 1Litres, 2Litres, and 4Litres tubs.
I had their Turtle Cheesecake of one scoop, and it cost me around 5.25 CAD. They also sell two scoops and three scoops, but to me, it was tough to finish one scoop, and I suggest ordering a single one as the quantity of one scoop is huge. The base of the Turtle cheesecake ice cream is often a thick, rich ice cream that tastes similar to cheesecake. Most of the time, cream, sugar, cream cheese, and sometimes vanilla flavoring are used to make this ice cream base.

GXM — Google review
The ice cream was okay, it wasn't bad, but nothing special. Definitely not worth the detour we took just to visit the shop. The service was very poor, the women who served the ice cream were extremely grumpy and rude, it seemed like they wanted to be literally any place else than their ice cream shop, and they felt the need to make that clear to all the customers. In that sense, I guess it made it more of an authentic Dutch experience ;), It was possible to visit the cows, but I wish i didn't. There were way too many cows standing inside a barn that was way too small. The calves were seprated and locked up in cages so small they could barely turn around.

nice spot to give a quick visit to see the farm animals. It was cool to see cows up-close; including the cattle! There's also a variety of chickens to look at.
Also there's a cute little tractor playground that kids can go to and explore. We didn't actually go inside to buy ice cream but it looked really busy when we came to visit during the summer.

Got three delicious ice creams. what a large amount of ice cream for that price, really great. and yes, as a Dutch person you should visit a company with a Dutch owner
Very hospitable that you can also look around the farm freely
This course is truly exceptional. It is impeccably maintained, even at half the price I paid for Banff Springs. The greens are meticulously groomed, offering excellent speed, and the fairways are equally impressive, with very few divots. In my opinion, it would be challenging to find better courses in the BC and Alberta region.

Newly updated, Jan 16/24...
Pic is current on Jan 16/24. This scab is almost healed after all this time and way less pinching nerve pain now finally. Was brutal at times. Oct 10 saw a crazy freak accident happen when this stupid golf cart tipped over and almost crushed my foot. Only calmness prevailed over any serious injury. I got my left foot out of the way as best I could! I was driving down a slick big incline too slow I figure! Yes too slow! The golf cart skidded and then because I was the only person in the cart, it tipped! I remained calm though and good thing!
I did finish the round as I toughed it out and as we drove all the way to Mara Hills in Sicamous to play the course and even with bleeding through my sock. And pain which lasted until more recently, so it was a very long stretch!
What I did not like was the poor attitude of the pro shop manager at Mara Hills and he could easily be the worst pro shop manager of any course, ever played. I was honest on what happened and showed the cart damage and my hurt foot. He showed such little concern and acted like I was going to sue or something! I have a witness! Then he actually rebutted my Google review to his liking! Showing zero concern or remorse on the accident!
I really think that guy should be replaced. I am just glad my pinching nerve pain finally went away more recently and my doctor did say it would take a long time!
Some ppl out there are just uncaring jerks I figure. I was stoked too to try the course again after many yrs!
Just buyer beware on that guy and the course as it can be dangerous with crazy inclines. I never typically review a course to the bad UNLESS the course itself was not well maintained or something like this happened, as I love golf!
(Newest ankle pic is the far right one so there is very little improvement since Oct 10 but at least very little pinching pain now!)

Been coming here to golf annually for about 13 years- fantastic course that is very well taken care of that gives you a taste of mountain style golf along with some of the best golf views you will ever see for a good price!... Not to mention the clubhouse patio views to boot! I am however sad that the new management from Hyde Mountain to Mara Hills got rid of the beer packs deals to take on the cart... But still a great track

I will not be back! The staff was friendly enough. We ordered an appetizer and we were clear that it was going to be an appetizer but all of the meals came out.
No real apology was offered. I ordered the steak sandwich and the steak was stupidly thin and overdone. I asked for medium rare and the only pink I could find was on my face from being in the sun all day. The fries were hot and the steak was warm at best. There wasn't enough ketchup in the bottle to give the fries any real taste. I could have sent it back I suppose but we all know the story of sending food back while everybody else is eating.
The fellow came by who gave the impression he was a manager and asked how everything was and I looked at him and I gave him the so-so sign and he even said oh, so so and he just carried on with the rest of the table. Then he walked away and said "perfect" which almost made me burst out laughing. I thought, "what about my response led you to believe everything was perfect".
That said, the view is beautiful. But if you want a good view with your meal then you are good to go. Don't expect much and you'll be paying primarily for the view.

Gorgeous course, right on the mountain overlooking the lake. The restaurant is also nice - you can eat there even if you aren't golfing. Very large patio with stunning views of Mara Lake.

Shane Walton — Google review
I reviewed before but it vanished!
I dislike giving 1 stars on reviews.
I was driving down a paved path slowly and carefully on Oct 10 as it was quite the incline and the cart went sideways and cause it was just me in cart and my club set on my side of cart, the cart tipped over and even though I moved my foot in as best I could, my foot, mostly the ankle, got crushed and I was bleeding and through my sock.
I told the pro shop manager and not much compassion shown and showed him my sock and the cart damage. That I didn't like at all...would you? Not any verbal warnings on those dangers and not much signage for when wet out from overnight.
My foot a week later is still bruised and painful and I got lucky! I finally can go see a doctor too but I know just sprained luckily and not broken by luck.
Will I go back...you can answer that for me.

Beautiful course with some challeging holes. Really enjoy playing here. Do wish there was a better system for bevies and food though. You don't pass the clubhouse til the 15th hole, and the Snack Shop wasn't open until 2pm, at which point we had just missed it finishing 13. And, there was no cart girl out. Thank goodness it was not super hot outside.

In April of 2022 I spent 12 days at the Freedom Flight School completing the P1 and P2 courses with my brother.
We had wanted to fly since we were kids, and we finally decided it was time to do it, so we traveled from Montreal and Toronto to Lumby to learn from the best instructors in Canada: Dave, Terry and Jason.
The experience of learning to fly was incredible. We always felt safe with our instructors supporting us on the radio, and we got to see so many beautiful things. My brother flew next to a bald eagle, and I got to see a black bear with her cub walking in the forest down below.
The ground school was also a lot of fun! Our instructors have a million stories to tell, and each one is more interesting than the last. Even waiting for the right conditions at Cooper's Launch was fun. We would look at hawks and how they adjust their wingspan to spot thermals and turbulent air, and also at the clouds. It's crazy how you start looking at nature in new ways when you learn how to fly.
I recommend camping at the Flight Park if you can. It's awesome to live and breathe paragliding while you are there, and they have everything you need: trailers and space for tents, a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, BBQ, kettle, plates, utensils, etc.), an outdoor shower and bathrooms.
My only regret is that I didn't learn how to fly sooner. I don't know why I waited so long to do something that I had always wanted to do. So stop hesitating. You already found the best school ever, so go and learn how to fly! You'll make lots of new friends along the way too :-)

This is the perfect place to start your paragliding journey whether you're looking to go on tandem flights or become a P2 pilot yourself. Dave and Terry are truly exceptional and dedicated instructors. I was also taken by the amazing community of pilots around the park that cheered me on and passed on their priceless wisdom in the sport. For me, it was well worth driving out from Calgary 3 separate times with my tent to complete my P1-P2, very grateful to Dave for making it work with my schedule. The school's main launch, Cooper's, is not only beginner friendly but also an outstanding starting point for XC flying beyond the course. Needless to say, I can't wait to go on my next flying adventure and will be coming back to Freedom Flight Park for years to come.

This place is what dreams are made of.
My brother and I did our P1 and P2 courses at the Freedom Flight School over the course of 12 days in April 2022. Dave, Terry and Jason taught us how to fly. They are incredible pilots and teachers. I didn't have a single dull moment here, even the ground school lessons were fun. I felt completely safe under their supervision.
Camping at the park is also an experience in itself. You are constantly bumping into new faces who are friendly and eager to share their passion for flying. The park also has great facilities: trailers you can rent (or you can just bring your own tent), a fully equipped kitchen in the lounge (BBQ with a burner, fridge, plates. cups, utensils), and an outdoor shower.
After a day packed with fun and learning my brother and I would cook food on the BBQ and go sit by a massive fire pit to hear stories (Dave is an amazing storyteller). On the right nights you can expect to see a sky overflowing with stars and so clear that you will be able to spot satellites with your naked eye. It's magic.
I can't recommend this experience enough. Learning to paraglide is insanely fun. I plan to come back to the park in the future to continue exploring all the flying the area has to offer (I have only scratched the surface!).
If you want to learn to paraglide, you can stop searching for schools now. Contact the Freedom Flight School. They are the best.

I recently spent 2 weeks down in Lumby at Freedom Flight School to obtain my P1 & P2 rating in May. It's hard to imagine a more down to earth, knowledgeable, inclusive and helpful group of people to learn from. From day 1 of getting in touch with the school I was offered the flexibility of working around my own personal schedule rather than having set intake dates which doesn't really work out with the sort of schedule I have with work.
Upon arrival at the flight park I was warmly welcomed by all the patrons who were there (no students at first!). It's a unique setup with a large area for camping and a fully equipped lounge+kitchen that students are guests were able to use. This setup allowed for a nice social environment getting to know locals and other members of the community in an easy way.
Both instructors Dave & Terry were fantastic. In both a technical and personable aspect they excelled at presenting the material they were teaching. Time spent waiting for better weather up on launch was rarely wasted, rather it was spent teaching things like observing birds to gauge thermal conditions, observing nearby weather systems and teaching how they may affect the upcoming flight or simply sharing some of the incredible stories these 2 have experienced throughout their flying career.
The wealth of knowledge shared between the two of them is enormous and is delivered in a matter that made it incredibly easy to pick up on the nuances of something that may not make sense in the beginning. It was clear that rather than just feed you the information required they truly cared about making sure it was understood why they were teaching certain things. In a safety conscious environment like freeflight this really made me feel much more comfortable in my training. The program was delivered in a well thought out matter and took steps to make sure that you were prepared for the next stepping stone along the way each time.
Having completed my P2 rating with the instruction from Dave & Terry I feel very comfortable being a solo pilot and making smart decisions whilst I do so. You can't go wrong learning from Freedom Flight School.

Highly recommended. Completed my P1 and P2 here. A great, progressive course that lets you gradually build up your skills. Dave and the rest of the staff were amazing. Can't say enough about them. The location provides great amenities. Just amazing!

If you’re looking for an exceptional paragliding school or experience, you’ve found what you’re looking for. Dave and Terry are phenomenal and generous instructors, the training terrain at the park is superb, and the atmosphere of the flight lounge is addictive and very supportive. After trying another paragliding school in BC, I was blown away by the level of quality training that Freedom Flight provides, and I’m so pleased with my decision to have completed my P1 and P2 training with them.
They made excellent suggestions for a setup, and I was thrilled to be able to buy everything I need for paragliding at the park. I would HIGHLY recommend their expertise when buying paragliding gear!!
Dave and Terry really care and pay attention to details for all of their students, and safety (alongside tons of fun) is their number one priority. Whether it’s a tandem flight, or learning how to fly, I’m certain you’ll be more than satisfied with your experience at Freedom Flight.

A friend and I learned to paraglide here recently (P1 + P2) and we have nothing but great things to say about Freedom Flight School and the instructors there! We booked 2 weeks of holiday and drove over from the west coast without knowing ANYTHING about paragliding or what we were getting into. We returned pilots, and hooked on flying!
Our instructors were primarily Dave and Terry, and both were excellent. Instructions were always calm, clear, and precise, demonstrating both of their extensive knowledge and expertise. There was an emphasis on understanding the material, rather than just memorization for the purposes of passing the written tests. This is especially important since paragliding can lead to serious injury, and safety was a constant point of discussion. Their goal is to educate you for a long and safe flying career, rather than just pumping out students as fast as possible.
Lessons were well structured and had excellent progressions to build upon skills, ensure you don't get overwhelmed, and have mastered concepts at one level before continuing to the next. We started with ground handling to learn about our paragliding equipment and how to perform a clean forwards launch. Next was the "training hill", which allowed for a few seconds of flight in relative safety, and further refinement of being able to feel the glider and understand how to control it. Then towing, proper flight(!), getting to heights of 600 feet above the large grass landing field. We were equipped with radios and the instructors maintained constant communications to guide us on judging approach and landings. Once that was mastered, we did our first mountain launches! These launches were the first of many in the following days, with additional skills being explained and then experienced under close 1-1 supervision over radio. As we gained experience, the instructors slowly reduced the amount of explicit guidance (unless necessary for safety), so we gained first-hand experience and got better at making our own judgement calls and landings. Nearing to the end, we also got a few lucky days with longer flights and our first experiences riding thermals up and above the mountain launch site!
Before arriving, We were concerned about fully finishing both the P1 and P2 lessons due to the risk of poor flying conditions relatively early in the season (late April). Although we did have some no-fly days, we took advantage of those by doing ground school and writing the mandatory written tests for HPAC certification. We saw a similar situation with the students before us, who had come from even further, and it was very nice to see Dave and Terry work hard on getting them fully finished their 25 high flights. Other reviewers have talked more about the pilot's lounge, so I won't go into more detail other than saying it's an awesome hangout area with everyone being super friendly and encouraging to the students. I learned all sorts of tips and tricks from many different people, giving me lots of additional perspectives and ways to learn.
After getting taught by Freedom Flight School, I feel well prepared for unsupervised flying, understand the risks and dangers, knowing where my limits are, and how to make weather and conditions judgement calls (of course with the caveat that there's still lots more to learn).
PS. If you're not looking to learn to fly quite yet, I'd highly recommend a tandem flight!! We saw a few of those happen while we were learning (joining us on the shuttle up to Coopers launch), and it looked like a great (and safe!) experience!!

Over the course of about 10 days split between the past two summers I worked through my P2 - Novice paragliding pilot qualification with Dave, Terry and the crew at the flight park. The vibe at the flight park is perfect for a summer vacation spent learning a really cool new skill. The facility is very comfortable and hospitable, and the folks around are extremely welcoming for a solo traveller.
The instructors are extremely patient, knowledgeable and safety focussed. Their patience allows people to progress at their own speed and show they're committed to ensuring everyone leaves a safe and competent pilot.
I 100% recommend a tandem flight, intro course or the full meal deal Paragliding/hang gliding student program. It's worth every penny, and you will not be disappointed!
Tom Eagle — Google review
A great school to learn to paraglide. Lessons are flexible, and adaptable around the student's schedule. All flying gear is provided. Great instructors, and a welcoming environment. During the summer, the school's flying site (Cooper's) is flyable nearly every day.
This is also a great place to book a tandem flight and get a taste of paragliding!

Freedom Flight School is the real deal! No fuss no muss, just an awesome experience all around! It was an exhilarating trip that I know my daughters and I will remember for a long time, or until we get to do it again! Our pilots, Dave and Terry made it all look and feel so simple, and safe!! Highly recommend!!!

This past summer I had the privilege of taking the P2 course with the amazing instructors at Freedom Flight School. Instructors Dave and Terry, and the facilities far exceeded my expectations. They were intentional and in depth with their instruction and always had a great story to tell. The equipment provided was modern and well taken care of. At Freedom Flight School they carry several different brands of paragliders and harnesses so I was able to try different ones and find the best wing for my size and skill level. The great thing about the school is that when you’re not flying you can hang out in the pilots lounge, have a bite to eat, take a nap, or connect with all the other pilots spending there summer in Lumby flying in the sky. The launch zone and landing zone are second to none and the views are hard to beat. Thanks again Dave and Terry and I can’t wait to go back soon!!

Since the first time I watched my friend run off the side of a mountain in Australia with a paraglider, I wanted to do it. It took about a decade for me to find the time, money, and courage to take up the sport finally. When I was ready, I researched and contacted many schools across Canada, and Freedom Flight School stood above the rest in terms of reviews, reputation, instructor experience, and cost. Dave Underwood quickly replied to my myriad of questions and was of great help in sorting out my accommodations--I had about a month to attain my P1 and P2 certificates and had my dog with me. The flight park has its own campground with a unique open lounge and hot shower. Dave and Terry were my instructors, and right off the bat, you can tell that they were exceptionally experienced and well-respected amongst all the pilots that hung around the park. They communicated clearly and were professional, patient, and understanding. More importantly, they built up my confidence in the sport, so I feel comfortable leaving the park to fly in new and unfamiliar sites. Dave also brought in another instructor, Jerry, from time to time, who went above and beyond with teaching me about air space regulations (HAGAR). I am extremely delighted that I chose Freedom Flight School to learn paragliding. I don't think there is another school with this amount of support. The flight park also hosted a great community of new and experienced pilots. Pilots across Canada (as well as the US and Europe) flocked to the park during the summer and everyone made sure that the newbies were encouraged, supported, and comfortable. Freedom Flight School has built an amazing community and I can't speak highly enough of it. I would recommend this school to anyone thinking of learning to paraglide. 10/10.

I have tried another school and chose to drive an extra 5 hours to learn here. The location and the instructors, Dave and Terry, make this an exceptional place to learn to fly. The whole community is welcoming and supportive. If you're considering taking up this amazing sport, this is the place to check it out.

I completed my P1 and P2 paraglide training with Freedom Flight School over approximately two weeks in June, and remained for another 2 weeks at the flight park into July to continue to fly and build my skills.
The instructors were all terrific. They not only knew their craft very well - as evidenced by our rapid yet comfortable progression in skill and exercises - but also had great demeanours and sense of humour that made the whole experience a pleasure.
The environment of the school and flight park was equally valuable. On a daily basis, the lounge, camp area, and launches would be frequented by students and returning pilots of every skill level... observing the morning's conditions and forecasts, crafting plans for the day, pooling together for trips to launches, sharing in the joys of flight, and discussing the day's events in the evening over dinner, games or a fire. This immersive environment that Freedom Flight School fosters and operates in, makes it not merely a provider of instruction, but a community and a destination that actively contributes to the development of pilots on an ongoing basis.
I can't imagine having gone anywhere else for my training, and I look forward to returning.

Can't say enough good things about Dave and the Freedom Flight School! Got my P1 and P2 here and what an ideal place to do it. Lumby provides a very safe environment to learn in terms of air stability and landing areas with opportunities to catch some awesome thermals as a learner. The Freedom Flight School is unique in that it's run out of the Freedom Flight Park which is essentially a flight hostel with a warm community of experienced pilots that will take you under their wing. There is camping and a lounge right adjacent to the landing zone. If you decide to camp on site which I would recommend, you'll enjoy the camaraderie of other learners, experienced pilots and Dave. Felt just as much like vacation as flight school, didn't expect to have near this much fun. The instruction was of top quality and I always felt safe. Dave was very in tune with my needs and goals as a learner. I feel well equipped to begin my career as a paraglider pilot!

It really is a fantastic school for learning to fly. I took my paragliding pilot's licence there in September 2023. The instructors are really very dedicated. The flying site is magnificent and above all the take-off and landing are very easy and safe, which is perfect for learning. I highly recommend this school.

SilverStar Mountain Resort is a picturesque destination for skiing and snowboarding, biking, and more. It boasts the 3rd largest ski area in British Columbia and has been voted the Best Ski Resort in the Okanagan for four consecutive years. With runs that cater to all abilities, from green novice to double black diamond, Silverstar is a mountain for everyone.
Super mountain for skiing and boarding. They have a gondola which is a God send on those cold windy days. They also have a 6 person high speed chair which is great when you’re with a large group. The fun doesn’t stop there… there’s a wicked tube park and a skating pond. They have a Zamboni to smooth the ice! World class! There’s an eatery in the village where you don’t need to be vaccinated to buy food. You can even sit down.

Amazing, colourful, family friendly hill with something for everyone! Green runs for beginners, double blacks on the backside, skating on a frozen pond with a island in the middle, tube town with a magic carpet - was just up for Christmas and New Years, what a magical experience with holiday activities in a winter wonderland! It snowed every day! Also loved the frequent shuttle for our little people with little legs.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the customer service policies here. While I understand that refunds due to weather conditions may not be possible, I encountered an entirely different issue that left me extremely disappointed.
After patiently waiting in line for a staggering two hours for the lift to re-open, my party and I were denied access to the lift simply because we were not racers. This information was only communicated to us when we reached the front of the line, leaving us frustrated and confused.
To further compound our disappointment, when we approached the desk to express our concerns, we were informed that this rule had been implemented a mere two minutes after we purchased our day passes. This lack of transparency and the failure to notify us in a timely manner is highly unprofessional.
Despite these circumstances, we were not offered any form of monetary reimbursement for the tickets we had purchased. This lack of compensation for our wasted time and inability to enjoy the park is deeply unsatisfactory.
I strongly urge you to reevaluate your customer service policies. Clear communication and fair treatment of customers should be a priority. It is essential that steps are taken to rectify this situation and ensure that other riders do not encounter similar disappointments in the future.

We camped. But camping is in the ski-hill parking lot. No trees etc.We did have electrical though which was nice. Perfect access to the site with shops restaurant s etc. Full shower access at the gym. And pit privies in the parking lot. We hiked the ski hills...awesome and of light to moderate difficulty.

It was a great day hiking out at silverstar. I loved the electric avenue trail, absolutely stunning foliage despite the views being hindered by smoke. My one criticism would be that the map showed a connection to the cross-mountain trail to get back to the village, but this connection was not clearly marked for hikers. I ended up accidentally taking the service road back down to the chair lift. Would've loved to keep trekking onto a new trail instead of backtracking!

Came here on Friday March 15 2024 when I had a day off work. It was just what I needed. Blue bird day, perfect weather and nice skiing. What I like about Silver Star is the resort has still been able to maintain that family atmosphere vibe. The village has character, and the views at the top of the hill are amazing. Decided to take a tour of the mountain, and Sean was the host for the group I was in. He was knowledgeable, personable, entertaining, and funny. If Silver Star had an employee of the month award, Sean would get my vote. It was an awesome day

One of Canada’s best all-around ski resorts. Features a wide variety of runs for the beginner, intermediate and advanced skier. In addition has access to excellent cross country and snow shoeing trails. On hill accommodation choices offer mostly ski in/ski out options.

Camped up here for the first time this year.
Despite the more "parking lot" style of camping. The camp ground was quiet and peaceful the grounds keepers were always near by to answer questions and of course prime location to get to the lifts.
Ss is always a great time but camping here really brought it up a notch in my books.

One of the best ski resort in BC. We visited here 2-3times a year. Today(Jan 14), only gondola and silver queen chair are open(no discount on lift tickets). In the same weather conditions, Sun Peaks and Big White are fully operating. It is such a waste of money and time. I was here in Dec 2021 with colder temperatures and the mountain was fully open.

Our family has had the privilege of visiting SilverStar Mountain Resort on four separate occasions. Coming here has become cherished family tradition! From the very first moment we arrived, the warmth and brilliance of the staff creating an atmosphere that felt more like coming home than simply a vacation.
The brilliance of SilverStar extends far beyond its picturesque scenery and snowy powder slopes. From the servers who bring warmth to the restaurants to the lift attendants ensuring smooth transitions, and the ski instructors who turn every lesson into a memorable experience, the staff at SilverStar elevates the entire stay to a new level.
For anyone considering a visit, I wholeheartedly recommend making SilverStar your winter destination.

Rustic atmosphere, friendly experience, very tasty wine! We did the wine tasting - well priced, a nice array of 4 wines and 1 port. All excellent! Most wines $19-$25, and a small handful of local fare marmalade’s and cheeses. Cute cottage with a fantastic view. Tasting was relaxed but also rushed (to keep it moving for those waiting outside?) when we needed an extra minute between tastes. Saw a small wedding in progress too!

The R.J. Haney Heritage Village is a great gem of a spot in Salmon Arm. The buildings are either carefully restored or new replicas of historic buildings from the early days of the town’s existence. The Sprig of Heather restaurant is a nice place to eat and has a lovely terrace surrounded by lovingly tended gardens. We very much enjoyed the dinner theatre, and we’re delighted to discover that the actors were also our servers at dinner! It was a lovely evening.

Very interesting place to visit with the whole family. The kids would love it as well as adults. The goat coming to take food is such a cute and interesting thing to watch. 25 cent coins are required to buy food for the goat...keep at least 5-6 25 cent coins because with one coin the food quantity will be very less. All will love this experience. The log barn market is huge with lot of organic stuff. It's worth a visit. We didn't know of this place and stopped by chance on our way and were so pleasantly surprised to visit it.

There are tons of photo ops and the kids will be in heaven. They also have a great little store with gifts, food, and everything a traveler or souvenir shopper is looking for. We had so much fun here and got all kinds of great pictures.

Staff is aloof but the place is great you can make it amazing for yourself. I would give it a five star if my interactions with staff was better I feel like if your white its better as my experience has not changed in the 5 plus years... but my white husband has a better experience with staff...I sure hope that isn't the case. They just seem like they want to hide in the corner and not speak to people. One year there was a nice man with the sausage and sauces tasting. The girl at the till was friendly this time but last year nope. The lady at the ice cream hated life. Atleast my kid begs to stop here so for now food and ambience and and decor and animals is going for you. You just have to get your staff to love their jobs and have fun.

This place is gorgeous! My kids, ages 8 and 6, couldn't get enough of this place. There's a little fruit market, ice cream parlour, hay maze, plenty to explore and you can feed the goats!
My children loved every minute and even begged us to go again tomorrow. I love that I can bring our puppy, explore outside and build memories.

Well this was a unique little pit stop. Funny place to stop by with kids or adults for photo ops with a variety of giant animals, dragons and dinosaurs mixed with live goats. You can grab some ice cream, snacks or quirky gifts or sauces. Mennonite hot dogs too…

Neat place with an interesting assortment of dinosaurs, dragons and animals. The store has a bunch of souvenirs and some food items, the food truck in front looks really tasty too. Worth a stop on your way through.

We have visited here often over the years with the kids and still as adults
Loved it in the past
However now it seems a bit run down and tacky to be honest.
I don’t know maybe because near season end but needs a paint stain job and the gift area is tiny now compared to previous visits and the pop and ice cream we bought was old and not good.
Toilets were nasty too.
They really need to loose the tacky dragons everywhere and go back to the animal theme perhaps but I guess very young kids love it that way.
No fall decor not a single pumpkin in sight
Great scenery and hopefully just a glitch because we usually love it

Cool little place to stop with kids and take a break. Property has lots of cool statues to take pictures with. There are a couple horses and some goats you can feed as well.
Store has some cool items and i really liked it. Very easy to spend some money here.

First time visiting. What a fun place. Saw goats, llamas, bunnies and browsed the Log Barn shop. Bought a bird house and bead trail bead. So much variety of different foods available too. Friendly staff!
Clean bathrooms too.
So many antiques to check out outside and of course the large statues were great for photos.
Would definitely go again!

Super cool little shop. The goat bridge is hilarious and the antique feel.of the rest of the shop is great. Huge selection of treats from giant novelty lollipops to menanite sausages, soft serve ice cream, various syrups, fudge, and on and on. A must see if you're in the area.

Always a favorite stop on road trips. Great gift shop and produce/fruit/local market stop. Delicious fresh BC fruit at good prices.
Love the goats and being able to feed them. Shout out to the two alpacas in with the goats. And that adorable lone sheep who loves the snacks you can buy and feed them. There's an eleborate bridge/ramp jungle gym for the littler goats. You can use the corn bubble gum machine at the bottom and place it in a little cup, a goat uses its mouth on a wheel on the ramp above to activate a pulley and bring the corn treats to them. Super fun to watch.
Lots of fun statues and photo ops.

Let me start this off by saying myself and family have been here multiple times. And we've usually had great experiences. HOWEVER:
I unfortunately had to have my grandma picked up by an ambulance this morning, due to Covid, Kidney problems and diabetes. She couldn't walk. 6 hours later they sent her home without warning. And when I spoke to her, she said she was not given any water, and when she had to use the restroom the nurse asked her "What do you want? Now is not a good time you will have to wait." She was not even given an IV, or anything other than blood sugar. she was Ignored, not given any concern. She is an 80 year old woman with multiple SERIOUS issues Including being positive for Covid. Do BETTER staff. I sent her to you because she was sick enough that I couldn't do anything for her. After this, I could have taken care of her 10x better and I am not even close to medically trained. This is completely unacceptable, and if I had a choice I would not bring her or myself back to this hospital, but unfortunately it is our only option. DO BETTER.

Prefacing to say the paramedics were awesome, however I have had a horrible experience here with everyone else. Called an ambulance due to having extreme flu symptoms and couldn’t stop vomiting. After many hours without being checked on in the hospital, I was approached by a doctor who told me it would pass and to go home. I feel like I’m dying and nobody is taking this seriously

My wife just got home today from a major surgery in salmon arm. I felt I needed to do this report as the whole process was perfect. From coming to the entrance to the pre surgery department to surgery and then recovery room. Everyone and I do mean everyone through the whole process was fantastic. There are just too many people to list. We want to say a special thanks to Dr Janice Journeau for all her help and caring she gave my wife. It was top notch. Best we have ever seen. Also a special thank you to Crystal Baker and Tasha in the surgery recovery room. For their fantastic bed side manor and loving care my wife received. We have never seen such great treatment. Good to see there are still professionals that love their job. Also a big thanks to the nurse (I don’t have her name) that got my wife checked in and ready for surgery. Thank you all so much for helping us through this very stressful situation. I know there are a lot more people to thank but I just don’t have all their names. But they all know who they are.
Thank so much

I came in unable to swallow, and grumpy. However, the nurses in Emergency were overworked, but pleasant. After a "worth the wait"endoscopy, they found I had "Schatzki's ring", which is a kind of hernia around the esophagus. The great general surgery team opened my esophagus up, and I was able to go home - sore throat - but able to swallow again.
I want to thank the very patient Emergency nurses, and apologize for this somewhat grumpy old girl, who is very grateful for their overworked patience.

I have been in emergency and bon wards ard/or wards numerous times over many years and all of the staff have been excellent except two doctors. I was there recently and the place was absolutely full, crazy for staff, but all were pleasant and kind. Salmon Arm hospital has a good reputation o the region.

Took my girlfriend in there because she had troubles breathing and was experiencing chest pains.
One of the staff in admitting were very rude to her and prioritize people who came in after her. The four that came in even stated that they were just going to see there spouse or had an appointment and to service my girlfriend first.
Staff member scowled and said, "she's young she's not important." As everyone in the room could see she was very sick.
This isn't the kind of service I should be expecting with my tax dollars.
I'd say goto Vernon, but they just have the one Doctor who looks at you and just tells you that you're fine. Without doing any test and regardless of time of day.
Kamloops is understaffed, so you'll be waiting for hours. Not sure about Kelowna.

Excellent all-around experience twice now (a CT scan, and then a cyst drained with ultrasound guidance).
I’m sorry to say I can’t recall who did the CT scan (it was in Feb or March) but they, Crystal from ultrasound, and the radiologist (possibly Dr Gardner?) were all supremely comforting and a pleasure to deal with

My autistic daughter was promised an early surgery to accommodate her severe hypoglycaemia. They booked her for 3pm and ignored our many attempts to have her put on a glucose line to keep her from passing out. Nurses are dismissive and rude, telling us to cancel the necessary surgery she has waited years to receive if we don’t want to wait to be tended to. I’m absolutely enraged they would put someone through this when Royal Inland has always taken the condition seriously and never left me or a family member in the dark like this. Shameful care at Shuswap Lake.

Within the past 3 years alone, several of my family members, incl myself, have had to access services and be admitted to the ER and other departments at this local hospital. I can't say enough about the professionalism, patience, caring and compassion shown by all staff and medical personnel we have been in contact with. Life-threatening situations, on-going tests and end-of-life care have all been dealt with in the kindest and most competent and way one could hope for. Especially under the trying and difficult, if not extreme circumstances these people have to work under and not often truly appreciated. I am grateful for each and every one who works at this hospital and wish their service was better compensated and acknowledged by us all. The future might not be as rosy as it once was, so we should be grateful for what we have now. Thank you to all.

The ER staff left me in the dark while I was there. I did not feel safe, nor felt like I was taken seriously. More than 6hrs of violent vomiting, before a wonderful nurse came to my rescue.
Beautiful spot, SO MANY BIRDS! I think we counted over 15 herons😮 water was low for this time of year and the wildlife was loving it. Nice short walk, cool to see the water levels from years past. I can imagine this place would get busy in certain parts of the year.

Really nice place to walk down to the water. There is a little shop at the end. You can see various birds here too. Probably a 10 minute walk back and forth. Water is a bit dirty. There is a dock at the end as well. Careful not to drop your keys or phone through the slots in the boardwalk!

This Canadian beauty is a bit off the highway but very well worth the detour from your trans Canadian drive through the national Park. I'm told in the summer the water is full all the way closer to the main area but even now it's a lot beautiful (fall) with green grass and flowers. Take a walk through the wood bridge towards the jettison and also the park close to the parking area. Bring friends and family or a date. Enjoy the flowers and a sandwich.

This place is free. Therefore I can't really give this a bad review based on that. Plus, I have seen some pretty cool wildlife on this walk so this is a 5 star. Seeing the Osprey catch fish out of the water was a real treat especially if you are a bird watcher or photographer. You will find turtles and fish along with an assortment of birds. Great scenery is included in this package so you may as well give it a try while you are in the area!

It’s a nice walk on a long wharf that is high above the lake. There is lots of room on this wharf and even on a busy day there is lots of space. There is a cafe at the end of the wharf and washroom facilities also. This wharf is part of a nice lake front park area. There are tables at the end of the wharf to sit on.

For Small Town Waterslides we had alot of fun. The lines were short enough that the kids just kept going on the 4 large slides over and over again. The place was clean and well maintained. The water was very cold so not sure how it would be if it was a cold or overcast day.

Fun few hours with grandkids. I think the water slides are getting old, as I had to push myself to get moving on all 4 slides. Note that you have to have cash only for the concession. Change rooms and lockers. Probably best for kids under 12.

Really great experience! Staff friendly, location clean and easy to find.4 slides to choose from and being a person of "size" the speed of those slides can become almost dangerous honestly. The kids seem fine (some need to push themselves along) but if you wiegh a couple of extra pounds just be aware, you'll likely be going very fast and be tossed around turns pretty aggressively. Personally I enjoyed the cooler water, it's a nice change from the nasty lukewarm stuff you find in other pools

The place was a Dive! They close slides down at 5:30! Last half hour they want people cleaning up and leaving no sliding allowed. Turned the sprinklers on at 5:50pm to hurry people up! Soaking small kids and moms trying to gather their things. Staff rude! Lines were 30 minutes waiting just to slide, then staff telling people they are the boss and they must go down the slides they tell them to go down even if you want to choose a different one. Threatening me and my kids! Hopefully some new owners can buy the place and turn it around.

Had a blast with our 2.5 yo son. Slides are kept in good condition. Was great to see a water slide of this style still up and going. Too many have shut down over the years! Staff was friendly, kept order around the park and kept things clean. Water was a great temperature. Lines weren't that long and staff kept an eye on keeping sliders moving at a proper pace. Great little area from young ones that our little guys had so much fun in! A local summer treasure!
Andrew — Google review
It’s okay at best. If your kid is under 10 then great. But over ten only have the four slides to use. The rest has signs everywhere saying ten and under. The stairs are definitely old as you can feel them bend and give under your feet. They only had two kids up to managing all four slides, so it was slow, especially for how slow the park was. I would highly recommend the drive to Vernon as those slides are way better in every way. For the cost and lack of slides we won’t be back. There is also only one tiny little pool to dip in and cool off, which was packed.

Took my Wife and our Granddaughter to this water park in August.The staff were nice... Arcade had one machine that worked? the other 15 were out of order. When climbing stairs to top of slides noticed many rotten banisters. rotten steps as well. when i reached the top i noticed the top landing was slightly swaying.Needs attention asap. Needs some major maintenance , but the slides themselves were fun, the hot tub was just plain gross murky dirty water. and the rest of the park was dirty as well. Needs people doing some kind of cleaning routine, and maintenance program. If they were to do this , could be a great place. Sorry for negative review.Hoping this will get someone motivated to make repairs and changes.

The slides were good and the price of food is affordable. Love that. youcan leave and return with your purchased wrist band. I didn't see anyone on the mini golf and I don't know if it's in use, so maybe some additions to kiddie slides would be cool?
Maria Sampson — Google review
Is a fun waterpark, especially for younger kids. The staff were wonderful, there is lots of room to hang out in the sun, and the park was clean and well-maintained.
Only downside is that the slides don't seem to have enough water, so material doesn't slide down them. You need to push up with your heels and shoulders in order to go, otherwise you'll get stuck.
We enjoyed our time but probably won't go again during peak hours as it costs a lot for a family. Better to wait for the discounted 'end of day' price.

Set in changing locales on an 80-acre farm, this summer theater produces classic & original plays.
I can’t wait to go here again. We took all our staff here for a Christmas outing a few years prior to Covid; the memories are still vivid. The horses are beautiful, the sleigh rides keep you warm, the snow is falling, they have talented actors and pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Magical place for sure. If you have the opportunity don’t pass this up.

We were at the Caravan Farm Theatre for their showing on the night of Dec 26 2021. The temperature was around -20C. The actors were great about doing the show in that weather. The show itself was different due to no sleds being used during the show itself. We did get sleigh rides after the show, presumably to ensure the horses weren't standing out in the cold. Great work all around, but I think I would have been fine had the show been cancelled.

Their Halloween walk was Spooktacular!
This was a brilliant theatrical event with Live actors in costume and character. The barn dance was great fun.
It was freezing cold so they had lovely fire pits to gather around. There were a couple food trucks with the BEST chicken and waffles IN THE WORLD.
The only downside was the huge, slow moving lines for hot pear toddies. The guy in front of me got the last one! And it was painfully cold and a long wait.
But I really appreciate the effort this group went to to give all of us a great Halloween night fright. We all had a wonderful time!

Words can't describe what an amazing performance and production of The Nutcracker this was!! The acting, singing, sets and setting were all just unbelievable and so high level. Flawless. We had no idea what to expect, and ignorantly wondered if it was going to be a kind of community theatre production. It was nothing of the sort and truly felt like we were transported to another world in this setting. I can't recommend this show and production enough!! Happy happy joy joy!! Thank you so much!!

Unbelievably creative production, with horses taking you around to multiple different outdoor sets to give you an engaging story.

Love the Caravan Farm Theatre - truly a memorable experience. There is something magical about riding around on horse drawn wagons in the middle of the forest watching live theatre. Super cool.

I had a massive group of 27 people, so I called a month ahead to plan the trip. They were totally okay with that many people, but as we approached the day, my groupwas dwindling down, and we had 14 people in the end. I communicated this with the people at Adams River Rafting, and thanks to the generosity of the River Rafting crew, they accepted the 14 people without charging us for the 13 missing people. I stick my tongue out to my friends who weren't interested in because everyone that went ended up having so much fun!

Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery has two locations, with the flagship facility in Vernon offering tours of the largest center distillery in Canada. The distillery produces over 30 varieties of gin, vodka, whiskey, and other liquors using 100% locally grown fruits and grains. Visitors can enjoy informative tours showcasing the production process and a tasting experience featuring five different samples. The Kelowna location is known for its killer cocktails and serves as a great spot to enjoy drinks before dinner reservations.
Great little distillery, with a super cool tasting bar, the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The distillery caries all sorts of spirits, whiskey, gin, vodka, liqueurs all from as local as possible sources, oh did I mention an award winning Absinthe! The copper stills themselves are works of art, and the vibe there is welcoming , a must do in Vernon! Update 2022: this local gem, donated the best hand sanitizer to local organizations during the pandemic. They are still up and brewing, check them out!

Long review warning!
My partner and I visited last month while in BC visiting family. I am so glad we came here and it is definitely on my return list! The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and most of all, proud of their product! Inside is absolutely gorgeous, I loved all of the wood work and copper stills.
We tasted several products and were so impressed that we ordered a bunch to bring home with us. Fortunately they ship across Canada and we were able to arrange for our product to be shipped a couple of weeks after we visited so we could be sure that we were home (in Ottawa). Our request was followed perfectly and I received a shipping confirmation on the agreed date. The shipment arrived early and everything was extremely well packed. I absolutely will not hesitate to order from them again in the future.
If you are a fan of Speyside Single Malts, try out the Laird of Fintry Blue Label. I hope to someday win the lottery so I can purchase the Gold Label! Their Evolve Gin is absolutely beautiful and delicious. Aquavit is certainly something to try if you've never had it before. I could see this being something popular with fans of anise, especially if you find absinthe too much to handle. The Aquavit is a very nice compromise.
Can't wait to come back!
Cheers from Ottawa

We had a great time at the Okanagan spirits distillery. The distillery was so cute! Lots of interesting products to look at and buy. We did the farm to flask tour and it was so worth it. The tour was very informative and a really interesting background into the products and how they are made. And for the reason we chose the tour, the tasting. The products were fantastic, I was very impressed with the 5 samples we got to try (Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, Fruit liqueur and an Amaro). I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone, and if we are back in Vernon we would like to go back for the whiskey experience.

Learned so much about trade, distilling, and how to taste vodka properly... And speaking of amazing vodka ... Out of this world.
They also make whiskey, liqueurs, and other spirits. Highly recommended!

An absolute treat. My husband and I have participated in gin and whisky tastings at this wonderful distillery. The local factors intertwined with incredible taste and story behind their plethora of selection of products is astounding. Always exceeding expectations in taste and quality. A superb experience that will continue to be integrated in our future celebratory endeavours.

This is great craft distillery located in Vernon, BC. They offer free tasting at the bar located in the distillery. It's a great way to try before you buy. They will also ship your purchase home for you so that you don't have to take it home on the plane with you. They also offer tours. There staff are very friendly and knowledgeable!! I definitely recommend this place.

So much knowledge. Very fun way to spend a hour learning about how whiskey is made. Where the barrels come from. Very cool ambiance and very good quality liquor. Enjoyed it. Will be back. Paddle pic ( big stir stick). 🤪

Great place to visit and learn about how they distill vodka and gin. We took the tour and found it very informative. Then, the tasting was the second part of our education. Of course we found d a few things we loved and had to take home.
It's a must visit!

Great spirits, back for our second tasting and the bar shelve is filling up with delicious spirits from Okanagan. Friendly knowledgeable staff and very cool tasting room. Next time were booking one of the distillery tour and tasting package. A high recommendation for spirit lovers!!!
So now this has become a regular stop to take our guests and refill the bar, great visit each and every time!!!

This place was really easy to find. The inside looked really nice and clean. Great selection of spirits too! Also sell jam (with alcohol!!), Vodka, gin, and more. What made this place stands out the most is the staff. This one staff, might have been the owner or manager...not sure his position, but he was just spectacular. Really helpful and friendly!! Would definitely recommend people to come here.

This place is amazing! We got a private tour from the owner and learned a lot of things about making Fun, Vodka and Whiskey. Tasting menu is quite elaborate and the store has reasonable prices.
There aren't many places where you can buy alcohol made completely from local ingredients, and this is one of them.
Great place to visit if you are interested in local history and things other than vine.
Lake City Casino is a vibrant establishment that offers exciting table games, poker, and slots to its guests. In addition to gambling, the casino also features live shows and serves savory lunch and dinner buffets. The management has recently introduced several new machines while removing some old favorites, making it necessary for players to bet max in order to be eligible for progressives. However, some customers have expressed disappointment with the tighter machines that offer fewer chances of winning.
Friendly helpful staff. They even gave me a promotional offer for my birthday! A fun place to test your luck and roll them dice

Lots of new machines. Old favorite ones have been taken out. More and more machines forcing people to play max bet to be eligible for the progressives.
Machines seem a lot tighter, which is unfortunate.
It used to be more fun to sit at a machine and play for hours instead of one losing streak after another.
Disappointed for sure.
Played again and actually had some fun today.

We had an awesome experience: dinner & drinks in the pub, then some play time on the slots. The staff were all helpful and friendly. We were surprised they closed at midnight (on a Thursday) as we planned on making a whole night of it! Great casino - check it out if you're in the area!

I attended the casino with my friend on his first night out since being restricted to a wheelchair. Before we even entered the building John promptly got stuck in the doorway, the super kind security guard named Jesse came to our aid immediately and helped John manoeuvre himself out if his Conundrum while making jokes and easing a situation that was humiliating to John.
We ate supper at Match, it was the best Cesar salad I’ve ever had!!
I’m new to playing black Jack and the workers at the table, Greg, Dawn and Keenan ( I hope I said their names correctly) were professional and so helpful.
Drinks were reasonably priced and the waitresses were fast and friendly.
When it was time to call it a night Jesse who was checking in on us all night and joking went above and beyond and helped me load John into the handivan.
Thank you so very much for the successful evening which will be many more in the future because of the service we received…
Thank you again and keep up the great work !!!
Cindy and John

Recently been ok. Hadn't been there in over 10 years, cause 10 years ago I went there with my girlfriend and after 2, yes I was on my second drink, kicked me out. I swore to never go back but had to meet a buddy there 10 years later. It's much better now, as far as I can tell....

I'm not a gambler but wanted to check out the casino. We've eaten here in the past and the food is so good. This time was just to play and well we weren't here very long. Haha. Played my 20.00, enjoyed the atmosphere and left. If you like to play this place is for you.

Very, very hot inside. I understand the weather is hard to deal with right now, but better a bit cool than how warm it is. Otherwise, staff is awesome! Such a nice, relaxing place to spend a few hours.

Only 2 wings in the whole order. Dirty fries were good but skimpy.

This was my first visit to the casino proper (excluding the Match restaurant) in a few years.
It has been 3 weeks since the casino reopened due to covid. Many machines were broken, and we wish there was more space for social distancing purposes when walking through the casino.
Staff was polite and friendly. It was relaxing and calm in there for a late Friday night even with a large crowd.
Plus we won at the slot machines!

We went to pillar lake to go kayaking. Our group included kids as young as 5 years old.
Great kayak lake. While kayaking, we saw turtles resting on logs.
Only caught a couple fish.
Small pullover on side of road near resort.
Not very far from Falkland.

Beautiful little fishing lake with a small boat launch. Hiking up to the pillar was also short but steep, totally worth it!

Small lake, moody fishing but when you hit it, it's great. Kokanee and bows. Cabins look great at the resort.
Randy Yakiwchuk — Google review
It's so beautiful, and the hike to the pillar is short. But it was a bit steep and scary for me on the way down.
As for facilities, there is an outhouse, but being your own TP. And a small parking lot on the other side of the highway from the pillar hike.
Kirstin Morrell — Google review
Beautiful little lake. Well stocked so the fishing is usually decent. I always like going here. And the hiking trail to the pillar is great. Some challenging spots for the beginner.

Hilarious and almost hidden gem around Falkland. We had lots of fun as well as relaxing.

Parked at the day use area not busy and right across the road there is a short but pretty steep climb to see the pillar which was very cool.
