We haven't had the pleasure of staying in their hotel yet bc I work 7 days a week at night, however, I love their food, their bar, and I never have to wait for a cashier, and they have free soda and coffee which is always great. I can't wait for their Indian Taco stand to open when it gets warmer. We travel just over an hour to go there so we love it when that's open! They have lots of slots there is always a lot of choices and their loyalty program is the best of any casino we go to. We really enjoy going there and soon we will be able to take advantage of room rates we get from our loyalty card as soon as I start my new job and have days off. Oh the gift shop has an amazing selection of jewelry and purses for the women who love to shop!

It's okay. Rooms are pretty decent. No bathtub, just shower. I would stay again. It is really hard to spend time on the gaming floor because it is smoking. I would have played longer but the smoke was so bad. I can smell it on my clothes and hair after leaving casino. If I end up back here I would stick to room. No swimming pool. Couldn't smell smoke in room upon entering. Not far from ferry. This place has potential. I would come more often if it was non smoking for sure.

Legitimately rigged.
Had a consistent bet and right before the machine pays what I play the machine shows a locked symbol so I can't do anything and starts rolling what I was betting non stop besides a few. Pretty unbelievable. Only thing worse is NOBODY will come to help.
Edit: finally Paul came and could not help me or connect me with anyone who can.

We went out with two other couples and decided to spend the night here Saturday September 16th and the Sunday September 17th. First of all rooms are decent clean nice but not $297 a night nice that price is absolutely insane but I'm sure that they know they're the only thing out in this area. Check in was fine, folks at the front desk were great no issues with the room whatsoever. The casino floor on a Saturday night just no excitement no pulse nothing the entire night. You didnt hear any Jackpots ringing off here at all and every single live table was either empty or on its way to being empty. The minimums that they put at these tables are ridiculous. You don't have anybody and I mean literally anybody sitting at any table that you have on a Saturday night and you won't lower the table minimum just to get people to come over and sit down? Absolutely insane that they're training a dealer on how to shuffle cards in the middle of a shift on a Saturday night?? I lived in Vegas I know what casino life looks like and this was atrocious and not it. I did not feel lucky I did not feel like I wanted to gamble I didn't feel excited I did not feel like people were having a good time. We went to the diner restaurant the first night and had dinner six of us the girl that waited on us fantastic nothing wrong with her. I'll be honest I was a little surprised at the bill when it came. It definitely seemed a little high but not a big deal but the fact that you slipped in a surcharge for our party at 6 at 20% on our ticket without ever telling us not when we were seated not by the waitress nothing. Nobody ever told us, the fact that we picked up on it was as a line item on the bill so not real happy with that. The next day before we check out we go to have breakfast in the exact same diner like I said food's decent little overpriced, the waitress comes around and ask if we needed a minute we said yes we need a minute we're all talking and drinking our coffee waking up normal stuff people do. She comes back around again 5 minutes later and asked if we were ready two of us said no we needed a little more time, her response was I'll get to you to last and started taking orders instead of doing the right thing and giving us more time like we requested.Tje diner maybe 10% full not busy plenty of table available. Did not like that at all rude rushed couldn't believe it. Ordered the steak and eggs steak not that good very dry cooked the way I asked but very dry, once again pop that 20% surcharge on the bill and the hostess never mentioned that and the waitress never mentioned it and nobody ever mentioned it but did slip it in there again not professional at all. I highly doubt I'm going to take the time to catch the ferry across the water and come back to this place again this is the second time that we've been here and I have to say its very unfortunate, they've could have done a lot better in a lot more areas of this place. We love going to resorts we love to gamble and we love having cocktails and a good night, like I said prior-we lived in Vegas before and we know the casino life and this place seems more like a hit and run then wanting guests to return. I don't think you'll be getting my business here again.

I'm sharing about the restaurant only.
Slow service, our waitress could not remember very simple requests, the food was not extraordinary, and took quite sometime to prepare. Making things worse was, we were 2 out of the 10 people in the restaurant.
Chicken wings were over done, way over done, and their signature sauce tasted like medicine, not delicious. The Lemon cake French toast was dry and haphazardly thrown together.
Overall, not a good experience!

I have visited most of the casinos in Washington State and The Point is by far my favorite for so many reasons! They always have such a great variety of new machines while still maintaining the older ones as well for us who still enjoy them. They offer various restaurants and dining options including delivery of food and/or drinks straight to you where you are gaming using the slot machine menu which I have not seen anywhere else! If it's late and your still hungry the pizza shop inside is open late and is tasty! Though the hotel rooms are affordable, they still have the comfort, amenities and feel of a room that would be much more expensive (don't get me started on the double shower heads!) The staff in the hotel, cashiers, security guards, players club and even the ones that are constantly sanitizing and cleaning the casino are all so kind, friendly, helpful and always willing to stop to chat if you want but also aware of the gamers who love to not be bothered being discreet and respectful as they clean around them.
Now for the MOST important part to most casino patrons. The players clubs perks!! The Point casino by far offers the most and the best benefits to their club members! Free hotel rooms, food vouchers, Freeplay, gift giveaways of quality name brand items are given every week, they also give birthday gifts, ferry fare reimbursement, free shuttles, and so so much more!
Long explanation short I love the point and recommend it through and through to everyone who asks which casino is the best. I win the most here, have the best time and feel comfortable and appreciated as a customer and guest by the staff every single time I'm here.
Thank you to The Point Casino for truly taking care of your players and to everyone working there for always going above and beyond to ensure people are having a good experience to the best of your ability.

Good variety of games. Good payouts. The Players Club has alot of monthly promotions. The resort has very nice rooms and their players club offers monthly promotions and even free rooms. The pool is a great place for the kids & you can reserve the pool area for such things as Birthday Parties.

Room and food was good. Don't play slots. 1500 in 4 hours with no fun. Oh and on a packed Friday night didn't see a single payout. Maybe we will take a free room in the future but better off spending money seeing local area. Area is beautiful. Going to lucky eagle next.

We stayed at the hotel and it was very nice. We were pleasantly surprised. I took off a star because they were difficult to book over the phone and the lady offered to give us a call back but never did. We ended up booking in person.

The Boom Room! The place to be for all the hottest concerts. Every band thats any band stops here for atleast 1 night of fantastic fun, and good .memories. the sound and setup of this venue is perfect for its size and customer base. Price point is on Point!

We lost but was still fun. Not as big as I thought it would be but his games. We only played slots. You can still smoke in this casino and they do have a non smoking section when you first walk in. Would go again. They are open 24 hours to.

This establishment has truly changed a lot over the years. I've only been through this area a few times these past few years. A long time ago, I used to come through a lot more often. If you're ever in their neck of the woods, I'd advise a visit. Friendly, inviting staff, and a beautiful facility. You'd be very hard-pressed to not have a fun time here, as a responsible adult.

The kitchen restaurant took 53 min. To serve us n one couple gave up n left restaurant. Then it doesn't make much sense that they want a 20% gratuity. Then it took 17 min. To figure out the receipt for 4 couples. We were there for breakfast n it wasn't crowded. I will not be going back to a place that makes me pay a gratuity for lousy service. The food was good. The executive chef is unprofessional in his manner. I just feel I've been ripped off when I tip someone it's b/c they have done a good job. Hotel was great...casino agree with others that it was pretty tight.

Arrival and Check-In
- there was no friendly greeting.
- guy at the check-in desk seemed bored and uninterested in helping us; he had several apparent issues using the system and voiced his personal frustrations.
- he discussed a weird way of asking whether we wanted a 4th floor or 3rd floor room, leaving an apparent question with no information to make a decision, and as I began answer, he interrupted me and explained that the rooms closer to the elevators would be closer to the loud music, so if we wanted quieter, the other room would be better and we went with that.
- didn't mention when checkout was.
- overall an unfriendly, uninformative and hapless initial experience with this property.
- he wasn't rude, just unfriendly.
- 2 out of 5
Facility Experience
- we were thoroughly impressed with the physical aspects of the property itself.
- beautiful and quiet. well maintained!
- the rooms were so quiet and dark, we overslept our first morning and we have no complaints about that!
- showers were amazing and had awesome water pressure.
- great shampoos and soaps, really great guys!
- 5 out of 5, full marks here.
Casino Member Desk
- after our late checkout experience, we proceeded to the casino to get new member player's cards.
- the man that helped me was frustrated that my out-of-country driver's license did not scan into the computer, so he was compelled to take manual steps and actually TYPE my name and address into the computer.
- it was such an inconvenience and frustration that he essentially tossed my wife's drivers license over to the other rep at the desk and said, "can you do this one?" -- because he didn't want the hassle of helping two whole customers.
- I mentioned that we came over on the Blackball Coho Ferry at Port Angeles, due to the $35 promo credit on your website.
- He never heard of this ferry, confused and very reluctant to process it. Your website says to show our ferry receipt, but doesn't say what ferry providers are specifically included. It is unclear to me as a customer, and unclear to your staff also. Don't make me have to beg for your promos. Train your staff to know better and feel empowered to handle these situations.
- He did explain how to claim the credit, with one hour of play and at least $1.00 in play, it should just show up. I never saw a $35 credit. I did see the $5 credit as a new member.
- In conclusion the player's member experience was lackluster, frustrating and unfriendly. Plus, the ferry promo credits were not delivered.
- Not impressed.
- 0 out of 5
Casino
- The SMOKING section should be accessed BEYOND the non-smoking section. Because, otherwise, what's the freaking point? It's not 1990. As non-smokers, we did not appreciate being forced to trapse through the full smoke filled casino to get "non-smoking" sections. Both restaurants have a strong dose of smoke!
- Your casino was wound up so tight after several hours in several sessions, I had dropped about $1300 and maybe had 3 bonuses.
- Many of the games do not have progressive jackpots, and the ones that did, I see that the bottom two tiers always reset to fixed dollar amounts (ie $20 and $50). These sneaky tricks reduce the payout odds and stack the deck in the house's favor. It's pathetic because the spin payouts did not seem generous enough to outweigh the lost payback that those jackpots would earn the player.
- I can accept that my experience isn't everyone's, but I felt that the slots were way tighter than Vegas.
- Staff didn't seem happy, nor super friendly, and in cases seemingly unapproachable. A common trend at this property.
- 1 out of 5
Overall
- Main impression is that management doesn't care about ensuring the staff are well taken care of. Because of that your staff don't take of the customer.
- Fix the smoking problems. Yuk.
- It's clear that by not taking my phone number or email address when registering for your membership, you have no interest in developing a relationship with your guests.
- Overall 2 out of 5. We will not be back and do not recommend.

The rooms are beautiful, modern and clean. We stayed on the top floor close to the entrance and it was very quiet. The beds are comfortable making sleeping easy. We will definitely stay there again. The only drawback is the distance between the parking lot and the entrance.

This place was supper fun I didn’t win any big Jackpots but was able to have a few hours of fun winning a couple hundred here and there unlike the fast suck you dry Emerald casino cant even really stay long enough to be offered a drink before you run out of money there there machines rarely even match the bet placed let alone more then the bet placed

This is my go to casino as it's the closest to my home but it is still quite a trek for me to make. I loved the Point back before they built the current building and hotel. The staff was much friendlier and the jackpots seem to hit much more often. The players club reward program used to be unmatched as far as the benefits that you would receive. Now that the hotel and new building are complete the players club benefits have ridiculous play requirements to attain even the easiest of benefits to give back. You can't even rely on a food voucher anymore for regular basic level club members without having to spend a small fortune. Sad.

I’m not one to write reviews at all but my buddies and I came across the ferry on our bikes because we had heard good things about the point casino. We got there walked around and grabbed some drinks. Seems like a super cool environment. Decent prices on drinks, although one side of the bar the drinks were $3 and on the other side the exact same ones were $6. Not sure what was going on there. Walked around the casino only to find it was mainly slots. They had 6Ish different table games but only one blackjack table. Which was packed the whole time while all the others were empty. The dealer we sat down with was cool however, within the first few hands my friend got blackjack while the dealer was showing a 10. He paid my buddy out before checking his own hand in which he had blackjack. The casino manager came and took his money back. Simple mistake no big deal right. That is until I go over to roulette and place a large bet on red odd. I get paid out and then on the next spin the manager comes and says she overpaid me and takes the chips back. Then back onto the blackjack table where two more times I was overpaid on the side bets (without realizing), and several hands later they came up to me and took back their chips. Absolutely ridiculous, they need to train their staff, and if they overpay on stuff, need to count it as a loss to their casino. This also happened to several of my other buddies on different games. They really need to get this in check. They were also hand shuffling the cars the entire time in blackjack, and one dealer told me the shuffling machine was broken and the next one said that’s not true and the casino doesn’t have enough cards. This made me feel that I was getting scammed the entire time as I put hundreds down throughout the night on the same deck of cards that they never swapped out and seemed to also never get higher cards than the dealer. Super scammy casino and SERIOUSLY wouldn’t recommend the point casino and hotel to anyone looking for a good casino.

The Point recently renovated their hotel rooms and they are really nice. I love the newer bathrooms. The casino is pretty nice, it’s not a huge casino but there’s plenty of space and slot machines. There’s one thing about the casino that could really use some attention, the water from the sinks in the public bathrooms… it is always freezing cold water. No matter how long you try to let it run, it is ice cold. 🥶 It seems like that discourages people from washing their hands. I know it makes it really hard to wash my own hands, because it’s so cold it hurts. I’ve witnessed people just give up on washing because the water doesn’t ever warm up, not even a little bit. I go there frequently so I know it’s not just a one off situation. They are just always like that. Please turn on the hot water.

I’m only sharing about our experience at the casino! I haven’t stayed in the hotel yet. It was my first time visiting and playing at this casino and I had nothing but a 10/10 experience. We first walked in this morning and the ladies at the front desk were so kind and helpful and gave us dining credits! I loved the overall hospitality and friendliness. We also ended up winning a little bit which was nice ;$) we had just stopped in for a little day trip from Seattle. I will definitely be coming back!!

It was the first time my husband and I stayed here. The hotel was better than we expected with good amenities and a very nice layout.
The casino ruined it all. We were losing which we are ok with, it happens more often than not in casinos. But when we ordered more drinks we were told we were reported as being BELIGERANT and were not to be served.
I don't care about being cut off, even though we only had like 4 drinks and were no where close to being intoxicated. AND we were staying at the hotel so we were looking forward to having fun and staying here. My problem is being called belligerent. I have never in my whole life been that. I asked to talk to a manager and when he came I asked if we could see the video footage of what necessitated this determination. He said no footage is available for us to review. I suggested he review it and use it to retrain his staff. Thanks to this insulting misunderstanding they are losing good customers; we will never return.

Went to The Point for their all you can eat fresh Dungeness crab dinner tonight.
I even called ahead to ask if the crab was fresh. Was assured yes. Ok. I'm in! Well, it was terrible! First off take a look at the picture. The crab meat was brown, not white. It tasted like it was boiled in a weak Cajun flavored broth. Why? Fresh crab is white, juicy, sweet. It should taste like the Puget Sound, sweet and salty. Mother Nature created the most perfect flavor for crab. Why override nature's gift with excessive seasoning? What were you thinking? On an up note, the asparagus served with it was perfect. Soft with a little resistance
And lovely multi colored baby potatoes
Again, cooked perfectly. Both were better than the crab. Not worth the $40 bucks.

Deception Pass State Park covers 4,134 acres of ancient forest and features saltwater shores, freshwater lakes, camping facilities, and an extensive 38-mile trail system. Visitors can join a guided tour near the park to paddle to nearby coves and observe abundant wildlife such as birds, seals, and porpoises. The area experiences strong tidal currents and changing sea conditions due to wind and tide direction.
Beautiful beach.
Awesome place to camp! The sites are privates and a good size. From the campground you have access to the beach, the lake and the trails all the way to the bridge and eve a little further, where you get a nice view from the top of the hill.
The lake is one of my kids favorite activity to do during the summer. The water is nice and warm, there's a good sand area to build castle and picnic tables to snack.
The trails are easy to intermediate it's not enough path to walk the whole day but It's definitely enough to keep the family busy for a few hours (2-3 with young children).
That bridge is one of the most amazing places to be to catch the sunrise!!! 🤩

Deception Pass is by far one of my all time favorite destinations. Whether it be visiting the beach, exploring hiking trails, or just enjoying the breathtaking views, you can't ever grow tired of it. Its a one of a kind and perfect spot for photographers to snap some crazy cool photos. A great place to visit with family and friends and an even better place to go when you just need to escape everything and everyone. Im so grateful and lucky I have the privilege to live in a place like this.

Deception Pass State Park is a stunning destination that spans a strait and a few islands. Come here for incredible views of Skagit Bay and the Salish Sea from the Canoe Pass Bridge. At Rosario Head, make sure to stop by the tide pools to see colorful birds and an array of marine life. If you're looking for a place to stay, camping by Bowman Bay is an excellent option. You can even enjoy a cozy bonfire at night. In the morning, go for a hike on the park's scenic trails along deep-blue lakes and amid the lush forest.

I LOVE this place! My family and I came here in New Year's Day (2022) and we loved it. There was still plenty of snow on the ground and it was beautiful. While the park was closed that day (there was an emergency closure per the sign at the front of the entrance) we were able to park outside the entrance and walk to the dock area. Then we drove over to the overlook where the bridge is and we walked down by the beach area. It was beautiful and will definitely come back another time of the year.

This is a gorgeous spot. I arrived early in the morning, and while the bridge was very active, the beaches were peaceful and calming. There’s some trails but I only walked from the beach up to the bridge. The views are amazing but it’s nerve-racking if you don’t like heights. If I had more time, I would have done a kayak tour because the water and mountains were stunning.
Parking was easily available early morning but got somewhat full by 11:00 (on a weekday). Be aware that Discovery Pass is required to park.

There are so many beautiful sites to see. We had a huge campsite. There are several restrooms throughout the campground, and they have showers. The camp hosts do a great job of keeping everything clean and are super friendly. The entire site was quiet at night and in the morning. The beach was a 5 minute walk from our campsite. We could hear the waves at night. Super relaxing. 5 star campground!!

This place is the most impressive bridge and most magnificent beauty u can imagine and shouldn't be missed. I've been here multiple times over the years and never tire of the view! It's always windy on the bridge and down on the beach it's warm after the sun moves overhead so it's best to go down there after noon. Parking is limited between Deception Pass and Canoe Pass but there's plenty of street parking along the rd before approaching the 1st bridge and also after the big bridge (in an actual lot)
Pics don't even express how amazing it looks in person!

Deception Pass, beautiful, swirling waters below. Is that the Deception? Saw sea lions or seals below. There is a trail from upper parking and goes down to the beach below or you can drive down if you are unable to go down a decent grade. Trail is well traveled. Picnic tables, bathrooms. You can walk across bridge, however, we had a 2 year old and it was nerve racking with the amount of traffic and we were on a cool November day. So we only ventured far enough to get a couple of pics. Hiked down to the beach and then walked to the 2nd one. Very clean and we were only ones there.

This was my first time going to this park. It was such a blast. Took less than a mile to get to the water. The hike down wasn’t too bad and lots to view on way down. Going back up is a bit steep. Once at bottom the beach is so beautiful. Can see eagles, pigeons, birds. Then the beautiful bridge you cross over to get too. The beach area is pretty small. I’m sure in the summer it’s more. Lots of drift wood, shells, sea life, just a beautiful peaceful place to see.

Beautiful place with a small beach front 🏖️
It is actually way larger than what you see in pictures. Scenic views and just soothing 🕊️
You need to get a day pass which costs $10.
Tip: To skip long lines get your pass from a ticketing machine on a parking lot next to bridge.

This park is a jewel of Washington. There is room to stretch your legs. There are paths to walk. Whether you decide to walk over the bridge or under the bridge. You can enjoy your walk on either side.
The view from the bridge is astounding, and although it is next to a major traffic thoroughfare, it doesn't detract from the experience.

Breathtaking! Me and my boyfriend has a lovely lunch stop here on our way back to Seattle. We found a little trail from the bridge that led us to a spot with a view of the distant mountains. We could see tons of deals coming up for air and playing in the water. We also saw 2 bald eagles. It was a magical place.

Beautiful day, we tried some new trails, for us, up to Goose rock. Walked north and west beaches. I am not sure why they have it closed still. Half the parking spots are in good shape. They just need to have everyone take a piece of driftwood when they visit, and it will be cleaned up in no time.

Whether you live in the area or are driving through stop and take in the beauty of this state park. The parking situation can be tricky so plan accordingly and also make sure you buy a day pass but I would recommend getting the yearly pass as it’s more worth your money. The bridge is beauty crafted above a heavy current body of water. The view is stunning and a sunny day there’s beaches and hikes all around the area. Can easily make a full day out of it here.

⚠️ You will need a Discover Pass to park or pay a fee, so have cash on you if you don't have a Discover Pass or risk getting a ticket.
This is one of my go to location anytime I have any friends or family come to visit me in the area. It's worth the trip just for the views and pictures, but we usually also go on the super light and easy Hikes.
If your coming from the Seattle area and you want more of a beautiful scenic view the whole way to the pass, take the ferry onto Whidbey Island ⛴️ that's almost it's own experience and really cool for most people who have never been on one.
But if you're on a bit of a time crunch for some reason, taking the i5 route is usually MUCH faster.
Do note that if you're going on a weekend, especially if it's a beautiful day, you're not the only one who is thinking of going here. The parking situation can be a pain. There are restrooms here also, and any time I've gone, they are not absolutely disgusting like most public restrooms they are decently well kept.

I've lived in the area all my life and yet experience something new each time we visit the park. We walked the trail from East to West Cranberry Lake with our grandson. We saw goslings, a huge eagle, and lots of birds. Picnic areas were clean well kept..

This is my favorite place to be! It's a very large park that can, and typically does, get busy but is well worth a stop. The park is huge and offers so much, the parks website has a lot of information. My favorites are the beaches, camping and wildlife. Did I mention the park is big? I'm lucky to live nearby so my visits can be frequent to relax and reset. Lots of picture opportunities. I wish I could figure out how to load video's on my reviews.

Deception Pass State Park in Washington offers stunning views of the coastline, cliffs, and forests, making it a nature lover's paradise. Activities like hiking, kayaking, and picnicking provide something for everyone, complemented by the park's rich history and wildlife. However, some visitors, like myself, may find it slightly overrated, especially if traveling from Seattle. Additionally, be prepared for the need for a park pass for parking.
Moran State Park is a vast nature reserve spanning over 5,000 acres of undulating forest terrain and five interconnected lakes. The park boasts scenic hiking trails, camping grounds, and an observation tower that provides panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Visitors can also enjoy the sights and sounds of a beautiful waterfall amidst the lush greenery of dense forests that are nourished by frequent rainwater.
Really cool area to camp, hike, bike and spend some time in the wilderness. I really enjoyed getting up to the top of Mount Constitution and biking back down. Definitely worth a visit!

Such beautiful trails for walking, running, riding. Most are heavily shaded, so well suited for summer.
We were delighted to see no trash on the 15 miles we walked. Walking among trees >100 years old puts your life issues in a bit of perspective.
Trails are well marked and of varying ability level. The various falls are close enough together to take them in on a single hike. None are tall; all have their charm.
The lakes are marvelously clear and inviting.
The view on top is panoramic. The location offers plenty of rocks and a few picnic benches for lunch or snacks.

Went to Orcas for the day with the wife and 9 yr old daughter and ended up in Moran State Park. Did the Cascade Lake Loop, absolutely gorgeous and perfect hike for the kiddo, just under 3 miles, not much elevation and beautiful views of the lake almost all the way around.

The jewel of Moran State Park is a trip up to Mount Constitution. The midpoint and the top give way to beautiful scenic views of the U.S. Cascade and Olympic Mountains, and the Canadian Cascade Mountains by looking to the NW. On clear days Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainer make an appearance. Looking down at the San Juan Islands in a stunning patchwork of green variegated by blue water that makes up the Straight of Juan de Fuca leading to Pacific Ocean. The park has hiking at every turn and Cascade Lake is a great place to lounge during all seasons. The surrounding camping area is close to the lake and offers a variety of camp sites for a fee.

We love going to this place to camp. The people there are wonderful the campgrounds are always clean.
Is the fishing at cascade lake was out of this world. But watch out for the otters and the eagles.
When you catch your fish they love to eat them before you can

Outstanding campground. Calm place with high and big trees. Enjoyable hike to waterfalls and around lake. Warm water in a lake, kids enjoyed several days of sweeming. Booking a bit tough and should be done upfront especially ferry reservation is tough and their site usually keeps failing with slow performance.

Beautiful little waterfall. So relaxing sitting in the shade and listening to the water come down the fall. The smells are terrific in the middle of dense Forrest that is constantly soaked with fresh rainwater.

This is a great park. Lots of camping spots available. Really good if you are tenting since they have water, washrooms and coin showers.
Most of the spots are near the lake, which is very a swimmable. Park is overall pretty quiet so nice if you want to get away.
The park rangers routinely drive through so I’d say it’s pretty safe as well. They will enforce the rules but are overall pretty nice about it if you’re nice with them.
Each campsite has a bench and a fire pit. You’re not allowed to burn branches from the forest, but you can purchase wood for an easy fire.

Excellent lake area on Orcas island for leisure and water activities including kayaking, paddle boarding and paddle boat for rent. Enjoy the tranquility and fun at same time. Watching bald eagle flying and diving for fishes sometimes. Recommended for family outing and vacation spot in this State Park anytime of the year.

Love this place. Have visited many times and camped several. A variety of hikes both in terms of difficulty and experience. By the latter I mean a short small valley trail, around the lake loop trails, and up the mountain through forest with vistas from thousands of feet up. And a little "castle" too. The last 3 night trip I got in two hikes. paddled my yak and swam in 2 different awesome little lakes. At night, a 10 min walk to the lake shore to view the moonlight on the lake. Winner.
Also, the dork in me loves the rare firewood vending machine. Great to help the effort of not transporting firewood between eco systems and just cool at the use of tech. Yes, I feed it my credit card and a bundle of wood comes rolling down the shoot.
Campsites are a little small and can be kind of close together though it varies across the 3 campgrounds. You have to ask yourself if you are there for remotness and privacy (no) or easy access / close probity to one of the lakes. 4 sure. bathrooms were clean and stocked.

I really liked State Park camping. My campsite was facing to the lake. Closer to lake shore beach. I did a lot of hiking in the morning then SUP board paddling in the afternoon. 10mins drive to small downtown. Restroom was clean.
Tomoko Nakajima — Google review
One of my favorite parks to visit and camp in. Lots of recreation options, with multiple trails of various lengths, waterfalls, lakes, viewing tower on top of Mt. Constitution, and lots of campsites. For a kid-friendly hike, try the Cascade Falls trail or the Mountain Lake trail. Most campsites are spacious with decent privacy, plus lake views from many. My only complaint is the showers; as with nearly every Washington State Park, the money box says 50cents for 3 minutes, but it never actually lasts 3 minutes. The middle campground showers were timed at 2 minutes, 38 seconds. WA Parks needs to adjust their timers or change the wording to make it accurate.

Thick wooded area with small, tight campsites on the hillside (mid-camp). Quiet at night. Trail around Cascade Lake is nice. Don’t forget the east side trail is up above the roadway!
The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, located in a restored hangar, features an impressive collection of military aircraft and weapons from the years 1935 to 1945. The museum boasts top-notch facilities and showcases vintage aeroplanes in excellent condition. Its staff are highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the exhibits on display. It is undoubtedly one of the world's premier collections of significant military equipment, providing a vital legacy for future generations to appreciate.
My favorite aviation museum in the whole world! I met a docent named Arthur Unruh there, who was the most friendly and inspiring man I have ever met! It's just so powerful to see these WW2 planes up and close and personal! Not to mention also getting to see them fly in the air for free! This place is like a second home to me 😌

If you have the chance to visit this museum, I highly recommend it. took my family to the fly days and other events (Wine night and Tanktober-fest). I live down the road from this place and took it for granted, then the pandemic hit and closed it for 3 years. Then with new ownership, I thought this impressive collection was lost to the area. But it remains for the time being. Visit and appreciate the awesome collection. Hopefully they continue to do demonstrations whether it's the tanks or planes.

As a huge Battlefield and World War II fan, I couldn't believe I could get up close and personal with all my favorite WWII vehicles somewhere on Earth. I only planned a 2-hour visit to this museum, but I was so wrong. You could easily spend a whole day here. What's even more amazing is that all the vehicles here are actually operational.
You guys are doing a fantastic job!

This place is absolutely awesome the facilities are five-star and the quality of the vintage aeroplanes is the best I have ever seen in the whole world. They have pretty much every single significant military aircraft and weapon on display in pristine condition. The staff are incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable not to mention enthusiastic about the place. What a legacy to leave behind for the general public.

I went to the grand reopening of this amazing museum. You get to wander 3 hangars of pure wonder and history. I had an amazing day returning after 3 long years away, they have three opportunities to watch demonstrations of their tanks. I highly recommend going here to support them!

Great museum with some planes that are the last of their kind. Most of the planes and tanks are fully operational. I was told that in the past, and hopefully in the future, some of these planes and tanks are flown/driven in demonstrations on holidays, including firing the tanks (with blanks). There is an interactive educational section as well. The docents were friendly and helpful with a decent amount of knowledge.

Definitely a must visit place if you are looking for historical artifacts around WWII. Beautifully preserved and restored armored tanks and airplanes from the Wars. The best part though are the volunteers who work as guides here. All of them have some family involvement with the heritage and their level of knowledge is impressive.
Couple this trip with the Boeing - Flight of Future (right around the corner) and you have a fantastic field day lined up for family and friends.

What an amazing day. I was expecting a couple of hangers with a few restored war birds. Boy, was I wrong! They actually have more ground vehicles than aircraft now (mostly tanks), but this takes nothing from the aviation and historical information. The theater, and interactive history of war (touch screens, audio-visual presentations, etc) is amazingly well done, and the pictorial timelines meticulously laid out on the walls are visually stimulating and educational. I was surprised at some of the artifacts that were on display, but you should just see for yourself!
The highlights of my visit were the stories behind some of the aircraft and the associated people, as shared by Rick. His passion for the history of both the aircraft and the museum made for a very special day. I got to learn a lot about the back stories of the aircraft, as well as the people associated with them. I will definitely be making the trip back to be there for an upcoming flight day! Thanks again to Rick for the outstanding tour!!
Scott Long — Google review
The best collection of WW II warbirds that I've seen since Planes of Fame in Chino. Meticulously restored, airworthy historical planes. The ground combat vehicles were nice to see, but I came to see the planes. Only gripe is having to endure inappropriately loud visitors that pushed me aside & talked about things unrelated to the museum.
Steven R. Colson — Google review
Wow what a great way to spend a few hours. It's a great mix of planes--a mind-blowing number of which still fly--and vehicles. The displays are well-described on plaques and banners. And there are several roving volunteers to answer questions. We had great conversations with David who knew his stuff and was the friendliest guy we met all week. Highly recommended. Be sure to look through the fence at the new green Boeings and the military ramp.

Amazing museum. The planes are well preserved and the majority in flight condition. There is one Junkers Stuka in restoration being exhibited. In the entrance, you can see an amazing B-25. In front of it, there is an English de Havilland Mosquito bomber. All aircraft are well preserved. The nice thing about this museum is that the voluntary guides are crazy about airplanes (like me). It totally worth spending the day visiting and talking with the guides.

Awesome place to visit to teach the family about military equipment. Great learning experience for anyone interested in mechanics and aviation. WWII is the main inventory. They do have some stuff predating WWII and other vehicles from Vietnam. Very good variety of armor and planes. They even have a working me262! It's worth the price of admission. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The gift shop has a lot of variety. They will hopefully start doing live demonstrations soon.
The Boeing Future of Flight museum is dedicated to the history and future of aviation. Visitors can explore exhibits covering the history of aviation as well as tours of the commercial jet assembly plant. The museum also has a few fun things to do and see, making it a great place for all ages to learn and explore. The shop is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. However, the factory tour is currently closed due to Covid-19.
Was very excited to hear that tours were back! Took a friend visiting from California on the 10:30 tour. Christopher was our great storyteller guide. I've done the tour in the past many years ago on weekends, so it was interesting to see it during the weekday. You can't bring any phones or cameras on the tour. They have free lockers to stow your purses, backpacks, phones, or food. I bought my ticket ahead online the day before we visited.

Despite the factory tour being closed, the backstage pass film is a good way to find out more about the history and operations at this site. It's no substitute for a real tour though! There was a Q&A session at the end which was a good opportunity to ask questions, although some of the answers given weren't very informative.
The museum and viewing deck are good, so this is a good way to spend a few hours just half an hour outside Seattle.

Went on a Monday afternoon and spent about an hour and half there. Thought it would have a lot more things to look at but there were no factory tours available and some of the exhibits were still under renovation. Staff at the drone pilot and AI stations were very friendly and pleasant. Those interactive stations were pretty cool. The price was cheap ($6).
Worth a visit if you are in the area and you have a couple hours but definitely not a destination like the Museum of Flight. The gift shop was my favourite part of my visit.

I was impressed with the variety, quality and engagement of their exhibits. My 9 and 11-year old girls had a blast. Mini robots that do tricks following lines drawn on paper, a drone flying cage, fly a flock of birds onscreen with body motions, eliminate space junk with a computer game, look at mini drones the size of a fly, make up to 6 ping pong balls float mid-air on tiny streams of air, design your own plane by picking features then flying it in a cockpit to see how well it flies (simple enough for 5-year old to enjoy). We probably missed 5 or more exhibits because we ran out of time! Very inexpensive for the hours of enjoyment. Highly recommended!

This is a good place for young and old, not a whole lot to see, we were there about an hour. But it was interesting. Drones (in a cage) and simple motorized cubes that you can draw a path for them to follow, great for kids. We enjoyed the visit, I know there are bigger museums but for a quick “something to do” that’s not too expensive… it was perfect. Just know to keep your expectations low on the quantity of airplanes. There were several coming soon exhibit so it’s looking to expand.

Awesome gift shop to! And sky deck where you can see the planes landing as well.

Interesting tour but doesn’t get you on the ground floor and up close to the operations to better experience the equipment, parts, processes and aircraft. All observations are from the transport bus or observation decks high above the workplace. Glad I saw it but somewhat disappointed in the distant viewing. Entrance fee a bit pricey for the overall experience. Tour guide and other staff were great!

I was surprised at how informative and interesting this tour was (in that the factory tours are currently closed).
The building has many exhibits including hands-on (mostly for youth). There is a drone area that you can practice flying.
You also have access to a roof top, which provides excellent views of Paine Field and has a radio broadcasting the tower traffic.
The best part for us was the one hour presentation, which was hosted by staff . You could ask questions and interact about the history and the assembly process. It's not like the actual factory tour, but it's still very informative.

It was a good tour; could have been better. Although I understand that there are data privacy concerns and that’s why everything is viewable from a distance.

If you’re a AV geek this place is a must & even if you’re not it’s still very interesting.
Our guide was great & very informative & the whole tour is very well put together & the whole scale of this place is massive.
Book in advance as you can’t just rock up & the whole tour takes about 1 hour 30 minutes I’d say & then you get to walk around the awesome merchandise shop & exhibits & if you purchase the access the viewing gallery too, we got lucky as there was a Dreamlifter there & we saw it departing too

I had a tour and it was very impressive. I booked it online 2 weeks before my visit. The tour is around 90 minutes. I entered the hangar area and visited the assembly line where I saw many planes in production, including two Air Force KC-31s being refueled. Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly. Backpacks, cameras, phones, food, and drinks were not permitted during the tour, but there were free lockers at the entrance. There were no restrooms during the tour, so it's important to hydrate and use the restroom beforehand. The is a sky deck and gallery next to the lobby, you can take pictures of the planes from distance on the deck.

The place is nice overall, the exhibition is nice and that's it, there aren't too many things on display.
The observation deck is impressive providing a breathtaking view of the airport and the mountain ranges surrounding the area.
The tour is fine and nothing more, we were disappointed by the tour and expected much more.
The tour is Including a view of the factory from two high points (observation balconies inside the factory overlooking the 2 parts of the factory) but there is no walking in the factory and there is no watching at what happens in the assembly process up close.
It does not provide the feeling one expects from a tour of the Boeing assembly factory.
I would like to point out that it is forbidden to take pictures during the tour.

Drove 12 hours just for the Boeing tour and it was totally worth it! We had a great time. Even just plane spotting across from the factory was enthralling. We saw an Antonov our first morning there along with all the amazing Boeing planes. I would also love to see a more in depth tour option. The store is fantastic! Lots of selection and the prices were great.
Amy M — Google review
So you can’t take your phone on the tour so the pictures are just of the sky deck that you get access to with a tour ticket. The tour its self is okay, it’s more of a just a bus ride around the Boeing facility with a stop in the production facility. Once on there assembly line you get an elevator onto an observation deck and can look over the 777F assembly line. The tour is not particularly detailed but if you are interested in seeing jets it is a must.

Great insight into the workings of a plane assembly plant! Worth it! Although the price doesn’t justify the length of your and our inability to carry phones for selfies at least! From the viewing terrace you can take some good pictures!
This 220-acre city park offers camping, a boat launch, day-use picnic sites & a scenic loop road.

Washington Park is one of the finest hidden gems in the San Juan islands. It's a wonderful easy walk, with plenty of secret delights and lots of views of the waters around it. Even the campground being there does not detract from the area, as the campground is not even on the main road (it's secreted away up in the middle). There are good beaches here to take kids, and picnic tables down by the boat launch. Whenever I'm in Anacortes, I try to make time to visit this park.

Love the campground and spacious park! Online reservations for camping are limited to 2 weeks in advance which is restricting but it's easy to work around once this is known. They do have a phone number to call that provides updates on how many sites are open which is nice. See wildlife every time I visit, mostly deer, squirrels and different kinds of birds. The park is pretty big and offers all kinds of activities and options.

Washington Park has a wealth of things to do in any weather. You can walk around the park on the two-mile road or you can take any of the many trails.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Anacortes, Washington Park stands as a true testament to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. As an avid nature enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of exploring this stunning park, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the lush forests to the breathtaking views of Rosario Strait and Burrows Island, Washington Park is an absolute gem that should not be missed.
Upon entering the park, I was immediately struck by the peaceful ambiance that enveloped the area. The dense forest, with its towering trees and vibrant undergrowth, creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere. As I wandered along the well-maintained trails, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the natural beauty that surrounded me.
One of the highlights of Washington Park is the abundance of picnic spots scattered throughout the area. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot under the shade of a towering fir tree or a panoramic view of the strait, this park has it all. I found myself spoilt for choice, as each location seemed more inviting than the last. It's the perfect place to gather with friends and family, share a delicious meal, and create lasting memories.
Speaking of views, the vistas offered by Washington Park are simply breathtaking. The park's strategic location provides visitors with unobstructed panoramas of Rosario Strait and Burrows Island. I highly recommend making your way to the west, where you can witness the sun's golden rays painting the sky in a kaleidoscope of colors as it dips below the horizon. It's a sight that will leave you in awe and make you appreciate the beauty of nature.
In addition to its natural wonders, Washington Park offers a range of amenities to enhance your visit. Clean and well-maintained restrooms, ample parking facilities, and informative signage make navigating the park a breeze. The park's commitment to preserving its natural beauty is evident in the attention to detail and the care taken to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.

It is one of the most beautiful parks in Washington. The park has direct access to the beach, and you can see a lot of people launching their boats in the water. Plenty of stuff for everyone, a play area for kids, a lawn to play Frisby, and a picnic area for bbq. This park has ample parking but the parking next to the water is limited. Must visit the park for family and pets.

WA Park is always a go-to spot for me when I'm in Anacortes. I drove here after getting off the ferry to show a friend the beauty and get it a cold swim at the beach next to the boat launch. If you make one stop while driving the loop, make sure it's at the South Bluff. You can also walk to the next two car parking to check out the Havekost Tomb, and read about the history. There is also a loop trail. And a porta potty across the street.

We really like walking the loop at this nature park. I’ve never camped here, but in nice weather we’ll do a picnic. The views of the Sound are fantastic. The only downside is having to compete for space with cars driving the loop. The paved surface is great for bikes.

I haven't been out here since I was little but I was quite disappointed in pretty much everything except the view. There was quite a bit of garbage that my Dad and I walked around, picking up. There was dog doo doo everywhere, including my shoes now. And we were trying to find something to keep my grandkids attention, on the beach but there was no sign of life, unfortunately. So we threw rocks into the water, spun around on a couple things and called it all the fun we could handle. I did get some pics though so they'll be here somewhere.
First time zip lining!!! My wife and I both had a great time. We wanted to do something different for our anniversary an this was an excellent choice. Zipping in-between the trees was a lot of fun. Our guides were very knowledgeable and just all around cool people. Looking forward to zipping again. From start to finish it was an overall great experience. An as a bonus we got free t-shirts because it was our anniversary! Thanks CTNW for the awesome experience.

I filled out the necessary forms online and brought a copy with me so check-in was quick. The location is easy to find. I was in a group of 10, equipping up was quick and well organized (harness and helmet) and the van trip to the starting point fine.
The ziplining was done with two guides, one at the end point of each line and the other, in my case Josh, on the starting platform. He insured everything was done safely while keeping a fun attitude. Each segment has two lines using two trolleys and two support lines to the harness. Most of the platforms had signs explaining some of the history and the ecology of the area. There is some moderately steep walking between some stations, both uphill and then down hill. There is one plank bridge that has to be crossed. After the sixth zipline you drop down about 60 feet on a speed controlled rope. I think the total time from gearing up and dropping gear was about two hours.
I was there on my 73rd birthday and as I was leaving I was stopped by the manager and offered a free gift, an up scale water bottle or a T-shirt. I took the T-shirt.

We visited from Florida and had a GREAT time at Canopy Tours NW! Our guides, Andrew and Devin, were awesome! I was nervous but they made me feel safe and at ease. They had a well thought out system and were very professional. Safety inspection signs were posted throughout the course, which made me feel safe as well. My teenage son had a great time as well. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

This was a fun experience. I'm a local, and I have family on the island. In my opinion, this wasn't nearly as dramatic or scenic as the tours up in Whistler, but it was a nice group activity that's close to home. The guides were friendly and professional, and everything felt very safe. If Whistler was a perfect 10/10, I might give these a 6 or a 7.
The first few lines are short, and the last two were longer (about 600 feet). Those were my favorites.

We had so much fun. It was a great way to wrap up my nephew's trip to WA. Josh, Stephanie, and Patrick were very friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and most importantly safe. This is perfectly accessible even if you have a moderate problem with heights because of their attention to safety.

My husband and I zipped with Canopy Tours NW in June and it was a really fun experience. Our guides were Patrick, "Paddy" and Grace. Both were clearly well trained, funny (ask them about the Green Door) and put safety first. We loved the ride up to the first line in the Unimog. We had perfect zipping weather and the views from each platform were great. At the halfway point they provided water and lavender lemonade made with the lavender from their fields. There is a well stocked gift shop and in the barn where you wait to get your gear, there are interesting photos with history about the family and the farm. This was a great way to celebrate my husband's birthday! We can't wait to "zip on" again!

We went in the afternoon on a nice day in April. It had warmed up by afternoon but they still had hot chocolate with the water at the middle course break and it was good. The zip lines start short and slow for the first two then get faster and longer. It’s not the most extreme zip line course I have done so a good course to try it out if your unsure if zip lines are for you and still enough to be fun for an experienced zip liner. The zip lines go through a nice second growth forest. They said there are often deer below in the morning but they had moved on by the time we went through. The gift shop has information about the family farm and some food produced from it. We got a nice herb Gouda. It’s creamy and the herb flavor really comes through in the finished cheese. We also got lavender fudge that was great and the lavender really comes through in that too. Good food and good times.

My adult son and I had both been zip lining before and were anxious to try it again. Canopy Tours did a great job. Our guides Patrick and Logan were great. The equipment is so sturdy and overbuilt you have great confidence zipping down the lines. They use a breaking system that controls your landing speed regardless of height or weight so you can relax and ride. A nice variety of lines, 6 in all. A couple of surprises along the way to mix things up. A terrific location with a mix of tree types.

We had a great experience with Canopy Tours NW. We had 2 kids with us and we felt completely safe. The team went out of their way to communicate their safety procedures, check every person to ensure they are attached properly on the zip lines and made the whole experience enjoyable and fun.

Journeys East, located within the Tulalip Resort and Casino in Marysville, is a vibrant restaurant offering a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine. Guests can indulge in an array of delicacies from different Asian cultures while enjoying a selection of cocktails and wines. The exceptional service provided by the friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.
First stay at Tulalip Casino. We had ordered sushi here as well, but the service and food with drinks was phenomenal. The chicken karaage on the appetizers menu section was to die for (ask for extra lemon to drizzle, truly makes a difference). We, husband and I, had just sat at the bar outside the main restaurant but still had an amazing experience. If you are at the casino hit this place up!

Been here many times but first time writing a review of this restaurant. Probably everyone knows this is a very popular place. The food is absolutely great. Would recommend the combo fried rice and Bo Luc lac… Sushi is also great too. There is no complaint except for the long line wait and a limited amount of staff working

What happened Journeys East?
Used to be my favorite Asian restaurant in the North end, with contemporary dessert options.
Steamed halibut. Should be renamed to "Microwave" fish. Seriously the halibut stuck to the plate, and it looked and tasted microwave, and just added the yet simple sauce but mediocre. Not worth $30 for this dish!
Green curry with chicken. Curry broth and chicken is spot on, but I didn't realize there would be so many cucumbers and less chicken.
Spicy wontons. Just wontons and chili oil. Probably the only redeeming dish.
Service was okay. Waitress was nice but lack a bit of attention, as we had to flag her down for additional orders.
Overall, if you're out trying to make your luck and crave Asian meal, stick to the lower cost typical items, you should be fine.
It used to have taste/quality of a good restaurant now more of cafeteria quality.

I have been dining at this restaurant since it opened. Before COVID I dined here at least once a week. Several of the servers are familiar with my order and have always provided excellent service. However, after negative experiences on my last two visits I don’t plan on coming back.
On my previous visit the expeditor, Loralei, was in a rush. She kept trying to bring dishes to our table that we did not order. When she finally did bring the dish we were waiting for she slammed it down on the table. Hard enough that I was afraid the momentum would take it off of the table.
We spoke to the manager, Shannon, she apologized and said she would speak to Loralei. She did admit to setting dishes down roughly. We were assured she would receive more training and that she was a good worker that was simply trying too hard to be quick. As our previous experiences had always been positive we felt the matter was resolved.
This evening was about a month after the first incident. I came in with my husband and a friend. We placed our food and drink order with the server and everything seemed fine.
Loralei was the expediter again. At Journey’s the food comes out as it is made. Consequently, someone always ends up waiting for their food. We are used to this system.
Loralei brought my dish. I said it was mine and she set it front of my friend. She corrected herself, but slammed the bowl of pho down. At that point I thought she may have had an issue with me because I had made a complaint about her. I tried to not think anything of it, but then a few other incidents made me think it was intentional.
My friend also ordered pho. I saw a bowl of soup in the window. I did not assume it was ours until I observed Loralei run other dishes that came out afterward. Our server then saw the soup in the window and brought it over. At this time we still had not received our appetizer and my husband was still waiting for fried rice. I let the server know there was an issue and he said he would look into it.
I observed three orders of fried rice go out before my husband received his. I know one of those tables was sat after ours. At this point I asked to speak to a manager.
Before we spoke to the manager Loralei brought my husband’s rice out. She said “Here is a serving spoon if you want to share”. As she said this she brazenly rolled her eyes.
When, Shannon, the manager came to the table (With an unknown man at her side. Did she find me threatening?) I explained that we had a negative experience with Loralei the last time we had dinner. As I was explaining this Loralei delivered our appetizer. I glanced in her direction and probably had an unpleasant expression on my face. Shannon said “Direct that towards me not her”. I can appreciate a manager that stands up for their staff, but not when a staff member is blatantly rude. I explained to Shannon that I cannot control my expressions when someone is being openly disrespectful. She said” Well, two wrongs don’t make a right”.
After that I felt the conversation was going nowhere. I asked for the Food and Beverage managers contact information and both their names.
Shannon said she was the manager of the restaurant. I again requested her managers information. She wrote the information on a card. According to LinkedIn she gave me the assistant managers name.
I lost my appetite and asked Shannon to take my plate and remove it from the bill. Which she did. It took sometime to pay our bill. She pulled our server aside and they both looked in our direction. I assume she felt the need to warn the server about us. We had no issues with our server, Ryan, he did a good job and did his best to help resolve an awkward situation. I will be reaching out to the Food and Beverage manager. I don’t plan on going back unless they hire a better expediter and a manager that can manage.

Best Mongolian beef in Snohomish county. Portions are hit or miss. Fried rice is amazing. Beef pho is okay and works in your need a pho phix. Definitely a wait on nights and weekends. Wish they opened up at 11am instead of noon. Located inside the casino. Great service. Limited menu since Covid.

Journeys East inside Tulalip Casino in Marysville is an absolute gem! The food here is consistently amazing, and I can't get enough of their fantastic menu. I have my all-time favorites, but the diverse options always tempt me to try something new.

This restaurant is good. If you’re looking for sushi, they are not serving it right now. I was dissatisfied with the karaage but only because I have high expectations.
The staff was friendly though so it made up for the food. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp or the chicken chow Mein.

This restaurant is inside the casino.
The food was good, the portion is quite big. Service was good too, our server comes to us very often. It’s fusion restaurant, not that authentic Chinese/ Asian restaurant.
Most of our food taste good, only the fry odon was a bit under seasoned( or not like what I expected. ) It’s a bit dry to me.

Dining here tonight was good. Our waitress was on top of things. Food was very fast and fresh. I will be back. Wonton was okay. Rolls were delicious. Udon noodles were great. Honey walnut shrimp was fantastic. Can't wait to try some new dishes next time. Thought the portion on the shrimp could have been bigger as there were only 10 for $18 but by the time I was done I was full and happy.
Located in Tulalip, Washington, just six minutes north of Marysville, the Seattle Premium Outlets is a popular shopping destination in the Seattle metropolitan area. The outlet center offers a wide range of stores with discounted prices on well-known brands. Visitors can also find Gateway Shopping Center nearby, which features major retailers and easy access from the I-5 highway.
I absolutely LOVE outlet malls, as nearly everything has discounted prices. This one has a decent selection of name-brand stores, and a few premium ones in a figure-eight style loop.
There’s a food court and a Starbucks in the middle, and pretzel, and kettle corn stands scattered throughout.

A lot of people from BC to shop here and bring back to Canada to save on taxes and have more options. The is the strength of the US.
Many shops and pretty much what you need is here. Weekday afternoon, many shops is close for lunch for 30-60 minutes. Be aware of this so you don’t feel bad when the door is locked.

This is a great place to shop, especially during the holidays. It's best for clothing and shoes. It's also a great place for kids, plenty of food locations and spots to play. There is a parking lot and garage. Although it can be crowded on weekends, it always seems to have parking. Fun place to visit!

Great deals! Awesome shopping experience!
Edit- those who want to go via public transportation need to catch a bus from Bellevue transit center bay-4.
I recommend checking google for more details before planning. the bus takes around 2-3 hours depending on traffic. with a car, it's 35 - 45 minutes. However, I would suggest taking a cab.

Fun and inexpensive mall, has tons of discounted stores! And great brands as well . Parking lot is humongous but still gets very very packed and parking can be hard to find, especially on the weekends. Very clean atmosphere, tons of bathrooms, drinking fountains and water bottle refill stations. They also have some fun quarter machine rides for kiddos, as well as you can rent stroller car things. I wish they had more food options though, there's about 4-5 in the food court to choose from like Subway. I recommend getting off the 116th exit because the other exit gets extremely backed up. Beautiful holiday decorations.

This store owner said he is smart as a business owner and doesn’t care about the needs of clients. He refused to exchange any quarters back while our purchasing, and refused to help us toss the receipt as he will run his business at the ‘smartest’ way for his best interest.
We bought something over $8.XX and paid $10, and we barely asked for few quarters back. Then we got this attitude :)
Not a pleasant experience of visiting this place.

It’s an excellent place to buy your needs with a discount between 15-20%. You have to check their offers as they may provide extra discounts at different days of the year. But we can’t compare it with Portland outlet as no tax there. Parking is spacious but you need to come early to ensure a slot. Foods , they have food court and other small shops and food is okay.

Seattle Premium Outlets is my favorite place to shop in Tulalip. As a well known member of Tulalip Casino. I have come here on many occasions with my family and Daughters to shop here. This is one of the best places for that in the State of Washington. I have bought at stores like Nike, True Religion & Zumiez. Every store in Seattle Premium Outlets is worth Visiting. I highly recommend this place for all Families. Thank you for the Memories and and Bless the Tulalip Reservation!

Roozengaarde, located between La Conner and Mt Vernon, is a well-known bulb producer famous for its vibrant fields of blooms and stunning display garden showcasing a wide variety of bulb types. The picturesque backdrop includes the majestic Mt Baker and a Dutch-inspired windmill, offering plenty of photo opportunities. Despite the increasing admission price and occasional crowds, visitors find it worthwhile due to the consistently beautiful garden and amazing fields.
Awesome place to visit Tulips every year, almost 75% of flowers are bloomed. We went on Friday evening to view the flowers in the sunset and it didn't disappoint. What a colorful display it was with flowers in almost all colors. Crowd was less compared to day time, lot of parking spaces and restrooms maintained as usual. It was very cold in the evening, particularly after sunset, so wear proper clothing. Seems less area covered this year may be due to Covid effect but still worth visiting the place.

Pretty spectacular grounds with tens of millions of tulips, daffodils, and other flowers. The concessions are expensive (as you’d expect), but you’re allowed to bring your own food and drinks. There are plenty of portable toilets and hand washing stations. Try to arrive just before it opens so you can be ready to enter right away. It will get crowded quickly.
Bret Warren — Google review
Visited on very cold, rainy, windy Monday morning and despite that the flowers were super beautiful, and as a bonus the crowds were reduced (but amazingly a lot of people starting showing up by 11:00 AM). Displays and fields are indeed nice. If you are on a budget, you can see a lot from the little parking lot just outside the fence, but paying the admission is probably worth it. Soil is well drained (tulips right?) so still could walk around in the rain. All good, except was dumbfounded that none of the tulips are labeled as to type. Would seem an easy add for them to do that, I don’t get why there needs to be a secret about what tulip is what type? Unbelievable given we were there to decide what tulips we liked best for future bulb purchases for our own garden (vs relying on photos in a catalog). So, total failure there and we will order/buy our hundreds of bulbs elsewhere since these folks don’t care to help in that way. Really unwise on their part in my view. Also, there was zero info posted or otherwise about how they run the business of growing tulips, would have expected that but I guess most visitors just want their quick photo for social media versus some insight into the tulip business etc. Part of the dumbing down of America I guess. There was a single helpful poster on the bulb cycle. Anyways we had fun, and can buy tulips elsewhere.

Free parking! A huge selection of variety of Tulips! Gorgeous displays! A beautiful garden with a colourful and unique design 😍😍
Today was a very busy weekend there but we were impressed with how well the traffic was directed into the parking lot and the food stand ( behind the garden) was very efficient. They were definitely prepared for the crowd.
We have enjoyed visiting he tulip fields & the Roozengaarde for over 30 years... This was one of the busiest weekends we had ever visited!

Went on a Saturday and the weather was extremely nice which is great and all but with those two factors it meant traffic everywhere and lots of people. There’s lots of tulips to look at and take photos. You can purchase your ticket online or pay when you get there $15/per person. They do take cash or card. They do have food you can purchase or you can bring your own food. There is free parking but I was impatient so I paid $10 (cash only) to park at the fire station which wasn’t too bad and the walk to the entrance isn’t bad.

We visited Roozengaarde today and had a positive experience! Tickets were $15 each and included parking. On site there were hamburgers, coffee, and fudge available for purchase. The honey buckets were the cleanest I’ve ever been in. We had so much fun and took beautiful photos in the tulip and daffodil fields. It’s amazing how intricately the flowers were planted and designed. When you visit, please do not walk between the rows of flowers and stay on the main path. We saw many people breaking the rules for a photo but do not be those people. Respect the farmers who allow us to visit their flower fields.

The tulip festival is a beautiful place to be and so peaceful! I recommend going on a week day and getting there right when it opens to avoid the crowds. We got there right at 9 am and it was delightful and stunning. We went the first weekend so not all the tulips were in bloom but most were. This coming week I’m sure they will be! I hadn’t been in 10 years and I went to Roozegaarde both times. It didn’t not disappoint. Beautiful surroundings and if you go on clear day you’ll see the mountains peak out. The staff is great inside the store and of course you need to buy some tulips to display at home. Grab some hot tea, coffee and fudge. Can’t miss out on that fudge!

Beautiful place in the spring to see outstretched fields of blooming tulips as well as garden areas planted in various arrangements. It's a photographer's delight, but prepare for the massive crowds. We went on Easter Day, and we had to park a half mile away and walk in, despite our tickets including free parking. There were massive crowds. Little ones around the crowds were losing strength as parents were trying to get the perfect Easter photos. It will definitely wear your legs out walking from parking zone to the far reaches of the fields, but the photos are beautiful!

We've been coming here since 2002. We began a family tradition and only have missed a few times over the past 21 years. Roozengaarde's admission has increased over that period of time, but it's still worth it. Their garden is always beautiful and the fields can be amazing. If you're patient, you will see a full garden. Unfortunately, nature dictates the bloom schedule every year. The staff is always in a great mood. They have coffee, kettle corn, hot dogs for the kiddos. Great photo ops all around!

It's was a beautiful field of tulips 🌷 but somehow it was smaller then anticipated from what I saw on their Instagram. Good to note: You are not allowed to walk between any of the rows!

The Skagit tulip festival never disappoints! There’s no way to beat the crowds at this, the largest garden of the festival, but don’t let that deter you. Take your time walking around all the fields of gorgeous flowers at various stages of blooming. The colors are magical, the people working, there are always friendly, and if you love, flowers and nature, you’ll be in good company with everyone else who’s come to appreciate the beauty as well.

We visited on the weekend (tickets were $10 each, which is cheaper than what the website says). The grounds are well maintained, and surprisingly not too crowded.
Most of the daffodil fields are in bloom and some tulip ones too. Everything is spread out enough that you can find a quiet corner if you want. They also have a llama pen, which is adorable!

This is THE place to see tulips during bloom time. Come early before April 1st, and on a sunny day if you can. This place is gorgeous and their field is huge, packed with rows and rows of very dense, colorful and well organized tulips. When you see tulip fields in tourist brochures, it’s likely from this place. The flowers are also very reasonably priced if you want to buy a few bunches to take home ($7 per bunch, 5 for $30).

I have been here several times. First weekend in April was great this year. There are usually tulips and or daffodils throughout the festival. They have organized things very well. Don't be those people wearing shoes that shouldn't go in mud. They do a great job with the paths, but it's still the pnw. Plan about 2 hours.

White Rock Pier is a 470-metre-long (1,540 ft) pier in White Rock, British Columbia. Originally built in 1914, it was a dock for steamships that arrived when the Great Northern Railway began operation. On December 20, 2018, the pier was severely damaged during a wind storm. The pier was repaired and reopened in 2019. 🤍

Whatcom Falls Park is a scenic city park located in the hills, featuring waterfalls, gardens, trails, a fishing pond, and a playground. It's an ideal place for families to visit and enjoy nature. The park has public washrooms and a small playground near the parking lot. Visitors can take short hikes along relaxing trails surrounded by trees. Although it may not be as expansive as some parks, its beauty makes it worthwhile to visit.
A lovely park with an ancient bridge and beautiful waterfalls. Short and light (there are stairs at some point so not suitable for a baby stroller). Near the parking lot there are public washrooms and small playground. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place for a more challenging walk/hike. Most of the trails were pretty narrow and a little muddy(we went in December). A few of them required a more adventurous disposition than I had that day and I didn't wear the best shoes. I have been told that the falls are much more full rapid flowing if you visit in the spring when the mountain snow melt flows down. I think it's fantastic any time of year. Visited December 2018

Just after a very short hike up the falls you will find another small falls - we saw lot of young people playing,bathing and swimming there - looked fun but I think i read no swimming in falls somewhere in the park so not sure if this was allowed.
The small playground is nice for less then 4 years old kids.

You can continue the walk through the park and reach the Bloedel Donavan Park, which I highly recommend!
This entire walk takes a total of 1.5 hours to complete. Easy!

This is not the closest parking area for viewing the falls. If you want to see the falls and not walk far, use directions for Whatcom Creek Park.
That being said it’s still a nice shady walk to the falls from here. The whole park is huge with lots of trails.
Lots of people swimming in the creek, I was surprised how inviting the water looked. Still we never figured out a way to get down there that didn’t freak me out because it’s a steep jump and a long fall if you are not careful.

I love the natural beauty of this park. The river runs through creating a series of pools. There is a wonderfully built stone bridge. My personal favorite is the old trestle bridge spanning the river.

A beautiful park with a really cool waterfall right next to the entrance! The waterfall is so picturesque😍
You can chill by the water, and it's super refreshing. Plus, there are hiking trails all around, so you can explore the area. It's a great place to just kick back, have a picnic, or snap some killer Instagram pics. Trust me, you gotta check it out if you're into nature and good vibes.

Such a cute park! The falls are beautiful! A park with the amenities of a small city park (playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, bathrooms, off-leash dog areas, etc.) but with trails that feel like you’re out in the middle of the woods. I love walking here!

Absolutely stunning. Oasis within 5-10 minutes of Bellingham. Perfect place to FALL back and connect with nature. Plenty of trails, especially along the river! Minimal walk from parking lot to waterfalls if you don’t/ can’t walk far.

We often like to go for walks when we're out. We stumbled on this path and it was better than we expected. It's a great party with quite a large flowering falls. The falls aren't high but the water coming over was a lot. Just a beautiful serene place worth visiting!!

Beautiful park and easy trails! Terrible experience with a guy from parks and rec who slammed on the door and yelled at my girlfriend while she was using the public and unlocked restroom at the park. She had only been in the bathroom for less than two minutes. We think he assumed she was a houseless person but nothing excuses his rude behavior and yelling.

Love that the waterfalls and stone bridge is so close to the parking lot. Saw some deer on the way out. Honestly the closest I've been to deer in nature. Just a lovely park for a walk.
19th-century fur trading post offering interpretive exhibits & activities such as gold panning.
I can't believe I've never taken the time to visit and explore Fort Langley. Full of historical buildings and exhibits outlining the history of European settlement, the Hudsons Bay company and the relevance of Fort Langley to the story. A fascinating place to visit for a few hours

Because I had my dog, we couldn't visit the fort, but that's not a problem. This village is a feast for all five senses. A great place to see vintage vehicles, and lots of antique shops. We visited the old rail station, which was a favorite of the grandkids, then crossed the bridge and wandered along the Fraser River's edge. Fort Langley is always busy on weekends, but when we visited on Labour Day, it was not bad at all. We lunched at the bistro under the pub, enjoying their peppery calamari while sitting outside at one of their beautifully appointed outdoor booths. A very pleasant day!

This is impressive considering that the site is under 200 years old on a compact site. The staff are all friendly and they will share their knowledge of the site and how the Hudson Bay Company did business and learned to integrate into the community.
It is a great choice to take kids as there is onbly one main entrance / exit (no wandering off) there is a playroom building dedicated for kids. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced. Parking lot access is good.
We went during a rainstorm, and it is not hard to image how the people lived in the wet, westcoast weather. Even with the rain, there were about 30 visitors on site. If you are visiting during clear and warm weather, I can imagine the site being very busy, so I would recommend buying tickets in advance.

Loved exploring this historic site. It highlights the part of the local history when the first settlers traded items with the first nations. The blacksmith workshop show and walking around the fort walls was my favourite part.

What a nice fun place to visit for the whole family! All the staffs are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They even have 5 tentics for rent to stay inside the fort during summer time, so cool! Clean washrooms and big parking lot..

The thing that makes Fort Langley is the enthusiasm and erudition of the docents who bring this place alive. On our visit we met an 80 year old man who had the most phenomenal memory who held us spell-bound while he told us his story - and the story of the Fort. But the laurel wreath award goes to the chatty blacksmith who absolutely brilliant and shows you how hand eye coordination improves with practice and cannot be replicated any other way and who can turn a few cms of iron bar into a nail in seconds. We were early, so all I wanted to do was use the washroom - which is before you have to pay for admission - we would of course return after lunch - and I had a very informative exchange with the guy selling tickets. Parks Canada has done its amazing magic (see Dawson City if you don't believe me) in bringing a collection of historical buildings to life. Every schoolchild in the lower mainland gets to go to Fort Langley. If you haven't been yet you should go now.

First time here I didn't know what to expect, it was clean, beautiful, and had something interesting in every building. I loved the workers in period clothing, and so knowledgable. Even stuff for the kids to do and play with. If you're looking for something to do for 2 hours this is the place. Not to mention the great shopping area in down town to far away.

We went today to the vive les voyageurs event, also was our first time visiting the historic site, the place is big and great for activities with children, we visit all the area, at the main entrance you can take a map, also attend the music performance with michael and rosie and the spoons with maurice, it was really fun!, we learn something new today!, we trade something with the blacksmith and eat some poutine, its really amazing how locals try to keep the traditions and heritage!

This old small heritage town is a swing-by place for anyone who get bored with downtown Vancouver and wanna get away into a new environment. Many local eatery’s that are kept genuine and authentic. Fort itself is a disappointment because the forest covers everything and I can’t see inside. However, wandering around this town and capture some photos are still worth it. I have a feeling that this town is similar structured like Ladner. Overall, it is nice to be here.

Golden Ears Provincial Park is a sprawling outdoor recreation area located just an hour away from downtown Vancouver. It boasts a massive lake that offers a variety of aquatic activities, and is also home to three different campgrounds and numerous hiking trails. The park is renowned for its scenic trails and ample parking space, making it an ideal destination for hikers, trail runners, walkers and picnic-goers alike. Additionally, boat/kayak rentals are available during the summer months.
One of the better parks around, some of the best trails/hikes around. Ample parking for all your friends and then some. Trail runners and walkers enjoy the multitude of trails all around. Ideal weather is a dry 20+ degree day, but even on a 7 degree late winter day was nice, especially with all the picnic tables available. Boat/kayak rentals in the summer also make it a nice day out

I have now been here twice with different friends this summer. Day pass was required to enter certain parts of the park due to peak visitor season, so it's completely understandable. The pass is free and easy to get online. The park staff checking passes are efficient and friendly (and probably tired of some people's attitudes - be kind, they're awesome people).
The first hike was on one of the more challenging ones, the Lake Viewpoint Trail, which lead to a view that was once grand but now is a bit overgrown and difficult to see the lake. Absolutely still worth the hike, let me tell you. Beautiful canopy covered trail, that snakes up and down a fairly steep mountainside. (First 5 photos are of this hike).
The second hike was a much more relaxed and long walk at the Lower Falls trail, which let to many stunning spots along the river. The wide gravel trail (watch your step for large rocks poking out!) is stroller and wagon friendly, so taking the tiny humans along is easy enough. Lots of large families going in and out. As the trail progresses it gets more narrow, but is still wide enough to drive a small car through (though seriously do not). The falls itself is quite beautiful with the potential to be mesmerizing to the senses.
(The last 10 photos are of this hike.)

This is a must see when visiting BC! The lake is breathtaking and looks like it belongs in a painting! This is our favourite morning stroll spot, we grab some Starbucks then spend the morning enjoying what Golden Ears has to offer. Really worth seeing. You will need a reservation to visit before 4 pm but spots free up and are easy to book using the online site.

Our experience of Aloutte Lake was overwhelming. The lake was so Beautiful and the whole area was serene. Just a heads up for those travelling by bus or taking a cab- there’s no bus servixe or cab service while going back unless you have hired a cab for full day. There’s no mobile network as well. Overall, a beautiful place!

We have been trying short walks with our dog. In Golden ears we have tried the Gold Creek Falls trail which is extremely accessible stroller not a problem. Our most recent was the trail around Mike Lake. On this trip it was after an entire day of steady rain. Clean clear water was flowing every where. There was one spot where the water accumulated and the paths available were limited and mostly swamped. Humans did OK. Dog required a bath. Of the 2 the Gold Creek trail was the most beautiful landscape and the Mike Lake the most like real hiking.

It was my first time camping. I went there with my friend who booked camp site . The grounds are big enough for 2 trucks although you have to pay. $12 for second one and we set up 6 tents large size with 3 canopy. Fire is still not allowed but you can use propane fire pit . The walk is very less to lake and views are splendid. Don’t leave food outside unattended . Don’t keep food inside tent at any time . They had flush toilet n clean water tap but night time it’s dark so really good to keep torch flashlight on you after sunset .

This is for the south beach and trail area. The waterfront lake here has many picnic benches that will fill up quickly during the warmer season. Come here early if you want to use one. A lot of park goers BBQ, play ball games, canoe or kayak and enjoy time with friends and family. There are plenty of parking that if the first set of parking space is unavailable, the second set will have your back. The trails in this area is quiet, legible and peaceful. In busy seasons, the washrooms can get full to the point where you have to wait in line or use the outhouses. There is a fountain right in front of the public washrooms for drinking water, not for cleaning activities.

Huge provincial park with lots of trails, parking spaces, and camp sites. I went in mid February and although it was still a bit chilly, there were already some people out camping. The views are spectacular. Public washrooms are available as well as benches, picnic tables, and bear proof trash cans. It is a must visit place in the summer for those who love nature.

Golden Ears is one of the largest parks in BC spanning more than 150K acres and hosts a large number of hiking, cycling and horse riding trails. Each trail offers unique and beautiful sights of snow-capped mountains, lake, waterfalls, stream of snow melt water, lush green vegetation and beaches.
There are camping sites available here but you need to reserve them well in advance as they are very popular. The parking here is also quite limited and if you want to park near the entrance of trails, you need to get here early in the morning. As the day progresses, you may need to park by the roadside.
Do note that there is no phone reception here. So, plan your visit accordingly and download offline maps before heading to this park. That said, there's probably no better place near Vancouver to disconnect from everyday life and enjoy the bounty of natural beauty this park offers.

The hiking trails in this park are perfect for a good workout. The terrain is a mix of loose pebbles and packed earth and is fairly well maintained. The entire trail is well shaded and is a perfect place to escape the mid day sun.
I've done this trail 3 times now and only came across another group a couple of times, so if you dont like crowds, this is a good place to go.
I would definitely recommend this trail to others.

Lots of campgrounds and amazing experience for camping off the grid since no cellphone reception at the gold creek campgrounds. Sign for bear in area were up everywhere and so it's important to follow park rules and safely dispose garbage promptly. Loved the overall experience and the hot showers made sure we stayed clean through out our camping trip. Park doesn't have fire pits for rental so please bring your own Propane firepita during fireban.

One of my favourites campsites, again freaking hard to get spot on weekends………. The place is always quiet and clean and the campground size just bigger enough for two tents ⛺️ and a tiny one for dog. I enjoyed the water in the lake even though it’s always cold 🥶. Shower is good, it’s warm not hot which I personally prefer hot shower…….only downside is you ain’t get no signal here , which is kinda good no phones no internet, just chills and enjoy camping.

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

Beautiful place, with paved walkway all the way around the lake, there are three different kids toy areas at every entrance. Lots of benches by the water to sit on the walk around, few boardwalks that go out onto the water. Lots of canada geese, ducks and turtles. It takes roughly 15 minutes to walk around, gorgeous lake & park. Also beautiful walk in the winter when the fog, and snow are out with the lake all frozen.💯

Nice 45 minute walk around the lake. Dogs permitted on leash only. Kids parks, seating, picnic tables (some covered) garbage cans and restrooms around walkway. Beautiful large trees, lots of ducks and geese. A small wharf with seating by a small parking lot. Signs up for trails. Two trails...1 is paved and the other is parallel closer to the lakes edge covered in bark mulch. Not safe to walk in the dark but safe during the day as other walkers of all ages are walking the trail. Lake is not for swimming but you can do some fishing. Large water feature in the middle of the lake. No place to grab food or drink along the trail.
Nice place to walk (preferably not alone)

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

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

Clayburn Village Store is a charming attraction in Abbotsford, situated at the base of Sumas Mountain. Established in 1905, it was the first company town in British Columbia and offered various amenities to its employees. The village boasts several museums and cultural sites nearby. Visitors often stop by for a break during road trips and are delighted by the store's offerings. The shop provides an array of delicious treats, including homemade sausage rolls and nostalgic candies.
If you want candy or other great unique finds, this is the place to go! They have so many rare old candies and unique treats from back when we were kids. So much to look at being a heritage building, will definitely be back for ice cream when the weather gets warm.

Boy do I miss the "Tea Shop" portion but, it remains an absolute treasure! You'd be hard pressed to find a more magical candy shop.

Stopped here as a leg stretch before our road trip and this place did not disappoint. Family road trip, all of us adults, and we spent almost an hour perusing the delicious treats, reminiscing about candies from day of yore. My brother devoured one of their homemade sausage rolls (which he said was so good) and we picked up a bag full of sweet goodies to keep us entertained for the next week. Everyone in the store was really nice, helpful – and the place was well organized, fully stocked and neat as a pin. Great way to start our family vacation!

This is more of a light walk than a hike. Easy to do with kids. There are some stairs so a stroller wouldn’t be ideal. It’s a really beautiful spot, and we swim in the summer as well. This is a place I love to go when I want a scenic drive and am not in the mood for a long walk.

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

This time of year, it's not raging but still amazing. Enjoy the spendor of nature.

A short, easy climb (only about 200 meters or so from the parking lot) to a stunning waterfall. If you cross the suspension bridge, watch your step getting on and off if it is wet. The metal piece joining the bridge and the platform is slick! We watched a couple people nearly fall.
The picnic area is worth checking out as well. Bring a lunch and a towel and dip your feet into the crisp, clean mountain water!

One of the best waterfalls in Fraser Valley. It’s an easy 10 mins walk from the parking lot. The hike is pretty easy and when you go up, you are welcomed by an amazing suspension bridge and the evergreen Cascade Falls.
It gets pretty busy during the weekend. People tends to go near the bottom of the falls and relax for a while. There is a small picnic area where you will find enough space to have your meal and chitchat with your friends and family. The washroom facility is not great though and it can be improved.

Trail to the waterfalls was pretty slushy, otherwise it’s pretty straightforward. Beautiful spot but nothing else to see but the waterfalls. If going for the day maybe pair it with something else, this area has a lot of nature to appreciate.

Been visiting this place often as it is so close - easy access ( the road off the main road could use some tlc for the sinks but, really, its such a beautiful place to see. Just drive slow on the 1km road. Easy walk up but steepish - totally worth the view. Good year round to see! Pets are usually out here on leash with family

Definitely need a car to access this fall, easy kid and pet friendly trail. You would see a small suspension bridge and a misty spot to capture the beauty of this fall.
Parking available at site

The Cultus Lake Waterpark is a popular destination for families seeking water-based rides and activities. The park offers a variety of thrilling slides, spray areas, tubing, hot tubs and more that are sure to entertain kids of all ages. In addition to these attractions, the park also has attentive life guards and many onsite eateries.
Great place with tons of awesome slides, pools and spray areas. All kids of all ages love it here and everyone is happy all day. Attentive life guards. The only thing that really threw us for a loop was a self serve buffet bar for burger toppings. Not covid friendly in the least. So we ordered fries and chicken strips and left it at that!

Great experience. This is the first time in my life that I took any water ride and that too very high scale ride. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My kid just loved it.

We took our three kids here last summer and they had a great time. We only saw them when they were hungry. We rented two deck loungers and that is now a thing we need to do every time we go back. We were shaded, we were comfortable, and we were happy to stay as long as the kids were having fun.

Cultus Lake Waterpark is a fantastic place for families with kids, as my recent visit with my 6 and 11-year-olds proved. The park offers a wide array of water slides and attractions that kept my kids entertained for hours. From thrilling slides to the lazy river, there was something for everyone.
The only downside we experienced was the park's policy against bringing in our own BBQ. While we understand the need for safety and cleanliness, it would have been nice to have the option to cook our own food, especially for families with dietary restrictions or picky eaters. However, the park does have a variety of food options available for purchase, including snacks, drinks, and meals.
Overall, our experience at Cultus Lake Waterpark was fantastic. The kids had a blast, and we appreciated the park's commitment to safety and cleanliness. We would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a fun day out.

Really nice park and tons of attractions but absolutely not worth the price when attending with very young kids. There should be a lesser rate for toddlers and their parents.
Additionally, I was somewhat put off by the number of people wearing pants and long sleeve shirts on the slides and in all the pools. There just seemed to be more dirt, grass and floating debris in the pools, which I couldn’t help but think might be due to all of the fully clothed people, but I could be wrong.
Overall, I’ve had better experiences here in past years but maybe it was just an off day, the park has been kept up well with lots of new additions. Worth attending if you are okay with paying an arm and a leg.
Amber Pahlke — Google review
Administration doesn’t care about its little visitors. My little daughter went off this slide and scraped her leg. Look where the child has to went off on this slide! A hard (like sandpaper) and uneven surface awaits the child below. Be careful!

My daughter likes this waterpark. We had a great day here.
Easy parking. Quick check in (We arrived 10.10 in the morning). $10 parking and $10 umbrella rent is acceptable. Great grass for rest with fresh air and great view. Grab&Go food is good.
Make sure you get everything you need before you leave your car. No return allowed.
One problem is it’s really overcrowded. We went there on Thursday. It’s beyond its capacity so that every slide has a very long line, especially in the afternoon.
Wei Sun — Google review
This park started in 1984. The facilities are in reasonable shape considering its age. There are slides/play areas tailored for each age/risk-tolerant group from toddler to seniors. Staffs are friendly and attentive to guests' safety. Bring your slippers with you when hitting the bathroom, which might be the one of the few weakness of the entire park. Hot tubes' sanitary might be the next. Park get crowded by 11am on a weekday in August, so can't imagine the busyness over weekends. Each ride's queue takes around 15 minutes. Scan the park to find the shortest line might save your some time. Portable tent is a must-have for hot days and for better privacy. Rental umbrella easily knocked down by wind. Cargo cart is prevailing in the park and essential if you carry lots of stuff with you, but the park thoughtfully offers a loading zone right in front of the entrance.

I have not been in this place for almost a decade! Went on a sunny day after a few days of camping. My family and friends and their kids had a blast here! The cabana we rented out is perfect for our big group. Love their tots are; great for my 14mos old, even for my almost 4yo kid as the water is warmer and very shallow. I should say that most of the rides are still there, from what i remember. The cabanas and shaded picnic tables are a big addition to this place. We will do one more trip before summer ends.

The water park overall is very entertaining and has many attractions, however, even on weekdays the waiting time per each slide is around 30 minutes, there are also no large swimming pools for leisure swin.

Cultus Lake Waterpark is a splash hit for all ages! We went to the Waterpark on a Wednesday morning; it was overcast with light rain at the start and it was fantastic!
We arrived at 9:30 - about 30 min before it opened - and there were about 7 or 8 groups already in line. The queue area is covered and protects you from the rain or sun depending on the weather. The checkin process was quick with the longest being the bag and food check.
If you arrive early you can get a free covered picnic table to set your things out for the day. As the weather was crummy and we were there early there was no issue getting a spot.
The kids were able to have the run of the place for the first hour plus as it wasn’t too busy due to the weather and it being mid-week. There is a very wide selection of water slides to choose from, in size, twistiness, soakability, and scare factor; but regardless of which one you choose it is sure to be fun! The kid’s favourites were the Valley of Fear, Black Hole, and the Bazooka bowl! The slides are starting to show their age with some wear but it doesn’t detract from the fun.
The food is expensive and the quality is pretty meh. The best deal is obviously the ice cream with the portions being massive. You are probably fine getting a single as none of the kids could finish the double scoop they got.
Parking is $10 and you pay when you leave.
Overall Cultus Lake Waterpark is a great time, especially if you go on a rainy Wednesday! Otherwise I would definitely recommend buying your tickets in advance!!
Clayton C. — Google review
Ridiculously poor. See photos.
Used diapers and trash in the parking lot should have served as a warning.
We arrived late and paid for reduced tickets at 1630. In the 2.5h we had, we managed 4 rides due to appalling queues and overcrowding.
We recognized this as soon as we were in the park and due to the long lines and horrifically long lines we immediately asked for a refund but we're declined because the staff onsite lack any authority to give one.
I first visited this place on the late 80s and had fond memories and was excited to bring me kids here. It looks like it's been left to rot since this time with flaky paint, stained slidesz rust, litter and more.
I'm fortunate enough to have visited many water parks in different countries inc. Austria, Spain and UAE. THIS WAS RHE WORST BY FAR.
Avoid it.
Greg Bullock — Google review
It's a damn good time....BUT....I kinda thought buying the tickets online would mean they limit entrance....nope...its frigging packed expect to wait 30 minutes at minimum for tube rides and 15 for body slides. One was over 45 min, and an hour by time you actually get out of the slide.
Lazy river was completely packed, same as pirate ship, kids pool/slides, you're tripping over people all day period.
The rules could use an update at canyon tube. 2 adults and 3 kids(450lbs maybe) can't go in a tube, but 4 250lbs adults can go just fine even though weight limit is 800lbs....don't make sense to me, rules are rules after all.
Overall it's fun, but do not expect to go anywhere fast.

A beautiful 88 feet Twin waterfall located in the Mt Baker National Forest area which featured in the movie Deer Hunter . It can be accessed by driving a primitive road .
There is a short trail that leads down to an overlook . The overlook is well fenced . There is a lot of parking space available .

We visited the Falls in August 2022, while exploring the Mt. Baker Scenic Byway. It is impressive. There is a short, easy trail to the falls viewing spot. The gravel road leading to the parking area is in decent shape for any vehicle. Highly recommended.

No hiking required. This is more of a overlook. Does need drive on a gravel road.

This place is wonderful (even on a very gloomy and rainy day). The falls offer magnificent views and the roaring white water makes the day. The drive to the falls is through dense green vegetation.
There is ample parking space but the lack of conveniences would be missed.

Awesome falls, we went today to this falls, with the recent rain there is heavy flow in the river as well as in the falls, lot of gust from the falls. No rest rooms in the falls area, parking is limited but not much crowd as well. You can have top view of the falls, you can also go near the river which is under the bridge.

Easy walk to the falls Viewpoint. No restrooms though in this place.
Sowmya — Google review
The falls are dramatic and a short drive off the main road. You follow a gravel, one lane road, for a short distance to a parking area. We visited mid-week and only saw a couple other people.
The signage to the falls is a bit before the turn, but the turn itself does not mention the falls (Wells Ck Rd).
Warning signs describe the danger of getting too close to the falls, and has a list some of those who have perished. It is a scary drop off on the other side of the fence.
Wayne O — Google review
Nice little falls, easy access for viewing, but it is dangerous outside of the designated areas. The gravel road to the falls is narrow, but has some pullouts. There is also a parking lot big enough for about a dozen cars (more if people park well).

Beautiful fall and river. There is overlook area which does not require a lot of hike. My parent 65+ could easily walk up to the viewing area. There is fence on the side of the fall for protection, however the river side is easily accessible.
Overall nice place.
Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park is a 32-hectare recreational area that offers a pleasant hiking trail leading to a waterfall. A viewing platform allows visitors to enjoy the stunning view of the waterfall, which provides therapeutic sounds and drops of water. The park also features picnic areas for relaxation and enjoyment. Visitors can indulge in cold therapy by taking towels and swim gear for swimming in the refreshing water.
Wonderful experience! It is just 10 minutes walking from the parking, the path is very easy cause it has lot of signs, many toilet cabinets. The view is simply incredible and stoning.

An easy and short trail of 15-minute walking. Calm walk in the woods that leads to an observation of an impressive waterfall. You can climb for a few more minutes and get closer to the waterfall. The place is arranged with free parking, picnic tables and public washrooms. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, old forest trail hike to the spectacular falls. Well-maintained, short, easy, but fairly steep gravel walking path with helpful steps in certain areas. To and fro in 30 minutes - but add time for the many photo opportunities. Picnic tables, restrooms, and a fair-sized parking area makes for a perfect family day visit. Mossy limbs of the towering evergreens gives a magical feel to this park. Loved it! Enjoy!

Lovely short walk in the woods to arrive at the Bridal Veil Falls which is a gorgeous waterfall. Parking space was limited during the end of March as the main parking lot was not opened, so most cars parked on the side of the road. The walk to the falls is not difficult but it has a slight incline. Good place to stop by for the young and old. There is a gas station, diner, and campground nearby.

The sound of the waterfall is every therapeutic. Drops of water fall on your skin. If I were you, I would take a towel and swim gear here for some cold therapy. It’s very calming and anti inflammatory. Also a great spot for photos at sunrise. No one is there.

Memorable experience visiting this place. It Really looks like a bridal veil and beautiful. Be warned don't go beyond the safe area, tried it once, though it was thrilling experience, wouldn't recommend it for safety reasons. Overall one of the best experiences for hiking and a serene atmosphere. Would definitely recommend visiting during summer.

GOOORGEOUS waterfall!! :D
There's a bit of a "hike" to get there, around 10 mins, maybe, not tough at all. I was so excited to go there that I ran up the hills lol. It's a tiny bit steep, but the view you see along the way is very beautiful!! the falls are so pretty in the sunlight, so I think it's best to go in the afternoon (that's the time I went, and that's the time the sun hits it prettily)

What a beautiful, amazing and spectacular waterfall.
It's literally a 2 minute drive off the highway. If you have 30 minutes to spare make sure you stop in here. Its a 15 minute hike through the forest, mostly uphill. The climb to the very bottom of the water is a little intense. The summer months are usually packed with tourists. But on this beautiful fall day we had the falls all to ourselves!

A little bit of a steep incline gravel walkway up to the falls. Lots of great photo ops. Beautiful treed scenery.
Very very clean bathrooms at the parking lot area which doesn't have a lot of parking on busy weekends
No entrance fee..
Some really nice sturdy picnic tables with barbecue space available.

Visiting here was an awe-inspiring journey into nature's grandeur. The cascading waters, a mesmerizing blend of power and tranquility, danced down the rocky cliffs, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The sheer force of the falls produced a symphony of sound that resonated through the surrounding landscape. The lush greenery and misty veil around the waterfall created a serene and almost mystical atmosphere. It was a truly enchanting experience, leaving an indelible mark of nature's magnificence.

This had an amazing view of the waterfalls. There was lots of space at the bottom for photos as well as a gate to stop people from going too far in and destroying the natural beauty (even though there were a few people going past it!).
There were also a couple of trail options so you could go one way and come back another, which was excellent.
James Stewart — Google review
Loved that the hike was pretty short and easy even with a toddler. You can get to the lower part of the falls within 15 minutes with a slow to moderate speed. It's mostly flat to small incline.
Going to the upper part for a better requires a further 3-4 minute hike which is much more steep and not recommended with kids.

Bridal Veil Falls is simply a breathtaking natural wonder! I must say that it was an experience that left me rejuvenated and de-stressed. One of the things that struck me about Bridal Veil Falls is its accessibility, I have a bad leg so every time we go for a hike I would prefer a trail or hike that is easy or at least not too steep and this is one was perfect as the trail leading to the falls was just about 10-15 minutes, a little bit uphill but not too bad, the trails are well kept and easy to navigate, definitely a hike for all ages and fitness levels. The beauty of the waterfall will not disappoint, the whole experience is a perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Try to choose non peak hours though otherwise it may be difficult to park. It’s also best to go on a sunny day as trails can get slippery especially if you try to climb up right at the top. There are outhouses right before you start the hike. Make sure you have a camera or a full battery on your phone because you will definitely be taking lots of photos!

These falls are a can't miss free attraction located along highway 1 not far from Agassi and Harrison Hot Springs.
The perfect place to take a small driving break and enjoy the wonders of nature at its finest.
The parking area is a small one way loop type area with some spaces for cars and tour busses, so you should be aware it can be very busy especially during the summer months.
Outhouse style washrooms are located just off of the parking area as well as picnic areas before you enter the trail. The hiking trail is not difficult and splits into two branches,either trail will take you to the base of the falls.
The hike itself is perhaps 10 mins and easy with a slight grade in some places but very manageable for pretty much everybody in your family.
It is highly discouraged to go past the barriers at the foot of the falls, and you will see a bright yellow warning sign advising you not to cross the barrier, however you will immediately notice a large percentage of people climbing past the barrier to scrabble up the hill to get closer to the falls (I did), but be warned ⚠️ It is a steep incline, it's wet and muddy and very slippery with any number of tripping hazards and very sharp rocks and boulders, climbing this you are risking injury and death from a fall.
That being said if you take the risk, the view is amazing.
Trent Omand — Google review
Beautiful fall like the bridal dress. Hence the name of course. A bit of a walk upwards so be careful of someone elderly or someone with a knee problem. It's not gonna be pretty. But if you do make it to the fall it is worth the walk. It's a nicely arranged flow of water by nature. So beautiful.
Mahmoud Nowaz — Google review
It’s a good hiking trail, the Bridal Veil Falls is beautiful! The glacier water is chilling but it feels good to dip your hands and feet in after an amount of hiking, totally cool you down. But I wouldn’t recommend pple to drink the water there unless you brought a filter or you bring home and filter it yourself.

15 minute hike at a slight incline to the falls, wear good shoes, if you'd like to hike UP beside the waterfall be cautious and have proper footwear, it can be wet and slippery. Lots of bathrooms and a few picnic tables, not TONS of parking but a good stop along the way to somewhere not really impressive enough for a main event.

The falls is beautiful. No parking lot, ppl have to park along the street to the entrance. There were 6 washrooms but 5 were closed, the only 1 left was very dirty. Easy short walk to the falls, worth a visit.
Located an hour and 45 minute drive from Vancouver, the Othello Tunnels are a stunning hiking destination featuring railway tunnels carved through a granite mountain in the early 1900s. Though currently closed for renovations due to flood damage, this picturesque site is well worth the visit when it reopens. The surrounding drive offers beautiful scenery, including a stop in Chilliwack known for their locally produced honey.
We went here last fall season and there is not much people walking and there is a lot of parking space.
We also experience visiting this place in summer season and the parking lot is so full and need to wait to get a parking.
There is a washroom in the entrance of the trail.
Overall this trail park is good for kids and old people cause its flat.
Adette Balot — Google review
The park is closed for 2022. We went anyway. Absolutely no work had been done so far to repair the damage caused by a flood. It's mostly going to stay closed for quite a while.
It's beautiful, it's grandiose and it's scary. Loved it.
Sebastien Caron — Google review
Hoping that these reopen soon. During the floods in November 2021 they were badly damaged and there hasn't been an update since. Normally they are closed during the winter season so it will soon be 2 years that they are "temporarily closed".
Originally rail tunnels, you can walk from the Othello parking lot into Hope. GPS does fail when you are looking for these tunnels so keep an eye on the signs, don't trust just GPS. They also get super busy so the earlier in the day that you can go, the better. Especially since they got "Instagram worthy" status so most people will only walk to the last tunnel then turn around but there are a few hikes past them, one has a historic marker that goes up and over the mountain.
Female Abroad — Google review
By far one of the best places to see around Vancouver. It's an hour and 45 mins drive from our place but it's absolutely worth it. It's sad to see the destruction caused by the floods. I believe it's currently closed because it's getting some renovations done and it won't be opening any time soon but can't recommend it enough whenever it opens back up. One of the most beautiful places to see around Vancouver and the drive is great as well. You can stop by in Chilliwack on the way to pick up some honey, they are famous for it.

What a great place to get out and stretch my legs after getting off the island. Parking was a bit touch and go but I was able to get a sweet spot up front. The walk to the tunnels was pretty flat so most people should be able to do it. Just happened to be a beautiful day so the water looked this amazingly blue/green color. Walking over the bridges and checking out the water down below was breathtaking. Highly recommended for all ages and worth the visit. I will be back again on my next pass through..

It was my first best experience. We went to tunnel from kettle valley side which is a long walk until you reach the tunnel but with mesmerizing views n forest walk. Once you reach the tunnel you will see the gates closed but all the people including us trespassed through gate and from that point best part start. It’s 4 tunnels in total with great view at the end n between the tunnels. Make sure to carry torch as tunnels are dark although flashlight will work too but torches will be best. They r open go visit before rain I was there on may 1, 2022

Very interesting place to explore on a weekend. Bring your kids and enjoy the walk in tunnels
You will see lots of scenic views.
It is about 30 minutes walk to get to end of 4 tunnels including photo shooting stops.
Tunnels are constructed in early 1900 for Pacific train. The last tunnel shows 1951 on concrete.
Pro tip is to get to the River and place your bare foot and relax.
Parking lot is not good at all and obviously not enough for the demand. Most probably you will end up to park your car on road side like everyone else. It should be about 6-7 minutes walk to the park gate

Beautiful, really worth a visit, very interesting. I haven’t seen signs telling facts about it though. Lots of people so I’m guessing peak hours on weekends are probably a bit chaotic since parking is quite limited. Went on a late Sunday afternoon and was fine. More shots & videos at @maluzizz.

Beautiful place to have a little walk through incredibly beautiful Rocky Tunnels. There is a gorgeous river running under the bridges that conform the tunnel. To be fair the pictures make no justice to what you will live there.
The only downside is that it is usually closed during rainy season, which in BC is all year.

We went here in fall time 2019 and I remember it was thanksgiving day and we had a big discount on the ticket like we pay $5 per person.
Then the cool part is we are inside the gondola while heading back to the main entrance we need to throw the pumpkin in the window in the ground.
It was nice weather to see the fall color of the tree..
There is a Ice cream store and souvenirs store too.
It was a good experience.

Surprisingly there was more to this just the tram ride! Of course the scenery is spectacular and the views everywhere are breathtaking! There's also some interesting history, some cool educational experiences and 3 great films to watch. There's a great candy shop, a restaurant with great soups and of course a fully stocked gift shop!
Staff were very friendly!
The suspension bridge can be intimidating! Was very windy on the bridge when we visited in June 2022.
It's worth checking out!

This is one great place and history sites to visit.
There are many information about the Simon Fraser River and the six Salmon species.
There is also a cinema where you can watch three historic films about the origin and details of those species.
Do not forget about the restaurant to do some lunch or enjoy one of the best soups I had ever eaten: Salmon Chowder. 🍜
There are plenty parking slot on the front.
Washrooms cleaned and available.
Our crew team are very nice and attentive, congratulations to everyone.
There is a store inside where you can buy many things and another ice cream shop and chocolate bars.

What a great time we had here. The gondola ride down to the main viewing area was smooth and quick, and once down there was plenty to see and read about the rock slide and the area's history. The views are spectacular and walking the metal bridge across the canyon was a thrill - that not all could do!

Loved the experience at Hell’s Gate. Its a short but steep gondola ride to the other side of the river. Once you cross over, you can visit the gift shop, museum, experience gold panning , enjoy the fudge shop or you can simply sit and enjoy the view of the river and the canyon.
There are washrooms available. The staff is very courteous. It took us 2hrs to reach Hells Gate from Vancouver. We went on a sunday and it was not all that busy. It closes for the season in 1st week of October and will reopen in May.

My recent visit to Hell's Gate was truly an experience I won't soon forget, thanks in part to the use of the Airtram. Hell's Gate offers a unique combination of breathtaking natural beauty and adventurous activities, including this exciting cable car.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly staff who warmly welcomed me and provided me with all the necessary information. The airtram is a cable car that takes you on a spectacular ride over the park, offering unparalleled panoramic views of Hell's Gate's stunning landscapes. It was a fantastic way to gain a bird's-eye perspective and admire the vast plains, deep gorges, and towering rock formations from above.

It was amazing experience with breathtaking views. We went around 12 pm and booked in advance. It was not too busy. Tram is going down and up every 10 minutes. Nice history explanation and breath taking views of Fraser river. There is also suspension bridge to have nice pictures and enjoy. There are different viewpoint, little museum, a restaurant, a ice cream shop and a shop. Unfortunately, restaurant. Was closed due to water supply. We had ice-cream. You can enjoy with family and kids. Love this place😍😍😍

While the location is amazing, I want to give a shout out to the staff. Yesterday saw a power outage that shut down the attraction with us at the bottom of the tram. When it first went out, an employee actually dug into her purse and paid for my bottle of water. Says a lot of the character of employees they hire as I can’t see it being a lucrative job. As it became apparent it wasn’t to be a short outage, the team went into their action plan on lowering the stranded trams and ensuring customer comfort. I learned a fair bit about the safety and maintenance that goes on a daily basis there and left with full confidence on how this place is run. Shuttles were sent down to pick up customers to return them to the top and good thing as I’d probably die if I had to hike it.😅
The only disappointment was the power killing the opportunity to get shirts from the gift shop but that’s the price we pay for not carrying cash. So in short to all the staff there, you guys are amazing!!

Great view from the Airtram car. This coming weekend (Thanksgiving) is the last weekend of the season. Travelling there now requires winter tires as of Oct 1st. just an fyi

Nice tram ride and view. More history here than I thought. We were lucky enough to be on the other side when an extremely long train came through and were able to watch it snake it’s way along the side of the cliff and water. Great information on salmon & the design and build of what we now use as a tourist attraction.

Really great experience. Plan to spend some time at the other end of the tram. The bridge gives a nice view. Occasionally you can spot trains through the tunnel also. There is a small restaurant with limited menu. But the food was good.

Apex Mountain Resort is a well-rounded ski destination situated in the west of Penticton, BC. It boasts over 60 named trails, groomed cross-country terrain and four ski lifts. The resort's biggest drawcard, however, is its extensive backcountry terrain which provides ample powder opportunities for experienced skiers who don't want to pay for cat or heli-skiing. Apex is a family-friendly mountain with diverse terrain suitable for all levels of skiers and snowboarders alike.
We went on Monday, which was a really good choice. There weren't very many of us, so there were no lineups, no stress being slow on the mountain, (I'm a beginner), and plenty of help if you needed it. This is a really great ski spot, with so many different level runs and plenty to do if you just want to hang around for a bit. The restaurant was a step up from the usual fast food type, with very healthy choices and not expensive. The rental experience was fast, and easy, and the staff was super accommodating, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic time here and can't wait to go again. For me, a recreational, reasonably decent skier, I found the green and blue runs to be perfectly suited, and I especially loved being able to ski a comfortable run all the way from the top to the village without fear, but still able to build up a decent speed (grandfather run). Nice!

Skiing and the terrain are great. Lift staff/ski patrol are amazing. However, the village was quite the disappointment as we experienced absolute disregard for guests over their holiday season. Most business did not have their winter hours posted and there was no one to contact in guest services - we called numerous times. Definitely did not have the best experience coming here to celebrate our holidays. Definitely would
come again, just on different dates.

Well maintained road up to the hill. They put the effort and investment into getting the season started as early as possible even when weather is suboptimal (or downright rude and teasing). Have been a pass holder for the past 5 years and feel I’ve gotten excellent value out of it!
Z Gates — Google review
Driving - well maintained, narrow paved road from the west, and the road up the mountain has quite a few switchbacks but the road is wider and it's safe to navigate even if you meet another car.
Parking - the parking lot is close to the village which is nice, and the snow is pushed up well
Tickets - we have reciprocal passes from another hill and the ticket process is always smooth but there can often be lineups first thing in the morning
Rentals - we have our own gear now but last year the rental process was smooth and the bunny hill is right outside the exit which was nice
Village - cute little village, with a hillside bistro food window that's super convenient with good prices, not the inflated ski hill prices you might expect. $5.50 for a egg + bacon breakfast sandwich and they even pressed it in a panini grill. Yum. We use the lunch room and bring our own food for the most part. Haven't been in the restaurant yet.
Hill - the chairlifts are kind of far from the village, with a decent slope at the beginning so snowboarders don't have to walk. But if you catch an edge and fall down, forget it - you're walking the rest of the way. :)
Runs - there are only a couple options for greens, lots of nice wide blues and lots of short blacks. To get back to the village there are a few different traverse trails that are your typical cat tracks.
Overall - a fantastic family hill. My kids are comfortable going off on their own and I know they won't get lost. Friendly staff and fantastic snow every time we've been there. Even on a warm day (+1) the snow didn't get slushy, just a bit soft.

1 km outdoor ice skating loop is fun. We only did snow tubing It was awesome the slide is long and with a convoy belt brings you back to top. Kids love it. Highly recommend.

Great snow and people. Lots of challenging runs. Not as long of lines for the lifts as some of the other ski hills in the area. Fast lift and no lines means you get a lot of skiing in.

A fantastic mountain. Incredible skiing, tons of varied terrain, tons of snow. Laid back atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. I had an absolute blast skiing Apex and I can’t wait to go back.

Great spot - we visited for a weekend getaway from Vancouver and would definitely return. Awesome snow, lovely views, and the drive from Penticton sure beats the drive through city traffic to any of the lower mainland’s north shore mts. Good choice of runs for both cautious learners as well as more experienced skiers. The on-mountain restaurant served up tasty lunch options, but there was also lots of indoor seating for those who prefer to pack a lunch. Resort staff were all super friendly and helpful. Overall a good size mountain that retains a cozy community vibe while still delivering an first rate ski experience

Great resort, felt mostly save as a beginner snowboarder, but some slopes are really deserted. Tripped and needed 5 mins to get back up in which not a single person drive by. So dont ride alone. Staff is super friendly and prices are really good. Good variety of slopes too. Had a blast.

Great place for a family ski trip, good skiable terrain and family vibes. Cheaper than Big White, with less party vibe.
Skiing area is large enough to entertain anyone for a few days to a week. There are also cat trips, snow park, tubing, cross country skiing and mini skidoos. My personal favourite is the very large outdoor rink and fire area right next to the tube park. Rentals are available for skates.
The rentals guy were knowledgable enough and helpful. Its also right next to the food court which makes it convienent to drop off eat and come back.
The Bulldog Cafe has a special area for dogs if you have one, and a good selection of food for reasonable prices. The foid court has a decent selection, and one or two places for more high end meals on the mountain.
There are not as many options for entertainment and bars as say other “bigger mountains” but one bar a night is always a fun place to be each night.

Great place to go for skiing close to Penticton not to mention beautiful view from up there as well as close to cross country ski trails what more is there to say on top of everything the road up is pretty well maintained but do be aware it is winter conditions so Drive with the state of the road
Beautiful lake close to Kamloops, easy lake access and boat dock for boats an kayaks. Big lake , downfall always someone driving to fast making huge waves close to SUP s and kayakers :( . One my fav places to spend the day .

Despite the smoke in the air we were able to enjoy our experience. I'd actually say it was advantageous as we were alone when groups are normally 10.
The lines are very impressive crossing the valley each time with various speeds, points of view and lengths.
Drew and Steph our guides were very good at making me comfortable given I'm not adventure seeker and my girlfriend enjoyed herself with an upsidedown crossing 🤙

Guides, Dan and Journey were so fun! I am terrified of heights, but after the first step off the platform, I didn't even notice the height. The views were amazing. The small hikes were made entertaining by all of the jokes and funny displays placed throughout the trails. The staff were very professional and friendly and I felt that they had my family's safety handled expertly.

Wow! What an amazing experience. These are high and long and super fast Ziplines. They are also so comfortable from the harness, instructions and most importantly the ride and braking system. I have done Ziplines at a number of places. This places takes the cake. Our tour guides were top notch funny yet very very safety conscious at all times. Perfect afternoon adventure for my 11 year old’s birthday party with her 3 friends. We signed up for 4 ziplines but ended up doing all 6 as it was so FUN!! Guide Steph even sang Happy Birthday as she Zipped to meet us on last line.. Thank You for the great adventure!

Dirty Laundry Vineyard in Summerland is a down-to-earth and welcoming winery with a fantastic selection of delicious wines. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent, making it a great place to visit. The winery also offers a wonderful patio where visitors can relax and enjoy food and drinks. Additionally, the wine club is worth considering for those who want to access their selections from afar, especially for Calgary residents.
5 stars for ambiance!! The most beautiful patio set up I've seen yet! Especially on a hot day. The wine wasn't my favorite personally but this place is well worth visiting for the patio and pizza alone!! The also have beer flights!

Amazing Experience.
Definitely the best winery experience we’ve ever had! Amazing pergola covered patio intertwined with grape vine greenery and beautiful hanging flower baskets that overlooked the vineyard and surrounding hills. Misters to keep you cool while seated at comfortable patio tables eating from a large selection of cheeses, meats, olives and spreads out of the wine shop or order off the menu for pizza, smoked meats or salad. Vegan options available. Enjoy watching an old fashioned steam engine tour train pass below and over a bridge.
Visit the beer and wine saloon or gelato/sorbet bar.
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The wines tasting flights offered 5 selections. The wine shop had a good selection of gifting options. Family friendly atmosphere yet very classy and comfortable. Must visit winery!

Love that as Wine Club members we can now book a table. Although the food; wine; beer and service, not to mention the views are well worth any wait! Came along for Easter Sunday to while away the afternoon. Picnic basket, craft beer and my favourite Hush Rose paired with the most amazing pizzas. We had a beautiful afternoon. Kristen and her team always make us very welcome. Will be back very soon and many times this year for sure!!

This winery vineyard is one of my favorite in BC. The place itself looks amazing, the building is one of a kind. The theme is hilarious and intriguing. They sell both homemade beers and wines that are all delicious. Prices are affordable. Can get quite busy, better off reserving in case.

Always wonderful! I reccomend this place for everyone. They are not stuck up and they have delicious wine that is absolutely fantastic. They are not intimidating and they are so down to earth. I can't say which wine is the best as I love every single one of their wines and the price point is so great that you can buy lots. This makes their wine club worth it to especially for us Calgary people who can't just drive here to get all of the selections they have. Please visit this place you will not be disappointed!

I was so excited to finally stop in for lunch at dirty laundry. Although the views were wonderful, I found the staff was less than welcoming. To boot, in what seems like an effort to speed up your experience, most interactions are done on a kiosk.
It was one of the first days of spring and I understand you need to train staff, however, leaving us for 5 minutes during a wine tasting to help other customers as your staff did not know how to ring them in, is not acceptable.
Our pizza was also undercooked.
Unfortunately I will not be back.

If you are in the general area of Summerland/Penticton, then you must stop by Dirty Laundry Vineyard. A unique experience accompanied by beer on tap as well as oven roasted pizza, too good to pass up. Wine is great too!
Hockey Mom — Google review
Beautiful location, great patio, and lovely food. The only strange thing about this winery is that it feels oddly cold and automated because you spend more time interacting with technology (order screens and cut-outs/posters) than actual vintners. It feels like a “wine-o-mat”. If you don’t mind that oddity, a great patio to enjoy a glass and bite.

Always good experience, $6 for wine testing, per person Its so so wine n The lunch we share gluten free pizza with Aragula salad. Everything became reasonable price. The ambiance is good
The Penticton Visitor Information Centre, located at 888 Westminster Ave, is a great resource for visitors to the area. They offer maps of local wineries and attractions, as well as information on hidden gems and upcoming events in Penticton and the Okanagan Valley. The friendly staff are knowledgeable and willing to help with any questions or advice needed for exploring the area.
We loved visiting Penticton BC. The SS Sicamous Sternwheeler Museum is Fabulous and well worth seeing. The Historical Museum & Archives was also great. Our ride on the Kelly Valley Steam Train was alot of fun too. Their Farmers Market downtown on Main Street Saturday mornings is one of the best in the Northwest. The town has something for everyone. Large, long and easily accessible Beach at the south end of the lake is great for kids. Lots of wineries in the area if you enjoy wine. Penticton is well worth a visit!

We cycled out purposefully to find out about wine tours. It was challenging to get the information we wanted. One would think that at a place like this you would get advice tailored to your desires. Not so much.
And when I told the fellow that I had almost cut myself on some broken glass outside he seemed to take a very nonchallant attitude. We ended up just going on our own - self guided touring. Actually, the best way to tour the vineyards, I think, is to take a bicycle on the trails! That was amazing!!!
