Stayed on a Wednesday mid-August just for the night while passing thru. There were approx 15 or so other sites occupied so many options to choose from. Campground is very well maintained, quick walk to a lovely creek if you need to cool down or just want to take some nice pics. There was a bit of highway noise into the evening but didn't bother us in our trailer at all. $20 a night is a bargain for this spot.

Old fashioned camping, best for smaller RV's or tenting. A lush forest with creek and trails nearby, nice to stop for a night or two.
Barb V — Google review
Amazing site, friendly staff, best price in town! They have firewood you can purchase, however there is lots of wood to choose from on the ground! Loved it so much here we stayed put instead of moving around like we planned 😁😍
Also, there is decent cell reception here, there's a fire pit and picnic table in every site, and I've been told it's never full so you're pretty much guaranteed a spot. Another plus here is the tiny chipmunks offer a bit of comedy, got me smiling every day! Keep your phone on you when you walk around the camp site because you might miss a cute pic of them like I did ☹️
I give it 5 stars and 5 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would stay here again guaranteed!

Favorite campground. We have been coming here for the past 10+years we have a favorite site! Clean and beautiful well maintained. My youngest son was very intrigued by the banana slugs!
Kelly Marshall — Google review
It is such a beautiful campground! So peaceful. The sites are fully treed. Lots of privacy and can barely see your neighbors. Had no problem getting a site on short notice on Friday of the long weekend. Price is amazing at $25/night! Would definitely recommend.
Kim — Google review
Very glad we came across this place. RV area is very spacious and well thought out. Something for everyone from biggest to smallest 65 site's and the price per night will put a smile on your face. Oh there is drinkable water throughout and a sanitation dump.
Larry Clark — Google review
25$ a night now that they have full phone signal and wifi. Sites are surrounded by trees so you can not see your neighbors. Really clean with a friendly/helpful owner. Plus it is right off the highway so it is a handy stop. I've been coming here for years and there are always empty sites (hidden gem)
If your looking to enjoy nature, yet like to have phone signal, this is the place to go.
Xantrista — Google review
We have stayed at Yard Creek for our family get togethers over a few years. The staff have always been awesome, and a accommodating. The campground is clean, and well maintained. The sites are well treed and fairly private. The creek is right there for you to cool off in. Although this is a rustic campground it has always been a great stay. (Sorry for this late review I meant to submit this last summer)
Mitch Williams — Google review
This is a provincial park and not a commercialized rv park. No showers. Pit toilets only but they're quite clean. Decent cell service (Bell for me). Potable water taps throughout. Some background highway noise but I didn't find it intrusive. Very nice wooded sites - take your pick and self-register for $25. Not at all crowded on a Friday in August. Really nice. Fire ban so no campfires which is a blessing for me as my sinuses don't find smoke particularly good - especially when people throw garbage in to burn. Would definitely stay again. I did hear a train in the far distance but, again, didn't find it at all intrusive.

This was my first ever rafting experience, and it was such a blast! Water levels were fairly low when we went, but it didn't take any thrill out of the experience. Our entire group was smiling ear to ear the whole time. The crew was friendly and made our time really enjoyable. Would highly suggest this rafting company to anyone!! Don't miss out on a lifetime of memories made on Adam's River

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

There were 8 of us and some with no previous rafting experiences. Everyone had so much fun. Thank you to our fantastic guide! Very well organized and professional rafting company! They genuinely care about their clients! They went above and beyond for our trip, for our Ukrainian- Russian group. We enjoyed our rafting trip so much that we are already making plans for the next one. Thank you guys for your high-quality services and standards!

Amazing guide and awesome owner! I have enjoyed my first ever white water rafting very much with Adams River Rafting company. The cliff jumping part in the middle of the ride was extra fun! If you are lucky, might a see a beer on the riverside forest from the raft. Don't forget to float when the guide tells you to.

Your welcomed by an adorable frenchie, the guides are friendly, knowlegable and entertaining with there commentary.
It was good for us first timers and OMG the water felt great in August.
We are all totally going again next year but want to go earlier in the season for an even wilder ride.
My family & I recommend.

We were group of 16 with the age ranging from six year to 70 years old with no previous experience of rafting. The guides/rafters handled us in a very professional way, so we felt safe and enjoyed it at utmost level. I would recommend it to every one who has not tried rafting before and give ADAM rafting a five star. Would definitely do it again.
Tarek Khan — Google review
In August our group of eight ventured onto the Adams River with our wonderful guide Jason. He was funny, very knowledgeable of the area and told us historical facts as we rafted down the river. We had a fantastic time and most of took advantage of the cliff jumping opportunity. We all started off dry, but that didn’t last long. This family-friendly adventure was amazing and the pictures are priceless! Thanks again Jason, we’ll be back again next year.

Absolutely awesome!! We tried another company for our first try at rafting and this topped it by far. Great guides, wonderful location and awesome photos. We can't wait to come again next year!!

A 5 star review specifically for Sprigs of Heather restaurant. We planned an anniversary lunch for my parents, food and drink were great (everything is local), staff was great and the outdoor patio is amazing surrounded by a beautiful garden. Thank you for making it a special event for our parents :)

Interesting place to visit! Had a fun time walking around with my teen and toddler exploring the early Salmon arm days. The playground was a real hit and the garden was absolutely gorgeous to sit and relax by.
The cafe also had some dairy free options which I appreciated and some of the buildings even had AC

If you have an interest in history you have to visit.....staff truly knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with.
Wayne Stevens — Google review
This is a fantastic locale for anyone with an interest in history. There are several replica buildings from the early 20th century which on their own are interesting, but there are also several incredible Indigenous artefacts on loan from local Nations that on their own are worth the visit.
The food was simple and unpretentious and exactly what I was hoping for (try the Shepherd's pie!). There's nothing fancy here, but there's no need either, as what's served is excellent.
A great, family friendly site with plenty to offer everyone.

The R.J. Haney Heritage Village is a great gem of a spot in Salmon Arm. The buildings are either carefully restored or new replicas of historic buildings from the early days of the town’s existence. The Sprig of Heather restaurant is a nice place to eat and has a lovely terrace surrounded by lovingly tended gardens. We very much enjoyed the dinner theatre, and we’re delighted to discover that the actors were also our servers at dinner! It was a lovely evening. We’re going back for a tour of the town and to attend the Harvest festival in mid-September. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

A place to experience the history of Salmon Arm. Dinner theatre July & August, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday evenings. Village & Haney House tours. Walking trails. Special public events through out the season. Lunch specials in new restaurant called "Sprig of Heather"- Wednesday to Sunday. Halloween Spooktacular in October.

A well kept, well interpreted heritage site. We also enjoyed the cafe there. Very friendly staff in costume.
Beautiful spot, SO MANY BIRDS! I think we counted over 15 herons😮 water was low for this time of year and the wildlife was loving it. Nice short walk, cool to see the water levels from years past. I can imagine this place would get busy in certain parts of the year.
Granden and Myra Bertrand — Google review
Really nice place to walk down to the water. There is a little shop at the end. You can see various birds here too. Probably a 10 minute walk back and forth. Water is a bit dirty. There is a dock at the end as well. Careful not to drop your keys or phone through the slots in the boardwalk!
Marta Borowska — Google review
This Canadian beauty is a bit off the highway but very well worth the detour from your trans Canadian drive through the national Park. I'm told in the summer the water is full all the way closer to the main area but even now it's a lot beautiful (fall) with green grass and flowers. Take a walk through the wood bridge towards the jettison and also the park close to the parking area. Bring friends and family or a date. Enjoy the flowers and a sandwich.

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

The first curved wharf I've seen and it's quite dramatic to see how much the water levels change from year to year.

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

It is a really beautiful place to go. The water is really low this year. The picture with all the green, that is usually under water, and the boat dock is empty this year because it is just to shallow. It's the first time l have seen the water this low.

Good place to sit down and enjoy the view. Very peaceful place and looks awesome for fishing (i don't fish but i see lots of people fishing in the wharf). Water events available in the area such as boating.

Aka salmon arm marine park. What a beautiful spot for a break. Large well maintained area with trails, bird watching, sheltered boat launch with truck and trailer parking, long wharf with boat rentals and snack shop at the end. I would say this is a must stop on ant trip to salmon arm.

This awesome Pierre offers great views. During our visit, we were delighted to witness hundreds of mallard ducks enjoying a meal on the small patch of exposed grass nearby. It's just a 5-minute walk to reach the end, and it's absolutely worth it.

This is very beautiful place to enjoy the great views of the Shuswap Lake. One can go for the boating experiences here as the lake is huge. At some point you feel scared when you are boating in the lake but it was fun.

Let me start this off by saying myself and family have been here multiple times. And we've usually had great experiences. HOWEVER:
I unfortunately had to have my grandma picked up by an ambulance this morning, due to Covid, Kidney problems and diabetes. She couldn't walk. 6 hours later they sent her home without warning. And when I spoke to her, she said she was not given any water, and when she had to use the restroom the nurse asked her "What do you want? Now is not a good time you will have to wait." She was not even given an IV, or anything other than blood sugar. she was Ignored, not given any concern. She is an 80 year old woman with multiple SERIOUS issues Including being positive for Covid. Do BETTER staff. I sent her to you because she was sick enough that I couldn't do anything for her. After this, I could have taken care of her 10x better and I am not even close to medically trained. This is completely unacceptable, and if I had a choice I would not bring her or myself back to this hospital, but unfortunately it is our only option. DO BETTER.
Maddy Moore — Google review
Prefacing to say the paramedics were awesome, however I have had a horrible experience here with everyone else. Called an ambulance due to having extreme flu symptoms and couldn’t stop vomiting. After many hours without being checked on in the hospital, I was approached by a doctor who told me it would pass and to go home. I feel like I’m dying and nobody is taking this seriously

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ER staff left me in the dark while I was there. I did not feel safe, nor felt like I was taken seriously. More than 6hrs of violent vomiting, before a wonderful nurse came to my rescue.
For Small Town Waterslides we had alot of fun. The lines were short enough that the kids just kept going on the 4 large slides over and over again. The place was clean and well maintained. The water was very cold so not sure how it would be if it was a cold or overcast day.
Shaun H. — Google review
Fun few hours with grandkids. I think the water slides are getting old, as I had to push myself to get moving on all 4 slides. Note that you have to have cash only for the concession. Change rooms and lockers. Probably best for kids under 12.

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

The place was a Dive! They close slides down at 5:30! Last half hour they want people cleaning up and leaving no sliding allowed. Turned the sprinklers on at 5:50pm to hurry people up! Soaking small kids and moms trying to gather their things. Staff rude! Lines were 30 minutes waiting just to slide, then staff telling people they are the boss and they must go down the slides they tell them to go down even if you want to choose a different one. Threatening me and my kids! Hopefully some new owners can buy the place and turn it around.
C k — Google review
Had a blast with our 2.5 yo son. Slides are kept in good condition. Was great to see a water slide of this style still up and going. Too many have shut down over the years! Staff was friendly, kept order around the park and kept things clean. Water was a great temperature. Lines weren't that long and staff kept an eye on keeping sliders moving at a proper pace. Great little area from young ones that our little guys had so much fun in! A local summer treasure!
Andrew — Google review
It’s okay at best. If your kid is under 10 then great. But over ten only have the four slides to use. The rest has signs everywhere saying ten and under. The stairs are definitely old as you can feel them bend and give under your feet. They only had two kids up to managing all four slides, so it was slow, especially for how slow the park was. I would highly recommend the drive to Vernon as those slides are way better in every way. For the cost and lack of slides we won’t be back. There is also only one tiny little pool to dip in and cool off, which was packed.
Angela R — Google review
Took my Wife and our Granddaughter to this water park in August.The staff were nice... Arcade had one machine that worked? the other 15 were out of order. When climbing stairs to top of slides noticed many rotten banisters. rotten steps as well. when i reached the top i noticed the top landing was slightly swaying.Needs attention asap. Needs some major maintenance , but the slides themselves were fun, the hot tub was just plain gross murky dirty water. and the rest of the park was dirty as well. Needs people doing some kind of cleaning routine, and maintenance program. If they were to do this , could be a great place. Sorry for negative review.Hoping this will get someone motivated to make repairs and changes.
rich armstrong — Google review
The slides were good and the price of food is affordable. Love that. youcan leave and return with your purchased wrist band. I didn't see anyone on the mini golf and I don't know if it's in use, so maybe some additions to kiddie slides would be cool?
Maria Sampson — Google review
Is a fun waterpark, especially for younger kids. The staff were wonderful, there is lots of room to hang out in the sun, and the park was clean and well-maintained.
Only downside is that the slides don't seem to have enough water, so material doesn't slide down them. You need to push up with your heels and shoulders in order to go, otherwise you'll get stuck.
We enjoyed our time but probably won't go again during peak hours as it costs a lot for a family. Better to wait for the discounted 'end of day' price.

1155 Lakeshore Dr W, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4A7, Canada
We had an AMAZING experience tenting here with our two children (ages 9 months and 2 years old). Beautiful beach in the day use area that drops quickly, so you are going to want life jackets for non-swimmers! A bit chilly, as it is a glacier-fed lake, but great on a hot day. We were here the first week of September and it was lovely.
Large camp sites - big enough for 2 tents or an RV. Picnic table at each site. There is a boat launch and a large stretch of beach that you can also launch from if you don't have a boat trailer.
No cell service, internet, power etc. which is great if you are trying to get away from city life. There is a place to charge medical equipment if necessary - check with the staff.
Wonderful experience. My two-year-old has been asking to go back everyday since we have been home. Bugs weren't bad the first week of September either.

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

Really loved camping and exploring in Manel Lake Provincial Park. Beautiful even in September with a pristine lake and campground on the beach. Would recommend for those looking for a place to go tenting or with an RV.

Beautiful, clean campground with washrooms in every loop. Sandy beach. Also has a Cute floating general store close to the boat launch- it's a little ways to hike though and a little hidden. Be sure to follow the signs for directions.

Beautiful outdoors. Trees and grass areas with 2 large beach areas to large lake for swimming. Areas experience. Small store with necessary items. Rent a canoe etc.

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

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

Sizable, old-fashioned outdoor drive-in theatre with double features & a concessions stand.
First time being here and it was amazing! Classic drive-in theatre with good movie choices in the summer. Definitely worth the one hour drive from kelowna;)
The food price was reasonable, cleaned washroom, big parking lot (tons of space for you to choose the perfect spot you want), and great deal for double features!! Highly recommend renting or bringing a radio for a better sound quality.
Also, all staff there are friendly and welcoming.
Will definitely come back again before the summer ends:)!!

This place is so much fun!! I can’t wait to go again. However, I wish they didn’t put margarine in their popcorn butter. That stuff is naaaasty and is the reason why I’ve removed 1 star from a full 5 star review.

WOW!!! This was our first time at the Drive-In and we LOVED every moment! We arrived early (see picture) and there was so much choice on our "perfect" spot to watch the movie. There isn't a bad spot to be found! Brian went out of his way to greet us and we told him it was out first time ;he provided us with information, answered questions and wished us a great time. The movie itself was outstanding, refreshments were tasty and excellent value too! We were so impressed by the friendly, helpful staff and can't wait to go back to to enjoy another Drive in experience! Thank you Brian and your staff! We appreciate your warm welcome! :)

The best drive-in theatre in BC hands down. They have lower and upper parking which is perfect for larger vehicles like RV's and campervans (in my case). Decent concession prices and selection as well!

It is a really fun way to watch a movie. Get there early to get a good spot. Bring blankets and chairs.
A truck is a great way to watch (from truck bed). Concessions are reasonably priced.

This was mine and my husband's first time ever at a drive in theater !
Wow 👏 We loved it !
28 bucks for 2 people and a vehicle, not bad being the only theater open.
We had hotdogs and popcorn both were good 👍 service was excellent 👌
Godzilla vs King Kong was insane! 🤯
Very interesting place to visit with the whole family. The kids would love it as well as adults. The goat coming to take food is such a cute and interesting thing to watch. 25 cent coins are required to buy food for the goat...keep at least 5-6 25 cent coins because with one coin the food quantity will be very less. All will love this experience. The log barn market is huge with lot of organic stuff. It's worth a visit. We didn't know of this place and stopped by chance on our way and were so pleasantly surprised to visit it.

You must stop here if you are young or old. The goat bridge alone is worth the stop, watching the goat work the pulleys to pull up his food is awesome. There are tons of photo ops and the kids will be in heaven. They also have a great little store with gifts, food, and everything a traveler or souvenir shopper is looking for. We had so much fun here and got all kinds of great pictures.

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

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

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

Neat place with an interesting assortment of dinosaurs, dragons and animals. The store has a bunch of souvenirs and some food items, the food truck in front looks really tasty too. Worth a stop on your way through.
Jack Pajak — Google review
We have visited here often over the years with the kids and still as adults
Loved it in the past
However now it seems a bit run down and tacky to be honest.
I don’t know maybe because near season end but needs a paint stain job and the gift area is tiny now compared to previous visits and the pop and ice cream we bought was old and not good.
Toilets were nasty too.
They really need to loose the tacky dragons everywhere and go back to the animal theme perhaps but I guess very young kids love it that way.
No fall decor not a single pumpkin in sight
Great scenery and hopefully just a glitch because we usually love it

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

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

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

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

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

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

Caravan Farm Theatre is so unique, fun, thought-provoking…we saw Blackhorse this summer and thoroughly enjoyed the high quality, professional acting, singing, dancing-as well as the amazing skill of the professional horse teamsters.

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

Unbelievably creative production, with horses taking you around to multiple different outdoor sets to give you an engaging story. Be advised that the show this year is significantly influenced by critical race theory, which might be your thing or it might not be. I didn't let ideology affect my review today.

Love the Caravan Farm Theatre - truly a memorable experience. There is something magical about riding around on horse drawn wagons in the middle of the forest watching live theatre. Super cool. We’ve been going for over ten years and have seen a variety of shows- some better than others. Kudos to the friendly staff, talented actors and amazing horse teams and drivers. Thanks for another great year, see you in 2020!

I love the lights and the old timey feel of hot chocolate by the fire.... and the sleigh ride through the dark, snowy fields. One of my long standing, simple pkeasures of the season and though there are changes... it still feels real and warm and Christmassy. Even better when shared with a friend or two.... or family. Go to an early show and share a meal afterward....

It's so beautiful, and the hike to the pillar is short. But it was a bit steep and scary for me on the way down.
As for facilities, there is an outhouse, but being your own TP. And a small parking lot on the other side of the highway from the pillar hike.

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of Canada’s best all-around ski resorts. Features a wide variety of runs for the beginner, intermediate and advanced skier. In addition has access to excellent cross country and snow shoeing trails. On hill accommodation choices offer mostly ski in/ski out options. A grocery store(with beer, wine and liquor selection) bakery, full ski gear store, cross country ski gear store, and several clothing stores are complimented by a number of excellent restaurants.

We took skiing lessons and were paired with Hamish as our instructor! What an amazing guy. Hamish was patient and very soft spoken as well. Hamish kept helping us again and again because of which we didn’t feel like we were slowing down others in our group (even though we were). Hamish, you made our experience and training worth while. Thank you for the pleasant experience. :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over the course of about 10 days split between the past two summers I worked through my P2 - Novice paragliding pilot qualification with Dave, Terry and the crew at the flight park. The vibe at the flight park is perfect for a summer vacation spent learning a really cool new skill. The facility is very comfortable and hospitable, and the folks around are extremely welcoming for a solo traveller.
The instructors are extremely patient, knowledgeable and safety focussed. Their patience allows people to progress at their own speed and show they're committed to ensuring everyone leaves a safe and competent pilot.
I 100% recommend a tandem flight, intro course or the full meal deal Paragliding/hang gliding student program. It's worth every penny, and you will not be disappointed!

A great school to learn to paraglide. Lessons are flexible, and adaptable around the student's schedule. All flying gear is provided. Great instructors, and a welcoming environment. During the summer, the school's flying site (Cooper's) is flyable nearly every day.
This is also a great place to book a tandem flight and get a taste of paragliding!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Davison Orchards Country Village is a local farm and tourist attraction in Vernon offering orchard tours on a tractor-drawn train, apple picking, a kids' play zone, gift shop and cafe. The place is known for its excellent views of the surrounding area, but some consider it overpriced due to its local status. However, it supports the community and offers delicious treats like coffee screamers and strawberry vanilla ice cream.
Being here again after 6 years, still great place to be
So many homegrown and homemade stuff
I wish we had something similar at home
Huge playground with so many different things to do and play
Different animals to feed
What they can do well as well, making money out of everything, very thought through
The tractor ride is nice, but not really for kids until 10

If you visit the area you have to stop at the Orchards Country. It's not a tourist trap like I thought. We visited in October so there weren't too many people. The kids enjoyed the farm and the animals. The entrance is free and you can buy many local products. Of course I recommend the apple pie and the apple juice.

I love this place so so much. It’s like when you go to the farm as a kid and have that pure feeling of joy? Well, this is it, I have never been happier to see a goat and go apple picking. Amazing staff, beautiful property, delicious food. 10000% recommended.
Note: You MUST take the tractor tour around the orchard, trust me, it will become one of those fluffy, happy place memories.

Visited here during the Labour day weekend and although it was busy, there was plenty of parking. This place is very kid-friendly as it had cute farm animals and a little playground, and even though I do not have children - I still had so much fun!
I stocked up on quality produce from the packing shed to bring back home with me such as zucchini, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, and peaches, which were all fairly priced. I also purchased some kettle corn and carrot cake which were not overly sweet like many places. My boyfriend & I ate lunch here - we got a grilled cheese sandwich and wrap, which was delicious. I loved that these items came with sides like pickles and salsa with chips! Additionally, I liked how there was a homemade ice cream shop on site but I was too full and didn’t get to try it unfortunately.
In my opinion, the gift shop was a bit overpriced - but then again, I haven’t been to a gift shop anywhere that was at a decent price point lol. I would definitely come here again if I am ever back in Vernon.

A wonderful place to visit, no matter if it's just yourself, you & your partner, or have the whole family! Coming from Vancouver after 27 years, it was so refreshing to experience a slower paced, fun, beautiful farm once again. The caramel apple pie & apple juice I had was to die for! The staff are very knowledgable and friendly. I'd much rather support this local, family owned business vs. a corporation any day. If you haven't been here yet, or are looking for a reason to go, this is it!!!

Davison Orchard offers excellent views of Vernon. Some may say everything is overpriced here, but that's because it is a local farm and tourist attraction. Support local, man. we had a coffee screamer and strawberry vanilla ice cream come. Both were delicious.
Kids seem to love it here with the goats, multiple playgrounds, oversized chairs, and the fake jail cell.
People love buying corn here and pies.
They also have their own pumpkin patch in fall.
It's really really busy here on weekends, especially late spring and early summer.
We came here Tuesday afternoon and it's super peaceful. That's where it's at.

So nice to have it while the weather is hot. The apple juice is great.
Kun Z — Google review
We really love this place! The premises are always very clean and well taken care of. The produce here is fresh and yummy, and their apple juice is certainly one of a kind.
I am deducting a star because of two things:
1. The treats you get out of their little machines for 25 cents has reduced in almost half! Just a year ago, you got a hand full of treats that you could feed to their goats, sheep, pigs and so on. Now, you get only a few out, it barely fills my toddler's hand!
2. No more train passes. They used to sell passes for their tractor trains that were affordable and LOTS of fun. We used to come here at least once a week to get a train ride, buy produce and hang out on their playgrounds. It's gotten very expensive to ride their tractor trains and they offer no more passes which usually locals would be to come back more often so I think it's a move that takes away from locals, who probably are the biggest source of income for them.
Other than everything being very expensive here (an ice cream scoop for $7!!!) they do have lots of free attractions for kids and my son loves going here, and loves their apple juice. We'll be back this summer for sure, and we're very grateful they offer such a cute farm experience to their community!
Their playgrounds are so much fun, and they even have toys in their sandboxes for kids to play with.
From the time they open until the day they close, we visit at least twice a month.
I hope they will offer train passes again.

Fantastic place to "bee" in Vernon! They have a small interpretive center, a decent sized store with lots of bee products, and a wine/mead tasting corner.
One of the amazing things at this location is that you can actually sample so many different kinds of honey. This makes it super easy when you want to buy a specific kind of honey!

The tour visit to a bee farm is an interesting place to learn. The speaker precisely explained what to know about the bees, the different kinds of bees and the role they play especially the Queen Bee to the colony including the complete process of creating honey.
The different kinds of honey produced depends on the kinds of flowers gathered by the bees. The speaker further discusses the products they are selling as by-products of the bee pollination. I was hopeful to see at least a bee colony but none.

Fintry Provincial Park and Protected Area is a stunning destination in the Okanagan Valley, offering visitors the opportunity to camp, hike, and experience a dramatic waterfall. The former waterfront estate boasts a restored manor and historic farming buildings that provide insight into the area's rich history. One of the main attractions of this park is its beach access and gorgeous hiking trails that offer breathtaking views of the surroundings. Additionally, visitors can tour the Fintry family home which still stands on the property.
I had the opportunity to see the waterfall with a high volume of water, due to the melting of Terrace Mountain and other peaks. It has been impressive.
Also, it is wonderful to be on the shore of Lake Okanagan with its clear waters and peaceful atmosphere.

Wonderful campground, very clean restrooms. Beautiful and quiet. The campsites No 1-50 is our favorite place to go. Has nice trees for shade.

There is nothing not love about Fintry Provincial Park. There is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Okanagan Valley. Historic farming buildings, a gorgeous hike, camping with beach front access and is just the best.
One of our favorite things is the information of the Fintry their family home is still standing with options for tours! Lots of neat info to read up on before going!
Chalk it up on your adventure bucket list because it's a spot you will never forget!
Check out our website for additional info!

Awesome campsite! Some of the sites are very open, so they can get sunny and hot during the day. There is tall grass separating the sites though so there is still some privacy. Proximity to the lake is great! The staff were lovely and very helpful, and there are some cool old buildings that you can check out in the park!

Wonderful, well run campground. Lovely beachside with two swimming areas and a large, easily accessible dog beach in the middle. Great heated showers and mostly flush toilets. Fantastic playground for kids. There is a strong breeze sometimes from the southwest so be prepared if you are in an exposed site. Loop 1 is the most shaded and loop 2 is varied but right beside dog beach. Loops 3 - 5 are the newest with some smaller trees but the best shower block. Level area so great for easy cycling and walking.

I love this park. It is beautiful and the sites are very big. I've been visiting this park for 15 years. It is excellent for families, boaters, bikers and hikers. The beaches are clean for swimming and there is a dog beach as well.

Beautiful provincial park, lots of campsites, ( There are 5 different sections) the hayfield is the newest & is pretty hot (very little shade🌞) & can be very windy ( I've watched people's tents blow away).. So recommend a RV/trailer in those sites. The park is Family friendly with playgrounds and lots of clean shower houses. The history of the place is really cool. I would recommend the tour of the mansion, a walk up the waterfall stairs, a swim or paddle at the beautiful beaches. Fun for all ages. (Make sure to bring your mosquito repellent!! ( there are areas that they swarm here) and water shoes for the beach. It is a beautiful place

Located in Vernon and Kelowna border. A very quiet and kid friendly campsite. Staff are SUPER NICE and all Facilities are CLEAN.
Campsites are very well maintained. Lots of places to do such as hiking the nearby waterfalls, walk path, beach, boat dock, brand new playgrounds etc.
Note: Gate closes at 11:00 PM but someone can open it for you if needed.

Beautiful, quiet, lakefront, really meets the mark. Public picnic spaces with a boat launch. Dog beach also and 160 sites. Be careful though, most sites over #100 are in a field with no shade far from the water.

So….. I’ll start by saying that this is a nice and unique campground. But, depending on the time of year and where your site is located will determine whether or not you will enjoy your stay. We had the unfortunate luck of camping in an exposed site on loop C site 95. So on top of dealing with a crazy amount of mosquitoes (no surprise since this year has been exceptionally bad) we were completely exposed to the searing heat and sun the Okanagan is known for. We ended up cutting our trip short because it was simply not enjoyable. During the day it was impossible to stay in the tent or sheltered dining area because it was 10 degrees hotter than outside and if you sat outside the mosquitoes would eat you alive. The people that run this place should really consider blocking out the exposed sites to RV’s only and leave the sheltered tree lined sites to the tent campers. This truly is a unique location with a beautiful lake and lots to do for families so it’s a shame that the experience of camping here can be so different depending on what site you get. As others have suggested, planting tree’s for more shade and doing a better job with mosquito control can turn this campground from a 3 star to a 5 star location. In the meantime they can make an immediate difference by prioritizing the tree lined spots for us tent campers. It was just a crime seeing giant RV’s parked in most of the tree lined sites, enjoying the shade, running AC while everyone in the exposed middle sites were roasting in the heat.

Loved this campground! Lots of large campsites and mostly private. Some have less shade. Lots of crickets. Easy walk to the beach from all sites. Lots of history walls with the manor to the old barns. Beautiful views of waterfall. Definitely bring bug spray for the hour of sun to shade. Will be coming back for sure.

This is one of the shorter hikes to be found in this area. However, it is visually spectacular and physically intense. Be prepared for many, many stairs! One of our favourite places to visit. It is a bit of a drive from Kelowna, but well worth it. The drive is scenic and relaxing. There are other hikes to experience along the way as well! Be sure to give it a try if you’re looking for a quick, unique hike!

Gray Monk Winery is a winery located in Lake Country, just outside of Kelowna. The winery specializes in producing Pinot Gris, and they offer tastings as well as an elegant restaurant.
Excellent restaurant overlooking Lake Okanagan. The dining staff are awesome, the food was top notch. Great place to take some photos. Their Brut sparkling wine is incredible.

This was our second of seven stops on our wine tour.

I highly recommend this place too!

It has been sometime since we went to the gray monk and I really don't know why to be honest.. The grounds and patio are outstanding..the food was good the service was excellent one negative was it was warm...and who ever designed the blinds needs to visit the patio and have a dinner to understand what I am talking about the poor staff were fighting the movement of the sun all evening trying to keep quests happy people close wanted it lowered people far wanted it raised.. I think I understand the thought process in trying to keep the views exposed..but it doesn't work...you need full sunscreens not partial cut out or what ever they are...your staff would be less stressed and your guests would be less hot...a few fans over head would also help move some air...you have a great place but this part of it was unenjoyable..

Elizabeth was amazing as she served on me and my husband for Sunday lunch, celebrating us as newlyweds. We had the best corner seat of the patio overlooking the entire winery and lake view. We came to experience the priceless view with excellent cuisine and The Lookout Restaurant at Gray Monk Winery did not disappoint.
*including pictures of the view, appetizer (Burrata & prosciutto), and featured dessert. Entrée ordered (not in pics): tuna tataki bowl, grilled wagyu flat iron.

Decided on an impromptu stop at Gray Monk on our way to Sparkling Hill to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience! Not only were Bruce & Tony wonderful hosts, Tony provided an amazing tasting (and brought us some sparkling wine as a bonus to celebrate!) and offered interesting tidbits about the winery and property. The wine was excellent but the service was even better! When you go for a wine tasting, ask for Tony, you're going to get the best of the best!
Also, if the couple who purchased our wine tasting for us sees this: THANK YOU! A beautiful and kind gesture to add to the incredible day. You will see us again soon, Gray Monk!

While the gentleman overseeing the wine tasting exhibited a somewhat reserved demeanor and lacked the expected enthusiasm, a gracious lady on the staff took the reins, passionately delving into intricate details about the various wines on offer. Her warm and informative approach not only made the experience memorable but also led to my decision to purchase their distinctive white port, concluding the visit on a positive note.

Our favorite Winery from the wine tour. Tony was amazing with our taste session, providing us with detailed information about each wine and made us feel very comfortable throughout our whole experience. Each wine from the merlot to the pinot gris was perfect. So good, that we went back for another wine tasting the next day. If you like a slight sweet white wine, you gotta try the 2021 Reflection.

Day 3 after a reopen, much work needed. Very small menu. We had the Rigatoni and the Chicken breast. Rigatoni was kinda bland, but the chicken was very good.
The tables were so close together that servers had a hard time getting around despite having a large open area that apparently was closed because of a licensing issue... when the tight area filled up they started putting people in the wide open area...
We will give it ONE more try in a couple weeks..

I joined my sister and her friend for their Sparkle & Savour event on Tuesday, May 9th. We had a great time. We enjoyed several different wines, some paired with food, which was great. Marilyn "Merlot" was awesome and very knowledgeable about what we were tasting and provided us with some great tips on food pairings.
Prior to our experience, we tasted a couple of wines with Reese. I had not been to Gray Monk Estate for many years, so Reese provided a great background and history of the Winery for all of us to enjoy.
Thank you for providing us with a wonderful experience!

My favourite tasting of the weekend. My husband and I only visited 4 wineries over the weekend but Grey Monk was definitely the best.
Grey Monk did not accept reservations they only accept walk ins for tastings. We were fortunate to not have to wait and walk right in on a Saturday afternoon.
Large tasting room with plexiglass partitions to protect workers and customers. Marilyn was super friendly and informative. We tasted many wines and ended up buying a dozen bottles.
Don't miss this winery on your tour!
We will definitely return.

Great view, as always! (minus the smoke - not their fault, I promise). Excellent service, delicious wines. Will be back next year again!
2022 update: the service and the wines are still as good as they can be :) No smoke this time around, so a must-visit winery on your Okanagan tour.
Ex Nihilo Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery located in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. They specialize in producing high quality red and white wine, with an emphasis on pinot noir, merlot, and malbec. The winery offers tastings both by the glass and by the bottle, as well as a range of food options that can be enjoyed while enjoying a glass or two of their wines.
Wow! My partner and I went for local wine tastings on the weekend. Ex Nihilo Vineyards provided excellent service in a wonderful atmosphere with a sit-down tasting. By far our favourite of the wineries we visited that day! Love that it’s locally owned, with a lot of passion put into every aspect of the winery. Piper, the winery dog, was a sweetheart and so fun to visit with! We will definitely be back when the bistro opens for the season! Thank you!

Ex Nihilo was one of our stops during our wine tour and we had a good experience. The venue is beautifully maintained and the wines were good. We were happy to try their reds as Lake Country is more known for whites. I am not sure if they were just short staffed or if it’s common practice but our wine guide was shared with another group that was there and it just didn’t flow. Will be back.

Always 5 stars for Ex Nihilo! Their red wines are so delicious. I take all of my out of town guests here. They also do room rentals for small parties. You usually have to sign up as a wine member to do this, but it's totally worth it. Thank-you Ex Nihilo for somehow standing out in a market filled with wineries.

Beautiful property and we heard the pizza was really good. Hoping this was a one-off experience (due to the restaurant tending to a large corporate party) but: we felt ignored and unwanted from the beginning. The host repeatedly over explained it was going to take longer than expected before seating us (we said multiple times we would be fine sitting and enjoying some wine while we waited for our food) to our server unfortunately providing the bare minimum of service. It was a lackluster experience to say the least.
The pizza didn’t take as long as we thought, and had great flavor but would have been better if it wasn’t burnt. (Server was kind enough to take it off the menu). There was however a very delicious cheesecake.

Nice location, friendly staff, good service. We enjoyed the wines we tried. Specifically the pinot noir and the sparkling. Happy hour made the price appealing as well. We sampled a salad, pizza, and main (short rib). All were well prepared and delicious.
Comfortably casual attire was the norm. I would definitely go again.
This winery located in Lake Country, just minutes away from the business district, offers visitors a wide selection of wines to taste. All their wine are hand-crafted and made with care, which is why their wines are some of the best in West Kelowna.
Beautiful grounds and views with delicious and unique wines available. I recommend a tasting to find a bottle you like and then grabbing some cheeses, crackers, and spreads and having a bottle out on the patio with an amazing view of the lake. The Zweigelt was our favorite wine, but everything we tried was spectacular!

Went for an early season, winetasting at arrowleaf recently. It’s an interesting perspective, seeing the winery, and Vineyard very early in the season, complete with snow up on the hills in the background.
We had purchased some Vidal late harvest a few years ago, and during our tasting, the gentleman pouring the wine divulged that this winery may not attempt ice wine in the future, as the climate doesn’t seem to be cooperating where they are located.
Note: the Vidal late season was an attempt at ice wine, but the temperature did not maintain -8°C or cooler while the grapes were being picked.
This is definitely one of the wineries you want to visit if you’re visiting the Okanagan Valley.
Edit: April 2024
Note: $6 per tasting (not waived with purchase of wine)
A few clouds in the skies when we decided to stop in at ArrowLeaf for a tasting today. They definitely have friendly staff. We had a very enjoyable tasting. This place gets better by the season.
We tasted:
Wild bloom (very floral)
Pinot Gris
Bacchus
Pinot Noir (dark, rich)
Pinot Noir reserve
Overall, friendly staff, fantastic view, and really good wine. We will return.

Exploring the wineries around Lake Country. This place is busy!! People lining up for the cream puffs at the bakery and the tasting room right after it opens.
It has a nice picnic area to bring the kids and enjoy the lake view. The cream puffs are delicious and pair quite well with the white wines. There is also a nice patio for you to enjoy the wine, cream puffs, and view. Decide to order three different flights of white wine vs the tasting. Able to sit down to slowly enjoy the wine while taking in scenery.
Would add them to my must go to winery when visiting the Okanagan.

I grew up in the Okanagan and Arrowleaf is my favourite winery to take friends and tourists for their first time doing wine tastings here. Often, it will be where we end the day because the view and the balcony is just beautiful. Their wines are the best out of the three we did today and the service is very accommodating and informative. I love how they allow you to bring your own food and sit in the park area and they also have food available as well to purchase. Absolutely lovely!

Arrowleaf was our fourth of seven stops on our wine tours.
This winery was perhaps our favourite. Following our tastings, we were informed we could purchase the four remaining cappuccino cream puffs.
We unanimously agreed this was the BEST pastry ever. They could just sell cream puffs and get along just fine.
We had a delicious Riesling sample.
Two organized tour groups were late, and therefore the staff squeezed us in.

The service was great, the wine is a bit young and not as developed as others in the area.

Willkommen in der Schweiz! Hailing from Switzerland, the Zuppiger family (Joe, Margrit and 5 children) leave behind their organic orchard snd dairy farm for the wonderful possibilities in Canada. Resuming dairy farming in Alberta for 10 years, the beautiful Lake Country life reminiscent of East Switzerland quickly lured them to the new home away from home.
Purchasing Suncrest Vineyard and the Carter Farm, the Zuppiger farm officially opened their doors in 2003 becoming the second winery in the area. Eldest son Manuel took up the family honour of a 3 year apprenticeship program in winemaking in Switzerland, then honing his skills in the Barossa Valley, Hillside Winery and finally Tin Horn Creek.
Previously producing stunning grapes to Gray Monk, Arrowleaf Cellars has become an award winning winery and an Okanagan “MUST VISIT”! From its namesake Arrowleaf Balsamroot or the Okanagan Sun Flower, a symbol to the dedication of producing only terroir driven wines… you WILL be transported to the idyllic Swiss countryside. 🏆🍷🥂🍇🇨🇭

What a lovely stop in Lake Country. We did not make a reservation on a weekend, but was able to do a tasting ($5! Unheard of in the OK now). You get to try several of their staples and then buy a bottle or glass to enjoy on their patio. Lots of space with a beautiful view of the lake. Pro tip: bring your own picnic as even the glasses will provided by the tasting room! We saw a group had full on lunch basket with cutleries whipped out with a lovely bottle. The fav of the lot was the Pinot Gris - best in the area imo with more depth and complexity than just your usual gris. Will be back!

Came here with a large group for wine tasting. Service was efficient, especially given how busy it was. Staff were friendly and attentive, and they had a good selection of wine to choose from, other miscellaneous items (cards, cookbooks, puzzles), and some food that you can eat on the outdoor patio or picnic tables, along with purchased wine (cheese box, charcuterie box, sweets). Amazing view of okanagan lake!
This family-friendly farm has kangaroos, goats, and other animals that you can interact with. The space is really cool and the animals are so friendly. It's a great place to go for a fun day out with friends or family.
I loved my experience here! I love animals and being able to pet, carry and see the animals was everything. It's a kangaroo farm but there are many more animals here. All were very friendly when approached properly :) When/if they open again it is a must go!

Kangaroo Creek Farm is a fantastic experience for all ages. Not only do you get to interact with the kangaroos, there is many other varieties of birds and animals to see and learn about as well. The new location is so well laid out. There is a food stand in the middle and a fire truck for kids to play on and picnic tables to take a rest. The grounds are divided into 3 areas, which really helps disperse the visitors making it a pleasant experience for all. The caretakers are wonderful at watching the visitors and ensuring the safety of the animals. The animals all appear to be relaxed and healthy. I cannot recommend Kangaroo Creek Farm enough to both locals and tourists alike. But do remember, it is about the safety and wellbeing of the animals first and foremost. So please do follow the rules and understand that the animals need a break sometime too. It can be disappointing if you don't get to hold a sugar glider or have one of the birds on your shoulder, but these care takers know the animals and know when they need a rest. Please do not take your disappointment out on the staff if you are unable to do something. They are doing what is best for the animals. Be kind to all; animals, birds, reptiles and humans alike. ❤️

We always love our trip to the Kangaroo Creek Farm. It was our third visit - first visit to the new location. This location is great - lots of shady trees, lots to see, plenty of amenities, and real washrooms. Get there at opening time - not all the creatures were napping and they were all friendly.

We loved the Kangaroo Creek Farm and would definitely recommend. The gravel/paths/grass can be a little challenging in some areas for wheelchair users but with some help and a couple of pushes you can make it work. There is also no charge for wheelchair users and disabled parking out front. Honestly one of the highlights was the little food truck - the poutine was a generous portion and very flavourful! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable here, taking the time to engage with customers. We'll be back!

There's also a goat area where they just kid around, they're always trying to escape! The other section of the farm has birds, reptiles and a porcupine, and some more animals. Food trucks, ice cream and good washrooms means you can stay there for a few hours of fun.

Great place to see all these beautiful animals and birds. Lots of parking spots, might get busy during holidays and weekends. The kids would love it. The tickets for adults are 20$ each. There are many kangaroos, wallabee, peacock, emu, ostrich, reptiles, birds, fish and many more. It is recommended to spend some time here, in the patio, tables and benches, have some food, walk around. There are food stalls inside the location and a gift shop. Do bring your shoes.

My visit to Kangaroo Creek Farm was an absolute delight, and I can't praise it enough! This farm offers a well-organized and heartwarming experience that caters to both kids and adults, making it the perfect family adventure.
One of the standout features of Kangaroo Creek Farm is the level of care they provide to their animals. From the kangaroos and pigs to the goats, porcupines, parrots, and sugar gliders, it's clear that each animal is well looked after and loved. All the animals were incredibly tame, which allowed visitors like me to get up close and personal with them.
The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, ready and willing to answer any questions. I must give a special shoutout to Alex, who works in the parrot section. Alex's kindness and enthusiasm were evident, and I learned so much during my visit.
And if you're feeling particularly adventurous, there's even an opportunity to hold a snake, which was a unique and thrilling experience for me 🐍

If you are looking for something outdoors but not necessarily athletic that everyone can enjoy in the Okanagan, the relocated and expanded Kangaroo farm is a wonderful multi-generational fun place to visit.
There is plenty of parking available and once you are through the gates, there are several sub-areas divided off with different animals ready to meet you. At the entrance to each of the sections there is an employe who can tell you about the animals there and offer advice on how to feed them, and even give you bits of their food.
For very small children there are playground equipment pieces here and there to play on. There are picnic tables and benches to sit on (outside the animal areas). It is beautifully landscaped with many places for shade and a lot of flowers and interesting farm and other artifacts around for pictures.
The animal handlers all seem knowledgeable and interested in what they add doing, and enthusiastic about helping the visitors to connect with the animals in a safe way.
There are many more animals than kangaroos to see here. Plan to spend a few hours if anyone in the family is an animal lover! We went on a cool and somewhat drizzly day and the animals were all very active. Don’t let the weather hold you back!

This place was absolutely amazing! To get to pet a porcupine and other animals I never would have been able to anywhere else was simply amazing! And let me just add, the fact that the staff who were doing repairs and other things would come up randomly and give details on the animals you were standing near at the moment, was amazing to me. Just out of nowhere they would appear and tell you the animals given name, their ages, and the history of that animal, then next thing you know, they were gone and off doing whatever it was they were in the process of doing. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. That's the part that made things even more amazing to me.

The Animals are adorable and the staff are really friendly. When I went, I thought there was going to be 5 max, but I was surprised to see over 40 kangaroos in the park. The Capybaras are nice and friendly. The Sugar Glider Claws are surprisingly sharp and painful. But they were so damn cute. The lady at the front was one of the nicest people and the staff were knowledgeable and funny. It’s truly a 10/10 experience.

Recently visited Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna, and it was an absolutely amazing experience.
The highlight of my visit was, of course, the kangaroos! It was incredible to be able to get up close and interact with them. The staff was very knowledgeable and took the time to educate us about the kangaroos and their behaviors, making the experience not only fun but also educational.
In addition to the kangaroos, the farm is home to a variety of other animals, including peacocks, goats, and more.
The farm's setting itself is picturesque, with beautiful views of the surrounding. The only issue was the loud noise from the Airplane and helicopters from the nearby airport.
Overall, Kangaroo Creek Farm exceeded my expectations in every way. The friendly staff, the opportunity to interact with kangaroos and other animals all contributed to a memorable and enjoyable visit. I would highly recommend Kangaroo Creek Farm to anyone visiting Kelowna—it's a 5-star experience that shouldn't be missed!

My favourite part of visiting Kelowna for a long weekend was the Kanagroo Creek Farm. I thought visitors could only look at the animals in their cages, but at this farm, you can get up and close with the animals and even feed some of them like the kangaroos and the wallabies.
There are two sections to the farm with one section with kangaroos, wallabies, goats, chicken, rooster, peacock, and the other section with emu, porcupine, birds, rabbits, and capybaras. You must go to both sides but only the side with the kangaroo, they would give you popcorn to feed them. We had such a great time here and spent nearly two hours just walking around and looking at the animals, petting them, and even feeding popcorn to the kangaroos and wallabies.
There was also a food truck that serves burgers and snacks, and a play area for kids in the middle. Would highly recommend visiting for those who are animal lovers! It was $20 admission for adults.

If you are animal lover, you must visit this place!! You can tell they have been taking good care of these animals, they look healthy and satisfied! We spent 2 hours in this farm to just watch, chill and hang out with these animals, such a healing experience. The porcupine is the cutest thing ever too.

This is really nice place to hang out along with children. They would love to feed the animals and spend time petting them. We had our best time with our daughter, she was so excited to see the animals so close to her.
There is small eatery inside, you can enjoy some burgers. It is not a huge place and the entry time is $20 for adults, however the money is worth it and required for them to maintain this place and animals.
We were able to spend say 2 hours here, it is really beautiful and well maintained.
The Vibrant Vine Winery is a unique winery with an art gallery and live music in the summer. They offer award-winning wines, Phil Lewis 3D Art, and Jackos lounge.
As the name says the Place is Vibrant and the wines are Vibrant. Staffs are really amazing. You will be given a 3d glass to enjoy the art. Never miss this place if you are in Kelowna.

What can I say? A very unique experience. Upon arrival we were given 3D glasses. All the artwork are 3D which makes for a really great experience. Monique our server was fabulous, knowledge and a great joy. Definitely highly recommend visiting this winery.

Vibrant Vine Winery combines the usually over the top wine tasting experience with fun 3D artwork that you can view throughout its two-story space. Parking lot is on gravel and you walk down a few hundred metres to the building. Once inside, the person will give you a pair of 3D glasses that will enhance your viewing of the artwork throughout the space. Wine tasting is $15, but you get $10 discount on your purchase of a bottle of wine. Although we didn’t try out the wine, we got recommendations for two bottles which we purchased along with a disc golf that had an artwork that we really liked. I believe there are also spaces upstairs if you would like to rent to host parties and other gatherings.

If you are looking for bougie this is not it. If you are looking for fun, friendly, and vibrant, then this is the place to be! Relaxed environment, welcoming staff who love telling the story behind the winery and the wine and hearing your story. Great place for a levels of wine drinkers. Bonus, wine tasting cost is given back in a coupon you can use for your purchase. Lots to look at with the show room and walk through the art gallery. Outside there is a courtyard where you can spend some time hanging out with friends, drinking wine, listening to live entertainment, and enjoying a fire oven cooked pizza. Don't forget to try the 'whoopscicle' on a hot day. Kid friendly. Save time on your trip to Kelowna to visit this winery!

A pièce of art a very colorful and joyful winery fun to go and to be around a lot of art work. Once you enter they give you glasses so u can see the 3D art work made by the owners son. You just cant get enough out of it. The wine itself is decent and the service is great. I had the chance to do the wine tasting and check the upside down winner bottle. This wine is not like any winery in Kelowna it’s uniquely magical.

Wow what a fun and awesome winery and the concept with the art infusion is genius. I really enjoyed my time soaking in the wine tasting experience with Monique. She was super accommodating with our toddler joining us for the tasting. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness with providing a colouring station. The wines all tasted wonderful, but we left with 2 bottles the rose and Oops. Overall, this is a must visit winery and I’m surprised I hadn’t come sooner! If you’re in Kelowna you should definitely visit!

What a wonderful place! Vibrant really is the best way to describe this winery. Upon entry you’re given 3D glasses to better experience the art on the walls and labelling on their bottles. Everyone is attentive and knowledgeable, and your $10 tasting fee is credited towards a bottle purchase.

Fun place to spend some time, even if you’re not super into wine! The art is unusual and very cool to look at (with or without the 3D glasses), and there’s live music in the garden most weekend afternoons and a “snack shack”. The wines are also great and the staff are friendly.

Not a pleasant experience with staff , went for wine tasting and most of the wine we tasted were a bit blank, under served and lack of flavour. Definitely there are better places from our experience in Kelowna . Had a 3D art hall which was different from other wineries .

Right off the bat the staff were super friendly! My group went in for a wine tasting ($15) and paid the extra $5 to taste the ice wine.
We were served my Monique and had a great experience! Fun stories behind the wines and an overall engaging tasting. The Riesling is served in a dark chocolate glass which you can eat once you’re finished! Our friend who was wasn’t drinking was also offered a dark chocolate cup to enjoy which was very nice :)
With 3D glasses, psychedelic art and edible tableware, it’s hard not to recommend this place

You have to love the 3D artwork that's on display. Even the sleeves on the bottles can be viewed with 3D glasses that they provide you at the door. Our sommelier, Diana, was awesome. She was entertaining and full of information. Our favorite wine was the Dragon Merlot, but it is a little pricey. Do head down to the Snack Shack for the wine popsicles. Very refreshing.

Unique vineyard, well worth a visit. If you are into psychedelic art that can be viewed with 3D glasses this is the spot for you. We did tastings with Paris, she was excellent. The best host we have had so far on on our trip for wine tasting. She was funny, great at describing the wines and made you feel right a home. Great service. Everyone we met there was wonderful. The wine is also fabulous. We loved Oops the best, and we won’t spoil the stories behind these incredible wines - go find out for yourself.
Aimee Taylor — Google review
Wow! So much fun. To start with:
The grounds: gorgeous view and so much space for all the grapes, you could spend hours walking through. Then the little garden with Pizza, Popsicles and live music on the weekends! A beautiful little spot with plenty of chairs and even space for the little ones to run around.
I went for an art class and had to most fun so what their website for Dot Art With Dawn cause she does an amazing job and it’s the perfect way to spend a weekend.
Then the fabulous wine! I was served by Barb for the class and she was the sweetest! Then upstairs I had a fabulous tasting with Monique! She was insightful, led the tasting smoothly and was so funny! She made the afternoon, I was having so much fun already but she was a cherry on top. The Vibrante Rose might just be my new go to and I had to pick up a bottle. I also splurged on the ice wine that comes in a little chocolate cup. Monique shared her knowledge of ice wines with me and now I’m going to start trying them everywhere thanks to her (but I doubt I’ll find one better)
Then we have to talk about the artwork. If you know vibrant vines you know their gorgeous bottles but the entire building is filled with gorgeous works of art. You get a pair of 3D glasses and everyone of them comes alive, I got postcards for my whole family.
All together Vibrant Vines makes for a lovely afternoon and is a must see Kelowna winery!
The Myra Canyon Adventure Park offers a variety of activities for the whole family, such as zip lining, tree-top courses, and climbing routes. The park is located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.
It is an awesome place to go visit, lots of tree course challenges available to have fun with. They have got mild courses which would be more comfortable for kids and those afraid of heights(for all age froup). They have tree courses for adults and 7 different levels to choose from. Go check it out, and you will have your adrenaline kicking in to complete the entire course. Fantastic and funtastic!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣💪💪

Came here just to check it out and this place definitely exceeded my expectations. The kids spent hours on end totally wearing themselves out. The hard work and ingenuity that went into this place is mind-blowing in the staff is great. We will be back for my daughter‘s birthday party as they have barbecues and picnic areas. (I don’t recommend this place if you’re not willing to push yourself physically and/or work up a sweat, aka pre-madonna 😏)

Incredibly fun and a beautiful view of the canyon. Easily accessible for kids, teens and moderately active adults. But climbing does require upper-body strength and stamina, so get those reps in before going (looking at you, Mom and Dad ;)

This adventure made our trip. My boys loved it. This is truly nature at its best.
I struggle with a muscle disease and I voiced my concern to Matt and Nathan and they looked after me so well. They made accommodations for me to successfully finish the tour. They are so knowledgeable and experienced. I felt I was safe the entire time because of them. This tour challenged my boys who are athletic, yet they made accommodations to get me through.
Thanks for helping me to make one of the most memorable moments with my boys! 😊

This is a new addition since the last time I visited Kelowna and decided to drop by with my son. Was worried that it would be outside his skill level but at 3 years old (almost 4) he was just about to do all the activities and even did three laps. Was a pretty relaxed atmosphere with kids enjoying the area and parents walking.
The staff was super pleasant to talk to and get him ready to go out. Overall it was a great way to spend an hour and a half and to burn off some energy.

Super fun! What a blast when spending time here. We did 7-course of different difficulty levels (boy the 7 one was a struggle) and the 3 -course zip line (we ended up redid the zip-line many times just for fun. The view was breathtaking, especially the view of the whole mountains on course 4, so beautiful. There are different areas for kids if they want to attempt the rope climbing (with safety net for every course so parents won’t be worry every time their kids attempt to cross the obstacles. Anyway, we had super duper fun here and will recommend people to try it out!

Next time we will bring lunch (they even have propane grills) so that we can stay longer.

Really loved this place up in the hill and away from the normal rush. Lots of room to explore with helpful staff and courses and activities that can pose a challenge. What I liked most is that you can get as much or as little help as you need along the way. It allows you to find your own way and gain that sense of accomplishment.
Quails' Gate Winery is a winery located in Kelowna, British Columbia that offers wine tours, tastings and accommodations on the property. The winery was founded by Gary Quails, who also owns and operates the Old Vines Restaurant on site. The winery has received awards for its wines, and is popular among tourists for its scenic location and award-winning wines.
One of the highlights of the trip! I would highly recommend the lunch special 3 course with matching wine pairings. Was outstanding as was the service of Kelly. The Okanagan was amazing for, but this ranks as one of the top locations we visited!

I am writing to commend our server, Amy, at the Old Vines Restaurant. We had dinner there for our anniversary and in all honesty, she provided THE best service I have ever had and I am not young!

Recently my company rented a private room for our Christmas gathering. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine pairings were lovely and the portions were very generous. The service was second to none.
My partner and I arrived early so we decided to partake in a wine tasting prior to dinner. Lark looked after us, and treated us like royalty. She was very professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She made the experience unforgettable, and was the best tasting experience I have ever had, and I have been to every winery in the valley.
My only suggestion would be for you to invest in a large round or oval table, as it is better for socializing. Some of our team members we don’t get to see very often, and some of them live out of town, so it would have been better to see and talk to them throughout dinner in this type of setting.

Had the pleasure to visit Quail Gate Winery and had to say that is one of my favourite spots when in Kelowna.
Please make reservations, give yourself extra time to enjoy the grounds, make sure you do some wine tasting and take good wine home.
If you get a chance please checkout their restaurant. The food and desserts are out of this world. You won’t be disappointed and will leave with a smile.

This winery I was very excited to see, as many of my friends recommended it. Maybe I wasn’t lucky and what I experienced is not the norm.
The service and staff were so awful that I cannot even remember the quality of their wine. They treated us as if we were asking to try their wine for free.
I belong to the hospitality industry and perhaps look at the operations with a different mindset. Our server seemed a bit lost, not being very detailed on what she was giving us to taste, but what I disliked the most, was that she was wearing a dirty uniform.
The other ladies in the front, were not welcoming at all. Since there were covid restrictions we are asked to stay in our tables and not move. I went to take a picture on the Quails Gate sign and I was yelled at. ( I attached the picture 😂) the camera capture the moment were I turned.
Terrible experience, the only nice thing was: the view 😍 and we still took beautiful pictures together. We made the best out of it.
I do not recommend them. But you may have a better experience than me.

We had friends visiting from England and Quail’s Gate was on the list as I had been there before and the quality of wine, views and vineyard I knew would impress.

She was very professional and knowledgeable, explaining each wine we tried, answering each of our questions, offering recommendations based on our individual preferences, and giving suggestions on what best to pair the wines with. We purchased some of the wines we tried and are excited to have them as recommended by Gabby! The atmosphere here is always friendly and beautiful. Thank you for such a great experience!

On Feb 18 2024, my long time friend reunited with me at Quails Gate to have wine and lunch to grieve for my mom who had just passed. We did a wine tasting with Lark and she must have sensed our vibe. She served us well and when we were in discussion, she sensed when to not talk to us about wines. Some wineries have staff that prioritize their presentation. Lark sensed when to interject and struck the perfect balance. She was lovely. Thank you to Lark!

Dinner here with my wife and friend. Been years since my last visit. Our server, Brett was the ultimate professional. Friendly and prompt, also accommodating. We ordered 2 appetizers, a half bottle of gewurtz, 3 main dishes for each of us and the suggested wine pairing for my risotto. Dinner was a wonderful experience. Great ambiance though there were a few loud, slightly inebriated dinner guests nearby whose voices carried throughout the entire place. Nevertheless, enjoyed the meal and definitely a must for when you’re in the Kelowna area.

We were recommended Quails gate for a wine tasting tour, hence we did it. The overall experience was below average and there was no energy in the tour. Our guide was not very friendly unfortunately, she did not address us with the other groups, also forgot to pour us the wine when we were standing right there, we felt neglected.
I’m guessing it depends on who your tour guide is and your experience can vary.
I wish I would have just walked in like others and did the normal tasting, the tour was a flop.

We checked the reviews on Google map before we chose the winery. I called and tried to make a reservation but failed since no one answered it. Two clerks were chatting behind the counter when we arrived the hall but they didn’t care about us. We waited for a while and I had to ask for help. We chose the wine tasting, but too bad they didn’t offer any snacks to go with the wine.
It’s a lovely place with spacious and well-decorated indoor space. The grape wine field is really gorgeous. We appreciated it a lot.
There were many guests that afternoon and we had a very nice girl helping us with the wine tasting. Unfortunately, the white/ red wine we tried wasn’t satisfying. Some of the red wine was bitter, how disappointing.

Took some friends visiting from the Prairies for a wine tasting at Quail's Gate yesterday. It has been a few years since I had been there and had forgotten how the beautiful views are from the winery and how lovely the wines are. The staff who greeted us at the door were attentive and got us set up right away for our tasting on the balcony. PAULA, who facilitated our tasting, was welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the wines. She even provided us all with large glasses of ice water before starting the tasting, which was really appreciated on such a hot day.
I (and my guests) loved the wine and the whole experience. We will definitely be back. Thanks Paula and Quail's Gate!

The price for wine samples was the highest that we paid in the valley. We paid for the first level which was $15 and I like bold red wine so bought the third level at $35. One of the reds from the first level was also in the third. I found that to be misleading. But the wines we ok at best.
From doing sampling at Frind and Cedar Creek Quails Gate was a level below in flavour. My complaint is the price they charge for the tasting.
Both other places were $10 a person and if you purchased , the tasting fee was free. That is not the case with Quails gate. We purchased wine at all 3 wineries. But will never go back to Quails Gate. You have out priced your wine tasting. Do a survey of your competitors, you may be surprised.
I will definitely share my story and already have.

This review is a tad bit overdue, but necessary.
My family and I came to our reservation in July 2023, which we booked months in advance; We had friends from out of town join us (party of 2).
When we arrived at the restaurant the initial hosts had no issue with us trying to sit together, it was the assistant manager that made a material issue out of the matter.
I sat there discussing potential seating options with the assistant manager, who after much negotiation gave us a larger table inside (FYI, we never asked for a patio table, they allocated that to our original four top).
I completely understand during the summer months how busy the restaurant can be and how limited seating can be, however the day and time we were there, there were open tables for the duration of our 3 hour stay and our $700 bill.
The assistant manager that we dealt with was one of the most antagonist people I have met in any of the wineries that we have been to.

Located in the Okanagan Valley, Mission Hill Family Estate Winery produces award-winning wines from five estate vineyards. The winery has a 12-story bell tower and European architecture, making it one of the most prominent wineries in the area. The estate also offers tours and wine tastings, as well as being home to an amphitheater and restaurant.
Our afternoon at Mission Hill was most enjoyable. Our host Phoebe took us for a tour of the stunning property and down into the wine cellar before bringing us to our seated tasting. Lovely wines paired with delicious bites in a cozy elegant room with a blazing fire. Superb beginning to our Valentines weekend. Thank you Phoebe!! ❤️🍷❤️

A beautiful location with impressive views. Entering the premises you’ll notice the grounds are very well tended, large items of artwork are dotted around leading to the main area with some impressive architecture. As well as an on-site shop to purchase wines and gifts you can learn about Mission Hill by taking a wine tour with optional dining after. Pre-booking is essential. It’s worth noting that this location is more of a ‘show’ winery and not a working one, not that it made a difference to our visit.
The dining experience with wine pairings is a marvellous way to finish your visit. The food is all locally sourced and each course is meticulously crafted. Definitely a great place for a wine enthusiasts or to celebrate a special occasion.

Worth the visit even if you’re not tasting. The property has a wonderful view and even better in the spring/summer. It’s massive and well kept, the tasting and sales department also have their signature products as well as some items that are exclusively available there. There’s also seemingly a display of the family’s personal collection of designer products
Well decorated, friendly staff, and will definitely come back to visit another season

This property is breathtaking let me just start by saying that. You can do many wine tours in Kelowna, but I recommend you don’t when it comes to Mission Hill, you must put a nice day aside and come in for a good lunch, taste their wine and walk the grounds.
It truly is something you need to chew on and not do in a hurry. Beautiful views, grounds and the wine to die for. Did I mention they have an amazing menu and the food is amazing.
Hope you don’t miss this hidden gem and you visit it’s amazing place while you are in beautiful British Columbia.

Mission Hill in Kelowna, BC is an extraordinary place that should not be missed!
From its stunning architecture to the captivating interior design, every aspect of this winery is a testament to its excellence.
Each wine has a fascinating story behind it, adding to the overall experience.
The staff at Mission Hill is truly amazing, providing exceptional service and ensuring a memorable visit.
The attention to detail and organization are evident throughout.
During our private tour with Natallie, she showcased her brilliance and made my birthday experience truly unique.
The tastefully decorated tasting room added an extra touch of charm.
This visit to Mission Hill Winery will forever remain the most memorable event of my trip to Kelowna.

I am no expert on fine dining, but the experience at Terrace restaurant in Mission Hill gave me a completely new feeling about this. From the beautiful ground to the knowledgeable staff, the cutlery they use and the display of food to the food and wine pairing, you can see a lot of details and thoughts been put into the experience.
I thought a perfect paired food and wine fine dining experience is not just about the food and wine. It's about the ambiance, the service, and the attention to detail. It's about the experience of being taken on a journey that engages all of the senses. It's about creating memories that will last a lifetime. And I feel that’s why this experience in Mission Hill is called “Lasting Legacy”.
Experience it yourself if you are visiting Okanagan this summer, recommended.

If I have to be honest here. The place is really pricey and if you are looking to do a tasting it might not be the place to do so. The tasting is really pricey. The place itself is really commercial and it seems like making great wines are not the priority but instead the emphasis was put on giving you a more sophisticate experience to taste simple wine. I will be brutally honest the wines are not the greatest for the price. I could definitely taste that the wine itself was a bit more refined but in my opinion the price was not worth it for what it was. view is nice if you want to take any pictures.

One of the most famous wineries in all of Kelowna. I enjoyed the visit in the cellars, the history of the family, the business and the views.
Highlight for me was the actual time in the tasting room - we did the experience that included a food pairing with each wine
Of course this was a bit more expensive but it was nice to splurge on one of the most famous wineries in the area
I loved loved being greeted with a glass of wine too! Gets you in the mood / head space right away.
Our tour guide, Adrian, was very nice. She was knowledgeable and patient as we moved through the estate
The only thing I would have wished for was there to be actual grapes or vines on the tour. I feel like everyone wants that iconic photo in between some vines and unfortunately the ones that they have near the front of the property, I assume for photos, were all bare. I understand this was probably beyond their control - but worth noting if you plan to visit.

Summerhill Pyramid Winery is a winery that offers tours and tastings of organic and biodynamic wines. In addition to their wine offerings, they also have a bistro and an aboriginal gallery. This winery, located in the central Okanagan Valley, is known for its short-but-intense growing seasons and cold winters, which contribute to their award-winning sparkling wines and Icewines.
Amazing service everyone was so friendly and helpful, my mom is in a wheelchair and has Huntington's and they were very accommodating. Food was phenomenal fresh and flavorful!!! The wine is next level y'all!! The winery is a site to see and I can't wait to return for tastings and more food this summer!! I highly recommend making this part of your winery tour or lunch/dinner for the day!

Sensational wines and the best value tasting I have come across in multiple countries. $11.50 for 4 samples, although I was served 6 on a quiet Friday afternoon, including a $188 per half bottle ice wine. And no pressure to purchase wine, although if you do the tasting is deducted from the price.Lovely location, great views, and the lady who served and chatted to me was lovely. Very highly recommend a visit.

Last weekend I tried for the first time their Bistro and I've been positively impressed with the food. The "Garden" board was excellent and the pizza too: the dough was thin, crunchy and light (I'm Italian, I'm picky when it comes to pizza doughs 😉). The wine selection is good, I personally had a glass of their organic Syrah and i really liked it.

Looks like only organic/biodynamic winery around lower mission. Dog friendly (inside too!), have gallery and a little shop. Visited for a wine tasting (10$, don’t need to pay it if you buy a bottle), haven’t tried their bistro yet. Check out the pyramid, it’s open to come in and peak inside. And of course, amazing views!

Very cool place if you are a wine lover. I would NOT recommend you go eat at their bistro, their service is so slow. We only got the appetizers and it took an HOUR of waiting after appetizers that we decided to leave. Also, their menu selection is very limited in terms of options, only 4 for both appetizers and entrees.

Plus points are that they have electrical car chargers on the property and it's free charging, and the views are spectacular. However, it's just too crowded with busloads of mainly Chinese tourists. We didn't get to do any wine tasting. The much talked about pyramid was actually a disappointment. There's really nothing to see inside or much of an explanation as to how it enhances the wine although we've heard stories about it before venturing there to take a look.

Truly excellent lunch to be had here with a selection of their own wines. What we drank was indeed extremely good wine.
There is an opportunity being missed to offer a full tasting menu. And as a comment we chose the winery as sushi was advertised on the website but was no longer available in house. Children’s offer was nothing less than limited. A pasta.
Equally wines are not cheap by the glass so we had only one glass.
The terrace offers superb views if the lake while we ate.

Free tasting with any choice of their wines, which is a huge plus. The only thing was that it felt like a little bit too touristic. There are a lot of signage with Chinese and other languages, which are meant for all the tourist buses that visit.... free entry into the pyramid. Was a cool building but seemed to be a storage for the cases of the wine... spectacular view of the lake

One year ago today my husband & I had our elopement at Summerhill Pyramid Winery. Not only is Summerhill one of the most beautiful venues for a wedding…but the staff was absolutely unreal at taking care of us and making sure our elopement was perfect! Nicole was so kind and helpful right from the first email, made it easy to postpone due to covid restrictions, calmed our nerves about the weather forecast, rolled with it when we were an hour late for our ceremony, helped me before walking down the aisle, helped with our sabrage and even accommodating us with a late bistro seating!
Our wedding was more than we even hoped for and it may not have been if it wasn’t for Nicole & the other staff! From the bottom of our hearts….thank you!
Also, the bistro staff were amazing! So kind and helpful and even held our food so we could sneak away from the table for a few more pics between ordering and eating! The food was absolutely incredible and the dessert was a wonderful and delicious surprise!
So again….thank you to Nicole and everyone at Summerhill who made our day so perfect!! We can’t recommend them enough!!!

READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO!!!
Oh. My. God. The Bistro Restaurant was absolutely an abomination to anyone who loves food. I cannot stress this enough, do not eat here. I am not picky whatsoever, but this was horrible. Charcuterie they charge like $45 for and you get what was pictured 😂. A loaf of bought bread, a few slices of meat, some nasty cheeses and jam. The pasta hard like stale sitting out all day, lacked flavour and was cold upon arrival. The vegan calamari (oyster mushrooms) were burnt to a crisp- was just deep fried mess. The view was amazing, our wine we bought was good and so was our server! But most definitely do not come here hungry- severely dissatisfied and disappointed as food would make a winery’s experience all that better..

I had a reservation, when I arrived with my family we waited more than 15min for someone to come and assign our table . The hostess saw us and she just didn't care . She was not friendly at all . She said she didn't have our name on the list but she didn't even asked for it ...
Despite the rude hostess our waitress was a very friendly, kind and professional person.
The dishes are not tasty at all , they look beautiful tho but there's no flavor. Come to this place if you want to take beautiful pictures of the place and food but don't expect a delicious dish. Wine and cocktails are great. Expensive for tasteless food. Excellent for the views, wine and place .

Went in for a bite to eat with friends. There was one staff running the bistro and she only had one table seated. She told us to go pay $50 in wine tasting because she couldn't currently handle us and needed time. We tried to be seated after a few minutes in the gift shop and she still wasn't able to do her job of being attentive to more than one table at a time, so we unfortunately left. Disappointing for what's supposed to be a high class winery.

We were so incredibly lucky to secure Summerhill for our wedding. Not only is this one of our favourite wineries in the Okanagan, but hands-down, the most iconic, beautiful wedding venue you’ve ever set your eyes on! The food… OH. MY. WORD!!!!! We are still dreaming about it today, months later. Livi and her team are insane… we honestly felt like royalty from the beginning to the end. We cannot express how thankful we are for everyone. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of indulging here, you know how amazing the experience is. Well, they go above all expectations for weddings! The entire team deserves more than 5 stars! Seriously, don’t hesitate – book NOW! xx

One of the place to visit in Kelowna, BC is the Summerhill Pyramid Winery. Wine tasting is offered to everyone. The host bartender explains the wine process of the Ice Wine, their best seller. The icy wine is very smooth and soothing to taste. Cost is from $88 to $168 for a 750ml. There are a lot more good-priced varieties of in-house organic wines. Aside from wines, they have a bistro and an aboriginal gallery.
The staffs are friendly and welcoming.
The winery is in a huge land with its grape farm and the pyramid cellar where the wine is finished. It has a beautiful view scenery overlooking the Chute Lake. I recommend this place to visit.

A great first winery of our 2022 visit. You can not go wrong with this winery. Definitely will not be disappointed with a stay, I love the new outdoor wine tasting area.
Big bonus is non cost tasting. But to be fair I have never not picked up a bottle of wine from this place. Staff are always welcoming and not snobby. We did not do the food this trip but it has a amazing view and a good selection. Definitely a top 5 and a must hit for your trip.
Great place, great staff I’ve there twice with my kids and they had a really fun exciting time. The view is great lots of adrenaline.

Super fun experience, Did all 7 with my 10 year old and he has massive b--ragging rights!
The entire park is full of things to keep you entertained between lines and while waiting for your turn. Staff was all super attentive, friendly and funny!
Highly Recommend!

We booked in the 4 line option, which was awesome. Highly recommend more than two, they are so much fun.
The guides were amazing. Very safety conscious, but also encouraging and very fun and playful. There were adults and kids in our group and they were great with everybody.
If you haven’t gone, see some view you won’t see any other way!

Josh and Austin were great guides and we had lots of fun with them on the ziplines. They were very supportive of my wife who was a little nervous on some of the lines. Really great day and would thoroughly recommend.

I’m Sue and went zip lining with my friend Billy on the long weekend. It was amazing. We were first timers. Very nervous. Our guides, Journey and Nathan were excellent. Knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. Well organized and we felt safe. I highly recommend this zip line. It was exhilarating.

Me and my teenage kids did the 6 line adventure on August 3rd. All the staff we interacted with were fun and professional. Loved the quirky signs on the short walks between the lines also. Thanks for a great time!

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.

A fun, exhilarating experience. They have some outdoor games you can play before or after ziplining. They are knowledgeable and have great sense of humours.

Dan and Jason were awesome. My daughter who is 8 was terrified. She needed being brave and did it and had a blast. Thanks for the encouragement. The zip lines were fast and fun. The team really knew what they were doing and safety was always on the forefront. Thank you. We will come back.

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!

This ATV tour exceeded my expectations! I was looking for something fun and unique to do while visiting the area. The staff are amazing- very friendly, welcoming, and they provide great instruction on how to operate the ATV safely. I was a solo traveller and joined a small family, along with our tour guide Ben, for a 2-hour tour. The trails offer a mix of terrain and are no problem. The sights along the way are beautiful, we stopped at two look out spots on the tour. I will definitely be back some day!

My husband and I went on a 2-hour tour with Al, and it was awesome. We absolutely loved it!
It was my first time, Al kept checking on me to make sure I was comfortable. We also made some stops to take pictures. It was a neat experience.
The price is also very decent for the 2 hours.

Awesome experience. We took the 2 hour tour and the trials is great. Our tour guide Ben was helpful!!! and AL gave us the talk about safety being the priority then fun. Would do it again for the 4 hour tour!!!

We did a 4 hour tour. Al was our guide, we went on fun trails and got very dirty hahah. So do not wear white!!
There are some nice views-looking points that you stop at for picture opportunities.
For beginners 4 hours could be long as your thumb and can get cramped if you are not use to it. Do the 2 hour tour.

My family and I had a two-hour ATV tour. AL was very conscientious and friendly as our guide. After he understood that we didn't have any ATV experience, he clearly told us how to operate atv and precautions. He was also very patient and considerate to arrange a rest during the trip and took photos for our family. He also carefully felt my daughter's uneasiness and gave her great encouragement. We were very happy throughout this tour. The only regret is that the time passed too fast. Next time we will definitely choose 4 hours tour.

This was dirty, gritty, hot and awesome! So much fun even in 26 degrees( we went at 10am) Our tour guide (can't remember his name but have pic, the one in the pink n blue shirt) was a lot of fun. If your even a bit adventurous and have wanted to try quading check it out! If you're experienced he makes it difficult enough to keep you attentive. Check it out!

We had a great experience with our tour guide Al. The quads went well especially for me that was a first timer.
The trails were good, not too difficult to navigate and we enjoyed some really nice points of view.
