Activities & Attractions

A v s, A s & F y F

When it comes to activities and attractions in the Okanagan, there is a great balance between local businesses and services and the perfect backdrop that Mother Nature provides for all of your outdoor adventure and pursuits.

When you are given a bounty of warm water lakes and stunning beaches there is only one thing you can do, open up your chair and let the relaxing begin! Whether you are looking to just relax on the beach, or want to do something a little more adventurous, each one of the major Okanagan lakes-- Kalamalka, Okanagan, Skaha & Osoyoos, have something to offer every traveler. But, there is so much more to do than just sit in sand, soaking up the sun.

Indulge in the “agritourism” hot spots like Planet Bee, a working honeybee farm, producing fresh honey, and other beautiful products or Davison Orchards, celebrating farming in Vernon since 1933. Stop by for their famous, fresh squeezed apple juice, or treat yourself to a fresh pie on this working orchard. For the finest fruits, vegetables, flowers, arts & crafts, visit one of the many Farmer’s Markets that fill the valley. Come support the local artisans and farmers for a real Okanagan experience. Or pit stop along the way at any of the dozens of orchards and roadside fruit and veggie stands. Enjoy the fruits of paradise, as the Okanagan is home to over 120 wineries & vineyards, from Salmon Arm down to sunny Osoyoos.

Although the Okanagan is truly famous for its long, hot summer days, it also has a growing reputation as becoming a winter destination too. If you are skiing, snowboarding or sledding, that light champagne powder makes the Okanagan your absolute winter haven.

You can’t possibly see and do everything, but be sure to take the time to have a sip at Okanagan Spirits, ride a zipline at Wild Elements Park, enjoy a drive in movie at Starlight Drive-In, wander around O’Keefe Ranch, blaze a trail along the Myra Canyon Trestles or ride aboard The Kettle Valley Steam Railway. The Okanagan has a solid “to-do” list for everyone in your party.

The heart of Vernon is at the intersection of Highway 97 and 30th Avenue.
