If you're looking for an Okanagan vacation with plenty of things to do with kids, then you've come to the right place! The kids will love all the great activities available to them in Vernon. Pick your season and then pick your activity.
In the spring your young explorers will love all the hiking and biking trails in the area. Enjoy an afternoon at Allan Brooks Nature Centre or the Okanagan Science Centre or cycle the city and explore all there is to offer.
In the summer enjoy sun-soaked days full of wet and wild discoveries at the lakes and beaches, or head out to the waterslides. For your adventure seeker who wants to do something different, check out the Aerial Park at Oyama Zipline. Those who love the mountains will love heading up to SilverStar Mountain Resort. Come and enjoy the mountain by foot, the easy way! Take the gondola up (or down) and explore the trails with the whole family!
Fall is harvest time and there's nothing quite like picking fruit fresh from the trees and eating it right there.
Come winter, head up to the mountain and ski, snowboard and toboggan the days away. Head indoors to the Rock Garden Climbing Centre and let the kids burn some energy climbing.
Take the kids bowling, or explore some of our many kid friendly shops downtown. There's the Boarding House Café with great games for all ages, as well as Teeter Totter Toys and Vernon Teach and Learn. Head out to Lake Country and visit a real kangaroo farm or get your buckaroo on at Historic O'Keefe Ranch. Learn about the wildlife at the Canadian Wildlife Museum. Vernon is very kid friendly - even our golf courses would love to welcome you!
Whatever the ages, we are sure you'll find something for the kids to enjoy that you'll enjoy too!
