There's loads of fun for the whole family when you unplug on your vacation. Pick your season and then pick your activities.

Family Field Trips

Everyone loves a field trip! Grab the family and point your compass toward O'Keefe Ranch, Davison Orchards, or the Okanagan Science Centre. Roam Davison Orchards on a vintage apple train, uncover the mysteries of the universe at the Okanagan Science Centre's hands-on exhibits, or, head out to O'Keefe Ranch and be a pioneer for the day.

Time Out - Lake Style

Enjoy a day at the beach in Vernon; we have lots of them! Find the perfect spot for you and your family. Pick a quiet fishing hole, a hidden cove for a family picnic or a beachside playground, Vernon is overflowing with options for a well-deserved family time out.

Chill Out

Head up to Silver Star Mountain Resort and discover just how much fun playing in the snow can be. Ski or snowboard snow-ghost lined glades then gather the kids for a family pick-up game of hockey. Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre is a great place for the family to ski or snowshoe the trails. Get the kids giggling as they swoosh over our legendary powder from the seat of an inner tube. Whatever you choose, it's all warm family fun.
