What to do and see in Kelowna, Okanagan Valley: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

June 3, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

The track is located at an elevation of 1.260 meters, it is relatively flat and can be cycled within 4 hours.

We offer ½ day guided/self-guided tours in the Myra Canyon or full day self-guided tours to Penticton.

We rented bikes for four hours to do the 24 km Myra Canyon trail. The online reservation system was easy, and the bikes were tagged and ready for us when we got there. The staff at check in and drop off were helpful, explaining the gears and the trail etiquette. The trail itself was fantastic. Flat and wide, over 18 trestles and through 2 tunnels. There can be some waiting at the trestles as they are one-way - if someone is on them coming towards you, you wait until they have crossed before you start across. I'd recommend coming in the morning, as it gets busy and there is more waiting in the afternoon, even on a weekday. We would definitely do this trail and rent bikes from this company again.

Such a fun activity to do when visiting Kelowna! My husband and I rented bikes from Myra Canyon bike rental and spent the morning exploring the paths that take you around the canyon, through caves and over old bridges that were previously used for trains. Would highly recommend!

Reviewed By TOguy66 - Whistler, Canada

On a quick Fall road trip from Lower Mainland we booked a quick tour with our 4.5 yr old daughter. Heather - who we understood to be the owner - was a superb host, a lot of fun and really great to talk with. The animals were all healthy, clean and friendly / gentle and the facilities were also obviously well cared for. I would highly recommend to families and groups; just when you think you knew a lot about (farm) animals...you learn even more at this place - regardless of age! Thank you Heather for a lovely afternoon.
