Benvoulin Heritage Church, on Benvoulin Road in Kelowna: Tourism Kelowna

Kelowna is brimming over with interesting stories and here are a few to capture your imagination:

•

Armed with new irrigation systems in the early 1900’s, the Valley started shifting away from ranching toward orchards. Learn more about our agricultural roots at the BC Orchard Industry Museum and BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop.

•

From the home of tribes of the Okanagan First Nations to the settlement of the Oblate Missionaries evolving in the commercial hub of the Central Okanagan, Kelowna has undergone many transformations. Follow the Heritage Driving Tour to view more of Kelowna’s residential, cultural and community history. Pick up your copy of the tour at the Kelowna Visitor Centres.

•

Explore a wide assortment of other historical landmarks including the original Oblate missionary buildings built by Father Pandosy, and Guisachan Heritage Park and House, once the home of Lord and Lady Aberdeen.

We love to throw a party in Kelowna!

Here’s a taste of what to expect: •

Parks Alive! This is a series of free concerts and entertainment on Kelowna’s lakefront and various city parks that runs from June to September.

•

Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon is as much fun for the spectators as it is for the 1,200 athletes who take part.

There are twists and turns through the heart of the city, but the crowd favourite is the transition near the dolphins statue at Waterfront Park.

•

Quick tip

Whatever your indulgence, Kelowna delivers: •

From unique local shops to national retail chains, as the center of commerce in the Okanagan, Kelowna has an exciting collection of shopping options.

•

Just steps from the beach and City Park, Kelowna’s downtown has a blend of retail shops, galleries and lovely one-of-a-kind boutiques.

•

Strolling along Pandosy Street, you’ll find quaint shops in Tutt Street Square with art galleries, cafés and funky boutiques.

•

Slow it down and work out the kinks with a visit to a salon or day spa. You can choose among the deluxe facilities at major hotels and most resorts like Spa at the Cove AVEDA.

•

If you’d rather stick with the more traditional spa environment, indulge in a massage, mud wrap or mani/pedi at O Spa, Beyond Wrapture or Total E’Clips AVEDA SalonSpa. Consult the spa listings to find your perfect treatment.

Orchard Park Shopping Centre is the largest retail centre between Vancouver and Calgary with over 170 stores and services.

Gray Monk Estate Winery in Lake Country, north of Kelowna: Tourism Kelowna/Brian Sprout

Go on, get out of town for the day. We know you’ll be back!

The Okanagan Valley is yours to discover:

•

NORTH - Pop by Gatzke’s Farm Market in Oyama for fresh fruit and vegetables, an ice cream cone, a piece of delicious homemade pie or all of the above. Take a farm and orchard excursion, or have a picnic at Davison Orchards in Vernon. It’s just a short jaunt down the road for fun for kids (of all ages) at Atlantis Waterslides or the Historic O'Keefe Ranch.

•

SOUTH - Tour the wineries on the Naramata Bench, then check out the beaches in Penticton or float down the canal that joins Okanagan and Skaha Lakes. While you’re in the area, count the more than 25 wineries that dot the South Okanagan.

And did you know Canada has a desert? Explore the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert in Osoyoos and tour the Nk’Mip Desert and Heritage Centre.

•

EAST - Take a scenic tour past Big White and McCulloch Lake, then meander down the Kettle River toward Rock Creek. Take a right to bring you through to Osoyoos where you can dive into one of the warmest lakes in Canada. Circle back toward Kelowna and see some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. Maybe you will catch a glimpse of a bear, elk, moose or mountain goat along the way!

•

WEST - Head west to the Fintry Estate Provincial Park and climb the 300 steps up to the Fintry Falls then finish off with a meal at Lake Okanagan Resort. Meander through the charming communities of West Kelowna, Peachland and Summerland Stop for some beach time at one of the many hideaways, go for a stroll beneath the leafy canopy of a homestead nut farm or take a ride on the historic Kettle Valley Steam Train near Summerland.
