Going to Kelowna next month....what to do there?

[nonofyobiz]

Any suggestions on what to do in Kelowna the 3rd week of June???

GOing to visit my Grandman and some friends and will be staying on the west side of the lake. Prob go into town a couple times and hopefully it'll be nice and hot so we could spend some time on the beach.

oh ya, we have 2 lil' ones so lookin for some family friendly things to do

So much to do out there...go check out Thunder Mountain for some 1/8 action, go hike giants head in Summerland, relax on the various beaches, check out Silverstar in Vernon if you like mountain biking buy a red & white shirt and hop on a harley (kidding!)

If you have time, drive out to okanogan falls for some ice cream at Ticklberries

Also, the Okanogan has a ton of Go-Kart tracks/ MINI golf attractions.

Last, there is a waffle house just North of Kelowna on the main highway and there waffles are all you can eat for $15-16 iirc and really really good!

Damn, now i want some waffles...

What are the names of the good go karts in the kelowna area. I'll be there in July and need to keep my self entertained.

Since you have two little ones, I guess golf is out of the question? They have some amazing courses out there by Kelowna. Predator ridge is one of the nicer ones I played.

Depending on the season, you can go strawberry picking.

What to do you ask? The local girls.

Check out Kelowna Grand Prix. They've got a few different levels of carts, but they advertise there "formula" car to have a top speed of 90mph.

We had LOTS of fun last time we were there.

Its fun, but not even close to 90mph. The tracks here are only ok. Nothing special at all. If anything check out the new track at Scandia, or the the one in westbank. I personally find Malibu to be boring.

We were there with our kids "racing" the slower karts... I should have clarified that before...

cool cool cool

I want some waffles for SURE!@
I'd love to golf but even the friends we are stayin with don't golf so that prob won't happen.

Some short hikes sound good, pretty tough to do anything long with my little guy, he's not even 2 yet.

Is the Okanogan falls a long hike?

Hardy falls in peachland is a great place to go with kids, short hike with a decent picnic spot at a waterfall. And there's a ton of beaches around. Lots of good good in waterfront places with patios. I would suggest getting out of kelowna and going anywhere south if that. The desert in osoyoos is also fun, vaseax lake has some great hiking with Indian pictographs... I can go on if this is the kind if stuff you're thinking of. Summerland visitor centre will lend out fishing gear if you want to fish and don't have tackle with you.

If you're into chill days on the water, floating down the penticton canal is usually a good time. Just make sure to lather the shit out of yourself with sunscreen, not much shade out there.

THIS..& you might even catch a glimpse/hear "Relvis"(Elvis Rez style!)

Good cheap fun. But if you turn into a lobster at the sight of sun, def lather up as mentioned.
