How is it mid-August already?! Anyone else like us?.. full of big ideas and good intentions… and then BOOM you’re drunk in the back yard and summer is 3/4 over.

Maybe you tried to hit up all of the places on our 173 Family Friendly Summer Activities in the Okanagan list. Or maybe you didn’t get to do nearly as much as you wanted because of the C word, or fires, or the news, or the comfort of your air conditioned living room, or aliens…

…hey, we’re not judging, we just said we’re drunk in our backyards…

Either way, there’s still lots of time left to get out there and explore the Okanagan!

Team DTO and our friends at Hello Okanagan have put together a list of all the last minute fun summer things we want to do before September rolls on in. Are your Okanagan bucket list items on our list? Comment below! Maybe we’ll see you out there!

This is your redemption period! Make us proud!

SAFFRON WANTS TO..

TRY SOMETHING NEW

1. Build a bouquet of flowers at the new Sparrow Grass Field and Flower in Armstrong. Featuring u-pick flowers, locally made ice cream and a scenic farm view that’s perfect for pictures.

2. Go ziplining at ZipZone in Peachland. The also have a Ninja Course, DynaClimb climbing wall, Games Area and Puzzlearium.

JENNY WANTS TO…

BE ACTIVE

3. Rent E-Kruise electric bikes and cruise around downtown Kelowna, Knox Mountain and the beautiful vineyards of South East Kelowna.

4. Paddleboard over to Annie’s Beach Cafe and Lounge at Frind Estate Winery in West Kelowna. You can paddle up to the beach and sit right by the water as you enjoy delicious food and amazing wine.

KATIE WANTS TO…

KEEP THE KIDS COOL

5. Spend the day at Lakeview Park in Vernon and splash around in the peanut pool. It’s the perfect little wading spot for younger kiddos plus there’s a great playground there too.

6. Take the family to Splashdown Waterpark. They have kiddie slides for the younger kids and a variety of fun big slides for bigger “kids” (parents)!

SHEI WANTS TO…

GET IN THE WATER

7. Spend a lazy day floating the Penticton Channel for the first time ever!

8. Head to City Park in Kelowna and bounce on the Wibit. It’s not just for kids…plus you get your cardio in for the day.

ARIELLE WANTS TO…

KEEP HER ONE-YEAR-OLD ENTERTAINED

9. Tractor-train rides at Davison Orchards in Vernon. Plus visit the animals, play on the playgrounds and have some fresh fruit ice cream and pie!

10. Hang out with kangaroos and wallaby’s at the Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna. They also have capybaras, parrots, sugar gliders, turtles and other animals that kids (and grown ups) will love.
