Fun for all, Fall activities

As the weather is slowly starting to cool down, here in Vernon B.C, it’s almost time to start planning some fun fall activities that the whole family will enjoy, and we’re here to help! As always, some outdoor fun is a great place to start! A nice hike through Kal Park or along the Grey Canal trail, or a bike ride on the BX Bike Loop! You can easily make this an all day activity by bringing along a picnic and a soccer ball! If you have your GPS with you, geocaching is also a great option, if you’re not sure what geocaching is or how to get started, this might help http://tourismvernon.blogspot.ca/2012/08/fall-is-great-time-for-geocaching.html !

 

 

If outdoor activities aren’t really your thing, we recommend checking Davidson’s Orchards! Along bella vista road, this fun filled farm themed orchard has everything! From a cow themed playground to ‘Critter Corral’, where you can feed and see some of the farm animals! It also has a quant café, known for their delicious ‘Deep Dish Apple Pie’! Need some groceries? No problem! The Country Village has fresh fruits and vegetables, jams, and baked goods! Also with fall, comes caramel apples!!! But for those of you with a sweet tooth, Planet Bee has all your honey needs covered! Located beside Davidson’s Orchards, it has a wide selection of different types of honey to test and buy and you can see live honeybees working busily!

Another option is visiting the Okanagan Science Centre, with multiple programs, activities and events including the special exhibition ‘WaterWorks’! Also a visit to the Planetarium is always out of this world!!! On chilly day, you can have the outdoors indoors with a visit to the Allen Brooks Nature Centre, the best place to learn about all the different creatures, plants and wildlife here in Vernon! With different tours and hands on activities, it’s a great way for the whole family to spend the day learning, exploring and have fun!

With all these great fall activities in mind, come down to Vernon B.C and “Make Vernon Yours”!
