City of Gastronomy

Family Day Weekend is the perfect time to make memories together in Kelowna. Whether your crew loves snowy adventures, indoor attractions, or simply cozying up with local treats, Kelowna offers something for every family to enjoy.

Snowy Mountain Fun

Take advantage of the long weekend by heading to the slopes. Big White Ski Resort and SilverStar Mountain Resort both offer family-friendly skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and village activities. With terrain for all levels and plenty of on-mountain fun, the resorts make Family Day feel extra special.

Skating and Snow Play

Back in the city, bundle up for a skate at Stuart Park, Kelowna’s lakeside outdoor rink. Families can also explore local trails on snowshoes, build a snowman in neighbourhood parks, or enjoy sledding hills for simple snowy fun.

Indoor Attractions

If you’re looking to warm up indoors, Kelowna has plenty of options. Discover history and hands-on exhibits at the Okanagan Heritage Museum, burn off energy at climbing gyms or indoor play centres, or make a splash at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. Many family-friendly attractions offer special programming for the long weekend.
