Spring break is right around the corner, and if you’re looking for fun and engaging activities to keep your little ones entertained in Kelowna, you’re in luck!
Whether you’re hoping to spend some quality time outdoors, take advantage of fun indoor adventures, or explore special events happening around town, Kelowna offers a variety of kid-friendly activities for all ages. Here’s a look at some of the best ways to make the most of spring break with your family in 2025.
Outdoor Adventures: Enjoy the Beauty of Spring
As the winter chill gives way to warmer temperatures, it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy all that Kelowna has to offer. Here are some of the best outdoor activities for families that want to take advantage of the springtime weather:
Kangaroo Creek Farm
A local favourite, Kangaroo Creek Farm in Lake Country is a must-visit for animal lovers. Kids can interact with kangaroos, wallabies, capybaras, and other unique animals in a hands-on environment. It’s a great way to enjoy nature while learning about fascinating creatures up close. Bring a camera to capture special moments as your children make new furry friends!
Myra Canyon Trestles
For families who love a bit of adventure, the Myra Canyon Trestles offer breathtaking views and an easy hiking or biking trail along historic railway trestles. It’s stroller-friendly, making it an ideal option for families with younger children who want to explore the great outdoors. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes and take in the fresh mountain air!
Waterfront Park & Kelowna City Park
Spend a day by the lake, soaking up the sun at Waterfront Park or City Park. Pack a picnic, play on the sandy beach, or let the kids enjoy the playgrounds and splash park. If the weather is warm enough, they may even want to dip their toes in Okanagan Lake! Just don’t forget sunscreen and sand toys for an extra fun-filled day (it’s easy to forget in spring!)
Don-O-Ray Farms & Sunflower Market
Looking for a fun and educational farm experience? Don-O-Ray Farms provides a petting zoo, mini golf, and delicious local produce. It’s a great place for kids to interact with farm animals and enjoy some fresh air. Stop by their market for fresh fruits and treats to take home for a tasty snack!
Indoor Fun: Keep the Excitement Going, Rain or Shine
Spring weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always good to have a few indoor activities planned. Here are some fantastic kid-friendly options that ensure fun no matter the forecast:

Pack extra towels and goggles for a smooth and exciting experience!
