It's located on 3'rd Avenue, just a short distance from Wallace Street and the entrances to District Hall, and one side of Memorial Park -- thus, providing easy and very convenient access into the Park, Friendship Garden, and all the adjacent downtown streets of the city. The bus stop itself is a simple, very neat, and attractive design, set in a lovely, scenic location -- with benches, and some signage indicating facts & figures about Hope, and the world of visitors it receives. For me, on this sunny, bright, and warm late-March day, it sure looked 'cool', and caught my attention!

Other reviews suggest bringing a flashlight, which we did, but it really wasn't all that necessary. There were 4 distinct tunnels through which to walk; one was very short. Only one was long enough to make the darkness of the tunnel feel a bit spooky. But the feeling passed as we continued walking. There's a large parking lot, with more than enough free parking for when we arrived on Thursday around noon. There are 4 toilets just adjacent to the parking lots, which is great because the location of the park is a bit remote. Would definitely recommend everyone making a trip!

We had popped in to take a look at some of the available brochure offerings and the like, ask staff a few questions about some of the local attractions, get some driving and walking directions, and check out a map or two. Staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful -- we were able to acquire all the information we hoped for, and left with a good selection of brochures, maps, and other 'stuff' to take back to the car and motel room. Our visit, though quite brief (as we were heading out of the city at the time, and anxious to get on our way), was fun and productive, and we were happy to have made the stop when we did, finding the information very helpful to travelling/activities planned for that day, and onwards over our stay.

This is Princeton's most famous landmark. It's an old bridge and it's a single lane! This brown…read morebridge called The Brown Bridge crosses the Tulameen River. It was built in the 1930s. Let's give credit to the City of Princeton for preserving this historic landmark which has a lot of character. The first bridge built on this river was swept away during a flood in 1886. After the incident, this bridge was built with better construction and it sure paid off. In 1958, a huge ice jam on the river almost took down The Brown Bridge, but it survived. I had a lot of fun walking on this bridge and driving across it too. I ended up putting the car in reverse so I could let another car cross it.

Victoria Day, my friend and I went to the Yale Historic Site. As the name suggests, it's a…read morehistoric site, in Yale. The attractions include a museum, a church built in 1863, and a tent city representing what life was like during the gold rush in 1858. The tent city consisted of tents and buildings representing the quarters of Chinese railway workers, a bath house, a jail, a general store, and of course, a saloon. In one of the tents there were costumes, complete with shoes, for people to try on. Even though it was a holiday, there weren't a lot of people, so my friend and I spent at least a good half an hour trying on the costumes and taking goofy photos. Yale Historic Site is a bit cheesy, but it's a cute, fun little attraction, and a good place to bring the kids. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

When in Yale itself, we did a sort of self-sightseeing tour, with a drive and walkabout, around and into some parts of 'Historic Yale'. It was the end of the season for all the tourist 'Heritage Attractions' there that day, and an early-am visit for us, and none of the attractions had opened for the day as yet, and the area itself, very quiet. This was no surprise, we had not expected anything more, and by going there, had really only wanted to drive around, catch some of the outdoor sights, and capture a few photos. On the way into Yale, we stopped on a highway pullover, to read some 'tourist info signage' posted, and got some lovely, distant, and slightly elevated views of the town. From there, we drove to, and down into the 'Historic Yale' site area, for some up close viewings of attractions -- which included: signages on the highway & within the site, back & front views of the 'Yale Historic Museum' ('The Creighton House'), parking lot & public restrooms, fenced walkway & signage to the Museum, and when driving out of the site, to go back up to the highway, a couple of views of 'St. John The Divine Church'. For us, it was an nice opportunity to catch some early-autumn views from Hope to, and within Yale. A quiet, peaceful, much-enjoyed, early-morning experience, with many wonderful sights in such a beautiful and historical area of the Province.

Federico took us to several beautiful spots around the bay, including one where we spotted seals lounging and even a bald eagle perched nearby. Later, we were lucky enough to see a sea lion surface right beside us - such a cool moment! We happened to be the only two on the tour, which made the experience feel even more special. Federico was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, attentive, and easygoing, with a great sense of humor. He kept a comfortable pace throughout and made sure we felt warm, safe, and supported the entire time. Peaceful water (well, we were lucky for that!), incredible wildlife, and a guide who really cares - what more could you ask for? The boats we were in were high quality and the shop is top tier. The people who work at this organization are extremely skilled kayakers who are dedicated to helping the kayak community. The shop has kayak skills courses as well and is dedicated to promoting excellent kayaking. If you're considering a kayak tour in the area or upping your kayak skills, I can't recommend Ocean River Sports enough.

We ended up doing a two hour rental with a tandem kayak from Ocean River Adventures. Getting there was a short ten minute walk from our hotel. The entire rental process was very quick and easy and their rental equipment is very good. It was a good value for the equipment and time we got to use the kayak. The kayak tracked beautifully in the water and we had a wonderful time cruising around the harbor for a couple hours. We even had a seal that popped its head out of the water about 20 feet in front of us! Lee (I believe he is the owner) and Wesley were a delight to deal with. I would highly recommend this company.

As a…read morekid growing up in Montreal, I vividly remember being taken on a school field trip when I was around 7 to "Upper Canada Village", in Quebec, which was a whole mock village from roughly 1750-1800, which was HUGE, and where there were tons of people dressed in costume, demonstrating how potters and blacksmiths and bakers and "doctors" and "vets" and traders and everyday people lived, back back in the day. It was like Disneyland to me, and this field trip made such an impression, I pursued history as my major throughout university and even grad school. Fort Langley had the same appeal to me, even though it is on a much smaller scale than UCV. And even though , in this pandemic age, most of the edifices were unstaffed. Despite all this, I still loved it - as did my 21 yo daughter. Here's what's cool: they have a huge, free parking lot. (Plus some picnic benches, too, and lots of grassy field, if you want to have a picnic here). The admission prices are reasonable (I am attaching a photo of the pricing list). You can pay a bit extra for a guided audio tour. Or, they do give tours to groups if you arrange this in advance (there was a camp group of kids on a guided tour while we were there). The site is super well-maintained, and even if the buildings aren't staffed while you are there, there are excellent plaques and signs describing the items and the site. (Depending on when you go, though, the buildings may be staffed. Call in advance if this is important to you). Also, FYI they have many clean, accessible bathrooms in the visitors' area, when you first enter the site to purchase your tickets (IMP always good to know where the bathrooms are in town, if needed!). Here's what's good or bad, depending on your personal preference: the place is fairly small. I can't see spending more than an hour here. For my kid and me, we think this is a plus. If you are expecting an involved experience with bells and whistles, you probably will be disappointed. Here's the negatives: as mentioned, when we visited, all the buildings were unstaffed, so there were no staff members at the cooperage or the kitchen building or the managers' house, or the servants' quarters, etc. This might be important to some people, so call first if it is to you. (The only building manned was the blacksmith building, and Ahmed there was phenomenal! We got an impromptu history lesson AND a demonstration of his making a hook, which he gave us to keep. Super cool!). Also, remember to bring bug spray and sunblock and a water bottle. (We visited last year but had no bug spray and one of my kids was already getting bitten a lot, so we opted not to see the Fort then. This year, we knew better. Be prepared!). I'm attaching photos of the main plaques and signs and price list, as well as the brochure (sorry for the creases!).
