The Summerland Museum is a small quaint museum nestled in the heart of Summerland, BC. It's full…read moreof history of the town as well as the region. I'm sure it has parking, but we just parked in a lot next to some apartments and walked through the grass. Summerland is a laid back town and we didn't see any parking tickets or speed traps while there. The museum was a wonderful find for us because the administrator, Sherril Foster, was incredibly helpful and patient! I went in with some family members looking for history of our family and how they came to Summerland. Ms. Foster was kind enough to take out all the old binders, photos, and records she had of our two sets of ancestors that traveled from Japan to Summerland. We spent almost two hours with Ms. Foster and in the end we walked out with a huge amount of information and clarity on our roots we didn't imagine we'd find in a small sleepy town museum. Ms. Foster also allowed us to make copies of her records about our family. She normally would make the copies, but she did more research while she allowed me to use her copier in her office. She also plans to scan and email several photos that include my ancestors from the 1920's in Summerland. There is a computer with internet access that we were able to use to do more research on. There were also several books for sale, one of which we purchased because it mentioned our family in it. As we did some research, my husband wandered the museum and took a look at the displays. There were several interesting displays and we were impressed with the level of displays for a museum in a small town that exists on donations. Make sure to donate as you come in, as there is no entrance fee! And say hi to Ms. Sherril Foster, she's one helpful lady!

There was a small crowd of adults and a couple of teens on this tour, and the owner (Lee) kept the conversation interesting as we learned about Kelowna's history and even more current events happening downtown.

I would highly recommend this tour to tourists and even newcomers to the city, rain or shine!

Myra Canyon Trails offers spectacular views of the canyon, 2 tunnels and 18 trestle bridges. You can ride a bike or hike this easy & flat 24km trail. My friends and I decided to bike this section and I was the only one who didn't own a bike. Myra Canyon Bicycle Rental & Tours (MCBRT) was recommended by another friend who had rented from them. From beginning to end, my communication with MCBRT was great. My email inquiry was answered within a day and they were accommodating to my needs. Upon arrival, I whizzed through the line as I completed everything on-line and then given a quick overview & test of the bike. When I finished the bike ride, I just follow the signs to where to return the bike and helmet. I would certainly rental from them again as their bikes are well maintained. Tips: MCBRT is located at the Myra Station parking lot. The road up to the parking lot is bumpy and on a gravel road. Our car made it up in 20 minutes once off road with no problems so just go slowly on big turns. Myra Canyon Bike Rentals offers 2 bike rental times: morning (9am-1pm) and afternoon (1:30pm-5:30pm) and easy to book on their website. I couldn't be there at these start times but they accommodated me. Bring snacks and lots of water. We bought sandwiches and stopped for lunch at one of the many viewpoints to enjoy. No water fountains or concession stands on the trail. Bathroom breaks: there are 3 outhouses along the trail. The first one is at Myra Station parking lot. Take your time: the trail can be completed relatively quickly but where we lose the time is stopping for photos for and with the canyons, trestles and tunnels. We could easily spend 4 hours on the trail.

Much to our surprise, they didn't look anything like your average farm animal. Some chickens had plumes on the top of their head, making them look like they had a bad hair day; some had furry feet. The rams had four horns that looped around the side of their heads. They also had a dozen colorful birds. After a tour of the farm, we went back to the restaurant where the show was about to start. As the story went on, we were guided to different parts of the ranch. It wasn't a far walk, and the actors, though funny, were convincing. We headed back to the restaurant where we were seated with a few people we didn't know. Many people from Kelowna are friendly, so we didn't mind. Clues were passed around so we can guess who the murderer was, write it on a piece of paper and submit it for drawing. Before they revealed the murderer, we feasted on a buffet dinner, complete with an array of salads, veggie sides, prime rib, and desserts. When we were done, they revealed the murderer. The funniest part was reading what people have submitted for drawing. The first one who got it right got a CAD 50 gift card to the O'Keefe Ranch Gift Shop. You can't beat 50 bucks a person for both the show and dinner*! The show and dinner is only scheduled twice a year. Check their website calendar.

Unfortunately, I must leave a low rating because wheelchair accessibility was very poor…read more The guide was exceptional and so apologetic. But, this was a teaching moment for her as this was her first time locking in and securing a wheelchair properly on the shuttle. For some of the trips between wineries, I had to hang-on to my seatbelt that was attached to the floor in order to avoid tipping over in my chair. The first trip, I had to have my partner ( who has a very bad back) bend over and hang on-to the rigid frame chair to prevent me from falling forward or backwards. The bus ride was very, very, hot due to the air conditioning vent being at the back of the bus avoiding the designated wheelchair spot altogether. Overheating with a spinal cord injury can require emergency medical assistance because people cannot regulate their temperature. All of these issues should must be rectified as soon as possible especially as you are advertising as a wheelchair accessible shuttle service. Drivers should, at the very least, have practical experience, and extensive training for assisting people with disabilities in a wheelchair...and for this reason only, my review is a 2 out of 5 stars. This is unfortunate because everything else about the tour was exceptional, and all of the wineries had accessible ramps and washrooms. The Okanagan Wine region definitely does not disappoint! I just wish I could have relaxed on the excursion and felt comfortable and safe. Regretfully, Derek Moxam
