OKANAGAN HERITAGE MUSEUM REVIEWS

Small, but great museum. It's great to learn a lot about the okanagan and their history. The entry is by donation. I enjoyed my time here reading and looking at all the artifacts!

The most comprehensive museum for everything about the Okanagan's history and environment. Great variety of exhibits from different cultures and locations, spanning thousands of years. An absolute must visit.

the lady at the front was really nice. i thought the little creatures (the taxidermy animals) were super epic sauce. 9/10 it was cool wish the dinosaur exhibit had more things to look at. i would go again.

KASUGAI GARDENS REVIEWS

A hidden gem this garden is! Quietly tucked behind city hall is this serene oasis. Best part is that this Japanese Garden is free to the public. It's a great little place to do yoga or meditation. It has many benches, few gazebos to sit and relax. A nice walk path with beautiful plants, trees, a waterfall and a pond filled with Koi fishes, water lilies & Lotus flowers. The size of the garden is fairly small, can be covered in under 10 mins but very well designed & maintained. It's a must visit peaceful spot in Kelowna!

An unexpected pleasant surprise! The garden is small but an oasis of tranquility. It was very well kept and entry was free. There was also Koi feeding in the afternoon which was fun to watch! I would recommend it especially combined with a visit to the heritage museum next door!

A must visit beautiful spot which has no entry fee to enjoy in a small garden.

KF CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE REVIEWS

Hidden gem of a museum at the Kelowna airport. So many locals I talk to have yet to visit this facility and I highly recommend! Venue recently hosted our car club for second year and I love this place. Vintage aircraft and a working museum with some restorations in progress. There are exhibits and cockpits with stuff for the kids to do as well and also a mezzanine coffee bar. Great spot!

This is a world class facility envisioned by private individuals who wanted to give back to their community and the aviation industry. Its structural framework is beautifully designed entirely of wood and the building clearly designed to resemble an aircraft. The brief history of this brand new facility and the displays already in place to inspire and educate younger generations about the diverse world that is aviation. It will hold interest of young and old. I will definitely be going back and bringing my grandchildren to learn all this facility was meant to inspire.

I didn't expect there is so big and modern museum in small Kelowna! A very interesting exposition for both children and adults. Strongly recommend visiting!
