One of top 2 best breakfasts in town. This place is LEGENDARY! Be aware that there are long wait times and no reservations on weekends, but it's worth it. There are a few shops around you can browse while waiting for your table.

The other greatest breakfast place in Kelowna. Also packed on weekends, but also has an amazing gift shop full of local goods with jam made right on the premise. This place was featured on a well known Canadian TV show (You Gotta Eat Here!).

Parks & Nature

You get to pet, cuddle, feed and hangout with REAL KANGAROOS!!! This is a MUST if you have kids or are an animal lover. It's a great petting zoo style farm, they let you hold baby kangaroos, and have lots of other animals.

Hiking

Look for the trail head and a small pathway that leads to Crawford Falls. To get to the lower falls takes about 20 minutes but is quite difficult. Once there, you will see 20 foot falls. If you continue about 10 more minutes you will see the larger falls (40 feet). Crawford Falls is located on Bellevue Creek. It can be reached by the following: Gordon Drive to Dehart Road; Dehart Road to Crawford Road; Crawford road to Westridge Drive. Turn on to Canyon Ridge Crescent and finally to Canyon Falls Court, which is a dead end. You will see a Kelowna City Parks trail that you can follow to beautiful waterfalls

This highly scenic portion of the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) runs along a steep-walled canyon. Originally built by hand at the turn of the last century, this impressive landmark is highlighted by 2 tunnels and 18 trestle bridges that are too spectacular for words. You can hike it, or bike it. Direction to Myra Station: Follow K.L.O. Road to McCulloch Road, which you follow past the pavement. About 2 km after the pavement ends on the right is the Myra Forest Service Road. Follow this road for 8 km to the parking lot. The first trestle is a few hundred metres away.

Knox Mountain is a pinnacle of downtown Kelowna, and a paradise for hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and photographers. The Apex trail can start either from the base, or the parking lot halfway up the mountain*. With steep ascents in spots, it travels 2.1 km to the top, from which hikers are welcomed by panoramic views of Kelowna, West Kelowna and Okanagan Lake.
